A HUGE thank you to Reiko for satisfying my Jay-Z jones and gifting me his new book Decoded!
 I love Jay's swagger, there is something about him that appeals to me and he is so intelligent. (Or maybe it's because his birthday is December 4th so we are both Sagittarius' and like attracts like!)

My birthday is coming up in December so maybe the Birthday Fairy will bring me one or all of these goodies.  I really REALLY want the book, I'm a sucker for a book and a style book is extra awesome.

Shaken, not stirred......

I am of the opinion that style should be ever evolving. I don't want to be pigeon-holed into one particular style of dress so I have decided to shake things up a bit. I will begin to experiment with more variable looks and take inspiration from different sources. I am excited about doing more thrifting to find great one of a kind pieces.

A few things I'm considering:


ASOS Leather Suede Fringe Front Heeled Sandal $45.50


I think the sleeves used as the tie around the waist is what makes this so appealing to me.
