'Unique' Jewelry

Image
I'm into rings and bracelets (bangles) this time around and my favorite place to shop for jewelry is randomly, on the street. I go to 'my guys' on Court Street Brooklyn or to my friends at Unique on Jamaica ave, Jamaica ny. I always browse around h&m's and Forever21's jewelry section as well These are my latest jewelry pieces. In a couple years I will start investing in classic (real) gold and silver pieces. For now, these will do (L to R) Unique ($1) and Street vendor ($2)... The red crosses are pink on the other side. Might paint it red Unique ($1) and Gift Bad (to the bone) -Unique ($2 each) and 'Love' -Street Vendor ($2) Blessings J

Spring Budget Shopping

Image
Here are just a few things I picked up :) You can't go wrong with these cross body bags in the summer. I plan on getting one of each color...I'm probably reaching here lol At least 2 more I love the black and white trend this season. Can't wait to wear this... it was only $6 Bin eyeing this top for a while. Its now where it supposed to be :D Think i'll pick up another color in this. It will be good to wear with a bantu top under or even over swim wear Finally I got my black body con mini skirt. This was crazy cheap and it fits amazing. Only thing, in general (with Danice clothing), the sizes might be a bit off so you have to know your body not just the clothing size, if you know what I mean Eg. this skirt is a large and it fits very snug like I would expect a small to fit. I had to really stretch it and inspect it first before deciding I needed a large (usually wear medium) Ok ok almost everything is from Danice, but for good reas...

DIY: Studded

Image
Got these for $3.99 (3/ $10) @ Pretty Girl! STEAL! (The sizes run small. I'm a size 8, but a 9 fit perfectly) They say 'Forever 21' on the inside..... Heard there are similar ones at H&M as well for around $10 each  1. Ok. I used the studs off of this old belt to create a pattern on these kicks You can find similar ones at a craft store 2. The studs are spiked at the back. I straighten them with the tip of a small scissors or my teeth (CAREFULLY) after I take them off the belt and placed em were I wanted them to be on the shoes. 3.   Be sure all 4 spikes go all the way through the fabric. I used the tip of the scissors to carefully clamp them down :) It took me about 2 hrs to complete I wanted to add studs on the inside as well, but ran out.  Gotta Love it! Get studding!!

DIY: The Black Hand Print

Image
I'm not sure what's the right term for this print, so I called it the obvious. Also i'm not gonna take full credit for this lol. I was inspired by a video I saw on YT.  I thought it was fly and super easy to do Got me a cheap ($4) sweater (it's light weight) from a store called Pretty Girl Black fabric paint with a little water and mix it Press hands in paint and apply gently on material wherever you want  Since the material is thin, I needed my cousin to hold it down while I pulled my hand off So have someone handy just incase. Love the results!! If you want the hands all the way filled in with black (or any color you choose) make sure to use more paint! Will show in an OUTFIT post soon ;) Oh! I wanted my guy to put his palm for me ;) but he is away and I could't wait LOL Maybe next time Go Ahead, Try it with an inexpensive, old, or thrifted sweater/ t shirt/ jeans!! Be creative and even colorful ;)   Ble...

'Buffalo Exchange' REVIEW

Image
Buffalo Exchange 109 Boerum Pl. Brooklyn NY 11201 718 403 0490 How it works "...clothing and accessories are bought, sold and traded locally with store costumers  Bring in your former favorites for trade or cash on the spot...inventory includes  designer labels, vintage, jeans, leather, current basics and one-a-kind items" What happened- MY experience *Sigh* Mom and I went here hoping to get big bucks (at least $100) for our items. Nope. They were very picky with the items they took; looking at style, brand, color etc. (as sorta stated above) I called in advance to find out what items they would accept. They go by trends and seasons mostly, so right now, sweaters, boots, coats etc. We were able to get rid of only 4 items. Leather boots, dress pants, vintage skirt (they loved that one) and... hmmn, cant remember...or was it 3 items?! Any way, they first told us the amount they would sell the items for and offered us a percentage of that price...
