Wild Thang

Last week, I found a really great pair of pants from Harold + Maude Vintage (down the street from where I live in Bedstuy) and was searching for something to pair them with. I remembered I purchased a leopard print pant set a couple months back and that blouse literally matches everything, so the below look happened...

Necklace by Gorjana (got it from my rocksbox subscription...details at the bottom)

I was feeling really tired last Friday, but I've been tryna blog more, so this was the result, haha. 

Here's what I'm talking about--you can pair leopard with anything... Especially floral prints!

And now from my view... Ring by Robyn Rhodes (details below)

Okay, now about the jewelry...

My Version of a Sweater Dress

I've seen a lot of "sweater dresses" in stores lately and in magazines and I'm not saying they aren't great, but I have a simpler version I like to wear and it's basically a men's sweater worn as a dress and paired with tights or knee high socks. It can be worn as an oversized top or as a dress, it can be inexpensive, and most importantly, it's straight to the point. 

Seriously, consider wearing your dude's sweater as a dress. 

It also makes me feel tougher. Not sure why, but it just does, hehe. 

Oh, the coat and the sweater are for sale on Bum-Cake.com or Etsy. 

The coat is a grape colored tweed and the sweater is a mix of violet and navy with a honeycomb print. 

Postin' up.

Sweater can be found here or etsy

Coat can be found here or etsy

Knee highs are Steve Madden

Boots & earrings are vintage

 Back in Bedstuy.

It's "The Rush"

So last weekend, I was rushing home from somewhere down the block and I ran into photographer extraordinaire, Kwesi Abbensetts, on the street. I was thinking "of course I would be shot on a rough day haha (hair a hot mess, sweaty and tired, obviously not looking my best)", BUT amazingly, he still captured the good side of me and I love it! Check out his awesome work at: spaceshipgeorge.com.

I heart David

Don't you just LOVE David?!! Aaaaggghhhhh... (don't mind me...)

Not to be soooooo "cliche," but "muah—smooches" 

Writer's block on the ad libs, but whatev...

Outfit: T-shirt- Vintage (and for sale), shorts- h&m, tights- dkny, heels- zara, necklace- vintage, hoops- craft fair fresh, purse- hot red and vintage 

So apparently "I <3 David"... and you're probably thinking "Who the heck is David"? Well by David, I mean Bradley haha. Anyway, this is a 1980's vintage t-shirt that I surprisingly found in Brooklyn. Yes, it's for sale and no, I don't wear this as my own—I just modeled it this one time. I really love that there are numbers on the back like a jersey (it's the perfect detail to add). The letters and the heart on the front are kind of velvety too, which is pretty nice. Got questions? Email me: christiana [at] bum-cake.com.

Oh, one more thing... this was shot when it was still cold out, soooooo please disregard the tights, haha.
