of style and of substance

The glass is half full, Cheers to 2014!

2014, the year of learning, living, hurting, loving and more learning. Probably one of the greatest years that definitely shaped my life, no mistake about that. It was the year of my first apartment, the first time I got to decorate my own living room and cook in my own kitchen. It was the year I got my first tree and learned that maybe chinese leftovers for two weeks straight isn’t the smartest thing a 23 year old with her own kitchen should be doing. It was the year of responsibility but also the year of class. Prefering wine over vodka, nights in with the girls instead of sweaty bars and smelly clubs in New York City. Preferring tv show reruns and tea until 3 am instead of bottle service til the crack of dawn. Realizing I wasn’t born to work for anyone but myself, Be my own boss and run my own show. Realizing that perhaps I wasted tons of time with the wrong people. But then again realizing that it wasn’t time wasted since I walked away learning.  Realizing that you only need about 3 good people in your life because those are the ones of who keep it the realest. Lessons and adventure? I was knee deep in both. Which makes me truly grateful.

Stardust: NYE Inspiration

Brace yourselves for tons of sparkles and metallics. Spending my NYE with the good old souls — Valentino and  ‘Gabrielle’ Chanel. Nothing glistens brighter than their work. And nothing surely says I’m killing 2015 more than this vintage sequin mini dress. I mean, I might as well be the ball dropping in Times Square. Add a Timeless piece such as Valentino on top of the sequined piece and perhaps now you mean more business than party but business in a way where wine perhaps is involved? *wink.wink* Like they say, nothing says class like Coco Chanel. A classic piece such as this along with pants or trousers would definitely peal you away from the rest of the crowd. But what’s so bad about that? Absolutely nothing. In order to be number 1, you must be odd. If you already are , you must stay odd. A true believer at that. All these pieces , timelessly found at Thriftwares.net ! It’s not too late, grab your fave and rock it out at midnight!

Get summered in Fall

Totally done with Winter and it hasn’t even happened yet. My mind just gets magnetized to thoughts of palm trees, 90 degree air kissing your cheeks, Santa Monica’s beach waves combing through your hair while jamming out to The Atlantics and Beach Boys.

Reverie [v.] a state of daydreaming

I’m done with Winter and it hasn’t even happened yet. Just the thought of 9 degree weathered days, snow fall, and the curse of the Uggs ( liest ) … Already crippling my mind. I shall blame it all on Ronit Genit designer of Reverie New York and Ricky’s NYC.  An afternoon spent with this bad ass combination was enough to convince me that fall should be the only season althroughout the world. Ronit’s new Fall / Winter Collection is astounding paired with Ricky’s new line of stockings.  It makes you forget how wonderful summer dresses are, as Ronit’s oversized pashmina dresses outshine any spaghetti strap tank like no other and Ricky’s polka dotted stockings make you forget bikinis ever existed. The two are quite the pair. A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to meet the lady behind the perfect hems and was the only dork in the room pinching myself to be working with her designs. If you’re not getting Givenchy vibes from her pattern, use of luxurious fabrics and design formulation, you’re on the wrong planet.    Reverie is a New York based and produced womenswear brand. Ronit mentions to me ” My favorite part of designing is the process of creating her vision and concept for each season, but I also love’s to see people wearing the clothes and feeling special and unique in them. I love creating and researching the concept behind each design. My inspirations are always very fluid and come from many places, from street fashion, to art and sculpture. Sometimes ideas come from the most unexpected places.” This combination has got me daydreaming of fall and I don’t mind it. Not one bit. Shop Reverie and pick up the perfect pair of stockings from Rickys NYC. xo, JG
