MAKE IT NASTY


How I missed Nasty Gal's November lookbook is a damn shame! Really don't know how this dope shoot didn't cross my path until now but let me tell you I'm obsessed. Platinum blonde Naomi Preizeler gets styled by Nasty Gal in vintage tracksuits, snapbacks, metallics and sequin embellished pieces for a futuristic meets retro shoot in the desert. The contrast between the powdery white sand and the clear blue skies really makes these pictures stand out to me. If you love this lookbook as much as I do check out the rest here and shop these pieces on NastyGal 

XOXO

T-SHIRT TIME


It's TSHIRT TIME! Ashley Smith dresses up t-shirts with skirts and funky accessories for the November issue of Elle Mexico. Lately, I'm loving the idea of pairing casual pieces like t-shirts with more sophisticated pieces to create a laidback but cool look. Here, Ashley is seen pairing graphic tees with pencil skirts or mini skirts; it's great inspiration for an outfit to go out or to go to work.

RED


In need of some color inspiration? Red can solve your neutral woes. A lot of people tend to avoid red for the sole reason that it's bright and powerful but don't be afraid, red doesn't always mean danger. This is a great color year round and believe it or not is very flattering to many skin types. Next time you're shopping or putting together an outfit, opt for some bold red to brighten your look.

BLACK MOTO JACKETS


For decades, the motorcycle jacket has been a wardrobe piece that screams rebellion and mischief. Both of those adjectives are a hell of a combination and I personally think there's nothing wrong with that (; Whether it's faux leather or real leather, a black biker inspired jacket can instantly give a "cool" factor to any outfit and make you feel like a total badass. Throw it over a simple tee and rock it with skinny jeans for a classic look or pair it with a frilly dress for something different. Trust me, this jacket can be worn with everything and anything; it's no surprise that it's been a staple fall/winter piece year after year.

CARA BABY




Matt Irwin shoots the many faces of the stunning, Cara Delevigne, for Style Magazine. I just can't get enough of this girl, she's too damn cute! Maybe it's her striking eyes or the fact that her face is perfectly symmetrical but her beauty if one of a kind. Girl crush, anyone?

P.S. Margiela x H&M in a few hours! Can't wait!

ITALY MEETS CORAL GABLES



Incase you didn't know, I am a shoeaholic. haha Is that even a word? Anyways, Andrea and I were reached out to preview the line of this new Italian shoe store that just opened  in Merrick Park, Coral Gables. I really didn't know what to expect, other than well hand crafted leather goods. Until I walked into this amazing little store, located on the first floor of Merrick Park.
I had to grab some pics of my faves :) These are perfect Fall shoes, easy to pair with a dress, jeans, and well, of course....shorts!
The design of the store is amazing! Extremely modern and welcoming. 
The shoes are displayed on shelves which go around the store, Women's on the left and Men's on the right. Merchandised with the shoes are handbags which you could match with the right shoe. I really didn't know what to try on because there were so many options. Anything from sandals, flats, booties, tall boots, flat boots, oxfords, you name it! 

XOXO,
Naty

REMIXED VINTAGE

A couple of weeks ago, I was introduced to a new and upcoming vintage brand owned by a young professional. My good friend just recently started working for this vintage brand, and I know that anything she introduces me to is creative and fun. Once I spoke to the owner, I was able to visit the warehouses which are located here in South Florida last week. I got a tour of the warehouses, and  was able to talk to know the owner, Ryan, of this REMIXD brand.


Ryan's dad has been in the vintage clothing business for over 20 years, Urban Outfitters being their biggest account right now. They mostly specialize in vintage tees (so many cool tees!), but vintage Levi's are definitely popular demand.
So, Ryan decided to get a little creative with these cut off shorts. He bought some from his dad's huge load, and experimented with dyes, studs, spikes, and buttons.
Last Saturday, I was able to visit REMIXD as they set up shop at the infamous Wynwood Artwalk. Apart from REMIXD, Ryab's vintage tee brand is called 'Vintage U Wear', seen below.
The warehouse. Yep! Jeans galore!! Here women work all day, cutting vintage Levi's jeans into super cute and trendy cutoff shorts.
This is Ryan's collection of vintage tees, which he sells on eBay right now. I could be in here for days going through the coolest, and oldest tees I've seen. You name it, he has it.
Another shot of the warehouse, its huge!! There's bundles and bundles of jeans and tees everywhere you look. 

I can't wait to get my hands on a pair of these shorts, so many color combinations I wouldn't know which to pick. Follow the brand on instagram, twitter and Facebook. C'mon now, 21st century here! :) @RemixdApparel & @VintageUWear

XOXO,
Naty
