NERDY SNOW LEOPARD

Image
I love this snow leopard print vest. 1st for the print and then because it is oh so soft! I am not sure if you all know this or not but I am blind! lol I wear contacts on the weekends but during the week I wear my eyeglasses. I have 3 pairs that I alternate. These are by Coach. This dress was thrifted and the shoes are Ralph Lauren. Any who, It is very obvious that I need 2 things....(1) an eyebrow wax and (2) a new camera. I asked Santa for a new DSLR camera for Christmas and I hope and pray that I get one. All of my pictures are taken with a Canon point and shoot which is why the quality is poor. On some post my face shows up nicely and on others it appears splotchy and fuzzed.  With Love, Kiah p.s. I am going to do a Q&A soon. Please leave any questions that you may have for me/about me in your comments. Also, I've been posting a LOT lately. Why? Because you only live once, right! I vow to wear everything in my closet before I die! haha

DIAGONAL STRIPES

Image
This top is actually a vintage dress! I pulled on a maxi skirt over it and BAM a top! I love the diagonal stripes. The maxi skirt is from F21, shoes Ralph Lauren and earrings are vintage. With Love, Kiah

LION KING

Image
  This feather stole from F21 is so awesome! I love it! It reminds me of a fierce lion mane! lol This dress was thrifted. The cardi is from Dillard's. Belt - Lane Bryant and boots Franco Sarto. I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving. We all have so much to be thankful for. I am thankful for Jesus, family, friends and health. Today my family is putting up our Christmas tree! It is our tradition to put it up Thanksgiving weekend.  Have you put yours up yet?   I know this outfit has a lot going on but I get in moods to dress with this mindset...."sometimes too much is just enough!" lol You can now view my posts on Skorch Magazine through my own URL here  From the Rez to the City Skorch URL .

SHIMMER, SHEER and SPOTS

Image
All of my faithful followers know I love 3 things....SPOTS, SHEER and SHIMMER!! When I saw 2 of my faves in this one ASOS Curve skirt, I died!! I thought of so many different ways to wear it but I decided on this shimmery bronze top that I found at Ross of all places. I tied my lace H&M scarf around my neck and BAM! I hope you like! The message at church today was taken from Acts 16:30-31  30 Then he brought them out and said, "Sirs,   what must I do to be   saved?"  31 And they said,  " Believe in the Lord Jesus , and you will be saved, you   and your household." Point of the message: You do not have to do anything "special" to gain salvation. It is a free gift from God. All you have to do is Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved. I encourage all of my readers to read my "Jesus Freak" page to learn more about salvation. Our God is an awesome God and He is mighty to save! With Love, Kiah

COLOR BLOCK AND HOUNDSTOOTH

Image
Ladies let me tell you how much I adore this vintage color block jacket! I found it at a local vintage store for $9. You read that correctly....$9!!!! Generally color blocking looks best when using solid colors but I thought it would be fun to change it up a bit. I paired the jacket with my cowl neck houndstooth dress that I got from Lane Bryant a while back. I have always been a lover of houndstooth and have several items in the print. Funny to me how it is suddenly such a popular print. The fact is, this has forever been a staple print in any classy lady's wardrobe. The boots are by Sofft.   I'm off to see the midnight viewing of Breaking Dawn with Chastity of The Curvy Girl's Guide to Style . I will try and get some pics but I can't promise anything as it will be after midnight and I will probably be a walking Zombie since I worked all day! haha With Love, Kiah p.s. Are there any other Twilight lovers out there?  p.p.s. I promise these "hair blowing in th

TUXEDO and TIGER become friends

Image
Hey Y'all! I hope everyone is having a great week! I have had this all black tuxedo blazer and tiger print skirt forever! I don't really know why I have never worn either but they met and became friends today. lol I can't imagine such a classic menswear inspired piece going without a great brim! Hope you like! With Love, Kiah

TIGHT ROLL

Image
When I was in middle school the fad was tight rolling your pants. We used to take our jeans, fold them over at the ankle and tight roll them. With the new popularity of the peg, ankle and harem pants, I thought I would reminisce back to middle school by tight rolling my pants today. Did you tight roll your pants or am I aging myself? lol It has been very windy here...hence the wild hair!! lol  I tried to clean up my blog a bit by creating separate pages for things but it seems to be slowing down my blog so I may have to change it back. *insert sad face for all my work* I want to thank my girl  Vivi  for helping me do this via Twitter!! With Love, Kiah

THE COLOR PURPLE

Image
The color purple is one of the most beautiful colors on the planet! The color is so special that it has been used to represent power and royalty. I think it compliments all skin tones and hair colors. It has been rainy and gloomy here in Dallas over the past couple of days but this afternoon the sun decided to pay us a visit so I got dressed and went out to play in my Asos Curve play suit! I have worn this play suit in a previous post so to change it up a bit I added my recently thrifted purple dress (worn as a coat).  I want to close by saying I send up prayers for the family of the recently deceased OVERWEIGHT LOVER HEAVY D! Yo Heavy, I made up dance routines to your songs when I was growing up and you will be missed! With Love, Kiah p.s. The movie "The Color Purple" is one of my favorites!! btw- do you notice anything different? I died my hair back to its natural color.

JIM MORRISON MEETS ZEBRA

Image
When I put on these faux leather pants (I.N.C. via Macy's) I instantly felt rocker chic! When I think of leather pants, I always think of Jim Morrison of "The Doors" and his love for his leather pants (which he never took off)!! lol We all know that Jim was pretty much always on that "stuff" so I thought the title was fitting. I'm sure during some of his trips to la la land he met a few animals!! LOL I decided to pair my pants with this fabulous zebra blazer that I scored off eBay months ago. The blazer is a bit big but I still love it! Earrings are vintage and the shoes are by Modern Vintage.  WE LOVED YOU JIM!! TOTALLY RANDOM   Here are some of my favorite beauty products... 1.) Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash 2.) L'oreal Futur-e Daily Moisturizer 3.) Dove Bar Soap - Currently using Winter Care 4.) Crest 3D White Toothpaste - Really works! 5.) Dental Floss (I would die without this)! Really!! 6.) Revlon Eyelash Curler - So need this because my lashes

MAXED OUT

  Thrifted dress that I let out to the MAX w/K-Dash moto jacket and Jeffrey Campbell wedges. Handbag is B. Makowsky. With Love, Kiah

WANNA PLAY

Image
When I saw this playsuit on Asos.com a few months ago I feel in love!!! I loved the little silver studs all over it. I knew that it would look great with something underneath it, over it or alone. I decided to pair it with my white Ralph Lauren pintuck shirt and then took it a bit further by adding a sparkly broach to the collar. After I had everything on, I knew exactly what was missing...a "pop" of color!! I added my red Jeffrey Campbell wedges. I hope you like it! It is one of my fave looks thus far!   Hey look!!! I changed up my signature hairstyle, the bun, and moved it to the side!! lol  I know HUGE change, right!! lol With Love, Kiah
