[Vanity Fair] A Winter Safari in AKA New York

AKA New York Safari Romper (worn as a top), American Apparel Multi-Layered Reversible Petticoat, YSL Tribute Platform Pumps, Henri Bendel Bracelet, and Michael Kors Watch.

I absolutely love my AKA New York Safari Romper but wearing a silk onesie during the fall/winter months would be grounds for my committal to an asylum. So, I did what any young woman, desperate to continue wearing her favorite spring/summer piece (within some measure of reason) would do; I layered. I paired the romper with opaque tights and placed a petticoat over-top the bottom half of the romper, concealing the shorts. And as luck would have it, the sleeves on the romper can be adjusted to wrist length. Granted, my look is nowhere near "on trend," but you know I don't care about that. I just care about my romper seeing the light of day before April 2012.

My friends up north wish it were that warm. I'm currently on vacation in Florida, soaking up as much sun as humanly possible. I mean, can you blame me? I'm a recent law school graduate, who is unemployed and miserable. 

I vow to only do outfit posts on what I actually wear. I really can't stand fashion blogger fame and dressing up just to have my picture taken. So if I'm wearing something you like (or dislike) trust that it is actually apart of my "personal style," whatever nebulous thing that is...

[Lights Out] Happy Birthday to Me

I apologize for my absence. I've been busy trying to sort out my life but not too busy to enjoy my birthday dinner with some close girlfriends. We enjoyed a wonderful meal Cipriani Downtown. Lauren has dined at Cipriani many times, so we had a wonderful selection appetizers, entrees and deserts. Above is an image of my entree, the sea bass. I highly recommend it.

I'm usual known for wearing the uniform on a daily basis, I decided to dress up a bit with an AKA blouse, Pleasure Doing Business bandage skirt, Rachel Leigh necklace and Prada leopard animal fur heels. I was affectionately known for the evening as the "black Kardashian." 

After dinner, we grabbed a table at The Soho Grand and enjoyed a bottle of my favorite champagne, Veuve Clicquot, while we danced the night away. Eventually, we found ourselves on the LES and in the middle of a major rainstorm but overall, I had a really enjoyable night. Although friends may come and go like seasons, I feel very thankful for those who are ever-present in my life.
