Doll
My middle name was given to me after my late Grandmother, Dorothy. Back in the day common names came along with a common nickname. Dorothy has two, Dot and Doll. Convieniently my small facial features and petite frame makes me appear like a Doll as well. Emphasizing the name doll means more than looking like a baby doll, In so many ways the name helps me identify with a woman I share DNA, one I never met. The Doll (Dorothy) I was named after. As a child I despised my name because everyone else had a cool nickname like angel, or laila, and I was Dorothy. But Since I was 17 I have been compelled more and more to this nickname of mine No one had to give me, A nickname I was given the moment they added Dorothy to the middle. I wonder sometimes If she was anything like me, If some where Inside of her she had a sassy attitude she just could not hide.
Dark Hues & Leopard....
When Living in Florida it is more than necessary to know the weather Hour by Hour. The Frightening 50 degrees at 7am lead many to layer up, when the temperature rose to 77 in less than an hour. Luckily I pray for wisdom at night, and was already two steps ahead of the game. Today I decided to pair black on black. The combination demands attention, I love it. But i can never just settle for All black everything, I decided to finally embrace the beloved and trending Leopard print. Pinned on the side is a Leopard print bow that was given to me as a gift from my Neice. And if you didnt catch on by now Purple is my favorite color. Purple is also a dark yet eye-catching hue that stands out during the fall. I couldnt Help but dare to be different and finish my ensemble with woody brown colored ankle boots. Earrings are another piece from the Bunker...NO BOYS ALLOWED shopnoboys.com

11.10.11 All American Bad A**
So yesterday I picked up a few November Issues, "In Style" and "NYLON" which I love so dearly. Magazines are very intimate to me Its more like a diary then style reports in my opinion. Taking my time out to read several articles, and summarize them (im a journalism major),I stumbled over an article in Nylon about American Fashion. Designers such as betsy johnson and Ralph Lauren were Interviewed and their response to what is American fashion was very similiar. The sporty dominance of american fashion is usaully described as bland but in that very moment another word surfaced, BADASS! So Here Goes Nothing
Leather Jacket: Forever XXI, American Flag Tee: Love Culture, Denim Jeans: Forever XXI

That Girl x Stevie Wonder
Most people would sum up the way i dress in one word DIFFERENT. In my opinion I just fail to follow the rules everyone else was notified about, that list slipped pass me. When I woke up this morning "That Girl" by stevie wonder was playing over and over in my head. So i decided to play the old school tune that inspired every choice of clothing i wore today. "That Girl thinks that she's soo bad... She says she keeps the upper hand" I felt compelled to where something printed, something floral. The music gave life to a vibrant feel. Maybe everything that makes me who I am was something so commonly found in the 80s. Well here goes nothing Guys....That Girl lead me to this girl....
