Blame It On The Rain

How was the weekend for everyone? Mines was great starting off Friday with awesome friend's (flip cup anyone?) and celebrating my mom's birthday on Saturday. A very busy weekend indeed!

My initial shoot was rained out :( 

Me being the determined gal that I am, I decided to brave the elements (thanks mom for taking the pics):

Muubaa Leather Jacket

Ainsley Top, Lovers + Friend's flower chiffon skirt, Nine West Peep Toe Shoe

Rain or or no rain, I'll shine! Can't wait to snap pictures when the weather is nicer! Stay tuned guys and thank you for all your support!

Room to Grow

I'm putting the petal to the metal for the next outfit post he he, pics on Monday!

I feel more inspired/more creative than ever before! I know a lot of it comes from letting go my fear of failure. I wanted to share this quote with all of you:

LIVE IT, LEARN IT, LOVE IT!

Have a great weekend guys!

Avenger Tuesdays: Volume 2

Volume 2 of Avenger Tuesday's are here! Just two more weeks until the movie debuts! Are we excited?

The Etsy item of the week relating to The Avengers is a dog tag necklace paying tribute to  S.H.I.E.L.D. For those not familiar with S.H.I.E.L.D and how it relates to The Avengers, please click on the S.H.I.E.L.D link for a background story:

The necklace is also under $10! I did this on purpose in honor of tax day (US Government are crooks that all I'm going to say about that) Let's just say I turned into The Hulk for a few minutes when I found how much much I owed lol

HULK SMASH TAXES!

In other Avengers news, the LA premiere was a few days ago, wanted to share a few pictures:

The man, The myth, The legend: Stan Lee!

The female stars of The Avengers, Cobie Smulders and Scarlett Johansson-(They play Maria Hill & Black Widow)

Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson-(Thor, Captain America and Black Widow)

Nightie Night

Having a secret identity was rough in the past. 


For example, Lois Lane’s forever trying to out Clark Kent. Diana Prince  aka Wonder-woman constantly has to worry about stodgy military types. And Batman never knows when a scorned Catwoman was going to blow his cover as Bruce Wayne.


Good thing in 2012, I don't have it so bad...... I'm a tomboy with a feminine side who is into her fashion, scifi, comic books, and old skool video games. I also have a thing for intimates too (GASP! Yes I do!) . 


I just snagged the following from Victoria's Secret last week. I think you guys would agree each set is perfect for my dual identities:

Satin and lace babydoll set

Satin leopard romper (unfortunately sold out guys) 

As you can see, what stays constant with me with intimates is lace!

Avengers Assemble!

Hey guys

Every tuesday till The Avengers movie release will be dedicated to The Avengers:)

The trailer is MAJOR

I have been a fan of the Avengers since I was a child since my brothers would let me read their comic books. The products that I will be highlighting will be from etsy.com/. I never get tired of this site, members who sell their products on Esty are so talented!


The products on Esty that feature the Avengers, (there are dozens FYI) shows the real essence of what a true FAN is.


The first product I'm highlighting is for gals & gals from Esty seller Fanboy:

Custom Glass

Second item is for the gals from seller: BajuesBest, I'm getting this end of the week as I have been in search of a denim vest. Why not incorporate my love for comic books? I love this one the most because it does include Wolverine (some of you put whim with X-men but he is now with the Avengers)

Side-note, if anyone is looking for a new read, pick up Avengers vs. Xmen, you can buy at the a comic book store or download on the Marvel app.

As a fan of both Avengers & Xmen it is a great read, but I have to admit I feel like I am in a weird love triangle of who exactly to root for (spoiler: Phoenix is making a comeback)


See you next Tuesday! Avengers Assemble!

Jump for Joy

Jumpsuits always made me think of Elivis or vintage JLo (seriously remember the denim jumpsuit and the Timberland high heels smh bad fashion) I would flashback to the celebrity-impersonator classmates who roamed the my high school/college halls in bedazzled one-piece wonders.

I found my happy medium with this jumpsuit

(From Marshall's! Yes, Marshall's thanks mom!) 

I wore it last Tuesday meeting the lovely Candy Washington at Tribeca Grand's annual TECHTUESDAYS, this week it was sponsored by Instagram.

Me and Candy enjoying a drink

Where do you find your happy fashion medium? Do tell!

Va Va Voom: Suiting Up For Summer

It is never to late to think about summer, this weekend gave in my vacation time at work. I am so looking forward to a vacay this summer with my dearest friend's. Cool and confident times ahead for Kosi!

I treated myself in February to a new bikini using a Shopbop credit I had, I will definitely be rocking it in future posts. Mara Hoffman makes the best bikini's it is worth the investment!

 

The bikini reminded me of this vintage picture. It is one of my favs for a few reasons:

1) The models are gorgeous

2) They are curvy like me

3) They look so happy and confident

It is never to early to plan for a great time or coordinate the outfits you will wear as well, does anyone have any upcoming plans they want to share? 

xoxo
