Right now I am very into the sporty look for summer. This is my definition of smart dressing especially when running around in the NYC heat! I have been living in these jersey harem pants from QUINN, a few years ago I was very hesitatnt to purchase a harem pant mainly because I didn't know how flattering it would be on me. The ones from QUINN are just right they drape at the right places and highlight my most important assets, pair with a nice heel and you are good to go, ha!

Red is also becoming one of my favorite colors to wear, I died when I discovered the Freedom Tank, from Isabel Marant's diffusion line: Etoile. I have worn that a few times as well, I love that it is so versatile I can wear to work and a night out with friend's!

Speaking of a night out, it's the weekend! What are everyone's plans? For me, it is going to be sleep lol and catching up with friends.

Have a great weekend!

NYC has been a typhoon this week! It's been non-stop working (on very exciting projects), and clutching my umbrella staying dry haha! Personally, I have a love/hate relationship with the NYC rain, the air is so fresh you just want to go to sleep...it is the best sleep, but it sucks when you have deadlines, ha ha! The rain made me turn to casual pieces in my wardrobe... which leads to my Ainsley perforated shirt from the QUINN LES store, my leather baseball cap, and sneakers!  Yes I do wear sneakers lol! I managed to run outside when there was just a little drizzle and snap some pics! 

Thank you all for the support the past few weeks! If you are in NYC, stop by my job's store QUINN  on 181 Orchard Street between E. Houston and Stanton :) Follow us on facebook here and on Instagram @QUINNNYC. 

I am looking forward to having the weekend to relax and celebrate father's day with my family. I hope you all do the same, have a great weekend!

On The Ball: Sporty Dressing

In the fashion world, the word "sporty" doesn't necessarily have the most stylish connotation usually.  Visions of baggy athletic shorts, shelf-bra tanks, and sweatproof sunblock invaded my mind years ago. It is great to see designers 
embrace the word "sporty".

In NYC 2013, the word "sporty" was also given a new definition due to NYC basketball, it is very exciting to watch! I never seen so many female fans interested in basketball! Weather you are a NY Knicks fan or Brooklyn Nets fan, I think we can all agree being "sporty" is playing in a whole new court.

I am very excited to be going to my first Knicks game this Friday at Madison Square Garden (yep I'm a Knicks fan, I thank my brother Nei for that). I always liked basketball even wore a few jersey's in junior high school and played a few weeks in my junior high school's female basketball team. 

I had to figure out what to wear for Friday's game, it's major on so many levels: 1st game, and the Knicks are playing the Chicago Bulls. The last game was intense (google it people). I was happy to see other brands/websites embrace the sporty revolution in fashion.   Sporty no longer referrs to the Jane-Fonda-legwarmers of years past. Thanks to subtle infusions of color and surprising pairing of unlikely materials like leather and suede, the results are a ramped-up, stylish look. My style is eclectic but chic, mixing a leather hat with an oversize orange tank, grey sweats, and pumps? Looks divine, I must say!

The board represents my interpretation of sporty, I tend to focus more on color than the actual silhouette adding accents such as a leather cap for me is a must to keep it fresh and modern!

Have you guys embrace the sporty revolution, how do you make it your own?
