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! xo Kosi
DC Nation is keeping up with the Batman revamp in releasing a new cartoon series: "Beware the Batman". The new CGI series premieres July 13 10 a.m. ET/PT as part of Cartoon Network's DC Nation programming block.
The show is mixing modern and classic; Batman's loyal butler Alfred is an ex-secret agent (I know we'll see about that one), and the superheroine Katana is retooled as swordswoman and Alfred's goddaughter. Instead of battling villains like The Joker and Catwoman, Batman faces the twisted machinations of Gotham City’s criminal underworld led by the likes of Anarky, Professor Pyg, Mister Toad and Magpie.
I'll be honest I was skeptical at first as I see the cartoons my nephews watch now that have CGI, they are fooled at times by the visuals ha ha. I hold my tongue in wanting to tell them: "In my day there was storytelling in cartoons!"
Beware the Batman Trailer
The visuals for the new show look great, I hope the storytelling is compelling as my beloved Batman The Animated Series. I remember I would rush home from school to watch it by 4pm lol. Here are a few of my favorite images from the show and the opening:

I went bananas when I spotted this Blue Life dress a few weeks ago on Planet Blue's website. It's has the most practical cut-out back and is the perfect length. Not too long, but not too short, just right if I decide to wear flats or my favorite sandals! I decided to take the dress out for a spin on a visit to The High Line.The High Line is a 1-mile New York City linear park built on a section of the former elevated New York Central Railroad spur called the West Side Line, which runs along the lower west side of Manhattan. It was great to walk around, take in the breeze, and get some "me" time. Hope everyone has a safe 4th of July weekend, next week is busy busy, we are doing a new launch for QUINN which I will talk more about in the weeks to come! xo Kosi
How SICK are these tees from Pierre Balmain? Pierre Balmain is the diffusion line from fashion house Balmain. There are recognizable design features of Balmain—luxe, rock 'n' roll, and understated-urbane cool. The faded graphics and boxy tee shirt body styles show a whimsical side of the Balmain brand.
These Italian imported jersey tees retail for under $200 on Shopbop & Zappos Couture! Italian imported jersey is super luxe and one of the finest jerseys in the market, I own a tee that is Italian jersey that I had for 5 years now. LOL for the rest of us, I found alternatives until there is a sample sale:
Hey guys! Hope everyone is having a productive week, work is busy as I am getting editor requests for fall and doing prep for the next 6 months all exciting stuff! My morning routine usually consists of follow up emails, reading the latest from Women's Wear Daily, and a new fav of mine: nyc PR Girls:
The about for nyc PR girls is self explanatory, the advice that Adrianna and Meg give is very helpful, motivating and positive. The website feels like one big support group for PR professionals like myself, and a learning tool for anyone considering a career public relations. Below is the most recent post for growing a thick skin:
It is great to see a blog that gives life lessons that can be used in any career! Thank you Adrianna & Meg for having such an insightful site! Be a fan of nyc PR girls on facebook here. xo Kosi
Hey guys, sorry I've been somewhat MIA this past week.Mmmm, Monday is here! The weekend goes by way too quickly! I wore this outfit last Thursday, no special occasion just felt like dressing up as it was beautiful NYC weather!
I love this color block dress from QI! Color blocking is one of the top trends for 2013. This trend has been around for many years, except now the colors are more vibrant and bold.
The key to color blocking is pairing solid color pieces together. As you can see the neutral colors in this Qi dress compliment my pink scarf! Photography by Steve Zak
I am finding my pucci scarf my savior during bad hair days! It adds an extra umph to any outfit :) I hope everyone is having an awesome June, can you believe it's the last week already? Time flies! If you are in NYC, stop by my job's store QUINN where you can purchase the colorblock dress I am wearing! QUINN is located on 181 Orchard Street between E. Houston and Stanton :) Follow QUINN on facebook here and on Instagram @QUINNNYC. xo Kosi
Felt like throwing some inspiration your way this morning featuring two of my favorite models Joan Smalls and Liya Kebede. LOL I had to add in this awesome Catwoman sketch too! These shots got me inspired to experiment, laugh a lot, and explore this summer and beyond! White dresses, leather accessories, chained jersey dresses, flowers, and wild hair. The images are badass mixed with sophistication! Have a great weekend! xo Kosi
