Fringe is the New Black

Kind of a long post, but there was definitely a lot of inspirational visuals at the Shinecock Nation Indian Pow Wow I went to in Southampton this weekend.

A Native American woman, her children and myself at the pow wow.  Their outfits were so colorful and beautiful.  

My friends and I with an Aztec dancer.  His outfit was unbelievable...scary and beautiful all in one.

A shot of his feathered headdress from the side.  Unbelievable!!

Shots of Native American traditional garb.

This guys boots were sooo cool.  I had to get a shot and I also really want a pair for myself!! ha ha  

Carved animal necklace created by one of the vendors at the pow wow, Norma Jean Locklear (910-733-0187).  My friend bought a very similar one, which I think could make for a very unique boho look.

My loot from the pow wow, turquoise beaded barrette and stainless steal beaded earrings.  You can't really tell from the photo but these curve around your ear in a very cool and sophisticated way.  Not sure of the designer of these.

After leaving the pow wow we stopped by downtown Southampton to grab some diner.  Above is a cute sidewalk cafe.

In the entry way to the Ralph Lauren Home Store on Job St.  This store was so clean and airy.  I'm wearing a cheapy jewel green shirt from F21 with a woven belt from Anthropologie, my American Apparel denim running shorts, Steve Madden fringe flats, Rebecca Minkoff handbag and Mui Mui shades.

Close up on the Anthro belt.

Also wore this indian head ring I picked up from a street vendor on St. Marks Places this spring.

Stud

Quick outfit post after dinner at one of my favorite Mexican food/margarita spots in the city.

Wearing a cream tissue tee with bronze studs from H&M, with American Apparel denim running shorts, Banana Republic nude heels, and Rebecca Minkoff morning after handbag.

Tried to get a close up of my bronze fire bird earring with cut out crosses in the center.  Got them from a street artisan in NYC.

Lazy Sunday

I'm having a totally lazy Sunday so I decided to post some random outfit shots.  Below I'm wearing a thrifted knit shirt, 2 necklaces I hooked together from F21, American Eagle super destroyed boyfriend jeans, Steve Madden fringe heels, and Kooba bag. www.kooba.com (Sorry some of the photos are a little fuzzy).

Close up of the knit shirt and necklaces.

Close up of the fringy heels.

After work one day.  Wearing an Issac Mizrahi striped dress with JCrew layered bauble necklace, Nine West gladiator heels, and Rebecca Minkoff handbag (my favorite handbag designer).  www.rebeccaminkoff.com

Close up of the JCrew bauble necklace and my Octo ring - love, love, love him.

A few weeks ago I went to the Isabel Toledo exhibit at F.I.T.  I wasn't allowed to take pictures inside, since I missed the press night, but her designs are amazingly inspirational!  This Cuban born, but NY based designer is now best know for creating the inauguration dress Michelle Obama wore.  This dress is on exhibit at F.I.T, however I must say several of her other pieces are the show stoppers.  She with help from her husband, Ruben Toledo, make intricate and beautiful pieces from one geometric pattern.  Truly incredible.  Catch her exhibit, Fashion From the Inside Out, at F.I.T through September 26.

Outside the exhibit, wearing a lace mini skirt from JCrew, olive tank from H&M, gold lariat necklace from H&M, Lauren Merkin cork clutch, and Nine West Gladiator sandals.

Promenade

Today my friends and I decided to check out the new promenade in the Meat Packing District.  It was a really cool walk lined with flowers and amazing views of the city and Hudson river.

Today I wore an LNA zipper pocket tee shirt with mineral wash denim running shorts from American Apparel.

I paired my outfit with these crazy cool shoes from Irregular Choice.  I love the geometric cloth heel and how unique they are.

After our walk we stopped by Los Dados, a restaurant at the bottom of the Promenade.  We had delicious and refreshing cucumber agave and blueberry margaritas and a yummy baked grapefruit (a new discovery for me).  

This piece of art was really cool.  A Juan Valdez photo made entirely out of dice!

Close up of my tie-dyed leather clutch from Urban Outfitters.  I love how it has a super tough vibe, but that the leather is buttery soft.

Also wore this hand wrapped sterling silver ring by Carmen Q today.  I love the randomness of the wrapping and how intricate it is.  www.carmenq.com

Lastly is a close up of my thorn necklace from Mignon Faget based in Louisiana.  A tough, but feminine and petite necklace. www.mignonfaget.com

Such a fun day, only interrupted for a moment by one of the craziest rain storms I've ever seen hit NYC.  It literally almost blew the door off of the Urban Outfitters I was in!  Excited to relax and catch up on TV for the rest of the night!
