Last to Know

There's something gratifying about being the first to know or just being in the know. And there's that stupid feeling when you're the last to know something.  By the header of this post you know I'm feeling rather daft. Lol

Came across the blog Style Pantry yesterday while browsing some others and was flabbergasted I'd never heard about it yet. The blog is frickin' amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, maybe I overdid it on the exclamation marks but I fell completely in love the minute the page loaded.  I'm a very visual person so the graphics and layout were pleasing to the eyes.  Then I immediately hit the 'My Style' tab and fell in love all over again. Folake Kuye Huntoon's style is ridiculously incredible and inspiring.  I could go on and on about her sense of style because I did have a style-orgasm while looking at her pics but there's something else I wanna tell ya...

Remember the reason I started this blog?  If you thought this blog was about my personal style, it really isn't.  In case you missed it, I talked about it here.  And if you're too lazy to click, in a nutshell, I'll be working with a group of women who want help with their style and I'll be documenting the journey.

Today I'm up bright and early to head to Delle's house (met her and the other women here).  It's been long overdue and I'm so excited to finally get the process started.  Had no idea how difficult it would be coordinating everyone's schedules but it was well worth the wait.

Here's to getting the Get Julu'd project going!



Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!  And which one of you knew about Style Pantry and didn't tell me?!!

My Weekend in Style

Just a quick look at my outfits I wore this weekend, including today.


Friday
Went to my sister's graduation which was the perfect time for me to pull out my Zara caftan I mentioned some time ago. Belted it to create a waistline and also to make it short; it fit just above my knee and I like my dresses short. ;-)

Dress: Zara  Shoes: Steve Madden  Earrings: Vintage  Ring & Sunnies: F21  Cuff: sister's

Chopped and Shoes

Here's yet another edition of chopped photos. Just love those don't you? =P  I'll work on that over the summer, I swear.

Anywho...

It's been ridiculously hot in NYC this past week and it seems the summertime weather is here to stay.  Needless to say, I've traded in all my winter jeans for my favorite summer staples: shorts! I usually buy them in a khaki material just because they keep me cooler than denim shorts do. And after months of wearing denim, do I really need to wear more in the summer? Linen's also another pant favorite during the summer.

These photos are from last Thursday and Saturday respectively.

Vest, Rings & Belt: H&M  Top: Old Navy  Earrings: Yumnah Najah
