This print jumpsuit from Mango has been a favorite ever since I wore it to NYFW Day 2. This day was my 2nd time wearing it and for Fall I layered it with a H&M blazer and later in the day; an Old Navy leopard coat. Shoes play such a major role in any look. They are powerful pieces! I wanted to show a fun day-to-night look just by changing from flats to heels. These brogues above are from Forever 21 and are my favorite flats! I love the shape and the vibrant pop of print. To accompany the look, I piled on tribal print bangles that I got at a small NJ store. Funny story about these bangles- I had lunch with my friend Julee Wilson, Style and Beauty Editor of Huffington Post Black Voices the other day and we showed up wearing the same bangles! But…She got hers while in South Africa for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week! Ha! We had a good laugh about that : ) The other ivory and brown bangle I’m wearing is from Forever 21. My “Black Girl” necklace is from Peace Images. Check out their online store. It’s full of such creative jewelry! I layered on one of my favorite silver necklaces from a thrift store. These sunglasses are from Urban Outfitters! One of my fav colors is gray. I think its sexy and chic. This turban has been a favorite as of late. It is a hand dyed silk scarf from Shimmer & Bliss! My Juicy Couture bag is a recent gift from my mentor (who I also style!), the amazing Constance White. I love her : )

Later at the playground…

I changed into my YSL booties and layered on an Old Navy coat!

My booties covered in a bit of playground dirt.

I love shooting in unexpected places, especially a playground full of kids. I love the juxtaposition of fashion and fun. And how cool was the Joy dish detergent in the background of the 3rd pic? Adore!
