I am so excited about tomorrow's event at the shop with Virgie Tovar. She will be reading from her book, Hot & Heavy: Fat Fierce Girls on Life, Love and Fashion and having a fat girl pop-up shop from her fabulous wardrobe. I want to share this video of her because you have to see her in action. She is so inspiring for body positivity and self love so please check her out and the event tomorrow evening. She dropped off her items that will be for sale tomorrow at her Fat Girl Pop-up Shop and I already have my eye on some pieces!! Please come by and support!

The Scroogin sisters formed ESG, which stands for Emerald, Sapphire and Gold in 1978. They were way before their time and nowadays musicians are sampling their baselines and beats because they were sooo dope in the late 70's and early 80's! Their mother bought them instruments so that her teenage daughters would stay out of trouble while she was at work. Did I mention they are self taugh?? I love to discover folks who represent where they are from and ESG so happens to be from the Boogiedown Bronx just like me! I was introduced to ESG from a music obsessed friend and am glad they are part of my music library along with being one of my all time favorites. Here is a link to an interview with one of the Scroogin sisters, Renee from ESG on Sfstation. Enjoy the video below of one of their performances! ESG makes me want to DANCE, DANCE, DANCE! Let me know what you think! top: vintage OLD NAVY skirt: thrifted kicks: VANS earrings: vintage H&M I love being creative with my outfits.
I love that I don't wear jeans and a t-shirt to work everyday. I like being girly and wearing dresses and skirts. This is one of my favorite shirts that I've had forever from OLD NAVY. I love that it has a Peter Pan collar and polk-a-dots, two of my favorite things. This outfit makes me feel so pretty. I hope you enjoy it! Life is so unreal right now. I wanted to share this new video of me and my shop made by Taylor Mosley of Spectra SF. I tried watching the video on my phone while at work but the connection is so wishy washy. So when I got home for the day it all hit me. I cued up the video, to watch it, yet again because it is so unbelievable... I am so proud because I never thought this would be me. Thank the goddess for editing because I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nervous! I got all insecure and kept second guessing myself, I kept saying,"Is this ok?" but then I started acting normal...or like my real self again. It's so weird I thought I needed to be a certain way...I wanted it to be perfect...Virgo tendencies. I finally relaxed and realized I was in safe company and forgot the camera was there. My favorite part is when I'm clapping for the model, Ingrid when she did a spin...lol! I am so thankful and it is a great addition to the video my boo did! They are so different and I just enjoy the different point-of-views of both directors! ;) Enjoy!
Here is a link to the video...trying to figure out how to post it here. :) http://vimeo.com/32930998 |
