So Brooklyn!

   The years I spent living in Brooklyn are the ones that truly shaped me. So without a doubt I had to do a post in honor of my 2nd home; Brooklyn. There's something quite prideful about being a Brooklynite. Ask a Brooklynite where they're from and with oozing pride they'll respond "Brooklyn!". I enjoyed the culture Brooklyn offered me. It was rough and tough; in your face and straight to the point kind of culture. It's a tea that might burn too hot for the timid. But I loved it.

 Today was all about an easy breezy summer look. I wanted to bring a little layering aspect to my summer wardrobe, so I opted for these key pieces; shorts, mesh tank and a long vest. I paired the look with these awesome gladiators from UrbanOG.com. Hello!!

Summer Trend: Ripped Jeans

Ripped Jeans is one of the spring trends that you'll also be seeing a lot this summer. Seems like everyone (and their mama) is rocking the look worn by kimYe, Rihanna, Amber Rose and even pharrell williams. Here are 4 pointers on how to pull off this hot summer trend.

  1) KISS: KEEP IT STUPID SIMPLE! Ripped jeans bring a lot of detailing to an outfit, so try to keep the other items simple. They should compliment the jeans and not clash with it. If you want to make your top or shoes the focal point of your outfit then go for a jean with minimal rips.

  2) DON'T PAIR RIPPED JEANS WITH A CROP TOP: Why? It's tacky, and enough said.

3) BE MINDFUL OF WHERE THE RIPS ARE: There are a variety of ripped jeans options to choose from (Boyfriend Jeans, Cropped Jeans, and Skinny Cut). Make sure the jeans itself and the rips are flattering to your figure. For a lean look, opt for vertical rips and horizontal rips for a more curvaceous look.

 4) HAVE FUN WITH IT! Try a variety of colors and styles for confident summer looks. Also, add personal touches with accessories like big bangles and fedoras to keep your look on point.
