gold tones





watch: graduation gift
diamond band: valentine's gift
gold/garnet ring: gift from dad
gold knuckle ring: recent gift :-)










very laid back dinner at country in the carlton hotel--they gave me my very own candle as it got a bit too 'intimate' (read: dark) in the room--, followed by drinks at raines law room, rounded out by a very long subway ride. :-(. damn outerborough living. *sigh*. i managed to contain my hair for the photo, but it was a little too dark to actually make an impression. it's always really interesting the looks people give me when i'm out in a place that defies my age/race/cultural appearance. an older white couple seemed to have quite a bit of difficulty not staring, lol.
i love this shirt and it's giant pocket.

clover club




wore this to work then out to drinks and then dinner at the clover club. which is AMAZING by the way. it's like going back to a simpler era, where folks can sip drinks, unwind, listen to bluesy crooners in brogues and suspenders, and just mellow out. okay, so it was brooklyn, but seriously, what's not to love about this place?








this car=pure spiffiness. what i wouldn't do to ride around in that. driver's seat of course.



shirt dress: j crew
