Ladies, behold;
I have found the Summer Sandal.


Surface To Air brown leather buckle sandals with a 3 1/2" wedged heel. Ack. $360.00 Here.






Would go super cute with this shirt-dress, right?
Sidebar: This was almost my take home prize at American Apparel the other day. And then I peeped the $62.00 price tag. I've been thinking about it ever since. Guess you know what that means.

Change IV a Dollar

My birthday is fast approaching.
The big 2,1.

I went shopping at American Apparel the other day with my big sister and came across a dress that she found laughable, upon first glance, and I found--intriguing.

and I bought it.


It fits me better, I assure you.

So, shoe suggestions? Post links!

Kanye West feat. Jeezy- Amazing.

I [do] enjoy this track. Although, if my opinion mattered in the "single-choosing" process, I would've chosen a different track. Perhaps Say You Will or Street Lights. Meh. What do I know?

I love me some Common.

Two Cents

Alright.
I'm kicking off another new segment, here, on Out of Context.

Two Cents.

It's basically me giving my two cents' on a given subject or topic. Pretty self-explanatory.
Here we go.

Gentleman:

YES:

A cowl neck pull over sweatshirt in a solid color.

A basic multi-color zip up sweatshirt.

An unconventional approach to the zip up, substituted with button closures.
NO:

Okay, so here's the thing.

I have these shoes.
Well, they're not just shoes. They're black, Guess by Marciano peep toe mary jane pumps with textured leather, with a 4 1/2" heel and a 1/2" hidden platform. Needless to say, they're magnificent. They look a little something like this:


Minus the red suede, and with a slightly higher ankle strap.

Here's the sad part: they're dying. I could've just as easily taken a picture of them to show you the damage but I'm sure you'd like to keep down your dinner and I'd like to keep my dignity.

It is a virtual certainty that, if nothing else, a woman must own a pair of black pumps; one may even go as far as to specify a black stiletto. Now, with that said, any dollar amount may be spent on said black stiletto's because they are again, a virtual certainty.
Trust me, I'm a doctor.

So, in the forthcoming list of prospective purchases, don't concern yourself so much with the prices as you do the GLORY.

Forget about you yesterday?
Of course I didn't.

Backstory:
I have a friend.
His name is Sean.
But you can call him Big Sean. I actually think he'd prefer it.
He raps.
He just so happens to be signed with G.O.O.D Music.
He, also, just released his second mixtape last night, "U Know Big Sean".

Goddd. Who makes this shirt??

People often say if one was to have known then all that they know now, they would've done a lot of things differently. I say:
