'How Now, A Rat?'

I've been loving the nasty heat NYC is known for but going down in the subway is a whole other thing. The air is so thick, you can cut it...I swear, it's as hot as hades down there...not the ideal place to take blog photos. But as I liked my outfit and had a willing photographer, I said what the hells!  (And each time the train rolled by, we got a nice gust of smelly, small debris filled, coolish wind to make it a bit more bearable).

REEEEALLY wanted the YSL Tributes (seen here) but unfortunately, I can't get them this summer due to some unforeseen events. However, I will have them on my feet by next spring!  In the meantime, I satiated my need for super tall platforms with these close lookalikes from Zara.

I kinda like the 14th street subway stop on the E line. The little statues are so whimsical, and they're littered all about and in the most unusual places.  Lovely little waste of taxpayer money and quite the diversion from the furry little guys that roam the tracks looking for something to munch on :) 

Wear your shirt dresses beneath your mini's ladies! The hem line is brilliant sticking out from beneath!

'Black White, Foul Fair'

I really try to stay away from black and white outfits solely because I wore the combo to death (along with all shades of grey) back in the day.  Now, I really try to embrace colors but every now and then, I dapple in a little black and white.  Oh, and I threw in the scarf for a little bit of punch.

 

This laugh is pretty much what I did when I got off the plane from heat and humidity of Miami and was hit with a blast of cold NY wind!  Couldn't freakin believe it!!  At the risk of sounding redundant, CAN WINTER PULEASE GO AWAY!!!

What is the first thing you guys are going to do when the weather warms up?

Would like to say a HUGE thank you to a new found blogger Alex from Of Mice and Minutiae (isn't that the best blog title?)  Anyhoo, she nominated me for the Stylish Blogger Award.  Her style is super quirky, super funky and just super cool!  So ladies check her out and please show her some love if you're not already following her!
