Tunic+Shorts+Boots=LeRoy's favorite fall outfit, SF

Here it is folks. Pretty much the best outfit to wear while riding a moped. Your cute, fashionable, and functional. If you don't happen to have a moped, that's cool. I also noticed how appropriate this 'fit is for outdoor concerts. Give it a shot...here are some different options to get you inspired:

Perfect for an outdoor Bluegrass festival:





And she's cute for cocktails and dinner with the girls:




Alright, this outfit is SO "me on Sunday with my moped record shopping":





And she is totally "date night":




This one is great for 2 reason; spandex biker shorts and quilted ankle boots:

Greek Chic



So my mom's 50th b-day is coming up and its a Greek-themed soiree. Maybe it's because Coco's sugga momma, Erin Fetherston, is my new favorite designer. Maybe it's because the metallic trend is so hot right now it could stick coal up its ass and shit out gold (wow, that pun was totally not planned!). Or maybe, just maybe, I'm really in the mood to wear a one-shoulder metallic party dress. Besides, it's hard to pull off "Greek" and not do toga a' la Animal House. I think my choice is a bit more appropriate...

But if your still not convinced about the one shoulder thing, and your in the market for a pretty party dress, this lil' number would suffice:

And while I'm on the subject, I love this metallic tunic. Paired with short jean shorts, knee high boots, and a hoodie...you got yourself my favorite outfit to wear on a moped. *stay tuned for more moped attire options*

Pair this with a long sleeved white t-shirt, skinny jeans, and some moccassins and you got yourself a cute "running errands on saturday" outfit.

And these...well these are for Coco...she hearts dickies!

Zach Galifianakis is Coco's baby's daddy

A few years back Coco and I went to a Zach Galifianakis show and ended up eating a snickers bar with him in his hotel room. Ever since, we've been in love. It seems as though he is a bit of a trendsetter himself...
first came this video:

then came this video for Fiona Apple:

then, here he is with Will Oldham for a Kanye West video...

***This will be the first in a series of posts dedicated to life in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a neighborhood that never ceases to fascinate me***

On a hot July day in Brooklyn, I was so excited to find that hipsters have taken on yet another senior citizen trend: Sun umbrellas

I Just Bought a Moped...Chicago, IL

LeRoy here. Thanks to my BF, brother, and father I know a little more than I'd like to about mopeds. All I am trying to do is look cute on mine...knowhatimsayin? If you dont already know, a moped is a cross between a scooter and a bike and they are pretty bad ass. With their cult following, rallies across the US, and endless ways to customize, no derr these things are so popular.
Here is a video made by some "gang" members in Chicago...yes, moped enthusiasts join gangs...just when you thought it couldn't get more awesome, they gone and done did it...

Juliette & the Licks

Being an avid fan of stage presence, it's not a shocker that i think this band is pretty cool. More importantly, it's how Juliette Lewis dresses on stage that really gets me going.

t-time, nyc, july.07

If you have ever paid a visit to my closet, you've probably come to a couple conclusions:

1. She needs a bigger closet
2. Homegirl likes shoes

It's true, there is a very big place in my heart for shoes of all shapes, sizes, creeds and colors. But an especially large part of that place in my heart is devoted to the t-strap. In my opinion this style originated in ballroom dancing, or at least that is what I fantasize about while riding the subway to work in my green toe-cleavy t-straps. They are sweet, sexy and they really keep you strapped in.

These beauties by FS/NY will be available soon...
