Nubia's Nonsense: hats

Hello Nubians,

I flew from Vegas and visited New York a few days ago to work on a few things and visit friends and family. It was interesting going back since I hadn't been there in a few months... it was a bittersweet feeling. An extremely nice mix of emotions ran through me when it came to seeing some familiar faces. NY will always be my home no matter where in the world I travel and truth be told I feel very lucky and fortunate to be able to say that. There's just something in the air.

Below is a few photos from a night out I had with my girlfriends Mary, Pam and Theresa, cheers!

Pre-gaming before the night starts is always fun and a good idea to enjoy your ride and get a few extra laughs (If you're not driving of course.) A nice cold Foster's and some FIREBALL's were refreshing libations.

Mary, Theresa and Me.

What has everyone been up to?

Hello Nubians,

I Love To Support Independent Designers.

The Fall season will have you going into your closet and digging up your beanies in no time. Beanies are ALWAYS popular during Fall/Winter. They're stylish and some come with pretty awesome embellishments such as sequins, bows, and other cool brooches or patterns.

If you're looking to add some new beanies to your collection, you know... something a little unique that you won't see on random strangers in the street, you should head over to shopglamarous.com.

Below I made this little collage to show you some of my favorites.

The first one (Hot Pink Crown Beanie) is actually my favorite! You can't see it in the photo very clearly, but it's a blinged out crown and will be your statement piece of the season. Seriously I'm not even exaggerating when I say it's the kind of piece you save to hand down to your future children (quality stuff).

Anyway, beanies for me are such a Fall essential so I thought I'd share these. What's your must have item for the Fall Season?

Hello Nubians,

'Tis important to enjoy the NYC weather before it become brick city! You know, those days when you can throw on a nice oversized sweater and go and not need a million layers on to survive.

I'm not a fan of Winter but I'm a fan or what the transition to the season brings out in me. Lately for some reason I've been burning a lot of candles... eucalyptus, gingerbread, cinnamon, peppermint, so many delicious smells! I've also been drinking a lot of matcha green tea which I might make a post about later. This traditional green tea has great health benefits.

'Es importante disfrutar el clima de Nueva York antes de que se convierta en la ciudad del ladrillo! (super frío!) Ya sabes, esos días en que usted puedes ponerte un bonito suéter de gran tamaño y no necesita un millón de capas para sobrevivir.

No soy un fan de invierno, pero soy un fan de la transición a la temporada. Últimamente, por alguna razón he estado quemando un montón de velas ... eucalipto, jengibre, canela, menta, tantos olores deliciosos! También he estado bebiendo mucho té verde matcha. Este té verde tradicional tiene grandes beneficios para la salud.

On this day I decided to wear boot cut jeans. combat boots with a heel and a nice oversized sweater. The jeans were a bit loose purposely because I felt like wearing something comfortable and not too fitted. I through on the red hat last to kind of make the outfit pop.

En este día decidí usar los pantalones jeans y unas botas estilo militar con taco. Los jeans me quedan un poco flojos intencionalmente porque quería sentirme cómoda y que no me quedaran demasiado ajustados. El sombrero rojo me parecio bien bonito y era la pienza que mas resalto en el conjunto.

Wearing: Levis Jeans, H&M sweater, combat boots, Vintage purse, H&M hat.

Makeup: Wearing Wet 'n Wild brow kit, Revlon Matte -“Really Red", Victoria's Secret St Barts bronzer, Sephora Outrageous volume mascara.

Hope you're all enjoying your transition into Winter too and getting ready for Thanksgiving next week, gobble gobble. Cheers!

Espero que todos están disfrutando de su transición al invierno también y preparándose para la próxima semana para acción de gracias (el dia del pavo.) ¡Salud!

Hello Nubians,

“And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been”
-Rainer Maria Rilke

Happy New Year! I've enjoyed the holiday break a bit too much I fear, time to jump back on the saddle and blog my little heart away.

New Years are always encouraging. You almost feel like you get a fresh new start! I'm crazy exciting about the New Year. I have so many goals I want to reach and it gives me this funny feeling in my chest like I'm about to explode! I think for those of you who haven't done this already, You should make a list of goals and prioritize them to what makes the most sense to tackle first... hang it up on your wall so you don't forget about it... Make an inspiration board!

I've been thinking about my style for the New Year. It's definitely going to be altered a bit and I'm looking forward to being inspired by the streets, magazines, nature and life in general. I put together this little collage displaying trends I favor now and thinking a bit toward the future/Spring time.

A few days ago I walked into a store in Times Square and picked up these cute little snap backs. I'm hoping to eventually pair them up with a dope pair of heels, faux fur, skinny jeans, a leather jacket, in order to give the hats a more urban/chic-edgy appeal.
