Hey Nubians, 

Add A Little Sass To Your Style. 

Gorgeous and full of attitude, I think I was channeling my inner Cry-Baby's Wanda Woodward with this fashion outfit. It isn't exactly a pinup or rockabilly outfit, but I think I gave it a bit of a modern twist and mixed the look more with every day wear like my tee for example. You also have to consider the winged eye liner and kick ass faux leather jacket I'm rocking which ties back to my Wanda Woodward reference. I love encouraging fun fashion and the use of color therapy. A little bit of sassiness on top of everything doesn't hurt either. 

Hello My Beautiful Nubians,

“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” - Anne Frank


I'd love to see more beautiful women wearing head scarves... you know, in the form where it almost looks like a hoodie. This trend was pretty popular anywhere from the 1950s-1970's. The greats in my book such as Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe and more used to were their scarves like this.

Me encantaría ver más hermosas mujeres con pañuelos bonitos en la cabeza ... ya sabes, en la forma en que casi parece un hoodie. Esta tendencia fue bastante popular desde la década de 1950 -1970 . Las grandes figuras como Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe y más utilizados los pañuelos asi.

Hey Nubians,

Remember when I spoke about Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend a bit? Well one of the days I wore this really gorgeous colorful outfit. I had a few video clips on my phone and I put together for your viewing pleasure.

Hey Nubians, This was my first year attending Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend at The Orleans Hotel and Casino and I'm not going to lie, it can be a culture shock for anyone. I don't mean that in a bad way at all however, it's definitely in a good way. It's great to embrace other peoples lifestyles and to explore such a beautiful and welcoming culture with so many nice people. I felt as though it took me back to a simpler, happier time when other men and women expressed each others creativity more freely and without so much fear. I can't remember the last time I saw so many smiles in one room. And the Fashion...

 Let's just say these days sometimes fashion can be disappointing. Don't get me wrong, there's tons of great trends going on now-a-days too but I feel as though there's not as much glamour. In Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend you will see all sorts of outfits ranging from the 1920's probably till around the 1960's mainly. Women embraced their silhouette more and also their body type no matter if it's thick or thin. The prints on the dresses were divine! The embellishments, circle skirts, play suits, hair flowers, makeup, hair color, oh my goodness! There was just so much beauty. Not to mention some of the hair styles were seriously TO DIE FOR. Pin curls, bumper bangs and all sorts of craziness that I don't even know the names of. Definitely made me want to step up my hair game a bit.

I think the only thing I would change for next year if I decide to go is that I would make sure I hit up more of the main events. I didn't get to see the Jiving Competition which I heard is lovely and a pretty big deal and I didn't listen to much of the live bands either (they have so many). They also have jiving classes which I didn't take and may be fun to do next time. Anyway, enjoy some of these photos below which I pulled off my phone. I may be trying to update this post later on.

Este fue mi primer año asistiendo Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend en El New Orleans y yo no voy a mentir, puede ser un choque cultural para cualquier persona. No me refiero en el mal sentido en absoluto, sin embargo, es definitivamente en el buen sentido. Es muy bueno para abrazar otros estilos de vida de los pueblos y para explorar una cultura tan hermoso y acogedor, con tanta gente agradable. Me sentí como si me llevó de vuelta a una época más simple, más feliz cuando los demás hombres y mujeres expresan cada otros creatividad más libremente y sin tanto miedo. No puedo recordar la última vez que vi tantas sonrisas en una habitación. Y la moda ...

Digamos que en estos días a veces la moda puede ser decepcionante. No me malinterpreten, hay un montón de grandes tendencias sucediendo hoy en día también, pero me siento como si no hay como mucho glamour. En fin de semana Rockabilly Viva Las Vegas podrás ver todo tipo de trajes que van desde la década de 1920, probablemente hasta alrededor de la década de 1960, principalmente. Las mujeres se abrazaron su silueta más y también su tipo de cuerpo, no importa si es gruesa o delgada. Las impresiones en los vestidos eran divinos! Los adornos, círculo faldas, trajes, juegan las flores del pelo, el maquillaje, el color del pelo, oh Dios mío! Sólo había tanta belleza. Por no hablar de algunos de los peinados eran seriamente para morirse. Rizos pin, pegatinas flequillo y todo tipo de locura que yo ni siquiera conozco los nombres de. Definitivamente me hizo querer intensificar mi juego un poco el pelo.

Creo que la única cosa que cambiaría para el próximo año si decido ir es que me gustaría asegurarme de que golpeó hasta más de los principales eventos. No llegué a ver la Competencia Jiving que oí es encantador y una gran cosa y yo no escucho mucho de las bandas en vivo o bien (tienen tantos). También tienen clases jiving que yo no tomo y puede ser divertido para hacer la próxima vez. De todos modos, disfrutar de algunas de estas fotos debajo de la cual me sacó de mi teléfono. Yo podría estar tratando de actualizar este post más adelante.

Hello Nubians,

I wanted to share a few photos I instagram'ed within the last few days. I adore fashion, style and looks from the 1950s and 60s. In my opinion back in those days, ladies carried themselves with so much more glamour and class. The hair was better, the dresses were prettier, waists were always cinched and petite, and there was also so much cute shoes! Think about Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Bettie Paige, Brigitte Bardot, Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe and some much more! These ladies = TOTAL BETTIES.

I personally am a fan of mixing the old with the new. There are a lot of current trends that could use a sprinkle of the 1950's/60's on top to make a fun new outfit or look.

Below you'll see some photos of me in the fitting room. The photos are from a class my friend Jasmin (Vintage Vandal) taught about Retro Style and Beauty at Amberjoy's Vintage Closet, a cute shop in downtown Las Vegas. I was a model is Jasmin's class. She demonstrated a few different hairstyles on me such as pincurls, gibson rolls, victory rolls, and showed her students how to do a bumper bang using a foam foundation and much, much more. I'll keep you posted on when she does a recap on the class, it was great.

Hello Nubians,

Aren't themed parties mega fun?! A few weeks ago my friend Jasmin (@VintageVandal) invited me to "Gollo's Annual Cholo Party" at Beauty Bar in Las Vegas. It was a crazy fun experience. Everyone goes dressed in Cholo/Chola style which through the years has been mainly plaids, baggy pants, stripes, bandanas, converse sneakers, red lip stick with black liner for the ladies, oversized earrings and more.

People were getting into the theme, mingling and having a great time. Gollo is of Mexican descent and from what I've heard he enjoys throwing the party every year to celebrate and embrace his culture and his birthday with his friends at the same time. Sounds like a double win to me.

Before we headed out to beauty bar I passed by my friend Jasmin's house and she helped me get ready. I wore a classic Elvis mugshot tee with boot cut Levis denim and Jordan sneakers. Jasmin gave me these amazing bumper bangs which are popular in the pinup community and tied a red bandana in my hair. Red lips and some bamboo styled bangles with a machine gun and boom! I was ready to go with my chola inspired look and strut my stuff.

Jasmin did an amazing job giving herself a gangsta Disney princess tattoo sleeve with an Avon eyeliner! I was in awe of her ability to do it so quickly. I couldn't believe she was able to do all of that with an eye-liner and it didn't come off all night... kudos Avon.




That's all folks! Looking forward to doing this again and enjoying more events in Downtown Vegas.

P.S. If you want to see more awesome photo, check out this great album of the party by Vegas Torch HERE. 

Hello Nubians,


"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." -Martin Luther King, Jr.

As some of you may know, I'm living in the West Coast for a while in Las Vegas. It was a fun move and I'm excited for the new business ventures and possibilities that have been coming my way. I was born and raised in NY and I think a big mistake people make in their lives is getting too comfortable! Moving could be scary but sometimes you have to take a leap of faith.

The last few days besides getting work done, I've been walking around and getting to know the town a bit.


I wanted to be comfortable but look cute (duh). Above I'm wearing a pair of Levi Jeans paired with cute little bow flats from Express clothing. I picked the top up at a random boutique and I don't recall the name right now but how rad is it?! I have a thing for lion, tigers, and cheetahs on clothing, the fact that it's colorful makes me enjoy it even more.

I styled my hair in a fancy little side braid because it's hot as hell out here and it's easy to put together... there's a lot of elegance in a braid.


I was starving the other day and bumped into Earl of Sandwich which I used to love to eat in connecticut. I'm not sure what I enjoy more, the sandwich or the golden wrapper. Presentation is everything.


I received this girl in the mail a few days ago. Love this Mint Julep Lip Butter by the Soap and Paper Factory. When you open it up there's a little mirror inside. It makes my lips feel so soft and moisturized so it def comes in handy with the heat here. A bonus to the lip butter is that I love the packaging as well! I mean seriously gals, How cute is it?!





Above is an outfit I wore on a weekend out. It's a very... Sweet Valley Weekend inspired look.
