Bad Ass!

Hey all...

It's been a bit over a week & I haven't posted anything... bad blogger... I've really wanted to but just haven't. It shouldn't ever be more than a week- forgive me?

For some reason, I'm loving black clothes right now. Anything with studs that's black is even better. Rhianna has really made a huge impact on making my inner rockstar coming out.


This bustier is hot- really hot. The insets are lace, which channels my inner Appolonia. It looks a bit like a dress and those studs!!! Asos.com- $63.83. This says "sexy bad ass" with


... some leggings. "Liquid leggings" are the best in leggings. I know some folks wish they'd go away but I thank the fashion gods every time I put some on. Ones with a bit of shine or look leathery can class up a look real fast as long as you match it with something tasteful. I think they work well with this bustier- Arden B. for $28.


An ankle boot works well with everything. "Revolvor" by Steve Madden for $94.98 makes nice with this look. The peep toe and dramatic ankle instep make these just enough but not too much matched up with the bustier. They look very similar to a Marc by Marc Jacobs bootie, but for about $500 less. Grab some silver set rhinestone studs- you're good!

You can be a rockstar & still be a classy lady. Look at what I found-

OOOH! Now look at the back-

I adore Asos.com. You can find all kinds of designer things without the wallet-busting prices. It looks very Indian influenced but still smells like a sexy rockstar. The open back & arms are so, so sultry. There are a few different nights this dress would be great. Not bad for $173.25-

I'm torn... which shoe?

I really like this bootie slash pump. Its by Madison Harding at Nordstrom online & in-store. This shoe gives the dress a little extra umph... or I can always grab these...

You can never go wrong with Louboutin...

I think I like this...

I'm telling you- Asos.com- you can't go wrong. "Lipsy" studded dress- $118.54. There's something so bad ass but sweet about this dress. You need a motorcycle & a good red lipstick for this.

I'm a fan of booties with girly dresses...

More Steve Madden. I don't care what anyone says, on a smart budget, you can't go wrong with Steve Madden. Yes they are the knock of kings however you can get a great pair of shoes that can shut down the side walk, pay your rent & still have a tip for the valet. With that dress, these boots with the larger studs work. "Cintia", $159.95. This is the boot you could grab the leggings from above, a white v-neck tee & a black leather jacket. All you'll need is a pair of mirrored avaitors & you're ready!

Obey the speed limit!

Time to shop!!!

Hey hey! I think I buy myself something daily. Nail polish, french fries, earrings... something. Never anything that breaks the bank- lately things to turn up my wardrobe & sexy factor. Here's another event I have to hit & buy some fly drag (cute clothes... lol)



If you're in LA this Saturday, October 17th, swing through. There's gonna be some great indie designers & lots pf pampering. Its always nice when you can get massaged & take home something to put on your nice, relaxed body. Get the car washed in the morning, hit the sale in the afternoon... I have your whole day planned out!

Crisp Air...

Yes it's Fall.. its cold... kinda. Its time to grab a jacket and wear pants, especially when hitting the streets at night. I don't believe in looking homely & Snugi-chic outdoors just because its cold. There's a way to be fly & warm...


Yellow is a warm, feel-good color. This off the shoulder cashmere from Victorias Secret looks good & is super soft. For $38, it will get a lot of wear & look great under a coat.

With...


These rainbow harem pants by Shopnastygal.com. I love the metallic stripes of assorted colors, including yellow- vintage clothes are the best! $138- I need them! With that sweater and some hot shoes, I'm ready for the leaves. I'll walk through them in these...


Asos.com- sexy! I usually dislike black shoes but there's something about these. The cutouts & the zipper up the back make them hot- $180.55.

Fall is 3 months long... You gotta have a jacket...

I fell in love with a new site- Shopnastygal.com. They had this "Aces High" vintage bomber jacket.
Look at the back-

I love sequins so this is perfect! $298.00- there's only one on the site & I hope to snag it!

Pair it with a white v-neck shirt &

Gap, Always Skinny Jeans $59.50...

You can't have a good outfit without some bad ass shoes...

Ooooh dayum! These are on asos.com- Irregular Choice for $227.96. Look at that heel! They're suede so here in LA, they're perfect for Fall. You gotta sit somewhere in public with your feet up and let people see these boots!

Both looks are great for a pumpkin patch- Fall into it! (Tip your waitresses! I'll be here all night!)

The Finer Things...

Happy Monday! We are officially done with summer.. so much so, I caught a cold. BOOO! Even though my nose is plugged up, my taste is still working.

I know I've driven home how important it is to have a good pair of plain hoops & a couple bangles to your wardrobe. I left out something just as important. It's key to have something on your neck, especially something signature. Try this...



This is an amazing piece by Finer Things- I love this necklace! You can wear it with anything & do anything with it. The model has it on classy, evening wear-esque. This is the kind of piece you can even wear a cute tee, jeans & over-the-knee boots. I love how its made of things you'd never think of putting together-


The pink ribbon turns up the pretty, dainty aspect of the necklace. The prices are very pocket-friendly... these one of a kind pieces start at $75. Its very 'Melrose Place', 'Gossip Girl', 'Daddy's Girls' style- it won't be long before they start popping up on tv. Get yours now! Email Finer Things (website in progress, so stay tuned) at kkangaroodh226@yahoo.com

Outside & In...

Hey all. I kinda have a lot of free time on my hands right now. Things are re-ordering themselves for my next move. I've been talking to a lot of friends & I guess the planets, moons.. something.. are out of wack cause we're all looking for what's next in out lives. To take the edge off, I indulged in some physical & retail therapy.
Chickdowntown.com always eases the pain...


Black Halo makes this "White Jane Shift"... as soon as I found this, I felt better. It is very grecian/ Cleopatra-esque & retails for $390. This is a pretty timeless piece. This style almost always comes back in, if ever leaves. Gold bangles, simple hair- work it!


Need this!

If you haven't been to Chickddowntown.com yet, go there as soon as you leave here. You can grab some Free People (which is one of my favs & can be really hard to find... but its at Chickdowntown.com), Alice + Olivia, a few fab dresses by Rebecca Minkoff... I will keep going... go see for yourself! I know you have Twitter accounts, make sure you add Amy's Chickdowntown- they have daily giveaways!!! I still need to give someone those leggings... Members Only, black, grey or brown velvet- who wants some??? Tweet me!

My outside will def look good in that dress but if my inside isn't right, its a disservice to such an awesome frock. I went bike riding today to get my mental sanity & waistline tight. I can't wait until later this week because I'm going to Pilates with THE BEST instructor in the WORLD! She's 4 on my favorite things list.

Natalie Ridley, is a NYC quadruple threat. She is trained in professional dance, theater, voice, and Pilates. This girl is no joke! She'll have you sweating in places you never knew you had BUT its thee best sweat other than that... you've ever had. I notice how much more elongated my body has become seeing her. Not only do I look good, working with Natalie gives me a lot of clarity. Stretching does something special for my mind! She's performed all across North America performing including on Broadway in Disney’s Broadway Production of The Lion King. Anyone that's performed with Beyonce is AMAZING in everyone's book. Natalie is kind & affordable too- I can still get my shoe fix & see her a couple times a week. She has private classes & teaches Pilates at Re: Form a Pilates Studio in Brentwood. There's absolutely no reason to just put amazing clothes on a raggedy body with her around. I am almost never wrong on shoes, so trust me! Call or email Natalie TODAY!!!

Pulling & stretching until I feel better...

A Bad Bag & Hot Leggings

Look at this bag!



Ooooh! This is the "Marilyn" bag by Louis Stewart. Can you say BAD BAG?!?! The skin, the hardware & the details are amazing! This is one of those bags you buy knowing everyone is gonna ask who's it by & start searching how they can get one. That leather is exquisite- and that's a heck of a word to use, but its one heck of a bag. I need one... maybe 2... this line is one to keep up with...

I posted some boots a few days back & now this beautiful bag, perfect for fall. All you need now are some leggings.. I have some for you. Chickdowntown & Members Only has a pair of fly velvet leggings for one of my readers.


Do you want grey....?


Or brown?


Black is always nice...

Your pick... hit me on Twitter & be sure to add Chickdowntown to your tweet list to get your leggings- you need them to wear with your boots & Louis Stewart bag!

Go Fall!
