I had such a wonderful time this past weekend at the Sip N Slay Brunch hosted by Every Stylish Girl and Brunchaholic. It was so inspiring and uplifting to be surrounded by so many beautiful, talented and jubilant women of color.

I was also so excited to finally get to wear this amazing vintage, embellished tee from the capsule collection at Brooklyn Bleu. If you live in New York and have never been to Brooklyn Bleu’s flagship store in Chelsea Market, I urge you to check it out as soon as possible. They have an incredible collection and so many distinctive vintage pieces. I love stopping by when I’m in the area or walking along the High Line.

I picked up this oversized vintage green jacket a while ago. When I first got it, I thought it was lacking a bit of edge. The first thing I did to add some flair was write all over the sleeves with a permanent marker. I am really into the “graffiti” look right now. I then tore a few large holes in the back of the jacket and on the sleeves, and then patched the tears up with giant safety pins. The metal from the pins gives the whole look a bit of a grunge vibe and keeps the jacket from looking too uniform.
