Sandy is here, near, or something like that

Sandy the Hurricane

Hi Sandy my name is Alita aka FashionGuru and instead of me owning this playground today, it looks like you have taken over. I woke up to text messages, voice mails, and phone calls all about Sandy. I turned on the tv and who did I see...none other than Sandy. Sandy has taken the fashion scene by storm...lol...I just wanted to throw that line in there for no particular reason. I don't have much to say except for I'm stuck indoors and bored out of my mind. Here's some images I've come across since Sandy's existence. First picture I took myself and the second is floating all over the web.

Random Post

This is not fashion related...I repeat...this is not fashion related

So this morning I'm on the web and I ran across this picture below. All I could do was smile. If any of you are like me and was born and raised in the 80's then you'll know why. I used to watch Bob Ross paint as a child. He gave me an appreciation for the arts, from young. Well technically my dad started me coloring and tracing, but you get what I'm saying. Anyway, Happy 70th Bob Ross.

Natural Beauty

Chrisette Michele

Good morning and good day world. I came across this picture of this 'Natural Beauty', Chrisette Michele. I am in love with her hair, makeup, and those shades (that are to die for). She took the box to a whole other level. I love this new look she has and look forward to watching more of her looks as she continues to grow as an artist and an individual. Tell me what you think of her new look. Do you like her now or back then?

I also added the pic below just to show how versatile she is. A simple change of the eyeglasses and make up and she has a totally different look.

Kid N Plaid

So the last time I went to church...two Sundays ago (bet you thought it was going to be long ago), I decided I wanted to wear my new shoes. Ok...rewind...I became a fan of Jeffry Campbell about a year ago. I loved his shoes but of course I couldn't stand his prices. I had my eyes on a particular pair that reminded me of my favorite childhood shoes called Buster Brown. I finally found them on sale (price will be my little secret) for an unbelievable amount and of course I had to have them. Tell me what you think of me mixing the old with the new. The plaid top is by Liz Claiborne, shirt by ZARA and pants from Urban outfitters. I will give you a total price of the complete outfit, but to let it be known, the ZARA top was most expensive item. Total price for this look, $118

HMMMM...AM I READY TO GIVE AWAY SOME OF MY THRIFTING TIPS???

I'm A Thrift Whore

I'm a thrift whore, are you? I will eventually start to post some pics of outfits that are under $100 and when I say under $100 I mean more like $40 for complete looks. But, until then I guess I'll just say that I'm not ready to give away that information, yet stay tuned... 

Guess What I Found...

OK I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT...DRUM ROLLLL...

It's not really much. Actually it's kinda simple, but I ran across this pic today and well it gave me some excitement so I decided to share it with you guys...all zero of my current followers (insert smile here). Anyway, I wish I knew who the model was and what she's wearing (dress wise and necklace), but unfortunately if you want to know, you'll just have to do your own research. I'm actually not getting paid for this blog so guess what...you get what you pay for. Here she is...the beautiful...??? Wearing...???

Rain Rain Go Away

RAIN BOOTS

So it decides to rain today, yikes!!! However, be prepared for it. New York City seems to love the rain. Everyone's going through their shoes to select their favorite rain boots right now. Here's a pair that I love (but don't own). I'm not a fan of rain boots. I tend to trip a lot when walking/running in them. Don't judge me.

Boots by Marc Jacobs

A look you should adore,or not??? You tell me

'DRESS'  TO IMPRESS:

So this fall season ZARA has an army green jacket with leather sleeves that you 'll see all throughout New York City. You can throw this jacket on to complete any look. Here I've added it to a royal blue dress from H&M, to dress this look down a bit. I didn't want to be too dressy for the occasion.

I'm sure you want to know a little bit about me, right?
