October 5, 2012 by ByXayLi Personal Style, Fashion

On Sunday, I attended the Atlantic Antic in Brooklyn, NYC. It was a great experience! Food, Fashion, and lots of Fun people! I have some awesome pictures that I haven’t took off of my camera just yet of my Mom, my Aunty Nat and I.
Here are a few i was able to salvage though! Please do enjoy!

This is my momma, yes she thinks she is soo Fly!! But thats where I got some of it from ;P

Here I am at the front of the newly opened Barclay Center in Brooklyn!! Yes a Barclay at The Barclay.

And i’m absolutely in Love with these oxblood Doc Martens that Ty got for me (YES, i have a mean Doc Marten obsession). Aren’t they absolutely awesome though?!? <3

Fun Fun Fun!
That was my Sunday in a Nutshell !

Missing Cali Much?!?

O Cali!! How I miss thee!!

Rocking my fav pair of chucks! And an awesome fringe bag I acquired from Kitson . O and some earrings I made myself!!

I totally prefer the West Coast, although I live in the East . Maybe one day I’ll make that leap.

Thelmas Flowing Again!!!

July 14, 2012 by ByXayLi Its all in my mind! Personal Style, Fashion

Yesterday I took my time and updated my Carbonmade website!! Which is the portal that I use for my online portfolio.

As you know, I came up with the name Thelma’s Flo from both my Grandmothers’ first names (God bless them) they were both into garment making and designing. And influenced me as a child in such a great way, especially where fashion and style is concerned. Much love, thanks and respect to those two exceptionally great women. Thelma and Flo!!

You can take a look at my work at >;;>;;

Trunks and Coils

May 10, 2012 by ByXayLi Personal Style, Fashion

Anytime I put my hair up in “Coils” people get a heart attack thinking I cut my hair off! *giggles*. This is a hilarious but totally useful prank that I love to play. It takes approximately an hour to get the 120 locs on my head into these coils. But the after effect is a most desirable one. I get waves and curls everywhere for at least three weeks!

I took a few pictures sporting my coils with some Elephant Trunk Earrings made ByXayLi (me). They were available last year, maybe I’ll bring them around again soon!! .

Day n Night

January 16, 2012 by ByXayLi Its all in my mind! Most Likely Just a Random Post!

Out with my Loves <3 !!

August 20, 2011 by ByXayLi Most Likely Just a Random Post!

Last week I had an awesome night out w a few of my aces! Ahhhh the life of well.. Me! I haven’t yet found a category for myself! (don’t think I ever will though). Soo we decided to attend the billboard blowout, before heading out to a night in the city. It was a really nice experience..I somehow after being bold ended up on some sites..(which if I could find them i would post the links) But it was a great night all in all. (ehemm)

I couldn’t find anything to wear! I absolutely despise when this happens. Ever since I was little my aunt would tell me if I had one outfit, then I’d def know what I was wearing lol! Thank God I’ve always been blessed and CREATIVE!I found these cute leopard print shorts that I had sewn a while ago and a denim cutoff jacket that I had altered ions ago.. so I paired these two, which had absolutely nothing to do with each other, swung my dreads over to one side and I was on my way! FUCK iT!

Swizz Beatz killed his performance, and he even Brought Estelle, who I absolutely love! and she looked dope as F*&% too! LMFAO performed my fav Shufflin! Where we ended up after is a secret. shhhhh! (deserves a post all by itself) It was a good night all in all.
