Alright, I by no means consider the Kardashians or the Jenners to be style icons. But shit, sometimes members of that clan wear some shit that I can really get behind. Like Kim’s recent free the nipple world tour or Kylie’s crazy hair colors.

When I saw Kendall Jenner cut up her vintage tee in a super simple (but sexy) way, I really liked it. Also, I knew that I could do it myself (even if Kendall didn’t do hers herself, which I doubt she did).

Because I didn’t have any tees that I was willing to cut up, I paid a visit to the Buffalo Exchange by my office and browsed the boys’ section. There weren’t many shirts I liked in the men’s section, but I did come across this FUCT t-shirt that I thought was hilarious. After all, you know how much I love shirts with semi (or very) inappropriate sayings.

I also ended up buying a cute Thrasher t-shirt with a flame pocket, and a black mesh button up tee. I love boys clothes, and since I no longer date skater boys, I have to purchase them myself these days.

The tee I got was not exactly like Kendall’s. The fabric and fit was boxier and the shirt was a size small, so it wouldn’t be as baggy as Kendall’s look was. Either way, I decided to go for it because the front of the shirt didn’t have much on it anyways.

I basically just cut a slit in the middle of the chest part of the shirt, then cut up both sides as evenly as possible. It literally took me under a minute, which was great.

Because my tee was boxier, I tucked the whole thing in rather than just a front portion like Kendall. I also chose to wear a more fun bra because a black lacy bra-let is a bit more scandalous on me, and I’ll use any excuse to incorporate cheetah print into an outfit.

Would you try this look? Or do you prefer to cut up your old tees in a different way? Let me know in the comments!

Bushwick, Brooklyn, is one of those parts of town that’s in the process of being gentrified.

This means that everyone who lived there previously is getting pissed, and everyone who never set foot there before is now flocking there to rent an apartment or try a new hipster coffee shop.

I used to work in Bushwick about two years ago, and it’s changed so much! When a friend of mine invited me to dinner/drinks at a place called Forrest Point, I was amazed that it was the same part of town.

To start, I had the Genji Gimlet which included Brooklyn Gin, Dry Sake, Green Chartreuse, Sesame Honey, Lime, Yuzu, and Toasted Sesame Tincture. It was really good and easy to drink. I also got this Rebecca Minkoff bag for sale at TJ Maxx for just $40 the other week, so figured I’d showcase that too.

For dinner, I was set on the eggplant sandwich but then the waitress decided to elaborate upon their “secret” burger menu and she literally saw my eyes light up when she mentioned a jalapeño mac and cheese burger. So my friend’s girlfriend and I decided to split the eggplant sandwich and the burger so we could have both. Always a great decision, because I always want to try everything possible.

Grilled Eggplant Sandwich: Marinated eggplant, roasted tomatoes, grilled halloumi, watercress, lemon-caper pesto. 

For dessert, we went across the street to Bake Shop, which was allegedly named as having the best chocolate cake in NYC or some shit. Once we saw that award, we were convinced. I got a Brooklyn Blackout cupcake and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed.

The frosting was overly rich and the cake was dry. I’ve had way better cupcakes in NYC. I really like Baked By Melissa because I can get so many flavors without feeling sick afterwards, and Georgetown Cupcakes never disappoints, although I may be partial because I’m from DC.

Thankfully, even though the cupcake was sub-par, they did have a really cute side wall for a photo op…
