Instaweek 10.15

So it's definitely been almost a month since my last Instaweek update. To say it's been busy is a severe understatement. Crazy month but I'm hoping to get back to my regular 'gramming this week. Anyhoo, here's what my crazy life has been like for the past few weeks:

- All Clear: So I did another cleanse/detox (I'm getting good at these things!) last week. This one came courtesy the lovely folks at CLEAR Haircare  - it was a 2-day juice cleanse by Pressed Juicery. I'd definitely recommend it. The juices were really tasty and surprisingly I didn't get very hungry at all.

- Bejeweled: So in September I attended the Lucky FABB conference as a kickoff to NYFW. On top of the fact that I had a blast, they gave us some pretty awesome gifts. I'm currently obsessed with everything from t+j Designs (that Gold Spike bracelet top right was a gift from them, and the jewels top middle are theirs as well) as well as my new Caravelle by Bulova rosegold watch.

- Barack The Vote: I'm sure you guys have been keeping up with all the hooplah regarding the upcoming election. Make sure you're registered to vote! Can't stress enough how important that is. Though I'm clearly standing behind our current president,  political affiliation doesn't matter. Just make sure you're doing your civic duty. Huge shoutout to Modern Day Mogul for sending over one of their Obama bowties. Isn't it adorbs? Can't wait to style it!

- Throwback Thursday: I'm officially obsessed with everyone's kiddie pics and embarrassing photos flooding my Instagram & Twitter timeline on Thursdays. If you haven't checked out our modern twist on the Throwback Thursday trend, get into it. And send over those kiddie pics! Don't make me come after you.

I'm in need of some new Instagram peeps! Leave your username below so I can #followback

Throwback Thursday: The Monochrome Suit

Happy Thursday folks! So last week's Throwback Thursday you got to clown me for my sponge roller bangs and round spectacles. This week, the joke is on LBS Assistant/Pop Culture Editor Makisha.

Isn't she adorbs in her little blue outfit?

You too can be fabulous like Makisha at 3 years old. Get into the Monochrome Suit look - an updated version of Makisha's digs. Below are some monochrome suit options for you.

The pant suit on the left (Simply Be, $160) works perfect for the colder weather months. And if you're real daring (like Makisha was), get your life in a short suit similar to the amazing Twenty8Twelve one we saw Solange rocking last week in this post.

Don't forget! We want to embarrass you TOO! Send an email with your Name, an old school Picture of yourself attached, and the Year to luvbrownsugar(at)gmail.com with "Throwback Thursday" in the subject. Promise I won't point and laugh! (Ok maybe I will, a little...)

Throwback Thursday: Geek Chic 101

Happy Throwback Thursday folks! This is me in second grade... 

(*waits for uncontrollable laughter to stop*) 

Yes I had coke bottle top spectacles back when they weren't cool. When the phrase "Geek Chic" didn't exist. When cardigans were corny. And sponge roller sets were cool. Oh how times have changed. I went from four eyes to fashionable and it only took 20+ years. Get my throwback look with the following pieces...

 Cardigan: Alexander Wang ($224) | Oxford, Marc Jacobs ($450) | Bowtie, Elite Solid ($37.50) | Spectacles, ASOS US ($34.49)
