Last week was New York Fashion Week and if you watch my Instagram stories, then you know I had the honor and privilege of attending a handful of runway shows and presentations. It is amazing that there is an entire week for fashion fanatics like me to connect and learn. I sat front row (pinch me!) at Michael Costello and Pamela Rolland’s shows and saw Club Monaco’s spring collection up close and personal. To say I picked up a “thing or two” is an understatement! Below is my springtime fashion forecast. Do not let anyone tell you that feathers are out of style. In all honesty, the more fluff the better! Feathers are all over the runway in so many shapes and sizes and I love it. I have been a fan of feathers since I first dressed myself in them around age four! I think there is even a photo to prove it. Jumpsuits remain hot items for the spring. From bell bottom, culotte, formal, and sequin, onesies are not going anywhere. The ivory and lace jumpsuits debuted during Michael Costello’s show were incredible. Mark my words…I will rock a similar version including the fro. Can […]
I am “gaga” for Lady Gaga after her halftime performance on Super Bowl Sunday. But I am confident that I am not the only one who feels that way! Her energy and ability to entertain a diverse audience is very impressive. Furthermore, she does not lip-sync. Her act will go down in history as one of best halftime shows EVER. Did anyone else splurge on tickets for one of her upcoming concerts after watching that? All I have to say is that August 13th cannot come soon enough! You may recognize this dress from a Wish List Wednesday post a couple of weeks ago. Simply put, I could not resist the urge to buy it! I refer to this little number as my, “Lady Gaga” dress. The shoulder pads remind me of her. I bought it at full price, but I am happy to report that it is now 50% off and available in every size. In fact, the entire Nasty Gal website is 50% off, but every item is final sale. Do your due dilignce and read the reviews and refer to the size charts. The material is not stretchy at all so I recommend sizing up. […]
I’m baaaack! I am home in San Francisco and back with the swing of things. New York Fashion Week was a dream come true, but I’ll delve into that later this week. Before I left for the Big Apple, I searched the internet top to bottom for destroyed girlfriend jeans. The search ended on a high note with this pair from Express but then I forgot to pack them. Typical. Anyway, during the wild goose chase I learned a couple of things about girlfriend jeans that are worth sharing. Hear me out. Express is a great place to shop if you often alter your clothes. Most pants are instock in sizes 00-18, and available in petite, short, regular, and tall lengths. Apparently I do not disclose my height often enough because when I met my blogger friends in person they all said, “you are so petite – you look taller in your photos.” So, I am shouting it from the rooftops, I am 5 feet tall and the tailor is my bff. No really though, I need to learn how to hem my own clothes! When you shop for destroyed girlfriend jeans look for a cotton and spandex blend. You need […]
Today’s rendition of cozy chic features an off the shoulder sweater and you guessed it, faux leather leggings. I wasn’t joking when I said I wear them at least three times per week. The product assortment at Asos is like no other. No matter the occasion, you are bound to find something. I’ve turned to them for formal gowns, sexy jumpsuits, and everything in between. The merchandise mix is great but the two-day shipping is even better! For only $19, take advantage of free express shipping for a year. This post is not sponsored but ain’t no body got the time to wait around for five to seven day ground shipping! Decked out in Asos top to bottom, I paired this off the shoulder sweater with faux leather leggings (last seen here) and black over the knee boots. This combination is slowly but surely becoming one of my go-tos when I do not want to sacrifice style for comfort. It probably would have been a good idea to pack this ensemble for New York Fashion Week. They are predicting six to ten inches of snow tomorrow. Wish me luck! Good thing I traveled in my Hunter […]
According to the fashion industry it is already the spring. I appreciate the enthusiasm, but it does not feel like springtime just yet! Regardless of the weather, retailers nationwide are rolling out their resort wear collections. Today it is my goal to teach you how to mix spring-like styles into your winter wardrobe, particularly stonewash jeans. Hear me out. One of the easiest ways to “winter up” a look is to incorporate black. Whether it is in the form of a statement piece or an accent piece, it’ll darken up the mood of the ensemble. For example, white denim with black booties. Or, a blush dress with black stockings. If black is not your jam, consider other dark hues like red or navy. But color isn’t the only way to season-proof an outfit. Texture can have the same affect. Do you remember the burgundy romper from a couple of weeks ago? The fur vest and suede boots were all that it needed. Today we feature, stonewash jeans commonly referred to as, “summer jeans.” With two key items, a blazer and printed tights, I will transform them into winter wearables. A classic blazer is suitable for wear […]
