Lady In Red, White and Fedora.

I look at wearing white after labor day like eating fruit cake long after Christmas. Gimme more if taste good and I’ll gladly wear white to stand out among others who will most likely wear the darker colors during the fall/winter.

Dietitian, and friend Paola Mora may have something to say about my love of fruit cake “all in moderation,” but she has no problems with wearing white long after the month of September, so much I got her to model the angelic color.

Deals Galore: Fashion Copy Catting

Imitation is the best form of flattery. The fashion advisers we all hail to, plus a small group of street-stylers who have perfected the strut, stop, and stare looks get the well-deserved attention from all during fashion week. They are also the lucky ones to get their skinny bodies into garments, shoes and accessories hot off the runways. Therefore you can’t blame us if the uniform effect has become part of our culture.

Touch Some Velvet Real Good!

One pretty dress, three beautiful looks. This Gypsy Junkies Dylan Bustier Dress was originally meant for a holiday story I was putting together, but with my impatience I needed to share it NOW! Patience is a virtue, ….I’m typing that while nodding my head no and don’t you agree? With this burn-out velvet piece, I couldn’t just do one head-to-toe look. The more the merrier, and easier on the wallet is what we all like. Continue reading “Touch Some Velvet Real Good!” »

Style Tip: Earrings As Collar Clips GIVEAWAY!

As I’ve said before, I don’t have pierced ears, and see no need to do it now. Most of my friends never noticed until I pointed it out, (love them) and my love of accessories and jewelry hasn’t been hindered because I lack two more holes on my body. I’ve just found other creative ways to rock the dangling beauties.

In a previous post I shared how to wear earrings as brooches (here), now I’m sharing my version of collar clips! Modeling the look, is my sister who ears also aren’t pierced. Continue reading “Style Tip: Earrings As Collar Clips GIVEAWAY!” »

How I Spent My September.

It seems as though my entire summer was the month of September. July and August were quite compared to exciting chaos September served me from beginning to end. In 30 days I managed to traveled the NYC world and the seven train lines, in the name of fashion. Pss: I was listening to Eurythmics ”Sweet Dreams”

There were so many things that happened in one month, why would I bother writing about it when we all know pictures are better than words.

So I’m taking back to my head-of-the-classroom days.

Fashion Q&A: Ways To Wear Chambray.

Question: I have so many chambray shirts, but don’t know what to wear them with not that it’s getting colder. Do you have any suggestions?

Answer: Chambray or denim dresses and shirts deserves more play time during the fall season. They’re great transition pieces once paired with sweaters, blazers, trousers or leather for the chilly days ahead. Use chambray as a neutral the way you would use black, brown, grey or nude.

Earrings on Ears and Chest

My love of fashion does have limits, one of them is altering my body.

-Losing weight to fit into a sample size. Not going to happen since I love food to much and these curves aren’t going anywhere!

-Getting tattoos to document a moment in my life. I have enough scars and bruises to remind me of those moments don’t need the ink.

-What about piercing my ears to don some earrings. I like my ears hole free, but that doesn’t mean I can’t wear the earrings! Take it to the clothes my fellow fashion brethren.

With bejeweled clothes, shoes, and any other part where X marks the spot, this Fall/Winter is the perfect season to wear your jewels on your chest. I look at earrings as brooches that come in pairs.

Misplaced In The Right Place Part Two.

The night chills are here and it’s time people to Fall in Line. Time to start wearing layered looks, covering certain body parts up, getting our leather on! I reckoned now is the prefect time to feature this video, and photos created months ago with my creative team. I personally like to stay ahead of the fashion trends, test them out, making sure the outfits created are worthy of happy faces.
Time to pose, strut and smile.

Ohh My Mary Janes.

A recent visit to JCrew resulted in me trying on a special pair of shoes, their Mona patent leather mary jane heels. No more than 5 seconds after the last button was in place I had a flashback which can only be compared to food critic, Anton Ego’s, childhood memory in the movie Ratatouille. My very first MJ’s (not Marc Jacobs) were flat, patent leather, and black. Worn with white lace-trimmed socks to church, they were the shoes that made me feel like a little princess, and were part of my first few outfits I put together that didn’t require my mother’s help. Who can forget the first shinny thing that made them feel special?!

Fashionable Ones Can Talk It All.

One; just give me one fashion editor, stylists, or fashion week regular rocking a mask or muzzle next month. Thinking outside the box, when it comes to accessories and this is a perfect must-see look that belongs on the streets during fashion week.

Maybe these face cover-ups will be great for the Fall/Winter season, perfect for those windy days. Who am I fooling, the muzzles some designers sent down the runways will not be protecting any of us from blustering winds, but on the plus side we can talk a whole lot of smack about people in a low voice and they will not pay attention to our lips moving, all they’ll notice is the face jewelry being rocked.
