Looks of the week...

The Essentials....
Whether  paired with shorts or True Religion jeans, a vintage blazer dressed up or low-key will never go out of style. These looks can be achieved with simple articles that may already be in YOUR closest.
A solid print or fabric can be shifted in so many ways. Invest in a form fitting thigh to knee dress(that way it can be casual or formal at any given moment. Who knows, happy hour at Pappadeux after work could snowball to a dance filled, social nightlife in a split second.I dont know about you guys but me and my girls keep the party going wherever we go :)
.. "vous qui y va ?..."
These require NO explanation. Next.....
I LOVE this look. Not only is it fun, it makes me want to create the same look but with MY own twist.
With an oversize, multi-pattern jacket, matched with appropriate cropped shorts, a black and white turban, a wool like necklace with brown embellishment,and  (either black leather, or suede) heels w/wedge, Solange owns this african inspired creation.  
THE SAME
..... can be said about my Favorite 'girlfriend' Tracie Ellis Ross. Flipped upside down, Ross follows the beautiful idea of an african inspired print with a black and white top apparel. Paired with a basic stripped 3/4 quaters top, the Multi-color shorts is another way to play with bold patters.... Have Fun!

Savoir Faire Style Tips

(Five Basic Tips to find your OWN style)
1. Remix Your whole wordrobe. Invest in multi purpose accessories. It can make or break an outfit.
2. Figure out what style best fits you to a "T" and ROCK IT.
3. Confidence is key when trying a new look ( Trust, people will soon hop on the band wagon.)
4. Invest in the perfect shade of foundation for your skin.
5. If you're not sure what to wear, always go with the basic, clean, simple look. V-neck with your best fitted jeans. Bold yet refined Jewelery will can take it to the next level without all the unecessary fuss.

My 'Must' Haves in My Vintage!!!!!!!
(Look your best on the Go.)
  •  Lip Moisturizer (can be used also as a basic coat for lipstick) Keep your lips pretty and plump, who knows your crush could randomly be in the area
  • Carry a little Extra cash: Dont miss out on that half off everyday bracklet the vendors has on his cart. Which by the way is calling you name
  • Concealor: This nifty little thing can be used multiple ways ladies. For Lips, use as a base and then apply clear gloss for that natural lip color. Dark spots, so you dont have to be decked out, but your face can be evenly toned without all the fuss of foundation. Under your eyes, Brighten up your eyes in 10secs. Dont wear last night on your face.
  •  Roll on Perfume: I perfer roll on versus spray or my favorite in house perfume. Roll on are great for on the Go women. As the day goes on, the perfume begins to settle in your skin, which makes it to last longer. Create your very own signature scent for people to notice.
  • A little accesory here and there never hurt anyone: Keep a pair of earrings, a BOMB ass ring, and or your favorite mens watch on you. Wah-Lah! Look your best even on your off day.

....Just another Love Story...

Thoughts. Just thoughts.

Life is like a PhotoShoot. Are you camera ready?!...

Hey, Its OK.....!
1. To wear Silly Brandz one day and Grandpa's Rolex the next.
2. To get the dressing on the salad, not on the side.
3. To come up with a load of laundry so your lucky underwear will be clean for tomorrow.
4. To be the tiniest bit scared of revolving doors.
5. To have an unreasonable large purse. Worked for Mary Poppins, right?
6. To have an off day! IT HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF US.
7. To be low key with your fashion at times. MORE IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER LADIES! ......Simplicity at its best!
