Lacy Details:: Lace Maxi and Orange Blazer

Hello Darlings,
             I had the pleasure of going to my adorable nephew's Christening a few days ago and it was really great to spend time with the family.  It was a windy day, perfect for a maxi dress. The sheer lace details are definitely my favorite elements of this dress. It adds a little something special to what would have been a plain maxi dress.

Sheer Lace details always manage to add a touch of sensuality and femininity to an outfit. The trick is knowing how much and what part of the body is been exposed. Lets not forget to keep it classy =)

 The Lace trend is not going anywhere soon and I can't get enough of it. I will be indulging in this trend all season long. To add some feeling of Spring and cheerfulness, I opted for a pop of color with an orange blazer and Pumps...Let me know what you think.

Spring Awakening

  Hey Guys,
       I am very excited to be posting today especially since it has been almost three months since my impromptu hiatus from the blogosphere. What can I say, I live in Michigan, and it has positively been the worst winter I have ever experienced. The thought of taking pictures outdoors in this frigid and temperamental weather always sent chills down my spine. So I would say among other personal reasons, my absence has been partly due to an extreme lack of motivation, accompanied by my unproven and nonfactual instinct as a African to hibernate during the winter months LOL.
      Although I made no blog posts, I always followed the trends. With Spring around the corner, I'm going to skip winter completely to highlight some spring trends you should be trying. And yes, I'm back!
Today, I am clad in almost matching striped suit, giving a feminine edge to mens-wear. I'll probably be shooting indoors for a while, as there are 4 inches of snow outside right now and counting.

One LBD: Two Ways

Hey Guys,
           When we think about how to style a black dress, we think neutral or statement shoes to spruce up the outfit. Since almost all of us already know this. I opted to style this sassy black dress form shoproxx a little differently (sans Jacket).
                 1. Pair it with a statement skirt for a holiday party. 
The top keeps it elegant and the skirt adds so sparkle and shine to the outfit. It's the holidays and nothing says holiday like a pair of glitter pumps. Try a pair in gold, it glams up any outfit.

 2. For a night out with the girls or for a warmer look, try some tall boots . Also adds some contrast with the short hemline. Top off with a cape or Jacket and have fun with it.

Cutout Shooties and Floral Cutout Top

"All the pretty colors!"

"All the pretty colors". That's what my dazed brain thought before I remembered it was only the first week of November. At the time, I had been at one of the stores I frequently go to for some shopping, and all the holiday decorations were out already! Wasn't Halloween a little over a week ago?
   Is it just me, or does it feel like it's a little too soon. We haven't even had thanksgiving  yet!
Not that I am complaining (ok, maybe a little). It just feels like we would be saying goodbye to another year way too soon; but on a positive note, I love the holiday season.
   
Speaking of colors. I resisted the urge to tuck in this colorful top; instead, I let it fall and flow with the slightly flared shape of the skirt. I added a skinny belt for some definition. And, of course the shooties from my previous post "booties to fall for", which I'm in love with. Hit or miss?   Let me know what you think.

The Shirtdress

        Starting up the new week with a post featuring this little number- a Joe Fresh shirtdress also at JCP.
It was literally love at first sight, with what look's like a mixture of camouflage and floral prints.
It's the perfect combination of comfort and style (and affordability, of course). It's got pockets, I don't know about you guys but I love the little unexpectedness of dresses with pockets: perfect for my Iphone that I keep dropping and cracking.
(I have been discovering lots of cool pieces at JCP, quite frankly, I love the new JCP).

 There was a battle of purses. I debated between highlighting the green or highlighting the mustard elements in this dress. But instead of sticking with one color, I thought "why not do both?!"  By simply changing purses I accomplished . I styled the dress both ways. No Jacket means warm day! Yay! Guess which purse I ended up wearing out.
