Simplicity in Floral

Florals, florals, florals. I am totally loving this trend. This is funny to those who really know me because there was actually a time when I would never be caught in bright colors or even in dresses. I will save that story for another time.

Since the floral trend made its comeback last Spring I have been intrigued and pleasantly surprised that it can be styled in different ways from casual looks to boohoo chic to office chic without looking gaudy.

This look is simple yet clsssy. I let the floral dress take center stage yet perfectly complimented by the gorgeous delicate nude shoes. These artfully created shoes are a shoe lover's dream. The fact that they are so comfortable is merely the icing on the cake.

I also kept my jewelry to a minimum and opted for a structured bag for the extra chic vibe.

When unsure about how to style a floral piece- "keep it simple".

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.
