How to wear a cape during NYFW?

I honestly love capes so I decided to wear my suede cape from Zara twice. Of course I mixed it up each time! It was mad cold that’s probably why I got the flu not realizing that NYC much colder than D.C. Regardless, my first look I decided to wear a dress with color, blocking snake boots, and handkerchief. The is fun and edgy in such a girly way.

Ummm… no.


This graphic tee comes from Thread Tank.  

When they reached out to me for a collaboration, I was like yes! So overwhelmed with excitement. 

 

I love how fun this brand is. You can pretty much do anything with a graphic tee and the sayings really just top it off, to make light of whatever is going on around or just simply make you laugh. They are mad comfortable. Like I just said, they can be worn dressed up or down.

 I chose to wear this with a black, sheer and lace skirt. Which was then paired with an edgy bandana and Converse. I went with a more comfy style, yet somewhat chic *flips hair* 

Who doesn’t like a good graphic tee? 


NYFW: Day1

Every year I go to NYFW. 



I feel if your in fashion world you must go NYFW the mega conference for fashion Week. It’s an event you should experience.




The fashion was on point. For the shows I attended, the clothing involved a lot of lace and gowns with flowy trains. On the runway I saw dresses with sneakers. Very unique and something I would not normally think of trying. All in all, it made me want to use some of those trends on the runway in my wardrobe. It’s all about self expression!


What I wore:

One thing I wish I had done, is explore more of NYC like going to museums, eating at the amazing restaurants,  and going to more after parties! I think going toNYC is such a different world

 now it’s back to reality…

Nora NYC Shades

When you get back from NYC, sick from the flu but your Nora NYC sunnies get you hype. Yep, thats my current situation. 

I had the lovely opportunity to collaborate with Nora NYC

 I love how unique their shades are. They are super edgy and chic. So me. 

Nora NYC does offer a wide selection of shades that you can choose from. They are all about pushing the limit in creativity. With any pair you choose, you are sure to stand out. I am beyond happy with my pair!


 So definitely go and support Nora NYC by choosing a pair of rocker sunnies today! 

All About the Lips









Let’s talk about E.L.F. Cosmetics. 

One of my favorite beauty brands as I have been using their products for awhile now. Today I want to focus on their lip palette. Most of the time, I am mixing colors! I think it is so fun and neat to see what new colors you can create.

 For this look, I mixed together a pink and dark burgundy through layering. Mixing can be done by pouring a little of each color on your hand, mixing then applying. What I always do though is mix by layering so one coat dark burgundy and the next pink. Not only are both colors amazing alone, but they are fabulous together. I love the results! They go perfect with my blue and neutral outfit. 


When picking out this look, I was going after loose pieces. This outfit flowed nicely, making it great with summers breeze. Not too hot, but just right! As you can see, I wanted to keep everything very neutral. This outfit says a lot, with very little color and no patters. 

Those lips though. 

The Little Red Outfit

Ah, the little red outfit.

With my looks, I like to compliment them with “matchy matchy” tops. Like this red leather jacket. As you can see, I paired it with a red top. It gives a very sophisticated look that I love. During summer time, I often wear sleek looks.



“Fashion is what you buy. Style is what you do with it.”

Killing the sleek look all day long! The glasses are the perfect touch. Also, let’s not forget about these gold, dangle earrings. Just one piece of jewelry to not be over the top. The key is to find a happy medium to bring the sleek look.  

 



When in doubt, wear red. 



TOBI X F.I.T.S on Me

Hello All, 

My experience with TOBI was such a good one! What I like i about this brand is that you can incorporate within your wardrobe. I’ve had many experiences where you want to work with a brand. I would actually buy a couple more items from tobi! Their brand is a lot about being sexy in a classy way. I don’t like showing to much skin. This Two of A kind Mid Dress  has so much options to wear this dress. I choose to wear this dress over pants with a bomber jacket. I love how easy this dress is it compliments my skin tone and it’s not too much! 



My next was this The Morgan Color Block Maxi Dress same thing love the color and how it compliments my skin tone. I loved how it such a flowy dress you can dress up or down. Wear a shirt underneath or no shirt, so many possibilities that you can play around with this dress! 

Last pick this Tuscan Nights Off the Shoulder Dress oh yeah it’s a dress but you can definitely wear it as a top or dress either way works fine! I choose to wear pants underneath to give it more of a laid back look. I actually didn’t think it would work but I think it did. I like how this dress is not too tight but has such a carefree appeal. 

I would say my experience with tobi has been a wonderful experience that I really would recommend buying from the TOBI brand.

Hello All, 
Long time, you know your ready for fall to begin, when you want to start wear your booties and button-up tops. seriously, when you get to certain age you may want to dress your age. Like crop tops, I love crop tops but I can’t just wear crop tops showing all my skin. I like layering up a crop top which is cool because you remember…when you use to wear your vest sweater over a buttoned up top that’s how I relate crop tops to. 
On an occasion, I dress like how I feel so that’s how this outfit came about. I wanted to wear this crop top just finding the right clothing to wear with it. I honestly love to just mix and match but still complimenting my looks. 
Just have fun wearing your clothes cause that’s what it’s all about!!!!
Fashion Love
