Friday Sass—Rihanna in Studs gone WILD

sassncurlz — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 13:32:15 +0000

Hola! Happy Friday! Today’s sass features none other than the “Good Girl” herself—Rihanna in Studs gone WILD. I have a love/sometimes dislike thing with her personal style. A few years back she was always on point but as of late she has been missing the mark to me. Although there are times when I admire her f— it attitude and she does what she wants in fashion that is. The studded denim shorts and cropped top scream RiRi to me; to toughen the look add combat boots and a Alexander McQueen cross body bag both with studs of course. To block the paps…why not throw some shade with these fab Rebecca Minkoff sunnies—POW! Enjoy your weekend!

Memorial Day Remembrance

sassncurlz — Mon, 28 May 2012 13:14:00 +0000

Hola peeps! What are you up to? I’m hanging out today and taking it easy. I just want to wish you a safe and happy Memorial Day. Please remember to say a prayer for our fallen soldiers and their families.

**Real quick…I styled my hair using Ouidad Climate Control products. So far so good as it has kept my tressess in tact in this humid weather. Stay tuned a review is coming soon

Friday Sass—Stripes & Hot Pink

sassncurlz — Fri, 25 May 2012 15:57:28 +0000

Hola! TGIF! What are your plans for the long holiday weekend? I am going to kick back and go with the flow…I so need it! Let’s get to today’s sass—Stripes & Hot Pink. The weather has been so unpredictable here in NYC that I styled this look with items that can transition with the season. The striped maxi skirt and oxfords keeps it easy/comfy; pair it with a structured hot pink blazer for a pop of color and touch of sophistication. Easily dress the look up by swapping out the oxfords for heels then lose blazer and pile on a few necklaces. Perfecto! Enjoy and be safe this holiday weekend

Monday’s Muse—Brandy’s Curlz

sassncurlz — Mon, 21 May 2012 14:01:48 +0000

Hola peeps! Welcome to another week! While I was out with the beau stuffing my face with crab cakes some of you may have been chillin watching the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. I didn’t even know about it until I saw my twitter TL going crazy over Brandy’s curly do. You know I had to rush to take a peek and I must say I am LOVING it! She got it right with a big natural looking curly wig or weave *not sure*. This look reminds me so much of my hair right now—same shape, length and curl pattern. So what do you think, are you feeling it? Oh and fill me in who else took over the awards with amazing hair and/or style? Do tell….

Kara Laricks & Saks Fifth Avenue

sassncurlz — Fri, 18 May 2012 15:01:57 +0000

Hola! Happy Friday to you all! Yesterday we showed you the H&M collection of Fashion Star winner Kara Laricks; however as the winner she also had to design a collection for each buyer/price point. As H&M is the lower tier and today’s Saks Fifth Ave collection is of course is the higher tier. I can definitely see the resemblance in both collections yet SFA is a bit more sophisticated with a side of glam *i wouldn’t expect anything less from Saks*. Check it out!

The fab Coco Rocha modeled the looks show here and I am loving that they styled her hair in a big curly fro. If you like what you see then go here to purchase. Happy Shopping
