Can we all pause while I do a happy dance..haha!  Seriously this is major and I hope that Target and Neiman Marcus manages this well, by this I mean—amp up your server so there are no online shopping issues, please stock/restock the stores properly and set a purchase limit per customer.  I am sorry but every single time there is a designer collab with Target people get crazy, buy out the store and unfortunately some folks gets left out *ME*.  

On that note who’s down?  Will you be shopping on Dec 1st?  Do tell…

Friday Sass—Flower Power

Posted in Fashion, Hair, My Style Outs, Natural Hair, Polyvore by

Hola!  Happy Friday to you all!  Let’s get to the sass—Flower Power.  I am craving a dose of “real” spring as the weather here in NYC has been kind of blah as of late.  What better way to brighten the mood than with loads of florals and pops of color.  Check out how pretty Corrine Bailey Rae looks and those luscious tresses of hers.  Enjoy your weekend!

On My Radar—Sequins

Posted in Designers, Fashion, Shopping by

Hola peeps!  I hope that your weekend is going great.  Just sharing today what has been on my radar as of late—Sequins!  I don’t know what it is but I blame the upcoming holiday season that is peaking my interest for all things sparkly.  Here are a few options that I feel can be worn at any time and almost anywhere.

To rock these dresses (White- Alice + Olivia and Gold- Gryphon) during the day pair them with a structured cropped blazer/jacket, opaque tights and a chunky platform heel similar to the one the model is wearing or these by Theyskens’ Theory.  For a night out simply ditch the blazer and tights, add a strappy stiletto and finish it off with a fab envelop clutch.

BB Dakota Royale Sequined Jacket

The sequined pants by Alice + Olivia were the first to catch my eye, love that they are flared.  These are perfect when styled with a high platform heel, a rich deep burgundy turtleneck like Rachel Pally’s here.  Throw on a big floppy hat and a hobo bag for a laid-back 70s vibe to finish your day look.  These pants at night are showstoppers period.  The styling options are endless so wear them how you see fit.  As for the silver jacket **which reminds me of the Soul Train Disco ball but in a good way** is so versatile.  Skinny jeans, a leather mini like this cute one by Parker, or a maxi dress can all be paired with this fab coverup.
