Springing into summer!

Can you believe we are in June!!??? The weather has been so amazing and has got me excited about the fun prints, color pops and bold accessories that work in spring and through summer!! So let’s get into a few of my favorite pieces that get me through season to season!

Right now my shopping focus is for summer BUT I love to get a piece that I can see me wearing layered NOW. If you have been following me on IG than you have seen my current boutique obsession more amore boutique in New Haven Connecticut. That’s where I scored this fab green floral print dress! I know this dress will be on rotation this summer.

How about adding a dress with your favorite pair of suit pants! The shorter the dress easier to make into a long tunic top layered with a great bright pant! When the weather turns hot, hot, hot I will add a pair of Bermuda shorts, brunch ready!

Let’s get into prints!! Color pops are always a good idea!!! Pairing together separate, doesn’t matter! You can easily pair the third quarter sleeve with shorts and the pants with a simple tank! So get the fun print and don’t look back!

Go with that neon pop and make it a high neck line and sleeveless! This way for spring it can be layered, under or over with a great puff sleeve or even a sheer sleeve!

Now let’s talk long sleeve and a maxi skirt!!! I LOVE taking a maxi and turning it to a strapless!!! So easy to pair with fun bold metallic accessories! The long sleeve can easily pair with denim anything!!

Kimonos or bust!!!! Do not sleep on long dusters, kimono and robe pieces to layer with jeans to suits to a hot night out with the hubs!!

I hope some of these fab spring finds make a splash this summer in your wardrobe!

Hey all my friends! First let me say happy New year! I know it’s been a while, but I have been working on a lot!! Excited to announce that I will be offering private style sessions for those that want to see fashion through my eyes!!! So stay tunes!

Fashion week was nothing short of fabulous!! I have to say I love runway shows, I mean that, the street to me has THE best looks!!

There’s magic in the air during fashion week! Everyone is in the zone, focused on how to wow, inspire and catch attention! There’s nothing too over the top!! Everything goes for me anyday, but especially during fashion week!!

So here are looks that I hope will inspire you to get out of your shell, try something new and make you feel fabulous!!!

Let’s start with color!!! Color of the year is…..Drum roll please!

This color is AMAZING!! A rich gorgeous color that pairs well with so many other colors!! So here is how I see it….versions of this color works just as well!!

You could totally rock this head to toe, or pop it here and there! It’s rich, sexy and comands attention!! Never underestimate the power of color!

Now let’s take a look at opposites of the color of the year, or the complimentary color!

At least if your not into the color of the year you can compliment it!!

Stay tuned for my New York fashion week recap!!

Suited summer

Summer is here and some of us will be working!! So here’s a little suited inspo for the upcoming season in the A. C. For me these looks won’t work cause I am in a hot box of a classroom!! The less layers for me the better! But for those that need layers here are my top 3 combos for your best suited summer!

Sun dresses layered with a tweed jacket and neutral accessories are perfect for day looks that can convert into a hot summer night out or when you leave the A.C.!

Bright and bold for those hot days. Bring out the values of one color to make everything work well together! A silk tank and bright pop jacket. Love adding print like tiger to an orange look. This was an inspirational day to say the least!! I walked with so many amazing woman to create equality for African American woman, and to remind ALL women that we are queens!!

Stepping through the summer garden chic and savvy!! Being a boss doesn’t stop because of a season!! Keep going! NEVER give up! Black and blue with a pop of turquoise will get you backyard BBQ ready straight from the office!

So remember these simple pieces to pair: Tweeds & sun dresses, pants & tanks and lots of color values for an uplifting summer filled with fashion!

Until next style,

Dresses of spring

What is a spring dress? For me that includes all kinds! From maxi to sun and a little bit of flow…it’s all about the details that you add with the dress to give the title spring!

Great cotton neutral wrap dresses can pop with layers and bigger than life bags!

This white embroidered beauty is from Mexico! It’s absolutely hands down a favorite!! love adding colorful accessories to give a celebration kind of vibe!

It’s not exactly a dress but adding what I call my wrestling belt created a dress vibe! The hot pink knee highs took it to a whole new level!

Loved the way that this yellow popped with the cloudy gray! The shape was fun and an instant mood boost! Gave a bit of royal vibes!

Fairytales are made of metallic fabrics and dainty necklaces! Working in like colors to your earrings and accessories creates a match made in heaven!

Textured lace, Jean jackets and evil eyes will keep the pep in your spring step!

Kaftans and an art show…yes please!! Keeping things easy breezy when on the go!

Denim gives far from the blues!! Pop it with colors from the print. I always find navy to be so flattering!

Love using hot summer day dresses in spring!! Great for layering and bringing in a little hot weather vibe!

Simple cotton dresses can be cinched at the waist to create a great shape!! Definitely invest in a neutral fringed sweater to have through chilly summer nights and well into fall and even winter!!

Grab that white linen dress and add tweed for some great texture!! Pair the look with a neutral! Hats are always a great accessory addition for spring!

So start getting use of your summer wardrobe by layering before spring is over!!

Until next style,
