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,

Street wear

This time of year layers are necessary!! I’m not always dressed to the nine. Good comfy street wear is ! What’s my definition of street wear? Fun, comfy, layers and a bit of bling!

Love a great pair of Adidas, some color pops and an unexpected pattern like this Valentino clutch!

These sparkle pants are baggy and loose for comfort! Add a white tee, a little color match head and toe!

Layered large Tee’s are a favorite for sure. I don’t know about you but this time of the year is a time to get off my winter weight and feel good about sleeveless tops , short shorts and bathing suits!

Usually my take on street wear is colorful, but sometimes keeping it dark and denim is the way to go!

Sometimes it’s all about the texture and details!! Layers of necklaces, print pops and matching frames, just as eye catching as a neon pop!!

Grab that metallic jumper that you haven’t used since New Year’s and layer with some fantastic gems like emeralds.  Flip your monogram cardigan to create a patter break in your color pops! Top everything off with a conductor hat and you have an uplifted street style all of your own!

So grab those pieces that make you feel comfy, layer up! Add the bling and bring on YOUR street style!

Until next style,

Valentines Vibe

This is one of my favorite times of the year! There’s so much love in the air! Realizing that we are moving right along through winter and Fashion Week is coming!!! So I’m serving up some fun twists to try for your Valentine day vibe!

Ever use pj’s for your day looks? I grabbed a set and split them up to make a few different looks!! Loved the feather pops at the wrist! This color pallet gave me summer sorbet vibes!! The textures are so lush and lovely! So would this be a contenderation for a Valentine’s day look?

I really fell in love with the feather details on these lounge pants! I didn’t love the way they looked by the waist because let’s face it..they aren’t real pants..lol! So I layered with a longer blouse! Make your looks fit you..not the other way around!! So important to feel your absolute best!
