Into the woods

Hey Stylistas and stylistos!

Fall has officially began and I wanted to put together an outfit that's transitional. 

The pants offer coverage, but is a light fabric so it won't make you sweat in the heat. The top is sleeveless with a mesh yoke to help keep you cool during those warm afternoons, but you can throw on an coat or a blazer and you'll be ready for that fall chill. 

Wearing white and black is a huge trend right now! but I thought I'd something different, and pair this black top with a soft grey. it offers contrast and lightness to the outfit without looking like a penguin or sham-mu. Cause let's face it, sham-mu is awesome, but don't mean you want to look like a killer whale. lol I didn't put to much jewelry on Mariah. Kept it clean, simple and let the sunglasses take center stage.  I am OBSESSED with round framed glasses and sunglasses.

Tropic

Hey Stylistas and Stylistos!

It's hard to believe it's almost fall when this scorching heatwave in LA is leaving me wanting to lay in the sand by the crashing waves with a beer in hand and Joe Mangianello fanning me.....you can only dream right?!  Although I can't be in paradise, I can at least bring the tropics to you and I found this killer tropical print blazer cape at NastyGal and I just knew I had to get it! If there is anything you need to include in your closet now, is a blazer cape! its a great twist on a blazer, gives you the tailored look without feeling so confined. It also gives you a fun new silhouette to play with!

Hello 2014!

Happy new year stylistas!
I want too wish you guys nothing but happiness, love and growth! Thanks for all your support!

Electrifying Chills

Hey Stylistas!

Everytime Grease come on the TV, I can't help but watch it. I gotta be singing with Sandra D,  dance like I'm at the Rydell High Homecoming, experiencing Rizzo's Prego scare, and of course have fun at the carnival. One of my fave scenes has to be when Sandy reveals her makeover by Frenchie. Wearing all black, leather and a red lip painted on. I just can't. lol So this post is on honor of Miss Sandra D transforming into her Bad B*%&H self which always give me Chills, and are always multiplying =]

 

FALL back to black

Hey Stylistas!

So there has a been a chill creep'n up on LA, and i am totally loving it! Makes me feel like fall is finally here and I'm ready to whip out the hot cocoa and cozy blankets, wrap myself in scarves and layer up with all my sweaters and jackets!!! Wouldn't hurt if I had a Ryan Gosling to cuddle with every night and if certain things happen, I am not guna complain.  I mean, it is Ryan Gosling. How can things not happen lol.

With the cold breathe of winter coming down on us, I felt inspired to do something layered. I found this killer black faux leather jacket with python textured paneling and I knew I had to just build an outfit around it. I paired it with a black jumpsuit to enhance the femininity of the outfit and layered a chiffon dress to add lightness and soften the outfit. To help add some warmth to the outfit, I incoporated gold jewelry and a pop of color in the shoes.

Body color

Hey Stylistas!!!!

I think Bod Con dresses are great, but I feel like there aren't much versatility in them, other then wearing them out to party or party, or party, lol But when I saw this water color ink splatter bod con dress, I swear i could hear angels sing. The neckline makes me swoon,  and the print made me fall in love. It made me rethink how you could work a party dress in your wardrobe. Just wear like Mariah is wear, or throw on a blazer and cute heels for a date night with the boyfriend, or swap out for a leather jacket to rock out and slay the sidewalk with the girls.

For this outfit, I just kept the jewelry simple. I wanted the star to be the dress and the accessories to enhance the outfit. The cuff rings, and heeled sandals added a level of luxury and you come out looking like a sexy, sophisticated rich bitch without looking like you tried to hard by slapping a crapload of bling on. haha. Say no to craploads of bling on your body! You are not a disco ball! especially bling with neon, uggghhhhh i shudder. lol A little sparkle never killed nobody, but don't get crazy =]

anyways, I digress. lol back to outfit. And GO!
