Down With The Brown

 

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome to the weekend, my fierce fashion followers!  First of all, I want to apologize for slacking in the blog department.  All I can say is that I needed to take a break.  That being said, the weather has been fantastic!  Time to break out the sundresses!  I decided to re-vamp this tired number that I got years ago, and when I say tired…I do mean TIRED!  I knew I could work my magic because I am a fashionista, and any true fashionista knows that there is power in accessorizing!  All it took was one belt to take this would-be burlap sack from “not” to “HOT!”  I threw on my side-zip booties to add extra edge, and I paired it with my amazing vintage bag that was my grandmother’s in the 70’s!  Thanks Grandma!  Enjoy the weather and as always…

What a gorgeous—GORGEOUS day, my fierce fashion followers!  I was especially excited because I got to debut this hot little striped number that I bought a few months ago!  It has been hanging expectantly in my closet until the weather finally got nice enough to wear it without a jacket.  I opted to follow in the “color block” trend by pairing it with my amazing yellow bag that I bought last week, and vamped it up with vibrant red lips.  Enjoy the weekend and…

Bronze Me Up, Scotty!

 

 

Hello, my fierce fashion followers!  I hope you all had some fun this weekend.  I think I had a little too much fun.  In fact, I am still recovering from all the “fun” I had, hahaha.  Oh well, you only ride this crazy merry-go-round once, right? I ended up going out spur of the moment.  I didn’t have a thing to wear, and made a quick shopping trip in search of something—anything.  I didn’t find a thing.  I knew my outfit was going to require some major effort on my part, and that I would have to navigate wayyy into the deep abyss of my closet.  Whatever I ended up with, I knew I was going to have to vamp up because it most likely was going to be from loooong ago.  Luckily, I found this deep chocolate brown halter  (circa 2003) that I completely forgot I had!   I instantly knew  the theme of this outfit was bronze, bronze, and MORE Bronze!  Using my straightener, I created waves and teased the crown for a sexy “bedroom hair” look.  Then I used my Metal Mania palette for glowing, shimmery eyes.  In addition to bronzing my cheekbones, I highlighted my face using iridescent shimmer powder.  My jeans even had a slight gold tint!  I was planning to show you all of this, including shoes, jewelry, and a close up of the sequins on my shirt.  I even had someone to take the pictures for me (for once)!  Then, my luck ran out.  I forgot to charge my camera and my battery died!  I couldn’t believe it!  These were the only ones I was able to take.   Maybe one of these days, I’ll post a re-do.  Maybe.

A Glimpse of Spring…

Spring is here, my fierce fashion followers…or is it?  During my stay in the UK, I’ve come to the conclusion that UK weather is a big tease.  It gives me a taste of the good life, dangling the sun’s rays and blue skies around me—DARING me to get comfortable.  And just when my wall of doubt begins to crack, and I start pulling my sundresses out of their storage bins…*SNATCH.*  The rain taketh away.  Although it is not yet time for sundresses and sandals, it is technically still spring and I am determined to display this in some way, shape, or form.  My outfit may scream winter, but my makeup and accessories cry “SPRING!”

A “Write” to Know More About Me

 

Welcome to the weekend, my fierce fashion followers!  Fash-uh-nee-stah was kind enough to tag me for a handwriting post!  What is unique about this tag is that instead of typing out the answers, you have to write them!  It gives the post a more personal feel, and I think it’s fun to see what everyone’s handwriting looks like.  I don’t know about you, my lovelies, but in my corner of the world, the sun is shining!  Pry yourselves away from your computers this weekend and enjoy yourselves!  Have a fabulous couple of days and…

Farewell to a Legend

 

Elizabeth Taylor

1932-2011

 

Elizabeth Taylor, epic Screen Queen, passed away at the age of 79 from congestive heart failure. Her real life drama was as infamous as her enigmatic violet eyes, and she was not without more than her share of pain. Enduring eight walks down the aisle, four near death experiences, and numerous battles with pills and alcohol, she persevered. Today, Hollywood lost the last of its original CLASSY legends. What made Liz (a media dubbed nickname that she despised) so unforgettable was that no matter how much pain she was going through, no matter how much heartache she was enduring, she always made it a priority to look her very best. She was always immaculately dressed and adorned in jewels, which she collected with the frequency as one collects stamps. Despite all of her struggles, her poise never faltered. She was able to hold it together and project a glamorous public image, and that is what makes a true lady. In this day and age, we just don’t see that kind of poise anymore. My heart is saddened as I bid farewell to a true legend, the last of the Original Hollywood Greats. Rest in peace, Elizabeth Taylor. Your loyalty to your friends and loving heart was as rare as your beautiful eyes. You will be missed, but through your legacy, you are immortal.

Orange Appeal

 

 

Making its debut in the Spring RTW collections of Prada, Jil Sander, and J Mendel (to name a few), the movement I have lovingly dubbed as “Orange Appeal,” is taking the street scene by storm in what is surely going to become a fashion epidemic this Spring Season. Whether it’s tights, clutches, skirts, or even lipstick, if you don’t have Orange Appeal this spring, you are missing out! I don’t know about you, my fierce fashion followers, but I LOVE to stand out, and I LOVE color, so you can bet your stilettos that I will be sporting orange on multiple occasions in the coming months! Have fun strutting this deliciously bold trend. I know I will!
