C-BREEZY

Chris was spotted at the debut of remade Wrigley’s Gum jingles at the Nokia Theatre Tuesday night in NYC, rocking a couple of items from Pharrell’s clothing line ICE CREAM. I am really feeling the choice of bright colors on this trip. For a young man, his style is never too over the top. Just a nice classic Urban Trendsetter Swag.

Going Long…..

So soon? Just when I was having fun cutting inches off my entire collection of skirts! When you’re a fashion slave, you rarely have any choice in the matter. You bend over backwards to attain each and every look throughout the season, and then pay for it months later. Unfortunately, the long skirts this season are not my favorite. Every time I attempt this look, I end up with 2 decades added to my lifespan. It is impossible to give this trend a youthful and vibrant look. Most shades are dark, providing no room for spice. I would really like to give this one a chance but for now, I am almost positive I will be sitting this one out this season.

OVER THE WEEKEND

PURE GALACTIC

Sunday, I attended a Fashion Show at the Granby Theatre, Downtown Norfolk, VA. Beautiful gold and silver graced the stage as well as floral, vintage costumes, and lace! The creators go by the name of “Q&COMPANY”. A group of talented individuals dedicated to fashion excellence! By teaming up with clothing company “ECHOES OF TIME”, they managed to knock our socks off with space age ensembles and edgy vintage clothing.

WATER COLORS

Being a fashionista, I am always looking for new ways to spice up my wardrobe. I cut off sleeves, spray paint my jeans, rip up my blouse, minimize my skirts, etc. With department stores taking over the Fashion World, it is impossible to stand out from the crowd. Today I am featuring a video from ELLE Magazine that will enable you to have maximum style in just 60 seconds. Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself!

OMBRE

n. A French term meaning "shaded." Usually a multicolored stripe, with colors graduating from light to dark. The color effect is woven into the fabric. Generally produced by arranging different tones in the warp.

During the early summer, this trend of blending was all over the fashion globe. From handbags to heels. With three or more colors to choose from, it was a nice feeling to finally be able to get the maximum amount of usage from one article of clothing. If you did not own orange heels, rock the red or yellow ones….and so on. This trend will still be around for fall. If you are afraid to go bright during the winter season check out the new gray “BURGUNDY” for an alternate shade.

PLAID PERFECTION

I have never purchased an article of clothing that was plaid. I never attended private school as a child, so this trend is totally new to me. I’m digging this look a lot. Plaid is not extremely pleasing to the eyes. You will have to step outside of the box on this one and just do it! Borrow the idea from Rhianna, by pairing a plaid skirt with a tank top. Don’t forget to hike it up a bit to give the “I bought this as a full dress” illusion. This is great look for plaid tennis skirts as well. The colors are bright (along with everything else) this season. Stick to shades that compliment you for an effortless look!
