If I could take a trip to London, what would I wear? Lately, I've been thinking about the future travels I plan to take and it inspired this look. Where would you like to take a trip to?
Hey lovelies! This look was inspired by one of my fav blogers from Dani French of Stylisticaesthetics. She did a post about pairings with stripes so I took a shot at it. Here is my rendition of paring stripes with prints. Also, I couldn't forget about the usage of color from this iconic Michael Kors handbag. Check out her blog post on how to pair with stripes here.
July is the middle child of summer! Ever heard the cliche' that the middle child always acts out for attention? Well we're most def doing that this summer! From outlandish graphic tees, transparent handbags, to bold statement printed clothing. We will make our mark in July. For one, Independence day has our back on fashion statements. We can wear, do, and say whateverrrrr because this is our time!
Although summer is suppose to be "sunny" it has been raining all freakin' week herein southern Alabama. Total bummer! :( On the bright side transparent shoes are there for the save! You'll have the rain saying "Can't touch this!" while doing the MC Hammer dance lol.
And what's the summer without those hippie sunglasses ehh? You can dress them up or dress them down with any outfit of choice cause it's THUG LIFE! :)
One of my favorite style icons is Solange Knowles. Her style has revolutionized over the years. One thing I can say about Solange is that she definitely doesn't follow in her big sister's footsteps. Solange has a unique and free spirit style that can make her memorable at any event. My love for SK's style emerged when her hit "Sandcastle Disco" hit the scene in 2008. Ever since then I was hooked on her melodic vocals and infamous fashion sense. I put together a look that reminds me of SK.
The singe/songwriter is making major headlines in the fashion world. Bey may be making headlines in the music industry, mainstream, but she better watch out for her little sis. Watch out Solange's coming through! Here are a few of her looks throughout the years.

"And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers
Chasing me all over town Cause he knows I'm wasted, facing Time again at Riker's Island and I won't get out Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden Kiss me on my open mouth Ready for you"

Summer breeze and palm trees, dressed in denim dungarees. :) I envision summer as a breeze. I've been working so hard these past few weeks that I just need time to relax a little bit. Why not put together a chill yet fashionable ensemble for a weekend get-a-way.
Fashionistas it's time to revamp and itemize that drab clutch in your closet. SO LET'S GET TO D.I.Y'ing LADIES! Materials:
Old Plain Clutch
Brads and/or Studs
E-6000 Glue
*Nail Polish
*optional
STEP 1: Pull that old clutch out the closet! Give it a good dusting because it will look brand spanking new once we're done with it!
STEP 2: Lie clutch flat. Get the brads/studs and E-6000 glue out. Figure out how you want the studs to lay on your clutch before applying the glue. Once you've got your patter glue into place.
STEP 3: Allow the glue to dry. Give it an hour to 2 hours max. Once glue is dry, take pride in your new studded clutch. You've just saved yourself a few bucks and look fashionable doing it!
**OPTIONAL: For an added WOW FACTOR to your clutch apply a drop of you fav nail polish on the studs before gluing them. Once the polish is dry glue the studs on and voilà. Talk about total chicness!
Lions and tigers and bears, OH MY! You have to be one with the wild girl! Grab that cheetah and show 'em whose the boss! Well cheetah print that is my dear. A little eclectic mix of safari prints will do your closet some good. I played with print and color a little bit with this look. Toning it down with the button down denim top. Adding in some black cat-eye sunglasses and bright neon sandals to give the look some added "wow-babow power".
Lately, I've been on the hunt for a good stylish pair of wedges. It's seems so hard to find them in retail stores but luckily there is a miracle shopping place...ONLINE! Okay so, now the online shopping markets have been booming. The low prices + discounts= tons of loyal online shoppers. These lovely shoes cost under a $100, which is pretty decent for a budget shopper. Visit some of the online sites and see what stylish items you can find. Catch you later on Style Ave. xoxo
