Street Style:Beet Trip

Hola stylish folk! Hope everyone enjoyed their week and is gearing up for an awesome weekend, I know I am! But I am soooo amped to have some fresh new Street Style features for the blog! Last night I attended Beet Trip which a cypher event with some of the hottest producers in my city! I ran into 3 of the cutest girls ever and I was stuck by their free spirted vibes and dashing style. Meet these beautiful ladies down below J

Meet Ayana and Chanel. Two of the cutest girls I have ever met! Ayana (ig: @AYANZAIRE) is a fellow blogger from the DMV and I was smitten by her rose colored trench and cheetah Chelsea boots. She reminded me of a younger me but a much cooler LOL. And Ms. Chanel (ig: @CRUZ_CHANEL)  kept it super chic in a grey cotton jumper paired with dark cardigan but spiced up with a pair of Harajuku Lovers yellow wedges. Both of these ladies were super sweet and stylish! So nice meeting you!

 Meet Brittany. So when I saw Brittany (ig: @BROWNBABE) I knew I had to feature her today. She was super sexy in an all-black number in a velvet skater dress, leather jacket, quilted Chanel bag, and Christian Louboutin booties. She is also the owner of Muse boutique right here in Baltimore.

J Alex review : John Altuzarra x Target collaboration

Hello beautiful people! So yesterday I spent my day after church searching high and low for my choice pieces from the John Altuzarra & Target collab. So I started at a smaller Target and literally found one of the pieces I wanted. I knew the bigger Target only 10 mins away would have more stock so I decided to travel there. Once I arrived to my next Target location I did find more pieces but very limited sizing, I mean all they had were size 2’s and 4’s..haven’t been that size since elementary school  lol (but I’m serious). Anyway I started to try on some pieces that were available in my size and found something I liked and didn’t. After my trials in the fitting room I went back to the section were the collection was I decided to ask an employee to look for availability of the pieces I wanted in my size at other locations. She informed they were available at a Target about 15 mins away which was in the hood lol. I hadn’t been to this Target in years but I really wanted these pieces. I arrive at my last Target location and they literally had one of the pieces I was looking for. I was having such a great day I didn’t even let that phase me. I purchased the one dress pictured above which is incredibly comfy and flattering on me.  I have to order every other piece which I have pictured also and I will promptly upload pics of how I will style all of them.

Overall the collection is a solid and cohesive one. I got to feel and examine all the pieces and the attention that went into each is great. The details of the dove embroidered sweatshirt and dress is amazing. The concept of these high end designers making collections for lower end consumers is a God send. Until I can afford to blow $300 on a dress or sweatshirt I will anticipate each of these collabs. Next up is Alexander Wang’s collab with H&M hitting stores on October 6th!



Top 7 Spring 2015 Ready To Wear collections

Hello beautiful people! It’s finally September and we’re getting ready for my favorite season. AUTUMN! These past 2 weeks have been beyond crazy for me! I turned 25 and I feel incredibly liberated! I'm ready to re-invent myself and work closer to becoming the empowered woman I want to be. This season is about self-love and growth for me. Keep your eyes peeled you'll see.

So with all that said let’s get into my top 7 collections form New York Fashion Week. I know 7 is an odd number but it was a hard pick. There were so many innovative and fresh collections. These collections I chose all bring something different to the table. I love the sophistication of Thakoon and the edge of Alexander Wang. I literally sat and watched almost every show from fashion week and I was mesmerized, not by just the collections coming down the runway, but the sheer beauty of fashion week. Fashion week is a hectic but amazing time in New York City. Although I've never been I can just imagine the rush of getting to a Karen Walker show with hopes I don't Miss Rachel Roy's presentation. It's a life I long for but I know is coming with hard work and focus. Anyway these are my top 7! Hope you guys gain some inspiration! See you in a couple of days!

Lela Rose

This collection was a bundle of femininity and lady like charisma. I had so many looks I loved form the collection but these 5 spoke to me the most. Right now I’m in a place of trying to “class” up my wardrobe but still keep my youthful spunk and I feel this collection is a maturing level to what I’m seeking.

Yigal Azrouel

The effortless casual aesthetic to this collection is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G to me! I mean when I watched these pieces come down the runway I thought of more than 10 ways to style the pink bomber jacket /dress. Like a pink bomber dress?! That’s sick! Easily one of must have pieces.

DKNY

Miss Donna Karan has of course done it again! This collection is an ode to funky London street style with a current edge. Of course you all know Rita Ora just launched her fragrance campaign with the fashion power house and you see hints of her style in the show. Well executed!

Thakoon

From faux feathers to a oversized frocks, Thakoon brought a certain energy of fearlessness I haven’t seen from a collection in a long time. The odd loose feathers on the skirts are intriguing and can play as a great conversation starter if you’re partying on the French Rivera. This is the most exciting RTW collection I must say.

Jonathan Simkhai

The sheer and cut out sheer portions of this collection is the main reason why I fell in love with this collection. Now sheer was a huge trend in the spring and it seems as if it’s not going anywhere. I love the variety of looks and how they can cater to all different types of woman. One of the most versatile collections to me.

Alexander Wang

Ok so what exactly do I need to say about this man? I mean he just continues to come up with the most innovative and edgy collections. I have been following Mr.Wang since the beginning of his career in 2008. This collection is the definition of FIRE. Like this collection is just fire. I can’t describe the feeling got watching these looks come down the runway. Ugh just FIRE!
