Rocking a School Girl Look!

August 5, 2015

Happy Wednesday!!!!

I hope you're having an amazing day! Today's look was inspired by the thought of the upcoming back to school time of year that creates a rush and anticipation for both students and parents. With that in mind, I decided that I wanted to create a fun and cool school girl look but for a woman. Check it out!

I hope that you enjoyed and feel inspired to recreate this look with your own style integrated into it. Thanks for reading! Have a happy Wednesday!

Sunkissed Sunset with a Pop of Color and Style!

July 30, 2015

I have recently come to the conclusion that I live my life rather... FAST! Most days when I try to recall my week, I CAN'T! Is it due to memory lost? Lord, I hope not! Not paying attention to what I do daily? Maybe! Or just brain overload! I think this might really be it! Whichever one it is! I know that I need to SLOW DOWN, recuperate, and just enjoy the simple things in life that money can't buy .

For example, this BEAUTIFUL SUNSET! On the weekends, I just chill and spend a lot of time with Lyla, my family and friends while showing off the fashionista in me! One evening out with my loves, my outfit was composed of pops of color, printed denim, and jeweled shoes!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love COLOR! In past posts, I have paired a denim shirt with jeans to create a interesting denim on denim look. However, denim shirts look amazing with color jeans. That why I paired this heart pattern denim shirt with red pants to create a super cute casual chic look!

I like being comfortable and having an effortless look! But whenever I decide to choose a color as my outfit accent color. I always echo it more than once. In this look, you can find red in my pants, watch, and lipstick. Trust me, if you do this people will notice!

To compliment the blue in my denim shirt, I wore a royal blue handbag.

I wanted to added a little "BLING" to my outfit. A little "Wow factor". A little "Sparkle". So these flats were perfect to complete my look! You don't always have to wear jeweled shoes for formal occasions.

If you haven't tried pairing denim shirts with color jeans or vice versa. You should definitely try it! You'd be surprised how great it will look on you!

Xoxo,

Monique

Hot Day at South Street Seaport

July 20, 2015

I visited the South Street Seaport to attend an event yesterday and it must of been one of the hottest days ever in New York City! Once I left the event, Rolland and I decided to hang out in South Street Seaport a little longer. I know, I know. I should of headed straight to the car and into the oasis of the air condition. But, I decided against it! Rolland thought it would be a great idea to have an impromptu photoshoot.

I loved the outfit I wore yesterday! I'll be honest, I'm the type of woman who loves finding alternative ways to get multiples uses out of my clothes. So I used a summer dress as a shirt!

Every woman should try it at least once! I normally do this during the winter months. But I felt like doing it that day. Here's a tip for pulling off this look. If your dress stops above your knees, it's the correct length to use. Any dress longer than that would be too long and bulk up in your pants.

I paired this dress with a white pant to allow the pattern of the dress to be the primary focus of my outfit. I finished off my look with a blue handbag and flat.

Even though it was a really hot day. I felt great and had fun! Ladies, if you haven't tried using your dress as a shirt, just do it. This one creative move will lead to other creative outfit ideas! Have fun and play with your style!

Xoxo,

Monique

Mr. Sweater Your Days Are Limited! I Won't Let You Go As Of Yet!

May 3, 2015

Happy Sunday,

Everything has been great on my end all week. I mean it's SUNDAY AND THE WEEKEND HAS BEEN CALLING MY NAME from Monday! You know what I mean! (Wink Wink) Now that the blast of cold weather is quickly working its way out of our atmosphere, I had put together an outfit that allows you to wear little to no jacket. Actually, i'm using my sweaters as my little jacket. Here is a really cute way to wear your sweaters as outer garments. If you get warm or hot you can just remove the sweater and continue to enjoy your day!
