J-Lo & Jumpsuits

Welcome to Facebook Friday and welcome to the weekend!!

Today's post is all about jumpsuits. I have ALWAYS been a lover of one piece items and the one celebrity who wears one pieces well is Jennifer Lopez. Below are a few of my favorite jumpsuit looks worn by the curvy celeb. My creations are a tad different because I wanted to do one dressy/chic look and one structured/masculine look. Which is YOUR fave Jennifer look and what's YOUR favorite look I created? Are you a fan of jumpsuits? Let me know...

One more thing; just because the weather is changing doesn't mean you can't pair an embellished cardigan or trendy leather jacket over your favorite summer jumpsuit. It's the perfect way to save money, and a great way to revamp a certain outfit.

Enjoy your weekend and I hope to see all my DMV friends at the Shop & Swap tomorrow afternoon (see info below). Take care!

FBF: Jessica & Selena

Morning, friends!

I'm going to keep today's post pretty simple. Below are my FBF picks and I hope you enjoy both looks. I am LOVING them both but for my style, I think Jessica's look would be my 1st choice. I love the blazer and the causal white tee underneath. Casual-chic at it's best! Selena looks lovely and very mature in her lave Dolce & Gabbana dress; perfect if you want to look glam and sophisticated.

So, which is YOUR fave? Which look would YOU rock?? Let me know. Enjoy your weekend and be blessed!

FBF: Down to Business

Happy Friday people!! You already know its time for FBF so I will make this short and sweet. 

I am LOVING both looks, as well as my own creations. Garcelle Beauvais is always so classy and chic, while Wendy Raquel Robinson is sassy and always fashion forward. In my mind, the first look is appropriate for a holiday/special event party for work. Not too many frills, but just enough color and bling to make a statement. The second look I adore; its very me. I say this because its fashion forward, yet with the pop of green and the grey slacks, I feel that it makes the look reflects personal style. It's more than your basic "leopard and black" and I like that. I can definitely see this as a day look for the office, as well as an after work dinner/happy hour look. Which is YOUR fave??? 

Have a blessed weekend and be safe!

FBF: Sex & the City

Hey friends!!! The weekend is upon us yet again and I am SUPER excited to get this one started. Why?? Well, my birthday is tomorrow!!! I am always excited for my birthday---to me it's like my 'new year'. I can't wait to spend the day with my honey, and my family.

Today's FBF post is Sex in the City inspired. I know my fellow BLM Girls have seen me ask about this put I wanted to bring it to my blog page. My good friend Bre is having a bridal shower in a few weeks and the theme is, Sex and the City. We were asked to come dressed as our favorite character and a prize would be given to the best dressed. I could go ALL out for this, and as competitive as I am I just might, but for the moment I am trying thinking of two particular looks. My fave character is Miranda because I love her masculine inspired looks in the earlier shows, as well as her edge yet chic looks throughout the movies. I looked on the web and found two looks that I can easily recreate with things in my closet. Using Polyvore, I recreated them into my own looks. 

What do you think? Any suggestions?? Any looks that Miranda wore that YOU think I should try??? Let me know. For now, enjoy the post and I will ttys!!! Be blessed...

Facebook Friday: Colorful and Summery

Welcome to Friday my friends! All I have to say about this week is, "WHEW!". Without out getting into the details, this week was rather emotional and crazy. But I can honestly say that I feel 100% better and I am ready to start my weekend! As crazy as the week was, it ended on a great note; I won 2 tickets to the Curves Rock Weekend Runway Fashion Show this Saturday, thanks to Curvy CEO. I can't wait to go and see all the lovely models, bloggers, and other participants. HUGE thanks to Kim...see ya tomorrow ;-)

Onto my FBF post---today I took Eva Longoria and Jessica Alba's looks and re-created them into looks I would wear. I really like the color green and when I saw Eva's look I knew I could make it "my own". However, my fave look is Jessica's. While her look is very clean and more dressy than my creation, I love the simplicity of her look. When I recreated it, I thought of doing a maxi because I always go to a maxi dress when the weather is warm. My fave color is orange so I added some bold accessories and gave two shoe options, both I would wear.

So, what's your favorite look??? Which look can you see yourself re-creating to fit your taste??? Enjoy them both, and have a great day. Be blessed...

Facebook Friday: Floral Party

HAPPY FRIDAY people!!! I am super excited for the weekend...what about you?

Today's post is yet another edition of Facebook Friday. I've taken looks from supermodel, Joan Small and actress Denise Vasi (from Single Ladies) and recreated their looks. Both sets included floral bottoms and basic tops. However, I think both looks can be worn for a night out on the town, or a hot date night ;-)

I love how Joan wore a sheer top with her look; very subtlety sexy. My fave part of Denise's' look was her bold shoes! I love the pop of color. I decided to add a vest as my top instead of a blazer and tank. I felt the vest looked a bit more polished and chic.

Which is YOUR favorite look?? If I had to pick one look, I think I would probably wear Joan's. I always go for pants (or dresses) over shorts, LOL! Enjoy your day and be blessed!!!

PS Don't forget; you can see my fave celebrities looks HERE daily!

Facebook Friday: Denim & Lace

Well hello there!!! It's GREAT to be back!!! I've missed you all and I pray all has been well with you. As most of you know, I was in FL last week for my sisters national pageant. I am happy to say that she won her title and the trip was nothing short of AMAZING! I met a lot of great people, lil sis had a ball, and so did the fam. I will do an in depth post a bit later but that's a brief overview ;-)

I decided to take another week off from blogging, just to regroup in hopes to come back strong and better than ever! Sometimes is good to step away from things...it gives your mind a break and allows you to catch up on other things.

Now let's get to today's Facebook Friday! These two outfits remind me of what I wore while in FL. I was determined to be super comfy during the day because I knew I'd be running around. The first is such a classic summery look---denim, colorful bottoms and minimal jewelry. I added the oxfords and bulky watch in my recreation to give it a masculine look, yet included simple gold studs and a nude/pink lip to give it that feminine touch. The second look is another simple look to achieve. Skinny jeans are a MUST HAVE (for all seasons), and when paring it with a lace top it adds a romantic look. The animal print flats are fun, and the crochet bag screams SUMMER!

As usual, I love them both but my fave is Rachel Roy. I'm really into colorful denim/pants this season and denim is always a plus. Which is YOUR favorite???

Facebook Friday: Metallic & Floral

Happy FRIDAY!!! I hope your week was good and if you're on the East coast, I hope you stayed cool! It's been scorching hot the past few days here in MD and I can't wait for the temps to cool down. 

Today's edition of FBF is all about a smart look and a playful look. Nene is rocking her business look in metallic and grey. I LOVE this look---very smart and classic! And not to mention, she looks VERY RICH ;-) The next look is more fun and it's something that I wouldn't necessarily go for. However after I created this look on Polyvore, I really fell in love with it. It's something I would really like to try and recreate one day. It's super colorful and although the pieces aren't a perfect match, it works!

Enjoy and have a productive and blessed day!!

Facebook Friday: Hilary & Kerry

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!! I am so happy to see this day come---I have had one hack of a week! I hope you all have had a great week :-)

This week, I focused on Hilary Duff & Kerry Washington for FBF (click on pics for the original links). I love Hilary's look because it is so simple and basic, yet chic at the same time. I did a 2 part look with her pic as an inspiration because I can see me wearing this look A LOT this summer. I am a huge fan of skinny jeans, over-sized tops, and (comfy/sensible) heels. I intend to recreate both of her inspired looks ASAP!

Then we have Kerry...she is the epitome of class (in my opinion). She rocked this leather skirt and I love her top. To recreate her look, I though of something funky and different. So, I decided to pick leather shorts instead of the skirt. I love the look and I can see a lot of my blogger friends possible wearing an outfit like this.

SO, what's your fave??? Enjoy the pics and have a blessed day!!!

Facebook Friday: Keri & J-Lo

Happy FRIDAY!!! We made it through another week...YESS ;-) I hope you all have had a productive week. On today's Facebook Friday, I recreated Keri Hilson and Jennifer Lopez looks. I usually don't care for Keri's looks because they are a bit too revealing and out there for me. However, this all black look is so chic and cool. You can Never go wrong with all black.

J-lo is my girl and always brings it rather casual, formal, or whatever! I love her long cardigan/duster, as well as her platform sandals. I decided to recreate the look using flat sandals and accents of red. In doing that, I created an outfit that I would really wear using her style (and a few pieces) as an inspiration.

While both are comfortable and practical looks, I must say Keri's look is my fave. I really liker those fab sneakers and her near perfect hairstyle. Of course I would LOVE to try them out myself. But for now, I'll stick to Polyvore. What's YOUR favorite look??

Don't forget to check out my other Facebook looks, HERE. Enjoy the pics and most importantly, ENJOY your weekend!!! XXOO.
