Dressing up the Blazer!!!




Seems like Rihanna has set another trend!!!  A blazer as a dress?!?!?  In London, the barbados beauty paired a loud multicolor marble silk Stella McCartney blazer with ankle-strap sandals and round retro shade. She kinda looks like a moderen Elton John . You can also pull this look off, wear a mens or over sized woman's printed blazer. Have the sides taken in to give it some shape or add a sash and tie it into a cute bow! Throw some sexy strappy ankle sandals to the mix and BAM! You are ready!!! Look below to see how I created this look!



Another twist on a Printed Blazer....

Floral Prints!

Who said floral prints are for grandmas???

Some people think floral prints are for older women. Floral prints are really big right now and the key is that the garment has to have a little edge to it to keep it out of the "Grandma zone".

I paired a floral corset that had a couple of bold colors that I could use to add more pieces to make an unforgetable outfit. This can be worn to maybe a dinner and a movie with the girls.

Floral pants!! They dont seem as edgy as a corset but if you pair them with a cute top and maybe a cardigan and some pumps this "Grandma Print" is modern and hip!  I Love this look!

How to dress with mint colored jeans

Spring mint!


 Mint seems to be the color the "IT" color this spring.  Don't be afraid to add other pastel colors to give your outfit that fun twist. With this collection I wanted the Mint colored jeans to be the centerpiece. So pairing these jeans with  pastel pinks, nude and soft golds did the job.
