For those that may not know, Magic City Classic is one of the largest HBCU football games celebrated in the south. It’s the tailgating rivalry between students (and alumni) from Alabama A&M and Alabama State University.
In connection with the tradition, Daniel Grier and Derek De Anre launched Magic City Fashion Week 2017 to recognize the Birmingham fashion community. MCFW showcased the artistic efforts of designers throughout the week of October 24-28, 2017.
Last night featured Streetstyle Thursday at Macy’s Brookwood in the IMPULSE Department. Christine Lee from Sober Culture served as the host along with runway styling from Magic City Fashion Week Team members Emma Ford, Portia Nichole, and Aliscia Marie.
Free People, Kensi, Rachel Roy, and Jay Walker were the highlighted designers worn by models. The fashion show was amazing and proceeds/donations supported the Birmingham Aids Outreach Organization.
The Ultimate Cuff is a selection of high quality, patent pending, modern technology jewelry for the Apple Watch and Fitbit Charge.
With the new Apple Series 3 out, women are going to need a stylish cuff option so they can accessorize their smart watch – which is why the Ultimate Cuff is perfect because it’s affordable, and the interchangeable metallic jewelry cuffs serve as an everyday functional piece of jewelry.
It ranges in price from $98 – $142, and is a great alternative to the basic leather band, multitude of color silicone bands, or designer straps often costing an upwards of $360.

This fall, there’s one wardrobe staple that can be spotted everywhere from the runway to work meetings to brunch: the blazer.
Ann Taylor combines their classic, tailored aesthetic with an on-trend effortless vibe in the brand’s new blazer styles – ranging from cropped to relaxed and tweed to jacquard. Pair each topper with trendy tie sleeves, ankle pants, or chic dresses to add a polished touch to any look that transitions effortlessly from A.M. to P.M to weekend.

Several of the pieces were made from precious gemstones and metals. The Carelle Fine Jewelry Trunk Show displayed structured and stackable accessories that are created for the modern woman.
The 2018 Atelier Pronovias bridal runway show, which took place today in New York City. Notable front row guests included Actress Katie Cassidy,Bloggers Mary Sengand Jessi Malay,and TV Host Andy Adler.
The new Atelier Pronovias 2018 Collection is defined by the concept of a WISH. Taking inspiration from dreams and desires, with water as the main element, this collection highlights the magical movement of waves, the fluidity of currents and the sparkle of water droplets in exquisite models designed to enhance the bride’s femininity.
The new looks are a fresh take on volume, a highlight in this collection, with innovative designs that lighten up patterns and reinvent silhouettes such as the flared line, designed to emphasize the bride’s curves and bring more movement and fluidity to the skirt. The envelope was pushed this season to give brides endless possibilities to play up their figures. Pronounced side cleavage, with elegant sheer effects, brings those attractive feminine curves to the forefront.
Thread embroidery, the star of this collection, is a testament to the atelier’s firm commitment to a thoughtful combination of materials and fabrics. Silk gauze, organza and Mikado add volume, while crepe and soft satin outline the bride’s figure, which is set off by the French lace that is a hallmark of the atelier’s dresses.
This year’s brides will sparkle more than ever with white gemstone embroidery that gives the collection a very sophisticated touch. Sensational jeweled dresses add a special glimmer to the designs and are combined with sleeve and neckline appliqués, creating a magical effect reminiscent of falling water, another distinguishing feature this season.
And convertible dresses give brides countless ways to shine on their big day. These transformable designs are complemented by layers, trains, overskirts and detachable boleros, allowing brides to show off different styles as the celebration progresses.
The new Atelier Pronovias 2018 Collection dazzles at every turn, making it –once again– the essence of good taste and quality.

About Pronovias
Pronovias was born as a family business over 50 years ago. The brand began operating under the name ‘El Suizo’, a prestigious Barcelona store in 1922 that specialized in lace, embroidery, and high-quality silk fabrics. The company presented its first collection of prêt-a-porter wedding gowns in Spain in 1964 – and Pronovias was born.
For over five decades, Alberto Palatchi Ribera has managed the group and its expansion process, conveying a philosophy of quality and design that typifies its work. In July 2017, the group BC Partners became one of the stockholders with the purpose of promoting the brand’s international growth.
Pronovias is currently present in more than 105 countries with 155 shops and over 4,000 points of sale. The firm’s goal is to continue to grow and open shops, both in the countries where it is already present and in new markets. On an international level, Pronovias recently opened flagship stores in cities such as Paris, Mexico City, Rome, Brussels and Berlin. Today, Pronovias Fashion Group is a global leader in bridal fashion that is present around the world.

The collaboration marks the first time that the lingerie retailer has partnered with a luxury brand to create an exclusive collection. Rousteing has also designed a section for the 2017 VICTORIA’S SECRET FASHION SHOW, which will debut on the runway this November. The exclusive VSxBALMAIN capsule collection will feature looks from the runway and will be carried in select Victoria’s Secret stores and on VictoriasSecret.com, beginning November 29th.
The 2017 VICTORIA’S SECRET FASHION SHOW will be filmed in Shanghai, China, and will be broadcast Tuesday, November 28th (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
I’m always excited to shop at the change of every season. There’s something about new merchandise that builds anticipation of months ahead.
One fashion tip that helps me build a solid seasonal wardrobe is purchasing items according to a distinct color palette.
This is significant because it eliminates the issue of having nothing to wear or a closet filled with various items? For example, burgundy toned leggings can coordinate with a burgundy striped plaid shirt. Or black sweaters coordinate with houndstooth slacks.
The same applies in terms of outerwear as well. I generally stick to neutral tone jackets or something that matches items in my wardrobe. Rarely will you find me buying a neon pink coat due to the lack of neon items in my fall/winter wardrobe.
Certain colors also set the tone for the season. Pastels look nice in the spring/summer while a beautiful array of warmer shades in the colder season.
Last week I attended the Konstantino Jewelry Trunk Show at Saks Fifth Avenue. The designer featured handcrafted pieces from Greece.
Each unique design showcased silver or gold metals along with luxury gems. The collection representative explained how specific pieces were created and allowed me to view the items up close.
As a style expert, the Konstantino Jewelry Collection can be paired with on-trend fashion items or classic styles and designs.
