Tamar Collection | Stylish and Well – Made Clothing

Sharing photos and clothing from The Tamar Collection –

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of The Braxtons and especially Tamar. Their sister dynamic reminds me of my own family with the laughs and craziness! I’m also the youngest child and can relate to Tamar in the perspective of being outspoken, fashionable, and loving everyone unconditionally.

I was excited to receive items from the Tamar collection and eager to share with my audience. The two pieces shipped included the Vegan Leather Pants and Striped Shadow Skirt. Both items are simply gorgeous and very well-made for all body types.

For styling purposes, the striped shadow skirt can be worn with a blouse or jacket to dinner, church, or brunch. The vegan leather pants are perfect for a girl’s night out and perfect in terms of size and length.

I decided to pair the skirt with teal accessories for a fresh summer look; and wear a white jacket with the pants for a sophisticated color combination.

I hope that everyone will check out the Tamar Collection. The site updates frequently and trust me, you will not be disappointed!

PANDORA Store Re-Opening – Art of You Campaign

On Saturday, June 20, 2015 I was invited to take part in the grand re-opening event for PANDORA Towson Town Center. The event revealed their new store design which complimented the campaign, “Art of You.”

PANDORA’s “Art of You” campaign invites consumers to embrace the self-creator within and tell their unique life story. I was excited to attend the event because I am collector of PANDORA bracelets and charms. My bracelet (s) allow me to wear those memories daily. I also like the quality of their jewelry ranging from silver, gold, and diamond.

The event was also very informative. I received a store tour, viewed jewelry, and learned more about the company’s overall philsophy. Store associate (whose name was also Kim) shared their most popular ring this season due to Selena Gomez’s tweet:

Need the princess pandora ring in my life

I could not visit the PANDORA store without making a purchase for myself. I decided upon the Faith, Hope, and Love charm to compliment my silver bracelet. This particular charm’s symbolic to my life; Faith and Hope for all things possible while continuing to walk in a state of Love!

Coach Campaign Launches with Lady Gaga’s Pup

Coach, Inc., a leading New York design house of modern luxury accessories and lifestyle collections, goes to the dogs as it reveals its newest advertising campaign. Titled “COACH PUPS,” the new campaign features canine stars in a series of portraits photographed by Steven Meisel. It launches this month with Miss Asia Kinney, the adorable four-legged companion of Lady Gaga.

The campaign celebrates the dogs in our lives and captures the pups’ unique personalities as they “model” Coach’s Fall 2015 star bags. Additional PUPS staring in the campaign will be revealed shortly. Miss Asia Kinney, Lady Gaga’s now famous French Bulldog has amassed a substantial social media following in only a few short weeks. The Coach bags she elegantly models in the campaign are the Edie and the Rucksack.

Art directed by Fabien Baron and styled by Karl Templer, COACH PUPS will appear in print, online and on outdoor media globally starting in July.

Lady Gaga commented: “I am so proud of Miss Asia! She’s a natural in front of the camera, and we’re both so excited that the iconic Steven Meisel shot her for Coach’s pup campaign! I really love getting to watch my best friend be a star.”

Stuart Vevers, Creative Director at Coach comments, “’I’ve never had so much fun on a shoot. The combination of Mr. Meisel and the pups was an extraordinary, surreal, special moment. We wanted to create playful images that make you smile. We were inspired by some images from the Coach archive, which featured Eddie—the dog that starred in the TV series Frasier—to create something joyful, with humor and character. That’s a spirit that’s uniquely at the heart of Coach.”

This new initiative will also introduce the social campaign #coachpups, including a range of online activities for fellow dog fanciers, opportunities for Instameets, special talks and other events hosted by the great and the good of the canine world. This will also mark the debut of the Coach Snapchat account.

Coach has made a donation to Chicago French Bulldog Rescue (frenchieporvous.org) on behalf of Miss Asia Kinney and her devoted owner.
