Jason Wu Spring 2014 RTW: Easy Glamour
Jason Wu stunned audiences during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week with his glitzy shimmering designs.
He provided show attendees with a style call, “easy glamour” where trendsetters can feel beautiful and chic in comfortable garments. From slip dresses to corsets, this collection provided a variety of looks that can transform from day to night.
According to Vogue Magazine, Wu stated “I wanted the body to speak for itself. Let the fabric do the magic.” And he achieved just that!

Building a professional wardrobe that’s affordable and timeless can be a difficult task but purchasing the right pieces can also be an investment.
Very often, your career will dictate a variety of social affairs such as attending an office meeting, company picnic, or even a happy hour.

Today’s nail color is from Essie Fall 2013 Collection titled Afterschool Boy Blazer.
Apparently, this color lives by the mantra that navy is the new black. Can’t wait to purchase my bottle and try this new shade.

VMA’s 2013 Fashionable Moments: The Editor’s Likes and Issues…Let’s Talk About It!
The Video Music Awards is one of the most fashionable moments where a music artist can shine.
Celebrities can push the limits while introducing a new trend or bring back a touch of “rock and roll” glamour.
And then there’s the select few that leave us confused and wondering what happened to their look. Needless to say, no matter how it’s addressed, fashion’s a huge component of the VMA’s and it’s always fun to recap the selections that we saw (on our television screens.)
Photos below are from Elle Magazine.
Ciara
My Like: The dress is very couture and her body looks great! The bead work mixed with orstrich feathers looks amazing. My Issue: This is very similiar to a look we have seen at another event.
Miley Cyrus
My Like: The beading stitched on the top and leggings looks gorgeous. My Issue: I am not sure what’s going on with her hairstyle (looks very pre – k) and maybe a pair of stilletos would’ve pulled this look together.
Taylor Swift
My Like: Taylor looks very grown up and elegant. My Issue: This entire look would be great for the Oscars. She could’ve pushed the limits a bit more.
Ellie Goulding
My Like: She did it just right! The spikes on her dress add a touch of rock and roll also her nude pumps are the exact shade of her dress which elongates her torso. My Issue: I don’t have any issues with this look!
Rita Ora
My Like: The tail on this dress is very eye catching with orstrich feathers and a beautiful shade of blue. The bodice also stands out because it’s completely beaded with a plunging neckline. My Issue: This hairstyle has been seen on another artist (smile.)
Selena Gomez
My Like: She did it just right! Her hair style and dress fit looks perfect. And I like the trend of wearing a hint of lingerie. My Issue: I don’t have any issues with this look!
Joan Smalls
My Like: The chanel boots look great with her legs and skirt length. My Issue: This look is a bit premature for the celebrity.
Lady Gaga
My Like: This is a very cohesive look. She gave us the exact amount of “goth” with a hint of feminity with an oversized bow and heart shape neckline. My Issue: I don’t have any issues with this look!
Jennifer Hudson
My Like: The houndstooth print (which I think is also leather) coordinates well with her skirt and pumps. My Issue: I don’t have any issues with this look!

Wearing my TWO 7 SEL Tshirt and Supporting the Speed Hustle Brand
Two months ago I received a tshirt from my cousin in law’s (Chico) entertainment brand Speed Hustle. The shirts from his brand are edgey and speak directly to the hearts of all that are on their “daily hustle.”
The phrase “being on your daily hustle” can refer to anyone who’s motivated and inspired by what they do professionally. From a sales associate working in a local retail store or CEO of a technology company, we are all on our Speed Hustle.
I decided to style my TWO 7 SEL (which is a representation of Selma, Alabama) tshirt with a pair of thrifted denim shorts, fishnet tights, and black lace – up booties. The make up for this photo was a smokey eye and black cherry lipstick. This was a fun look for me and look forward to more tshirt designs from his brand.
