floral (143)

Fashion shows come and go, but our team's striving for perfection has touched me deeply and inspired me to keep the faith that fashion is not about acting in accord with the prevailing standards and attitudes but creating my own standard of beauty and move on to my next step with strict confidence.

Thousand thanks to make up artist and headpiece/accessory designer Angel Wong, founder of Angel Wong Image and her team member hair stylist Tammy for getting me ready to walk the Women's Day Fashion

Easy Chic, Kimono.

1_1000.jpg
Recently I was approached by one of the leading clothing retailers out of the UK called ARK. I pursued the site and fell for this floral kimono. I love an easy piece that can make a statement all by itself. Especially one that adds some color to this sometimes still grey weather. (Spring come now!). 
I throw this on over all black or make it fun with some color underneath. When the weather does finally warm, I wear it with shorts, similar to what I did here on Instagram. That post was actually ch

Dark Floral Fashion Trend

Dark Floral Fall Fashion Trend

Spring and summer months are known for whimsical, light-hearted floral prints. But the fall fashion trends we’re seeing this year are a radical departure from the bright, sunny shades of summer. This season we’re being enchanted with enigmatic dark florals.

How To Wear The Dark Floral Fashion Trend

The dark floral fall fashion trend for 2013 is reminiscent of old world style, an era that evoked passion and power. Sumptuous fabrics (like silk and velvet) combine with fall’s rich colored prints to c

Black and White Roses

8843215654?profile=original8843216101?profile=originalLook of The Day.  I'm making attempts to stay on top of my blog, but life has gotten in the way lately. Though my schedule is crazy busy, I had a window of opportunity today to go out and get some blog images. I didn't go for anything spectacular. The goal was to get images. I hope to post more images soon. #Black #White #Print #Rose #Dress

Recognize Talent When You See It.

Yesterday I got to spend some quality time with a friend who also just happens to design some pretty chic clothes. Genoveva Christoff first caught my eye 2 years ago when I was writing an article on her. I stopped mid-writing to contact her and she ended up making me a custom piece. 
Genoveva first showed in CMH Fashion Week's Finale Show, then was hand picked by Barney's Simon Doonan to show in NY at Lincoln Center's Diet Pepsi Style Studio show in 2012. 
So proud of you my friend!

Hats & Flowers.

I've been on a blazer kick for the past few months. I should also mention that I'm having a floral moment too. So when I first saw this blazer, I had to have it. 
I've worn it under my oxblood leather blazer, under a drapey sweater and of course alone. Can't wait to take this into Spring!

High-End vs. Affordable Fashion: Spring 2013 Trends

It's been called "Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony." [Quote: Pantone] Taking a cue from the glimmering, magical city of Oz, emerald is being heralded by Pantone as the Color of the Year 2013. 
 
With it's rich vibrance, emerald is a brilliant shade of green that echoes the first awakenings of spring. Now that we're moving out of the darkness of winter into the bright sunshine-filled days of spring, it's a great time to
