Do I feel ... a breeze??

Houston, Tx baaaabay!... is extremely hot.
Now that we have that understood, I (along with the rest of my peers according to facebook) were all pleasantly suprised when we got some grrreat weather today...it was about 88 degrees! You have to be from the south to understand my excitement. This much needed change in climate couldnt have come at a better time since just yesterday I cleaned out my closet. I did not realize how much clothes, shoes, clutches, bags ect. I actually owned untill yesterday. I had so much summer clothing all I needed was a few items and I could make it through the fall, winter, spring and back to summer again without darkening the door of a clothing store. Tootsipopdoll gives us her example of how to create new winter looks with what is already in your closet in the video below.

A few extra accecories that youll need to make this transformation are

1.) Leggings
2.) boots
3.) longsleeved (under) shirts
4.) Scarves
5.) Cardigan and or jacket

add these items to your closet and have fun mixing and matching creatively to form your own unique winter style. Send in pics/ let me know what you come up with!

Love,

All Black Everything: Rihanna Spotted Shopping Yesterday in Australia.

Yesterday Rihanna was spotted out shopping in Australia. She decided to do so in an an outfit that is as elegant as you can get while still being able to call it casual. She paired the silk button down - i just threw on my dad/ boyfriends shirt real quick- dress with all black (except for the red bottoms of course) Louboutin heels, and a... what?...anklet. I haven't looked at an ankle bracelet since I was still wearing a uniform and waiting on my mom to drive me to school. Im no meteorologist, but I spy an ankle bracelet trend forecaaast. Will ankle bracelets end up in your jewelery box this summer or is that a trend you'll kindly pass on?

Love,

I hope you still like me....Eff you. Pay me. Beyonce releases Run the World (Girls) Official Full Video.

Today Beyonce premiered her newest video for her single Run the World (Girls) on American Idol. (if you missed it, or didn’t get enough of it, watch it here) The Francis Lawrence –directed video is a 4:51 minute fast fashion show to go. While staying true to her feminine style, Bey managed to also toughen up her usual sexy look by including pieces by Alexander McQueen, Gareth Pugh, Norma Kamali, Emilio Pucci, Sergio Rossi and Givenchy. My favorite? Why the yellow Emilio Pucci gown of course. Ms. Knowels – Carter made the gown her own by adding, or should I say subtracting alterations to parts of the dress that she felt was unnecessary. The fabric that once covered her hips all the way down to the ankles obviously didn’t make the cut. I prefer the original (shown below) better, however. What do you think?

Love,

Beyonces highly anticipated new album entitled "4" will be out this summer.

I stay stacking.

It’s Friday night. A mess has been made of your closet floor because, aside from your countless dresses, tops, jeans and shoes... which are preventing the door from being able to fulfill one of its chief purposes- closing- you "don’t have anything to wear". Don’t ask me how I know. Stacking will rescue you from this moment, if you let it. Stacking is achieved by layering jewelry. Big bracelets or bangles, slim bracelets or even watches can be stacked going as far up the arm as you want them to and can be paired with a simple outfit (& heels of course :p) and viola. There’s your outfit. Whether you have something to wear...
or not.

Love,

Monday

Clutch city ...its not just in Houston.

If your blesssed enough to be able to call yourself a Houston native ;) you know that Clutch City is one of its many nicknames. (Clutch city is a play on the phrase Choke city. The Houston Rockets were given the name during their, for lack of a better phrase, glory days. Quick history lesson.) Now a days however, Houston is not the only city catching on to the newest clutch trend. Revamped versions of the clutch wallet/ purse are being seen on women everywhere, from the runways to everyday casual wear. Personally, oversized clutches are my love. I wallow in the wonderfulness of a clutch being big enough to slouch or extend over the front and back of my arm. You may, on the other hand, prefer a medium sized clutch, a small or tiny one. If so, there are plenty of sizes, designs and brands for you to choose from that can top off and upgrade both your dressy and or casual outfit.

Love,
