OOTD: RED WHITE AND BLUE FLORAL

HEY STYLISTAS!!!!

I know I know..its been a LONG time since I did an outfit post.
I can only say that grad school is a killer but that's still no excuse to not bring you guys the business!!! I really miss sharing my style with you guys but I kept putting it off because school, my mini me, family/friends or sickness (will tell you about that later) kept getting in the way of creating bomb ass photos. So I decided to make a date with my stylistas to give you guys some eye candy.

I got a room at the FAB Fairmont hotel in Brooklyn and and snapped some amazing photos in their lobby. How perfect was this room for my outfit!!! Can I just say that I had some staff turning heads but what an amazing feeling to be back in front of the camera.

The red what and blue print on print is just what I need to kick start spring 2017!!! I love everything about this print and the mixing and matching I will do with other things in my closet will extend the life of these for a very long time. .

Kept my accessories simple to accentuate the silver buttons of the shirt but had to break out my red heels and blue bag to tie the colors together.

Trust and believe I will try my best to not stay away so long. But there's more to come.

TRIBUTE TO FASHION ICON MICHELLE OBAMA...

With less than 10 days until the Obama Family leave the White House and we crawl into our beds crying wondering what we did wrong to end this relationship (lol), I wanted to look back on some better times.

From the first time I saw Michelle I fell in love with her style. Maybe it was our similar love for sleeveless fit and flare dresses, her serious yet quite demeanor or her need to smile when it was time to smile and not because the public said "you should smile more". Her personally was like gravity and her style was like silk to me. Strong, soft, flowing, non conforming and unmatched to any other. The more I saw her the more I wanted to see her.

Over the last 8 years her style grows, changes and matures as her children and husband has changed. She wore all of my my favorite designers and open my eyes to a few new ones as well.
To show how much I love Mrs. Obama style, I wanted to show my top 10 FLOTUS looks from the last 8 years.

1. Isabella Toledo on Obama 2008 inaugural walk through Washington
The fact that she chose Toledo on such a special day let me know I had found my new fashion Icon

2. Christian Siriano @ The Democratic Convention

3. Missonni in Milan

4. Tom Ford

5. Jason Wu (this is now apart of a museum collection....a MUSEUM people!!!)

6.Thome Browne (you know I screamed when I saw her wearing Thome)

7. Naeem Khan

8. Jason Wu (again)

9. Kenzo (Can we all look so polish & amazing stepping off a plane)

10. Versace
(The president said to her "They not looking at me" #damerightobama)

First Ladies of the past were known to wear one designer over and over again. FLOTUS Michelle changed the fashion of first ladies by doing the exact opposite. Mrs. Obama ambition to feature American fashion designer or young and upcoming designers was not lost to me. She mixed high end designers with off the rack. She wore sneakers, jeans and shorts, which was something never seen before. She was colorful, polish, and bold. All the making of a style icon.

I will miss Michelle representing the US as our first lady but I know there is more style to come.

NYFW: CHRISTIAN SIRIANO+ LANE BRYANT FALL COLLECTION PRESENTATION

"What's really great about the collection is we're really celebrating a variety of things on the runway today,"

"We're celebrating color and vibrancy and diversity and lots of women can really wear these clothes."

C. SIRIANO

With the American CDFA award winning designer having plus size models in his NYFW show, Siriano is turning the fashion world eyes towards the plus size women.
I've know the designer to always push for models of every shape, size, color and nationality. Very happy that he is getting everything he always wanted and making the industry take notice.

Coming off of his well received private label showing, Lane Bryant gave a party for people to see and speak to the designer and celebrate the newest collection with Lane Bryant.

EFR came from Florida for this event!!!! Love it!!!!

MODEL SANDWICH!!!!

I also got a chance to try on some of the collection.

Dress was inspired by the dress worn by Danielle Brooks during Spring 16 fashion show

Love this leather jacket!!!!

OOTD: WHITE DRESS & HUMMING BIRDS

Good Friday stylistas.

Can I say how much I love this white dress. I love all white dresses though. It has always been my beloved item to put on in summer time. Yes it requires a lot more attention but it looks amazing and lets me know that summer is here.

This dress is from the C. Siriano collection from Lane Bryant. I fell in love with it as soon as I put it on. The flare sleeve, the band of sheer at the bottom and the fact that its a shirt dress(allowing me to button as many or as few buttons as I like) is that extra touch I needed.

Marlina Collection Statement necklace

I paired the dress with pumps, my clutch bag, shades and statement jewelry.

This dress maybe a repeat offender to the blog. Its so so good and the fabric is amazing for summer. I can see me wearing it over and over again. Thank you again Christian for making this for this Brooklyn girl.

OOTD: HOUNDSTOOTH DRESS AND PINK LEATHER (C. SIRIANO+LB OUTFIT)

HELLO MY STYLISTAS! By now I know you guys are heading out of town to start your long weekend. So for you guys have a safe vacay and take care of yourself.

My outfit of the day comes from the C. Siriano Collaboration with Lane Bryant.
I am so in love with this pink jacket (this is my fave shade) and was a perfect match to the heart shape neck line of this swing dress. The pattern is eye catching and amazing. It was a bit tighter then I imagine so if you plan on getting this dress PLEASE try on. You may need to size up as I did.

I kept in my color scheme with my make up and did an ultra fem matte pink lip.

Complement my dress with my turquoise necklace and bracelet and kept all other jewelry simple.

CHRISTIAN SIRIANO/LANE BRYANT RUNWAY SHOW AND THE EMPOWERING WOMEN SUMMIT

Yesterday, I was rooftop of the United Nations watching the most beautiful collection from one of my most beloved designer and my most loved brand.

After a bit of confusion as to what building to head too, a long maze of clearance (this is the UN!!!) and a "I just love you" to plus male model Zack Miko, I walked out to NYC sky line, bright sunshine and a beautiful grass runway.

PHOTO VIA ESTRELLA FASHION REPORT

In NEC WORLD, I was running late so I had very little time to take photos of celebrities/stylist BUT here are a few

With kisses and hellos from my blogger boos (some of whom I haven't seen in a while) I sat down ready to see the collection. Even though the collection is already in store, fashion shows from Siriano is never simple. I hope to see some concept pieces and maybe even some items made available later in store (cross fingers)
