Weekend Brights

This weekend was pretty eventful. I had an iced coffee/ice cream date with mom on Saturday. The weather was so nice, I wanted my look to reflect that by color blocking red and pink. On Sunday, I hit up the 40/40 Nightclub to watch the Superbowl. While I'm not a football fan, I attended anyway for the entertainment value. I'm originally from New England, but live in NY so I had to cause a bit of controversy rooting the Patriots. Loll. It was all in fun. We New Yorkers sure came together when the Giants won. At the end of the night, there was a Jay-Z spotting who owns the club as well.

Shoe Crush

Bling & Brights

Random jewels and ASOS Envelope Clutch (here's a similar style here.)

I usually don't pile on alot of jewels so early in the morning. I was feeling exceptionally feisty that day. I was in a great mood and wanted my accessories to reflect that. That was the first time I had worn orange nail polish. I kinda liked it.

Tangerine Tango

Longsleeve Tops by Ann Taylor
Flats by J.Crew

This past weekend we had our first snow storm in NY. The only thing I seem to think about was spring fashion. It was the only way to beat stuck in the house during the storm. Two words: online shopping browsing. I found this striped reddish orange top. According to Pantone, the color of the year is Tangerine Tango which is a reddish orange so the top was very fitting. This color will compliment and look great paired with other brights like pink.

Will you be rocking Tangerine Tango?

Get The Look: Kim Kardashian

Say what you want about Kim K, but the girl can dress her azz off. While she likes sexy, body hugging dresses, I like when she goes a bit conservative but trendy. She was spotted in Cali rocking a See by Chloe color block blouse and cream colored trousers. She tops off her look with the classic Chanel 2.55 bag.

Any thoughts?

Here's how you can get her look:

Code Yellow

Color blocking is a trend that has been around for a couple of seasons. The focal point in this post is yellow and putting together a casual outfit around it. A color block sweater, boyfriend jeans and bright pumps creates a stylish and uber cool look.

Is this look hot or not?

Nothing lifts up a mood better than a little sparkle on your nails. With New Year's Eve around the corner, that's the best time to go all out with sequins, glitter and glitz. You can save money by opting to do your manicure yourself. I'm rocking this manicure for NYE. Here are a few nail polishes Fashionistaz need in their beauty bar.

FYI: When removing glitter polish, soak cotton balls in nail polish remover and place on each nail. Wrap each nail in aluminum foil and let is sit for about 5 minutes. Then press down and pull the foil and cotton off your nails. Your nails will be free from glitter.

How To: Wear A Tulip Skirt For Evening Wear

EJae — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 11:02:23 EST

I've been pretty fond of tulip skirts for sometime. The pleated detailing is eye catching. I'd be perfect to wear out on the town. Rihanna and Kerry Washington's short lengths and colors are great for the warmer months. This longer version and color are perfect for the witnter months.

In this case, by keeping the outfit simple with a silk cami, you can accessorize with standout pieces (like these earrings). You'll create an outfit that is uniquely yours.

Mission Accomplished

I had compiled a list of a few things I needed to add to my closet. With all the craziness frm Versace x H&M, I figured I wouldn't get anything. I woke a 5am last Saturday and did what any Fashionista would do- head to the city and try to pick up a few pieces. I went to a smaller store so it wasn't as hectic and it was very organized. Plus a new mani and fuschia lipstick didn't hurt either.

Winterizing the Closet

EJae — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 08:42:45 EST

On the East Coast, the temps have been in the 60s which makes it pretty hard to remember that we are in the winter season. While I refuse to change my coat (I'm currently rocking this style), I do lighten up on the layers. I believe you don't have to purchase an entire new wardrobe. A few additions can spice up the closet. Here is how I winterized mine:

{Jeweled plaid}

{Sequin beret}

{Trying on leather and lace gloves}

{Chevron stripe faux-fur jacket}
