Alexander McQueen Illustration Sketch Dress

You know I’ve featured Tamron on my blog before. Her team of stylists is ON IT. When I was watching the episode where she was questioning Stassi Schroeder and offering her a moment to issue an apology for her racial insensitivity–it was compelling, but I couldn’t take my eyes of tTamron in this dress. I love that it can be dressed up with heels or down with a cute pair of ballet flats. Listen, maybe even a pair of white cConverse. I am smitten with the flounce of it. Hey, I don’t want to go on and on–but I love it. There I said it. This dress is a “need” not a want.

American Eagle: The Best Fitting Jeans

I looooove American Eagle jeans. They get 5 Stars from me! You have NO IDEA how long I’ve been looking for a pair of ripped jeans to pair with a biker jacket for a photo shoot. I spent the entire summer looking. I’ve been to all the regular spots, Gap, Old Navy and even big box stores, but there was nothing that caught my eye or fit well over my hips. 

One of the major complaints about jeans nowadays is that they’re not straight denim, they have stretch and can look like jeggin’s when you put them on but these were durable and original jean material with no stretch and when I ordered my size–they arrived and I put them on and they fit perfecto!

When they came all the rips hit in the right place. They had some faded spots but I wanted them a tad light so I had to bleach them to fade them more. I’m currently on a diet regimen so after I wore them I went back on their website and ordered a size down because I know I’m going to be living in these. So smitten with this brand! You can order them here.

The Solange Elevator Dress (Let’s Revisit)

I was scrolling Facebook yesterday and happened on Solange and Beyonce. The video was talking about their bond as sisters and how they come to each other’s defense without delay. Then I remembered the gorgeous dress Solange wore when that whole “elevator thing” happened with her and Jay-Z. I won’t rehash that–I just wanted to revisit the dress. I may need to recreate that. I don’t know the designer, but I need it in my life.

Crushing on YSL (Tribute Sandals)

Normally when I set a goal for myself and follow through on my goal–I treat myself to something nice. Call it motivation. For the average person that perk might be cheesecake, lunch with the girls where YOU pay or a full body massage that includes a mani and pedi. I opted for YSL Tribute Sandals. Go figure. I’ve been eying them for a minute. I love a platform shoe because it gives the illusion of a higher heel without feeling like you’re walking in a stilleto. These shoes are so comfy y’all. Actually I have wooden stretchers for all of my shoes so that the stretchers do the breaking in on new shoes–not my feel. Anyway, I adore these. I remember years ago when I was spending like crazy on shoes, but I’ve since learned quality is so much better than quantity. They come in a variety of colors. YSL is is my new favorite brand.
