SCAD Inspired (Part II)

Hello Fashionistas! 
How is your weekend so far? It's Martin Luther King Day tomorrow, so that means the day off for a lot of folks. What will you be doing?

 These are the remainder of the photos from our photo shoot last week at SCAD. My cousin was the creative director and Erica Hawes was the photographer & comedian - see my behind the scenes youtube videos - for the day.

After all the hard work, we went to eat at a "funky" cafe called The Funky Brunch Cafe. The food was delicious and the best part is, they serve coconut pancakes, yum! 👍

So cold!

Milly in Winter

Hello Fashionistas!

The weekend is coming to an end as I compose my thoughts for this post 😞. Hope you all enjoyed. As for me, it was so hectic, it seems likes all the stores were jam-packed and double the typical number of vehicles were on the road. It was a mess!
Since it's the holidays, I wanted to do a shoot that reflected the season. I don't think I've ever done a blog post like this before. I looked in my closet and picked out the obvious red coat, tried to find a green dress, however this Milly jumped out at me. The dress itself is not meant for the Winter, it's a Spring-Summer "ensemb"; It has spaghetti straps and a beautiful bow on the back, which I did not display this go-round. Maybe this upcoming Spring. Dusted off my Altuzarra over-the-knees (I haven't worn these boots much), found a scarf that happened to be red and out the door I went. 

After the shoot, I had errands to run (as usual) and I switched the coat for a fitted blazer; the boots for a flat-heeled boot and it really changed the outfit drastically. I think I could wear the same look to a business meeting next. I love a multi-functioning piece. I've only worn this dress once and it was to a fancy affair, & now I'll definitely have it in rotation for other functions instead of just for fancy shindigs. Money well-spent! 😊

Altuzarra: All about the Boots!

Hello Fashionistas! Humpday is here. How is your week going? 

This is my first post since the weekend so bear with me while I ask the question, how was your weekend? My weekend was not fashionating, but it was great. I saw an amazing movie on Sunday, Before I Go To Sleep, starring Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth. This movie made my weekend. It had barely any publicity or hoopla surrounding it; the hubster and I actually stumbled upon it accidentally. We pretty much had the entire movie theater to ourselves, it was so empty. However, this is one of the best movies I've seen all year. Filled with the right dose of suspense, mystery and intrigue. I loved it! I don't want to give anything away, but basically Nicole's character is an amnesiac trying to piece together the past 10 years (give or take) of her life. If you have seen this movie, let me know what you think. 

 The OOTD is the casual look that I chose to put together from this post. I again got thrown off by the weather and was going to do the pictures yesterday but it was a bit warm. It was even warmer today, hence the single pic in the down jacket (I couldn't take it). Since the look I created included the jacket, I wanted to add it in at least one of the pics. What do you guys think?

(Above) I look like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, lol.

DvF & Altuzarra

Hello Fashionistas! 

How is your weekend going so far? Today was so cold and windy. Brrr! On my last blog post I was mentioning a drop in the temperature would be nice, wasn't expecting such a drastic change. But, I'll take it. I have an over-the-knee boot I've been eager to wear. Actually, when I realized how cold it was today, I was going to do the look I chose from the last post, however, in honor of Diane von Furstenberg coming to E! with her reality show, I put that look on the back burner. Anyone that knows me well, knows that I love my reality shows, whether they are considered ratchet, a waste of time or horrible TV, I'm  a fan.

 House of DvF premieres Sunday, Nov. 2nd at 10PM on E! (I've actually seen the first episode on OnDemand). Will you be watching?

This look is one that I would wear to church or a religious service. It is very modest, sensible and classic (black & white is such a staple). The wrap dress is what DvF is known for and with this top you can see a glimpse of that. I've wrapped this top several different ways in the past and I love the versatility it gives me when pairing with different bottoms.
