Memorial Day Style Guide

Memorial Day Style Guide by ubetterwork featuring Christian Louboutin Open Toe Wedge Sandals

Hello Fashionistas!

Memorial Day is fast approaching, less that two weeks away. Does anyone have any fashionating plans? 

Quick post today to feature some Memorial Day Styles that you can wear if you have an outing planned. I looked back to when I last composed a Memorial Day post and it was here in 2013. Today I created 3 looks for 3 separate occasions.  I used my Spring Must-Haves for inspiration and the looks pretty much created themselves. I wanted to feature ruffles, stripes and off course florals, but not in a traditional sense, but in a matter of fact way. These different trends may be hot this Spring, but they can still be incorporated in your closet as staple pieces for future wear. We all know fashion tends to repeat itself, so why not be prepared. 

Which look is your favorite?

Superbowl Attire (LI)

Superbowl Attire (LI) by ubetterwork featuring Alexander McQueen wrap bracelet

Hello Fashionistas!

Superbowl LI is next Sunday. If you've read my other Superbowl posts, you know I've made no secret about it, I'm not a big fan of football (or sports in general), but I'm a huge fan of fashion. Whenever I go to a game, it's all about the game for the hubster, but it's all about the fashion for me. And, I like to people watch 😄. This post was not as creative as my others due to the colors being very similar. I can just imagine the stadium on game day, it's probably going to be a sea of red, silver and white, maybe spurts of black and blue here and there. Are you looking forward to the half-time show? Lady Gaga I'm sure will put on a spectacular performance - very theatrical and  fashionable.

Who are you rooting for? The Patriots or Falcons? Or, how about, which colors would you rather... be caught wearing that is?

Check out my post from previous years (here, here & here). The Patriots made it to the Superbowl again, woot woot! 

Thank you for reading and commenting! I truly appreciate it. Have a wonderful weekend!

Spring Must-Haves 2017

Spring Must-Haves 2017 by ubetterwork featuring a striped dress

Hello Fashionistas! It's almost Fri-yay! 

Today I'm featuring the trends that I feel will be popular this upcoming Spring based on what showed on the run-ways. 

There will be Florals. No surprise there. 

Bustiers will be making a come-back and I will be re-styling this little number. 

Stripes and Culottes. Khakis and Trench Coats. Single Shoulder Cut-Outs and Wordy Tees. Wedges and High Heels. Simple but elegant Loafers. The Ruffles were a pleasant surprise, but I must admit I'm excited to post an upcoming look.

How will you be fashionating this upcoming Spring?

Today, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all our military personnel, past and present. Thank you for fighting, and continuing to fight, for our freedom. All that you have sacrificed has not been in vain. I appreciate you! I salute you! I thank you!

Side note: Went to an amazing photo shoot today, I can't wait to share with you guys.

Happy Memorial Day!

What's Trending Now

What's Trending Now by ubetterwork featuring casadei heels

                       

The cut-out waist dress is my new favorite thing. They're also available in the hi-low design (hi-low is still on trend).  Pastels are haute right now; from nail polishes, make-up, clothes and accessories. There is something about these colors that makes me feel like an adolescent again - in a really girly way. The coral, River Island skirt is flirty and fun,  paired with a colorful bracelet or heels. The black & white look has been a staple in my closet for years; now that the celebrities have caught on to this trend, you see it everywhere (like the way I just gave myself credit for starting a trend? lol!). Polka dots are still on trend; and this polka dot Luichiny is so chic with the ankle strap. I thought I was up on all the latest trends until the other day when I was watching The Wendy Williams show and she had a style expert on talking about "greige". What is greige? It is a color blend of "gray" and "beige". The Chloe bag above is a fabulous example of how this neutral color can blend in with any color palette. Share with me your thoughts on the latest tends - likes? dislikes?

Hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather. Unfortunately, soon I'll be complaining about the heat, so until then I'm embracing the warmth. 

Superbowl Attire

Today is Superbowl Sunday. How exciting for you football fans! =) Especially if one of the above teams is one that you are a die-hard fan of. Whether you are rooting for the 49ers or the Ravens, can we agree that both teams have great color choices to work with? metallic gold is in almost all women's closets, if not a clothing item, definitely a piece of jewelry. Black of course is a gift from the fashion god, very slimming, chic and always a staple. Are we looking forward to the half-time show (Go Beyonce!) and the commercials? Let me know what your thoughts are, only if it relates to fashion. Just kidding! :)

Have a Fa-ball-ous Superbowl Sunday!

Guys, take note...

Guys, take note... by ubetterwork featuring a x armani exchange

The ladies have spoken. The above items were compiled from a survey I conducted earlier (thank you ladies for answering so promptly). Guys, these are the items that you should be looking for, especially, if your special someone expects more than a gift card - which are great- they just don't show much thought. Now of course, you should always get a gift return receipt with every purchase. The items above can be found online, if you hate the malls this time of year or all year-round.

Also, check out firmoo.com/free-glasses if you would like to get her or yourself a pair of stylish glasses for FREE. See my Review Here.

Ladies, a little help to get one of these gifts under the Christmas tree: Pull up this post and leave it open on his screen. Then make a comment on the items that you really like when he asks "what is this doing up"?

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog :)
