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?  

Sales: 
Calvin Klein extra 40% OFF | Coach up to 50% OFF

Happy Memorial Day Everyone!

#NordstromJax: Media Preview Day

Hello Fashionistas! Today is hump-day! I'm so excited about the Gala tonight at #NordstromJax I can't contain myself. This day couldn't get here fast enough. Looking forward to the fashion show, live entertainment and Catering by Liz (refresh your memory here).  But first, here is a quick recap (have to get ready for the Gala) of the Media Preview Day that took place yesterday. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably have already seen some of these pics, I wanted you guys to share in this experience with me on #TheNordstromJaxTour.  

The women's dressing room is so comfortable and cozy.

#CosmopolitanChic @ The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

Hello Fashionistas! Hope everyone had a fashionating weekend. This past Friday was my mother's birthday and dinner party on Saturday. Everyone had a wonderful time, eating lots of good Jamaican food and dancing to reggae music until the wee hours. Did I mention I was the house DJ? Not sure how it came about, but I took my job seriously and gave the people what they wanted. Everything from Beres Hammond, Capleton to Beenie Man. 

Now it's back to the work week. I was approached to complete a #CosmopolitanChic challenge by the content director of Vegas.com for The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. I wanted to create Three (3) different looks, around one (1) staple piece; This Balmain dress. My idea was to create an easy transition throughout the day while enjoying Brunch at Wicked Spoon (above) to dinner at Jaleo (below) and ending the night at Marquee night club (final pic). 

Jaleo

Marquee Night Club

During the day I wanted to keep the look a bit modest (I know, we are talking about Vegas here, lol) by putting a cover-up over this little number. The cover -up is sleeveless and has vents because we all know how hot it is in Vegas. A pair of comfortable flats for walking around, taking in the sites and some light shopping before dinner. Notice the large bag (in first pic), perfect for carrying around your camera, iPad, and cell phone. Have you seen the new iPhone 6 plus? Enough said. I really like the wrap watch because the band looks like stacked bracelets. With this watch you don't have to add any extra arm candy, therefore less to pack. The second look, I kept most of the pieces, but changed out  the flats for wedges, the big bag for a small clutch and added a darker lip color. A nice dinner for two in a family friendly restaurant. Third and final look is for going out to the night club. An over-the-knee boot with ventilation (still keeping in mind the heat), choker neckless, drop earrings, darker nail polish and you are set to dance the night away. 

What do you think of my different looks? Any suggestions?
