High Style in Motor City ::Fashion In Detroit


I don't get excited about much but I was certainly excited about attending "Fashion in Detroit" two Saturdays ago. I got the pleasure of going to this amazing Fashion event showcasing an array of local and national designers; including, headliner, Joe Farris -well known for his appearance on Project Runway.

 The ultra chic atmosphere of Motor City Casino's Sound Board provided the perfect backdrop for this elaborate high fashion event. This gorgeous location was later transformed into a huge club for the official FID after-party. This girl can never resist good music and a huge dance floor, so needless to say- I danced the night away. Happy Feet!!!


My gorgeous friend, Momo Hebert was my date for this fashion filled event

Attended by local celebs, bloggers and fashionistas, this event spewed with major hot fashion. Sitting catwalk side, I was completely enthralled by the incredible runway action. Here are some of my favorites of the night:

My Style

Before the event, I sneaked in some photographs for the blog. I have to say the dress was a last minute decision but a non-brainer. I always manage to feel very confident in red. The cut-outs are my favorite features of this dress, and pleats give a cute playful air to the outfit.

 Happy Sunday!
               Hope you guys are having a great labor day weekend so far.
As some of you know, I had a birthday about a week ago. For most of us, a birthday is a time to reflect on our lives so far, to look back on our accomplishments and how they have measured up to our goals. Most of the time, we can be very hard on ourselves. This is especially true for me.

 For a change, this year I counted my blessings, and for one day allowed myself to be only thankful, "no regrets", no "what ifs", no "I wish" (expect when I blew out my candles). Just completely at peace. For all of you that wished me a happy one, thank you so much.

August Rush: Sequins and Leather skirt


Hello loves,



 It feels like this month just flew by. Can't remember a shorter August.
For me, the end of August always comes with a sense of  melancholy since it  marks the beginning of the end of summer. Since I live in Michigan, I bet you can imagine why. However, there are things to look forward to such as my birthday, which is tomorrow, the blog- anniversary and those beautiful Fall colors.

Before we say goodbye to summer. I wanted to take this cute leather skirt for a spin. I've had it for months and never got to wear it. I think there is something very powerful yet feminine about pink leather. Best of both worlds I say.

Girly in Tulle

  Hello Loves!
   










Today, I am taking this very feminine tulle number for a twirl.  It is very natural for us to reach for those silver accessories when wearing grey because they go so well, but I opted for some gold accents for some juxtaposition to this outfit. As well as a pop of color with the pink pumps.

I added texture and a little bit of an edge with the faux leather jacket. Also perfect for warding off those summer late night chills.

Patterned in Black and White

      Hello Guys,
         Today, my love for black and white continues as I mix patterns. I'm wearing a Peter Pilotto for Target skirt which I've had for months, just waiting for it's moment in the spotlight. It almost feels like I've been saving it for something special but then I feel that way about most of the contents in my closet. So no more waiting. Why wait? Every moment should be as special as the next.






                               
                                                           Happy Friday!!

Midi Dress

 
 
     Hello Guys,
     Just a quick hello before the weekend begins. It feels like the longest week ever, so I can't wait for the weekend.
     This post features one of my steals from Macy's. Spent less than $10. Yay Sale! As we reach the last months of summer, lots of stores have end of summer sales and we get the urge to buy, buy, buy. The trick is figuring out what you can still wear into the winter and maybe even next summer as well, to get more bang for your buck.
Have a lovely weekend.

Independence in Structure: Red, White and Blue

Hey Guys!
          It's the 4th of July and I cannot help but think about "Independence"- this great Country's Independence and especially our own personal Independence. To most, this may mean a whole lot of different things depending on one's life journey. When I was a kid, it meant taking walks by myself. As a teenager, picking out my own outfits.
This magic word means even more to me now than ever- Reaching my goals and being truly free. Today, my wish for us all is to find that ultimate happiness, whatever that might be and to be truly free.





      About the look
     Using structure and statement pieces, I Incorporated "red, white and blue" to create a classy chic look appropriate for the festivities but without looking like a costume.
