Bad Chick- More of the V- Beckham...

Haha I did not realize the first blog I wrote about the lovely Miss Victoria Beckham would be my number 1 viewed blog.. 550 views to be exact in less than a month of me posting that blog. So I decided to give my audience more of what they love to read from my blog..

FYI: Its not a hidden secret that I love fashion and styling. If you actually pay attention to the women I write about in my blogs, youll see that some of their styles are very similar, but yet soo different. The key to styling is taking something that someone would never try on or wear, and make that piece special to your look. I think this is one of the reasons why I hate when people try to rock thesame exact style of clothes that fit me, more of the reason is because they like the way I stunt it. Which is fine, but do what looks right for your personal look.  I have seen that many women look up to victoria beckham for inspiriation in style. To me that is what you should do. Check out someone you admire for their threads, instead of trying to copy that same exact look, use that look as an inspiration to alter for your own personal style.
.
Picture above.. Ok first and foremost I am a huge fan of hats. I love hats.. Yes I do have a whole drawl, neatly stacked full of all types of hats.. I am more of a drivers hat and fidora big brim hat type of chick.. This Fidora above that Victoria is wearing is all types of fabulous.. Brand: YSL....
I am super in love with this Coat. This is what makes me wish I did not live in Cali, and lived in NY...Only because Cali does not have normal 4 seasons.. East Coast and even the Bay Area (Go figure) have the true 4 seasons. Which means that Fashion is really Fashion and not simi.. But maybe this is a good thing for me, because that means I would definitely be broke, buying the dopest everything for that specific season... Being able to really dress my ass off.. Cali just does not give me that opportunity :(... Oh WELL...
Great thing about this outfit is the loose fitting, tailored trousers..Again Bcbgeneration have some out right now- retail @ 108. Do exactly what Victoria did and match it with a tailored blazer. Or since we are in Spring right now, Drop the blazer and you can match these trousers with a silk camisole with open toes heels instead of closed toe... and go for lunch with your girls sitting outside taking in the scenery and fresh Cali air..
Here she goes again strunting through the airport in Christian Louboutins open toe booties.. Love it....

This Mod inspired dress is from V-Beckham's line. I am all about colors, Zara right now actually has all types of bright orange, Pinks, Blues, ect ect right now. The dresses are more of the Mod look. and the way some of the tailored blazers are made; they are very similar to that 70's inspired look.. I love that store...

This is another option than the picture above with the moth green trousers. Add a scarf and go.. Or you can make the look more preppy and add a the " Zac Morris" look. Meaning the sweater around the shoulder and neck.. acting as scarf...


DONE, NUFF SAID.. CHICK IS DE BADDEST....

Just SoYou Know.... Some REAL talk..

So this is a little off the record of just strickly fashion. But then again has to do with it..


JUST FYI: Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Etc designers of purses do NOT make you. Yes I have these things but that is not what defines me, nor should it define any chick who have these brands. I am soo beyond tired of seeing girls who think they are better than others because they are carrying around these purses. There is nothing more uglier, than seeing a chick who just started to have the cash flow to start buying the REAL purses,  and then have the nerve to walk around like she is now better than any other women around and talk about someone who can not afford them..

News flash: Materials do not make you better than someone else. and if you start to buy these brands and have to act like you da best chick around- then it actually shows nothing but you trying to be on a status game that you were not brought up with or even can relate to in any other form or fashion. STAY HUMBLE about all things you do and have, because one day you can be up, and the next day you can be down... Yes these designers do not come cheap, but really like my mom says " Mimi anybody can afford whatever they want, but the way they pay for it is the key"... If you use your months rent or your financial aid from school to afford it then you do not need to be walking around like you are better than any one else because you bought yourself an expensive purse, shoes or clothes..

The one thing I think I hate the most is when women do that and act like they are better than the next chick... If you are " trying to keep up with the JONESES" and then have a funky attitude like you are better than someone else, then you should be ashamed of your self. PLEASE stop if you are.. because reality is MATERIAL items do not make you..

Our society is soo caught up in that, and I have witnessed a few girls that think they are better than someone else, just because NOW they can afford to by something expensive..


I just hate that. So CHANGE your attitude if this is you.. Not a good look and trust me you can tell that you are not use too expensive items or of class by the way your swag is, the way you talk, and they way you carry urself. REGARDLESS of whatever designer your arm is holding up, you cant fake the real you.

PREACH.... Promise no more blogs like this. I just feel I should put it out there since I this is pertaining to a fashion/ stlying blog.

Bright ... Stand that out... :)

Hmm its been sometime, back from my vacay straight into blogging..


When I look at the color palette I am always soo drawn to bright ass colors. I think and have always felt that color can make your personality smile with out even actually having to make the facial expression. I believe this is why I love Spring and Summer so much, because these are the happy seasons even though they can be hot as hell most of the time. Trust me I am an avid shopper and shop every season like I never shop before, but for some reason I get like " A little kid in the Candy store" when Spring and Summer shopping comes around. I AM PRO BRIGHT ASS COLORS. 
 
J Brand can get a huge applause from me, for bringing the bright color denim back. They were around a few seasons back but I think some people went over board with trying to wear bright ass colored jeans..This action resulting in making me be a little (yuck status) for them. Most likely because of how some women's choices on what to pair these jeans with. Or some have washed the mess out the pants and the color begins to fade and looks way cheap when wore. Unless you are going for that faded look, then you are all good. But I believe when walking around you should wear a sign saying hey im going for the faded color look, so people can understand your outfit..

On another not,  I am in love with them for this season.

Above: I love that Kim wore them as the main attraction to her outfit. Normally pairing anything black with a bright color can make an outfit look hard, but the outfit still works; well actually this outfit works really well. But overall this is what you would want to do when you wear color denim.

Below: Khloe- hmm now this girl- quick note..  TOO TIGHT :(........ Although I like her more than her sisters, sometimes she forgets that she can not wear just anything. I feel that she sometimes forgets the size that she is, but thinks because she is a Kardashian, she can wear anything (even if its too tight) and get a away with it.  I do give her koodles for pairing these Red J brand denim retail @ 176.00 ,with a light washed denim button down and leopard belt and louboutins. This is probably the best example of how you would want to wear and match these color denim for Spring and Summer. The best part about these pants is that they are the thin material denim so in summer you will stay cool in them..
As many know that I am obessed with leopard so wearing leopard in an outfit ( when worn correctly) will always get my vote of approval.

This season is huge on light washed denim material button downs. They are making a huge come back and you can find them in almost any store. I just bought a sleeveless denim button down at BCBGeneration- Retaill @ 78.00. I also have a lot of light washed or stone washed denim button downs. I love to pair them with bright shorts, or color denim. or go simple as just wearing white denim with them and using my accessories to add color, or my shoes..

Tip outfit: Try these colors and outfit choices above, or if you are afraid to wear colored denim, wear white denim and sport a bright colored light weight scarf. When you go soft with the colors of your threads and go solid you can pop the color in your purse, earrings, necklaces and ect.. You can even use a regular button down top with a bright denim and natural flats or sandals for your everyday look...  NOTE:Usually when you wear a natural shoe always pair them with gold  or rose gold jewerly. Silver and natural just do not look right to me.

Some Goodmorning Style .....

Love the outfit and Bag, hate the hair..Rihanna has always been someone who I love to see dress up.. I love all of her clothes. She is very edgey and does not care what people say about her fits.. I love this outfit. Its very cool, relaxing and sophisticated at the same time.. Her bag is to DIE for and I definitely want it to be apart of my purse collection- Givenchy leopard print flap bag - retail @ $ 3415.000.. I WANT I WANT..
 This purse is made soo Beautifully and would look soo Beautiful on me.. I hate her red fire engine hair at this lenght.. It was way cuter when she was rocking a short hair style.. Anyways I love this fit and I love all things Rihanne.. Check out her style game.... CHECK
 Eva Marcille. This chick is doing something right because she has stepped her fashion game up seriously. Her bank account must be stacking up at every minute on the hour  too cause lately seems everything she wears cost over $5000 in shoes and ect... But I am not hating on this chick.. I love her and I think she is sooo Gorgeous.. Yes she was my fav TOPMODEL..
 Right here she is rocking the Louis Vuitton - Alma MM- Amarente color - retail @ $ 2250.00. I love this bag I want it in the Blanc Corail and Bleu Infini colors.. Only thing about this oufit that I do not like is the fact that she wore a crazy turban and I hate the free flowing blazer she wore with it.. Id perfer a more fitted open face blazer and wore it in a white or cream color. She paired this outfit with jeggings and the Versace S/S 2010 COLLECTION heels. See below..
I would rock this shoe.. I would just be worried about falling on my ass.. But see style of your own, you have to take risk.Who cares what people think or what they do not like.. But I love these shoes.. About a 6 inch heel and two inch platform base.. Her sunglasses are dope- They are by Oliver People Balmain.. Super cute..

Til next time.....
