Valentine’s Day is tomorrow!  Some of you are making plans to surprise that special person in your life.  Planning the perfect evening, the perfect setting, the perfect gift and of course the perfect outfit.  Every year on Valentine’s Day I see countless women with red outfits, red shoes, red accessories and even bright red hair!  Yeah, I am not a fan of the absolute “norm”.  I am sort of a rebel and I will be sporting other colors of the rainbow.  Here are 3 outfits ideas that you can wear that are sleek and sexy….AND NOT RED!

 

Check out this beauty from Eloquii.  This is the Studio off the Shoulder Flare Dress in the color Grape Royale.  Sexy, classic curve hugger with a trumpet sleeve.  Minimal accessories are needed with this outfit.  Button earrings and a bracelet is all that is required.  Sport a sexy updo to show your shoulders, add a stiletto heel and STRUT YOUR STUFF!  See if he can get through dinner without drooling!

 

This simple black dress is a sexy little number.  Simplicity is always sexy.   This Marlow Side Bow Crossover Dress in Black from Fashion to Figure can we worn anywhere from a Valentine’s Day dinner or even church.  Modest neckline and perfect knee length.   Jazz this number up with a chocker necklace, drop earrings and heels to die for!  Girl go get eeee’m!!  LOL

Now, girl look at this dress.  Look carefully at the extra hint of sexiness with the mesh details above the bust and down the dress from hip to knee.   One word…HOT!  Not much if anything is needed to accent this dress.   This is the Sayanne Color Block Bodycon Dress from Fashion to Figure!  Girl, if you wear this dress, he won’t even want to leave the house.  Which is not such a bad thing!

Let’s be real shall we?  These dresses are great!  But it is you that would make them amazing!  Happy Valentine’s Day!

If you think about what’s trending you will see a lot of bold prints and classic silhouettes.  In celebration of Black History month, I was am going to feature a small business.  I was immediately drawn to the GloriJoy Accessory line.  This line features Kente cloth accessories such as earrings, bracelets.  This weeks Trending Tuesday pick is the Ashanti Kente Print Cat Eye Sunglass.  Aren’t these absolutely gorgeous!  (swoon)

Now picture this….I would wear these sunglasses with a cute black bodycon dress like this with solid colored flats in black or red.  On my ears  the Ashanti Kente Print Button earings and ofcourse the Ashanti Kente Print Sunglasses.  For a weekend casual look I would wear a pair of boyfriend jeans like these with a jet black turtle neck, Converse sneeks and the Ashanti Kente Sunglasses.  What do you think of these beauties?

 

How would you style these beauties?

The weather in New York has been really unpredictable lately.  One week the weather is frigid and the following week it’s as warm as a spring day.  I am the type of person who transitions her closet based on the seasons.  With that being said, my summer clothes are in storage with the exception of a few tee-shirts and lightweight pants.  I decided to accept an invitation to go to the movies followed by drinks one Friday evening and the weather was nice and warm.  Too warm to wear a leather jacket and jeans. I put a chic outfit together which would keep me cool enough while traveling but warm enough when the temperature drops.

I am so excited for this weeks Trending Tuesday feature.  I launched my blog in October of 2016.  Before I launched I was an avid reader of many blogs.  One of them was called Gorgeous In Grey.  Gorgeous in Grey is written by Ty Alexander who is also a best-selling author.  Last year she wrote her first book called Things I wish I knew Before my Mom Died. If you are a frequent visitor of CVS you might have seen her on a beauty poster.  She is also a model and a beautiful one at that!  Now here comes the good part!  In addition to her many accomplishments she just launched an accessory line called Obsessorized.  (Don’t you just love that name?)

 

Make-up Bags

For a girly-girl like myself, a make-up bag is absolutely essential.  I need to have all my beauty products in one place.  You can read about my make-up bag essentials here.  With all the beauty “stuff” that I have in my bag, it would fit perfectly in this Obsessorized canvas tote!  I instantly was drawn to the “Maybe She’s Born with it, Maybe its Melanin!!!” and that will be my first purchase.

 

 

I am normally not a sneaker person.  When I think of sneakers I usually think of fitness.  I came across these sneakers in a picture of a fellow blogger and I instantly fell in love!  The moment I laid eyes on them I instantly knew that I had to feature them on this weeks Trending Tuesday pick.

 

The Sam Edelman Leya Fur Sneaker is the perfect fashion staple to incorporate into your wardrobe.  Pair these with leggings or skinny jeans and  a sweater and you can be stylish while running errands or going to brunch with friends.  They come in a variety of colors.  My favorites are Mauve and Gray and they are supepr affordable!  Score!
