A Pop of Pink with a Gorgeous Skirt

The older I get the more I realize that life is not just black and white that sometimes you just need that little pop of pink to spice up your life just way it does for a monochromatic look in fashion. Life is meant to have some added color. 

I simply adored this Gabriel Union skirt from +Nyc Retailer the moment I saw it and I knew that it was one that would sell fast and boy was I right it was sold out online but my fashion fairy Godmother  was on my side because I was able to find one at my local store and when I say one there was literally one sitting on the rack .  The quality of this skirt is amazing I just love the structure of the waist line it gives you that classic chic vibe. 

                      The line of this amazing skirt make you feel so ladylike I am still swooning!

                     Every girl needs a least on pair of pink pumps they just give a little pep in  your step !

      There is nothing like finding a skirt that has amazing twirl and ladies I give this one a 10!

The details of this bag are just gorgeous . I love the beading and pops of color I feel this purse tgave some pattern mixing to this look and I am all about that life.  I can hardly believe that I got this bag for under $20 now that's a steal!

  Unfortunately as I mentioned before this skirt is sold out online so please check below for simuliar options. If  you head to your local ] store maybe your Fashion Fairy Godmother will see that there is one on the rack for you :)

Fab 40's get Creative with DIY

Well it's the time of the month when I get the chance to collaborate with a group of International fellow Fashionista's and give our interpretation of a theme that is selected by one of us and this month it was the lovely Diane's turn to come up with the theme and she chose DIY.  Well this girl isn't the crafty type but I think that makes this, even more fun it forced me to get out of my comfort zone which is amazing. 

Now I didn't go to crazy I have to start easy and work my way up.  I decided to crop and add some cuts to these super cute patch flares that were actually not quite long enough. Have  you ever had jeans that were the perfect length and then you wash them and you are suddenly looking like Steve Erkel? Well that was the situation over here.  I cropped these jeans and added sleeveless multi-shade denim shirt and topped if off with blue pumps and fabulous tassel chocker. 

                                           
Diane from Fashion from the 4th Floor  killed it with this jacket I want to totally try this I mean she cut the color off tie-dyed this cut it gave it an unfinished hem and I absolutely love it and she really has me wanting to give this a try. I love how she paired it with the cut off short showing off her amazing legs. Love this look Diane! 

                     
Jennie from A Pocketful of Polka Dots- Jennie just amazes me she actually sewed this fabulous shirt that I would totally buy herself and if that wasn't enough she created a step hem on a pair of jeans that she owned and let me just say this look is amazing. You go Jennie !!

Ann from Kremb De La Kremb  in case you didn't know Ann is the Queen of our group when it comes to DIY I mean she amazes me all the time with the amazing things she comes up with and this month is no different. I am so in love with this fabulous jacket that she has created adding patches and major bling. I just love how she takes something so basic like this jean jacket and tricks it out! 

Veronica from Cid Style Files  I love the creativity of this DIY with the camo tee shirt creating a choker with this simple tee not to mention the super cute ties on the sleeves takes it to another level. Love it girl! 

Tracy from The Naughty Forty Diaries  our lovely guest blogger has created a super cute and tee with amazing patches and lovely bow sleeves. This is another DIY that this girl will be trying she said that adding the patches literally took minutes and that sounds perfect for this beginner.  Love it Tracy so glad to have you as our guest blogger 

It's been nothing amazing month with these fabulous ladies! I can't wait to see what July brings us!

The One

I just love summertime it's that little window in the year that you feel a little more relaxed and free. I love the warmer temps and I adore wearing this beautiful summer dresses it's a must for me.  I always look for the dress that I deem as "The One" every summer and for me that would be this beautiful Nicole Miller dress.  My sister actually found this one on clearance at Carson's for an amazing deal and it was one that I had been watching it's great thing when you have a tag team shopping team that work together .. that is how my family rolls .. LOL 

 A perfect dress for me has to be one with a lot of twirl factor darling and this one has that for sure!

                            
                          The beautiful pattern and color pattern had me seriously swooning ! 

A high -low maxi is perfect it has that long flowy feel but you can still show off fabulous shoes!

As if this dress wasn't already fabulous enough you have the cut out back adding just a little bit of sexiness to the mix!

Summertime Vibes

Summertime is the season for all those fabulous outdoor activities and parties so you want to be cool but still stylish and comfort is a must.  This unique jumpsuit is all of that and more. I just love the light cotton material so perfect for the cocktails on the beach or a romantic dinner on the patio.  

This tulip leg jumpsuit is unique and sexy. I kept it modest by added a flesh colored bodysuit underneath what a great match to my skin so much so my son asked " Mom do you have something on under that ? " LOL  You can purchase this jumpsuit (here)

                       The splits on the leg make it sexy and perfect for summer time parties!

Just when a girl thinks she doesn't need another jumpsuit this happens! Casual, cute and comfy a perfect combo! 

 Are you a fan of the tulip leg jumpsuit?  It is certainly worth trying and at a fabulous price point!

I just love the endless styling possibilities you can give it a more relaxed vibe by adding a tank top but I decided to give it more dressed up feel with this rich blue ruffle top that I scored for $10 from +Jcpenney. I also wanted to add a pop of color with this amazing Eva Mendes satin bow belt from  +Nyc Retailer that takes it to another level of fabulous it's all about those small details.
