Love at First Stripe

Hello, my lovely people!  Here we are a week away from entering my favorite month "October".  
I mean it's Fall Yall and it's my birthday month! So I feel like a celebration is in order all month long! Let's start by celebrating this amazing maxi dress (here)

I fell in love with this gorgeous dress the moment I laid my eyes on it online at New York and Company. The classic shirtdress is a fashion must-have for your wardrobe. A classic dress in a bold and modern print is right up my alley!

Now in case, you didn't notice animal print is quite the rage for fall fashion and not just your typical leopard print. I mean all animal print from snakeskin to zebra print and I am here for all of it! Now I haven't seen any cow print out there right there not sure this is a trend I would follow..LOL 

The amazing thing about this dress is that it honestly can be styled so many different ways. I can see myself wearing this as a long duster with jeans or leggings or maybe with over the knee boots with the split open for a sexy date night look. 

With this look, I decided to pair this with my block style heels (here)that I also purchased from New York and Company making this look suitable for the office.  Got me walking into work like! LOL 

What a perfect way to get in that fall swing but with a fabulous maxi dress. You can also check out some of the other dresses I am loving right now for the fall season!

As always I want to thank you for stopping by it means so much to me! Stay tuned for more fashion finds coming soon!

Fall Fashion Targetstyle with the Fab Five Fashionista's

Hey, y'all hey! There are two things that this girl loves and one being fall fashion and the other is Target!  So when my Fashionista sisters and I agreed on our theme to be Fall Fashion from Target I was all the way in.   I mean you are talking to Pumpkin Spice queen over here so everything fall makes this girl happy and throw Target into the mix you just made my life! LOL 

The moment I saw this dress(here) I was immediately drawn to this gorgeous color combo but I also love the classy sophistication of it all! This is from Target's A New Day Collection and it's one of my go-to brands in that store. 

Now my first thought was I was going to style this with my burgundy booties and all will be right in my little world but then I thought that would be to easy so why not do a little pattern mixing with this look and I am happy I did.

So I added my leopard pumps( which by the way was my best $4 Goodwill find ever) and my Eva Mendes belt that has become a staple in my wardrobe. 

   That's the thing about your style it totally belongs to you so do what makes you feel amazing! 



           So let's check out my Fashionista friends and see what they rocking for this collab!

Reyni from Curls and High Heels is rocking a jumpsuit and she looks absolutely gorgeous with the mustard jumpsuit and leopard accessories. This look is chic and classy and fall-ready she could totally add a jacket for those cooler days that will soon be upon us. 

 Ayesha from Emaneecloset was one of the three ladies that selected this gorgeous animal print dress. I mean we don't call ourselves Fashionista sisters for nothing. I love the pop of rust that she brings in this dress with the hat and booties. She looks sensational in this dress.

Yolanda from Curly Petite Renee also styled this dress with sandals and I am loving she exudes such confidence and class. I would easily say that Yolanda is the Queen of accessories she really knows how to give her look just the pop it needs. 

Lydia from Chic to Street Style Mom is looking fabulous in this lovely dress as well. Lydia opted for a classic black bootie and bag. This dress looks so amazing with her blond hair and her makeup is perfectly done that compliments the dress. 

            
            I love how each one of these ladies made this dress their own and did it fabulously! 


      You can shop my dress below which also comes in cream and some of my other Target faves! 

 Well, it's been another great collaboration with these lovely ladies who all live in different parts of the country that connected on Instagram and now we call each other sisters! 

Until next time!

Zebra Style

Greetings my fabulous friends!

 I was so excited to style these fabulous separates from one of my favorite stores New York and Company from the Gabrielle Union line.  I just love this line it's fashion-forward with some added sexiness and I love the fact that that I always see Gabby rocking her pieces in real life!

The great thing about separates you have the freedom to mix and match and come up with so many different looks. I have narrowed this post down to three looks but honestly, there are so many options.  

 When I spotted this white and black animal print I was definitely interested and when I tried it on the quality blew me away.  This sweater material is very luxurious that I definitely can see myself wearing this for years to come. 

          I love adding pops of color when I wear classic black and white it just creates more interest to the look.

Second Look 

 This cardigan sweater just really speaks for its self and can stand alone that is definitely what I call a statement piece. I opted for a simple dress with this look and love the chic vibes this look is giving me. 

I wanted to take it up a notch and add my color-block booties and this clear and black bag which I think gives it more of an edge. I love taking chances with fashion and keeping it fun and for me, the Gabrielle line keeps me feeling adventurous. 

   I would totally rock this at the office maybe minus the booties and insert pumps into this look.. LOL

                                                             Third Look

I thought let's get a little more comfortable and casually cute. I am styling this with this two-piece jogger sweater set also from the Gabrielle Union line.

I am totally obsessed with this jogger set not only is it comfortable but so cuuute! I  will definitely rock this with gym shoes, booties I mean the styling possibilities are endless. 

Well, there you have 3 looks with these amazing separates from the Gabrielle Union line(here). You can check out rest of her line here and some of my other favorites below! 

Thank you so much for stopping by it means so much until next time!

New Arrivals - Eva Mendes Anniversary Collection

Hello, my lovelies!  I always get excited when I see new arrivals at my favorite stores.  As many of you know I love me some New York and Company so when Eva Mendes released her 6-year Anniversary collection (here) the anticipation was real.  So I thought it would be fun to highlight some of my very some of my favorites. 

Dress / (here)

I have been a fan of the Eva Collection when it came on the scene six years ago. I love the classic vibes it gives me but also gives me all of the current trends.  For example, this classic wrap dress also takes on a modern appeal with the snakeskin print along with the pattern mixing. 

 

Dress /(here), Shoes /(Shoes)


I just love the rich jewel tones the new release of the Eva collection features. The purples, greens and some pink. It a great twist on the typical autumn colors. I love that she has brought back some throwback pieces giving the new life like the Freya Dress (here) in a gorgeous hot pink color but also classic black 

Another one of my favorites is this lace vintage style lovely gown which to me is so Eva.  It has a vintage and feminine look so stunning (here)

We all need a statement jacket in our life and a little piece of sunshine(here) it a real attention-getter and one that can be taken into the spring weather. See I'm thinking ahead for you my fashionista friends.

You also check out some of my other favorites below.  Are you a fan of the Eva Mendes line? Which are your favorite pieces? 

As always I want to thank you for stopping by it means so much!

Sweater Dress Weather

Nothing says fall has arrived quite like a sweater dress.  It's one of my cooler weather staples. You can just do so much with them and feel totally put together.  I love rocking mine with any kind of boot and when it's early fall a cute sandal works well also.

Every year New and Company have so many cute and unique sweater dress options to choose from and this year is no exception. This dress is from the Eva Mendes line which is one of my favorites so many chic and sophisticated pieces 

With this being a lighter sweater dress is actually perfect for this early warmer fall weather. I styled this with a pair of leopard print platform sandals also from New York and Company and let me tell you not only are they adorable they so comfy and ladies I am all about that life. 

 I will totally rock this dress with some cute boots and a jacket when those temps drop and believe me, I live in Indiana it's coming, unfortunately!  You would think I would get used to the Midwest winters by now but the older I get the more I dislike it. 

As I said earlier there are so many amazing sweater dresses that are my wishlist. So many gorgeous dresses. I am loving the rich colors, animal prints and all the trends that I didn't' know I needed! 

What is your fall uniform? What trends are you most excited to wear?

As always I want to thank you for stopping by it means so much to me. Stay tuned for even more fall fashion I am loving right now.

Jumping into September

Happy September my fabulous friends!  I am still trying to get over the fact that we are quickly approaching fall which just happens to be my favorite season. If only we could just skip winter all together then this girl would be so happy! 

As many of you are aware I am such a jumpsuit lover. I think the appeal is that it's like one and done so much less effort on my part. So many of my favorite jumpsuits have been purchased at New York and Company and when I spotted this snakeskin beauty on their website I knew it was just a matter of time before this girl would be adding this beauty to the cart. 

This is a sponsored post but the opinions are all mine. 

I just love the Gabriel Union line it's so one trend and fashion-forward and I always see her rocking all her pieces it shows me that she totally invested.  

I have been crushing on the snakeskin trend for some time, but what made this jumpsuit (here) even more appealing is the shade of green that is added to the mix.  Not only is this pleasing to the eye but such a nice fit it hangs on your body nicely and that not always an easy thing for a pear-shaped girl like myself. 

The versatility of this jumpsuit makes it perfect for the office with a blazer and date night with heels and the little black bag just like this on-trend see-through one.  

                                           Jumpsuit (here), Bag (here), Necklace (here)



         Are you on board for the jumpsuit trend for fall?  How about snakeskin you in or nah? LOL 

Thank you so much for stopping by it means so much to me!
