Good Morning everyone!! What do you think of J.R. Garret?

 I thought it would be fun to incorporate a little bit of male fashion into my blog every so often just for a little change up.   J.R. actually suggested the idea to me,  and he willingly volunteered to be my first Male Fashion Feature.  I have to say he did an amazing job, and I was very entertained by his interview.  He even used the same pair of jeans in every outfit to show the versatility of a classic pair of dark jeans.

 Let me know what you think of my first male fashion feature by “liking” this post using the Facebook Like button.

P.S. Congratulations to my Fashion Inspiration Feature and friend, Gretchen Barnes, who will be strutting the runway in Amanda DeLeon, Jolie and Sarah, Kelli Cooper and Julie Wheat during NOLA Fashion Week!

Have a great Friday!

Fashion Forward Monday

Outfit: Tan dress (Mackage),  color block heels (Boutique 9),  black clutch (Chanel)

Jewelry: Monogram necklace, J. Crew,  Banana Republic,  Michael Kors, 

Shanghai Express lipstick (Nars)

Happy President’s Day!

I think the shoulder pads and removable peplum around the waist make this Mackage dress look super fashion forward, and it goes perfect with these Boutique 9 color block heels!  I actually got the both of these items from Park Lane boutique where I work!  Park Lane carries such great one of a kind pieces like clothing from Mackage as well as gowns from Theia, Dee Keller shoes, Elizabeth and James apparel and so much more!

On another note,  I’m really excited because jewelry designers, Donna Guidry and Mary out of Los Angeles, California are sending me a few pieces from their new Spring collection to feature on my blog!  They’re line is called  Bijoutiere and they have designed jewelry for actresses Sasha Pieterse from Pretty Little Liars, Kirsten Storms for Runway magazine and a many other celebs.  Needless to say, I can’t wait to show you their pieces!

I hope you enjoyed this post and have a wonderful day!

Here are a few other fashion forward pieces by Mackage:

 

 

P.S.  Mackage is a tad pricey, but the dress I’m wearing above is 50% OFF today as well as a ton of other items on their web site!

Outfit:  Red high low skirt ONLY $14.50,  Urban Outfitters leopard print top,

BCBG heels (old),  Chanel bag similar (here), Target umbrella

Jewelry: Banana Republic white cuff and gold cuff,  Michael Kors watch,

Monogram necklace from Love boutique (similar here),  Shanghai Express lipstick

Hi everyone! I’m so sad that weekend is at its end, but here is an outfit post to cheer you up!  These pictures are from the freezing cold, rainy day photo shoot.  As you can see my hair is looking a little dreary, but I think the red high low skirt really takes the stage in these pictures anyway!  The color just pops and I think the printed top and black ankle wrap heels kind of adds some edge to the outfit.  I’m wearing two cuffs from Banana Republic that I bought for 40% OFF!  What a DEAL!  I suggest keeping up with their coupons and promotions because you can get some awesome deals and steals there.  I applied some red matte lip stick (suggested by Jade Younger) to pull the whole look together.  In a previous post I talked about high low hems adding a dramatic effect to the outfit and turning heads.  What do you think?  Would this skirt catch your eye?

Here is a Sneak Peak of the next outfit post with F.I.F, Gretchen Barnes:
