Real to Steal- A morir Love/Hate Convertible Sunglasses By: Kevin Rose

I know im not the ONLY one that have seen these FA-ROW-SHUS glasses on runways, and other fashion sites!! These "Chained Sunglasses" are a MUST HAVE!!! Rihanna was seen wearing a pair be Kevin Rose (a fashion phenom) called the A morir Love/Hate Convertible sunglasses. The Pair seen on Amber Rose (left) are from Channel. The pair that you have seen on Rihanna retail at $250!


Fashionistas, i have G R E A T news!! You can find a more affordable pair so you can rock them also!! This pair of sunglasses seen here are $25 made by Ghetto Fab Sunglasses. Don't worry i believe $25 is still to much for a pair of sunglasses that will soon be broken. lost, or just not in anymore.


So i have some more great news you can buy a
pair of these FAB FRAMES for $7.90 at Rue 21 i bought some black ones with a silver chain (will post pics) and im in LOVE witht them!! Unfortunatley, they aren't on the website. It really is the perfect summer must have!! So go ahead make your fashion statement :)

Sequins -- Hit or MISS?

I have never been a fan of sequins, but recently, Sequins has seemed to sneak its way back in to many of our closets!! I dont like to say i will NEVER wear something because most likely it will sneak its way into my closet now or later.



Rihanna, a fashion daredevil. Was seen on the red carpet in this extreme number, not to long ago. Clearly, in this picture she pulled it off VERY WELL! Now, would i buy this?? Probably not, but this is warming me up to purchase something with sequins on it. Alot of things that Rihanna wear make me have to think long and hard about if the piece or pieces would be in my wardrobe. Dont get me wrong, thats a GREAT thing! I need a wardrobe challange!

This sequin dress that Letoya Luckett has on is SO CUTE!!! I think its the perfect color for sequin! This dress isn't too loud, but DEFINITELY catches the eye!

Kim Kardashian, once a celebrity stylist. Always has a classy look to her. Nice waves in her hair, PERFECT makeup, and f i e r c e ♥ clothes.
She is WORKING this mini-dress, not to bad for sequins! I dont think i would have picked those shoes,and clutch. Maybe a color a little more brighter.
Maybe my next purchase will have sequins on it! I will keep you posted! :) But my fashion challange to you is to buy something you didn't think you would ever own/wear and WORK IT!!!

FLORAL PRINT!!!!!!!

Floral print has definitely swept Summer 2010 fashion! Its everywhere! sunglasses, shirts, pants, tights, dresses, and shoes! Is it a hit or miss?? Sometimes this print can almost pass for the "old lady look" bu
t like everything else if done R I G H T. It can definitely take the
leading role and be a HIT! i must confess, i recently purchased a pair of floral print tights. kinda like the pair in this
post. Except a lot less flowers. I really thought in my head what kind of
shirt and shoes will go
good with
this.ral tights, and even thoug
h i haven't worn them y
et i must say i am very excited to see
what i can put together. It safe to say my style is BOLD and i am willing to give anything a tr
y!!
On one of my shopping trips i made it a goal
to find something that will go with my floral printed tights so i found
this top at Rue 21 (22.00). When i first picked up the shirt i wasn't to sure ab
o
ut how it would look but it worked out great!!
Now on to wh
at shoes to wear! I found these "Ruffle T-Straps" at Rue 21(12.
99) they matc
h
the belt, and offset the tights.
With tights like these i believe that MINIMAL accessories are necessary! I believe pearl studs and and a pearl bracelet mixed in with a small wooden bracelet will complete this look!!

I am always looking for something different, comfortable and of course STYLISH!!! This time i have landed fingers on Rompers! Im in DEEP LIKE with them..i cant say that i am in love yet because i am still looking for the PERFECT one for my body type! I have ran past a couple that have caught my eye..some maybe a bit pricy for my "college student budget" friends BUT when something is worth it.. u just GOTTA HAVE IT! I went to visit my lovely friends at Rue21 and they know me VERY WELL there :) and i usually just go straight to the sale rack and finds some things but this lovely gray ruffled "romper" was in the window and i went straight to the sales clerk and asked for the "romper in the window" once i realized we walked way pass the sales rack i was expecting it to be $25 tops!! To my surprise this cute jumper was only 17.99! so i HAD to buy it.. i bought a white and turquoise belt to go around it, with some white ankle high gladiator sandals and cute turquoise circle earrings.FAB!!!

i also took a trip to Ch
arlotteRusse.com, another one of my favs, where another "onesie" took my attention. This Button Front Printed romper is
a little more casual and a great "shopping" outfit its on the website for 24.00 if u order online please include s&h! Great to accesorize
with wooden jewelry and some tan sandals or dress it up with some great strappy high heeled sandals! pull your hair into a bun or ponytail and great sunglasses and
intricate earrings.. BOMB!!
Looking for more styles
and prints?? Forever 21 has many great jumpers!! i browsed the site and found some really nice ones definitely faSHANista certified!! this all white embroidered jumpers is 27.80 (right) it is nice to wear on a date with the perfect nude lipstick and blush! YES! Thats ALL you need because this outfit can speak VOLUMES if done right. A gold chunky Necklace and a gold bracelet with this out fit and you are ready to blaze trails!! Could be worn with heels or sandals even dressy flats!! Great Summer outfit!!

Whats fashion without color?? this colorful jumper, at $14.50, also on forever21.com is great choice.. when u want to keep as cool as possible.. the loose material and 100% co
tton is perfect for a hot summer
day! Pull your hair to a high bun and off your neck and a great pair of earrings and you need nothing else!!

Modcloth.com- I Introduce the MUST have BLACK pieces!

I must admit i have a obsession with vintage clothes! The patterns are captivating, tells a lot of stories and with the right accessories and of course SHOES .. can make for the perfect outfit! A couple years ago i ran across a website, which quenched my vintage style craving. This website, www.modcloth.com, is dedicated to the 40's -60's era. From hair accessories to cute clothing pins and cute apartment/ housing trinkets this website has it all!! Proceed with caution, there are a handful of high-priced items on this website also followed by, what i like to call "great steals". When viewi
ng an item it informs you of measurements and a detailed description of the item and also item the website recommends that will accompany the item. Thru out this post are things from the website that caught my eye also with the prices of the item. The " Continuum Belt" (left) is 9.99! Belts are the perfect accessory and can transform any shirt or dress. Also the "East Liberty Station Top" (right) is 19.99 and throw it on with some dark wash bermuda shorts and some gladiators sandals and a skinny belt that bring out one of the colorful gems on the shirt and your set! The "Pleats of Fancy Dress" (bottom left) is 44.49 a perfect all purpose dress. I believe every girl should have a "little black dress" it should be called the "Fashion Life Saver" its the best thing in my closet!! Still classy and the pleats are the best embellishment to the dress!! I like to get the craziest shoes when i wear black dresses, maybe animal print or some bright color pumps! Just enough to lighten up the dress. Visit the site i promise you NO disappointments :) ** I don't believe the site has a store, and all purchases are online used with pay-pal the safest payment on the internet!**
Find what works for you!!!

I've been viewing blogs lately and i ran across some dresses that just took my breath away so i did my research to find where i can find a dress like Jada's!! A nice white dress, and cute heels is the perfect simple, cute, chic outfit, so i thought how could i achieve this look but still keep it in my college student budget so ladies take a look what i found :)..This lace top dress slightly above the knee is the perfect dress to go to dinner event or maybe even a fashion show, definitely the season for white/off white so where it while you can!!!! Something else also caught my eye.. im a very colorful person and summer is the PERFECT time to wear it!! Solange's dress is so interesting, yet simple, also creative!! need to go to a BBQ?? throw on this pretty floral zip-front dress that i found online with some tan or gold or bright colored tstraps and set it off with some chunky bangles, and cute hoops!!

SHOES

My first blog will be dedicated to SHOES i love shoes! i think they tell alot about a person. Shoes scream style, personality, and even interest. I must admit, shoes can set a outfit off or shut it all the way down. A particular shoe has caught my eye!! It has been seen on alot of celebrities such as, Amber Rose, Cassie, Kim Kardashian and more.. all whom i would consider "Fashionistas" i call them the "ComBoot Heel"(on the left). These shoes are the perfect dress down/dress up shoe.. i have seen this shoe worn with Skinnys & a vneck and also skirts. Normally, people wouldn't go for the boot/peeptoe look. So i am calling all of my "High Risk FASHIONistas" these are the lovely ladies that think outside the box and take it to the N E X T level!!
These shoes look expensive dont they?!, and i know what your thinking..they have to be if celebrities are wearing them..but guess what.... are u ready?? THERE NOT!!!! these shoes can be purchased at Forever 21 for 12.99!!!!
Some may not know what event they can wear these to so here is some summertime examples.
these are great shoes for the club, the material is comfortable and the heels are chunky enough to not tear your feet up by the end of the night..
not a clubber?? well pick an event!! Throw on some jeans a bright colored vneck and get fly for that girls night out that you have desperately been needing! take pics and remember to thank the faSHANista ;)
*Dont have a Forever 21 in your area?!? its okay these shoes can be purchased online at Forever21.com click on the sale widget and scroll all the way down to footwear.. make sure u get your right size!!*
