SOMEBODY ROCKIN KNOCKIN THE BOOTS

As Fall and Winter approaches I get sooo excited by all the endless possibilities that can be put together with fashion- from layers of clothing to the cutest footwear especially boots...I looooooove booties....thigh highs, flats, stiletto styles, calf-length, booties and every style in between if you know what I mean...and this season I am on the search for a pair with a bit of drama...its all about the details be it a bold color like my fave pair ever of emerald green boots that graced Sessilee Lopez' gorgeous gams in last year's Victoria's Secret (November 29th this year), a chain accent or even a purrrfect leopard print or lace texture...you can wear the most simple tee and jeans but if the boot game is mean then the look is OH SO FRESH and clean...so check these out and tell me what you think

Absolutely love the electric blue and fringe detail

These babies are by Bebe and from the height and lace ups to the tassels- makes me wanna cowboy for Christmas to lasso

These beauties are by Betsey Johnson of course- I love the hint of pink and the haute back ankle ruffle softens the roughness of the military look

Once again all about the details by Colin Stuart in this deep aubergine if paired with the perfect simple dress they are divine

For the lady who loves a bit of rugged edge with her footwear but when it comes to her look she still cares

This was the first pair to catch my eye....hmmm I wonder why- could it be that the style name was the Dominic...I think so

 I will always have a love for leopard and any animal print for that matter...this bootie is a beast and so is that uber thin golden heel

Everyone can appreciate a perfect pair of flat boots but the quilted there gives it a little more flair

Then there's the brown boot that is reminscent of last year's Louboutins with out breaking the Christmas bank

Who's the lady....lovely lady....real fine lady...in lace...just lovely

Sass and boots that push up that arse....why yes I'll take two pair thanks...the platform...the spikes...up to the thigh in height and premium leather...I don't think it gets any better

And check out that back action...whoo chile

So which ones are your fave??? All of these boots can be found at Victoria's Secret.com, Bakersshoes.com or Steve Madden.com

PARIS FASHION WEEK

Paris Fashion Week was held this month and in true Parisian pull and form- they were years ahead of American Fashion....the likes of Chanel, the works of Phoebe Philo, YSL, Valentino, Chloe and Miu Miu were some of the few that showcased their new Spring/Summer 2012 collections but most fashionable featured from bold and structured looks to the dainty and demure..femininely whimsical to the geometric and galant...Check out my fave looks and see if you can figure out who designed what piece..

 

My Spring Summer Must Haves include: pastel shorts, a neutral oversized comfortable knit overlay sweater, wideleg linen pants, one piece preferably a dress in cornflower blue, a fluid and flowy maxi skirt with accordion pleats which I feel I can find vintage or thrift and some more tie tops...

HOW WILL I LOOK FOR HALLOWEEN?

Ok so this year I have gone back and forth on what or who I will be for Halloween...Three years ago I was a tiger....then a black panther/ Rihanna from Run this Town....then Teyana Taylor/Ciara....notice any patterns...yeah I have a tendency to be bi-polar or a schizophrenic every year being two people because my indecisive ass can never decide and this year proves to be no different...A few months back I thought about being Rihanna again- but this year the RED HEAD version...however I have a feeling that just like Nicki Minaj last year and with the release of her new video- there will be alot of "RIHANNAS-REVIVED" rummaging their wanna be ragged asses around town...so this year I decided to take a different approach and pay homage to the my two hotties of the past....my childhood crushes Prince and Michael Jackson...How might you ask?...Well I would like to be either Naomi Campbell Circa "IN THE CLOSET"  Days as a MJ video girl or Appolonia from Purple Rain and of Vanity 6 Fame  OR  Dirty Diana...Now yes no one has ever seen Dirty Diana except for the small glimpse you get of her in the limo in the final scene of the video dressed in all black...anyhow....check out these looks and tell me what you think

IM COMING HOME: WHAT TO WEAR TO HOMECOMING

So as a proud alumni of Texas State University and current graduate student- I always look forward to Homecoming- an opportunity to reunite with the "old heads" and kick it with the "new kids on the block" in the quad persay. And this year will be no difference. With a schedule of events occuring in the craziness of the Texas weather that is sure to lead to nothing to pure shenanigans- everyone should be prepared on the fashion forefront whether tailgating or shaking a tail feather at the nightly festivities and here's a few looks to make sure you are nothing but fierce...So I've selected mood boards that represent every collegiate on the campus..Each one of these looks has the ability to translate from day to night when you take one of the statement pieces and pair with flat boots, brogues or ballet flats and denim

SOMETHING'S HAPPENING HERE....BUT ONLY IF WE LET IT

Ok so yes my world does revolve around all things fashion and my industry is connected with the frivolous and the faux... and pretentious and the pretty... the mindless muse...basically people who only think with the right side of their brain and are unaware to those things that affect the world on the daily...and this could NOT be more further from the truth...at least not in Domoland and let's face it- you all want to live there anyway....I digress as usual...take this article for instance- I found it compelling and even motivating enough to break the status quo....it has absolutely nothing to do with fashion...yet everything to do with fashion lol...read it and tell me your thoughts

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/opinion/theres-something-happening-here.html

In my opinion you can NEVER replace the power, work ethic, social and emotional connection of the individual and I do agree "SOMETHING'S HAPPENING HERE"...but only if we allow it to...our generation has the where with all and God given ability to obtain and achieve all the things that past generations believed that we couldn't and future generations will need

LOVE ON TOP

"Now everybody ask me while I smiling out from ear to ear....but I know"

Ok I know....I know...I know....as of lately my blogs have featured the beauty and her beastly talent of course I'm referring to Beyonce.... but what can I say her musical and fashion influence can been everywhere...and Beyonce even with her perfect pregancy bump has definitely shown no signs of slowing down with the release of her latest video- LOVE ON TOP...As the true definition of a diva she always delivers a performance of perfection and tackled this track with a tribute to boy bands of the past ala New Edition: The Bobby Brown Years...sorry Johnny..As if the dancing was divine enough- the fashion was more than fierce it was fire....the background boytoys began in basic dance gear and my eyes couldn't escape the SHIRTLESS guy on the far left end and then there was the star of the show- Queen B of course- busting moves in her signature basic black bodysuit, big military inspired hat with flair, black fishnets and boots...as the song changes octaves so does the fashion with B and the boys breaking it down in some of the most bold and beautiful suiting...the gentlemen looked gorgeous and galant in their grey suiting...but I don't know which suit I loved more on Beyonce- the first soft golden look with big and bold black lapels, the white and black double breasted or the fierce and finale look of black and beaded detail that transformed into a shortsuit?? They were alllll so awesomely tailored to perfection...but as you all know in my eyes she can do no wrong and Beyonce coulda worn a paper bag and I would have though girlllll you better work that BROWN BAG...but everyone knows how I feel about women in menswear- the mix of masculinity and feminity is nothing short of magical when combined with uber confidence...But check it out and tell me what you think cuz you clearly already know my thoughts
