Style Stalker - Misha Nonoo for Aldo Rise SS2015

April 19, 2015

American contemporary womenswear designer, Misha Nonoo, collaborated with Aldo's shoe and handbag design teams to create accessories for her Spring/Summer 2015 runway show. Watch this behind the scenes video below which shows Misha in action the day before the big show. It's here that she talks working with Aldo, and the inspiration behind the collection.

The pieces are appealing to my particular style aesthetic as I tend to be drown to more sophisticated, classic silhouettes that offer a splash of color to my neutral wardrobe. The color palette of the pieces are black, white, navy, gold metallic and orchid.

The Aeaniel is the ballerina flat. It can easily be paired with palazzo pants or a sporty skirt. Birchell is the strappy high heel sandal. It is versatile as well with just the right degree of sexiness. Lastly, the oversized clutch is the perfect marriage between softness and structure. The purse also features a rose gold chain and clasp which adds chic details.

Feminine Florals

April 4, 2015

Happy Easter to you all!!!

This day is very special to me (as I'm sure it is to all Christians). It is also special to me from a fashion aspect. Easter is a main indicator of the warmer weather to come. It's the first holiday of Spring and we signify this by dressing in pastels and floral prints.

something old - The high waisted pencil skirt and floral peplum shirt are both thrifted pieces that were under $5.00. The shirt was actually gifted to me by my very best friend. I love the very early 90s, unique print of it. I also decided to leave the shoulder pads.

Placing the shirt inside the skirt presented another style option. I think this look is bit more polished, and sometimes that just works.

Which do you prefer??

Memphis Fashion Week Outfit Recap (What I Wore) - Day 2

March 31, 2015

Words can not describe how perfect this venue was for the shows on Night two. Nothing better to accompany the frigid temps outside than a log cabin with fireplace located in the center of the Memphis Zoo at the Teton Trek.

I wanted to glam up my look for the night, so I wore diamond accessories with a very bright red, bold lip (c/o MAC Rih Rih Woo). Dressing warmly was also a must with temps dipping low into the 30s, I wore my vintage fur coats, leather over the knee boots as well as my leather skirt.
