Its Boot Szn Sis

Fall is already here and are you boot season prepared? If not, you better get ready. Especially if you are in states like New York, Vermont and Minnesota.

If there’s one thing appropriate for pretty much any season (but especially fall and winter), it’s boots and booties. For those of us who believe you can never own too many of the chic shoe, I am officially your friend. You’re going to want to make some major room in your closet—or on shoe rack, or under your bed—because the boot trends this year came to walk all over previous seasons.

These spicy patent leather boots are way to fun. From the heel structure to the color. I enjoyed playing around with these because you could honestly wear them with skinny or flare jeans, a mini skirt with tights or with windbreaker pants. I have fallen in love with the fact that athleisure wear is now fashion. My black and white windbreaker pants with a touch of white went perfect with my patent leather red jacket. When paying attention to details you can also see the white zipper on the jacket was something I wanted to essentiate.

The finalization of this look was not only perfectly placed but I was super cozy and comfy.

Kitana - Mortal Kombat

Happy Halloween!!!

How creative were you this year? To be honest I’ve been planning this halloween look for about a year now lol. Only because I didn’t get the chance to wear a costume last year or year before last. This one was most definitely premeditated.

For me Halloween is more so about showing your creativity and expressing yourself in a distinctive style of an individual or group that reflects either a class, gender or profession. Its a time to have fun and show your production of your very own artistic work. This year I was a fictional character from the Mortal Kombat, Kitana. Her ultimate goal was to fight anything and anyone that was against her. Which match my personality on so many levels. Everyday each and each every one of us are fighting new challenges and we always find different ways to overcome those obstacles.

Not only did her ambitious simplify me, but so did her wardrobe. I love the entire rich royal blue two piece set, as it came along with the hand, arm, head and leg pieces. I decided to add the Chinese fixed fan for completion. My favorite was the mask, especially with Covid - 19 not making an exit anytime soon.

A Trend or nah

Some people may think stacked jeans are a trend. However, this specific style has been around for years. Often called elongated jeans, curved jeans, extended jeans, or what we call "J shape jeans". Dont get me wrong, as of 2020 they’ve definitely been apart of the spotlight. I think the question is how to wear them and when to wear them. Due so many innovative styles you have the right to dress them up or down. The simplest way is to merely wear them over your shoe. This is playing it safe, as they can be dressed up or down. I honestly was indecisive on if I should wear an open toe square heel or pointy toe. As you can see the open toe set the bar. With temperature dropping in LA I decided to wear a comfy graphic sweatshirt. Since it already resembled many colors, I thought why not add a pattern. My mini leopard print bag was the perfect go to and you guys know I love gold jewelry with everything. My finishing touches were big gold hoops and layered necklaces, oh and let me not forget my gold bracelets. This was the perfect random girls dinner night at Spire 73.

Painted On

Body hugging dresses are normally worn on days you would like to embrace your figure. Bodycon (body conscious) dresses are all about highlighting your curves. It’s a dress clinging to your figure and revealing your shape. All you need is a body positive attitude to go along with that confidence. Once you have made your mind about wearing it, stick to that. Believe that you can pull off anything you desire. Don’t get me wrong, I totally use to think these dresses were made for nightlife and party occasions only but I figure why limit yourself. As long as its suitable and appropriate for the setting of your event, go for it! This renaissance painted on dress is so trendy now. I love the neutral colors up against my skin complexion. Since the dress itself was already a statement piece I decided to accessorize with my transparent clear earrings to match my super comfy open toe sandal heels. Finished it off with a nice sleek back ponytail and my black crossbody bag and my date night was complete. Go for it ladies!!!!

Grown AF

…. A Moment of wishing a Happy belated Birthday to TamalaClarice!!!!!

A couple nice cocktails and martinis, I’m sure you’d appreciate still feeling comfortable yet sexy after having a drunk’n night! Tonight I celebrated my 29th birthday at STK Steakhouse LA. A modern concept with a chic lounge. The attire for the restaurant also went perfect with my birthday theme. I wore the most sexiest yet grateful and comfortable dress you could think of. This two tone silver and black backless dress was the most simplest masterpiece. It was also gave a seductive feel due to the high split right above the thighs. I completed my look off with a black diamond square toe heel. Nevertheless…. Cheers to 29!

Despite Covid

No worries guys, My mask is in my back pocket and to be completely transparent I haven’t been feeling my blogs because of the coronavirus that slowly approached the entire world late 2019. All of my blogs told a true story and gave a lifestyle to where I wore each and every outfit too. Rather it was to a brunch, dinner date night or even a girls trip. Every outfit was an expression during that moment in time. Now that Im no longer letting Covid take control, Im back and better and of course in the most safest way possible.

With today being my 29th birthday I decided release a blog in honor of all the events that have taken place in the world. Lets just say if police brutality wasn’t active or if covid wasn’t taking lives…where would we be mentally right? what event would I be attending for my birthday? or even what would I wear On my birthday? Well I’m not sure about the other questions lol but this look set the tone and bar for me at this amazing location called Silver Lake Pool & Inn on Santa Monica Blvd. The floral top can  often be associated with sweet and romantic, and there’s obviously nothing wrong with that. But the floral trend can also be combined with cool items for a more fashionable option. Which is why I decided to take a risk and layer my long sleeve floral puffer top with a pair of vinyl sleek high waisted pants. This bold statement piece amplified my entire look. I tried accessorizing with high-heeled sandals and burgundy teardrop earrings for a more high-fashion appeal. I hope you enjoyed this welcome back… because there’s sure more to come.

LaCe Nights

We feel it may be a little bit reductive to use the word intimate when describing bloggers but it serves a purpose and is ideal if you’re looking to create a classic retro silhouette. Let me start off by saying love yourself and your body. No matter the shape or size. From shaping and sculpting to lace appliqués, there’s hardly an itch not scratched in the expansive world of lingerie. That being said, I decided to pair my lingerie corset and lingerie biker shorts with an all over black blazer. This look was perfect for a girls dinner night right after the pandemic or even a wine tasting with your significant other for a in the house look. Layering it with gold jewelry and a gold leopard print band bag made it more chic and dressy casual. When finalizing your look be sure to make room for your shoe-drobe for faux fur heels. If you’re wondering how to wear fur heels for going out or staying in, then this is your best bet. It’s super sassy and gives you that open toe shoe glam. Just add a red lip and you can establish a bold and feminine statement in no time at all.

Lavender Tequila

If you continue to pay attention, my inspiration during the entire Mexico trip was based off lingerie. Whether it was lace, silk, satin or body chain, it was all targeting some form of comfort. Honestly, silk pants are about to take over my wardrobe. The effortless day-to-night style is one of the biggest trends of the season, and I truly can’t get enough. The best part is that there’s a way to style them for every fashion lover no matter what your personal style may be, whether you’re classically chic, totally sporty, or edgy—with a twist. The material is a little bit of a godsend for that go-to summer staple, though it’s important to note that you should choose your colors and patterns wisely depending on the temperature as some colorful tones don’t exactly lend themselves well to a sweaty night out. My lavender purple satin pants were slightly thin so it was perfect for a breezy night. I tried matching my silk pleaded pants with a cropped top to reveal my torso. But not just any crop top. This one was light purple and consists of a large bow with a metallic reflection. Go for a monochrome look and pair it with your favorite transparent earrings and your outfit is good to go. 

Glitzing

Is it just me or does boyfriend jeans sometimes make you feel a size bigger than what you already are?! But it’s okay because they’re so hard to resist and super cute. No matter what you pair them with, the effect seems largely the same: oversized, undone, and stylish. Boyfriend jeans come in different styles and colors. You can purchase them with major distressing or even grab a high waisted pair. Figuring out how to wear boyfriend jeans might not be the most difficult style challenge, but the thing is that they can often seem one-dimensional. Anyone can wear them with a staple button-down, a nautical-inspired T-shirt, or a black leather bomber—it takes innovation to pull off theses styling tricks. I decided to wear mines on a hot summer day in Mexico during a girls trip. I Paired it with a skinny waist belt to make it more defined and my oh-so cute gold body chain top gave it a glitzing yet appropriate sex appeal once my skin hit the sun. I could’ve easily stopped adding layers there but I figured minimalism would be playing it safe. With it being so hot I added finishing touches with my white and tan straw hat and gold oversized sunglasses. The last accession to the look was a pair of my all white vans giving it an edgy vibe. I was then comfortably yet fashionably ready to take on Mexico.

Bronze Silhouette

I honestly believe that every woman can be a bit self-conscious when it comes to wearing a bathing suit. Even me! It’s either because we’re bloated, not confident or there’s just not enough boob support when wearing a bikini. Well, I’m here to tell you that this is why I love my job because I am able to help others be comfortable in their own skin no matter what. Sometimes we critique ourselves harder than anyone else rather than embracing ourselves for who we are. When picking out my perfect swimsuit(s) I always start with color. Personally green, orange and red compliments my skin tone. So try to find a color that you feel plays well off your skin tone. While contemplating on this particular blog in Mexico I knew green would pop with the palm leaves and brown tall tree branches. My emerald green two piece swimsuit matched perfect with my tan wide brim straw hat. So find a swimsuit that makes you and only you happy. Life is too short to worry about what other people think and love your curves to the fullest!

Secret of Purity

Summer on a budget? Trust me I can relate. Theres nothing worse than a girl having to limit her swimwear purchases for the summer season. After all, you want this bikini for the cruise, that bikini for the resort, this one-piece for the family vacation, that bikini for the beach, this bikini for laying by the pool… I mean, the list goes on. The good news is that you don’t have limit yourself to only one beach look this summer just because you have only one swimsuit, You just need to learn the secrets to adding a splash of versatility into your swimwear collection. As some of you may or may not know, that white is my favorite color. I always believed that white symbolize light, safety, purity, and cleanliness.  So, wearing white swimsuits was perfect. Having a neutral-colored swimsuit is like having that one pair of skinny jeans you know you can always rely on. They can be paired with all colors, designs, fabrics, tops, and beach accessories, allowing you to get several different beach styles out of one purchase.

I was able to bring so much class yet sex-appeal to Belize, with my favorite two white swimsuits. Couple of stops that were made along the way was the Belize Cruise and “The Belize Secret Beach” where they had the best shrimp tacos and fresh coconuts. While vibing to Nipsey Hussle and taking in this amazing sunset ocean view, it really helped inspired me to write this blog. I was so relaxed and comfortable in this crinkle chiffon fabric material. Its super stretchy and light weight. I was able to accessorize with pieces as simple as a stunning pair of big sunglasses or drooping body jewelry, it can change up the entire look of your beachwear. I even added a(n) super chic fanny pack, ankle bracelet, floral headband, and fedora hat. These little beach basic styling tips will help you get the most out of the trending summer styles without breaking the bank.

Ambergris Caye

The maxi skirt is a fabulously versatile piece that can be dressed up or styled casually for a carefree adventure! Day three in Belize, I visited city Ambergris Caye where they serve the best Caribbean dish. Ambergris Caye is the largest island in Belize, and the main destination for travellers to this western Caribbean nation. The weather is mild, the beaches are beautiful, and the history is rich, this is a land of swaying palm trees and colorful sunsets. With so much to do, I made sure I wore the most comfortable, easy breezy and light weight pieces. With a fluid and flattering silhouette the maxi skirt is the perfect piece to bring along for a weekend adventure! This particular maxi skirt was a silk champagne color detailed with ruffle lining. I just love how it moves when I walk. I had so much fun layering this look. I added a silk, mint green and white polka dot shirt to balance out the silk champagne skirt. The tie in the front gave it that summer feel. I wanted the whole look to look effortless and classic, which I think I achieved along with adding so many bright colors. Once you have your skirt and top picked out, partner it with cute and comfortable items, such as a bold sunglasses and flat sandals, and add accessories like bright earrings and headbands. 

Belizean Tings

Taking a trip to town in San Pedro, Belize where you can find the best fruit stands are from the mainland and abroad. Belizeans want their fruit to not be only delicious, but they care about where their food comes from, too. Fun Fact: It  takes about 9 months to grow a fresh pineapple in Belize before they actually bring it to the fruit stands at their locally renowned San Pedro Framers Market. While roaming through the town, I made sure I wore the most Co-Ord Matching two piece sets which also works perfectly as swimsuit cover-ups. They’re super easy going, relaxing and comfortable. Matching skirt sets, short sets, and/or beach pant sets can be worn together, mixed and matched, and paired with different tops and bottoms in your existing wardrobe. This Zimmerman amari off shoulder tiered top and skirt worked perfect. The bright color scheme was such a fun combination.  This two-piece set also packs well, as it is lightweight and doesn't take up a lot of space in your luggage. I was able to add minimum accessories such as gold hoop earrings and my favorite convenient straw back pack. I used the word “minimum” specifically because I didn’t want to take away the drama from the outfit itself.  After vising the fruit stands, I was able to try this amazing Belizean Cuisine restaurant called Los Feliz while wearing this same statement piece. The two piece look worked out perfectly with the setting and atmosphere of the restaurant.

Las Terrazas Belize

I’m always trying to figure out ways to challenge myself personally and professionally. “How can I aim higher?” “How can I stay inspired?” “How can I stay consistent?”  As I step out of my comfort zone I figured that, “if something doesn’t challenge you, it’s not changing you”. I’ve been patiently working on my first international blog for over 2 months now. Im so excited to not only share fashionable looks but beautiful content of locations, adventures, food and the cultural differences while taking on the Western Caribbean Sea of Belize.

As we enjoy our stay at the Las Terrazas Resort and explore, of course it has to be in style.  Im so inspired by the bamboo architecture and nature atmosphere. For brunch, I decided to wear my floral tie-front crop top. The long bell sleeves are a statement piece alone which makes this look fun and flirty. No matter what style, crop tops are loved by everyone, because they are great for wearing with almost anything. Be sure to get the look you are most comfortable with. You can even get a neutral tone matching skirt with your crop top and even play with patterns such as stripes. My earth tone green and cream skirt paired perfectly. It can be the right look for your vacation day. Pair it with a nice sexy pump, cat sunglasses and straw back pack.

Be sure to already have your late date night outfit prepared, laid out and ready to go. Later that evening, dinner by the pool side gave me the perfect idea to wear a long maxi dress. This absolutely stunning look with red ruffle lining is just a look worth trying. You can even wear it for a lunch date or a casual party and enjoy the evening with such an elegant style. I was able to accessorize with my circular crocheted exterior bag with fringe around the edge. Finished off with my strappy nude heels and metal arm bracelet.

Strawberry Mango

Lately I’ve been encouraging you ladies to be comfortable and yet still fashionable but now it’s time to turn it up a knotch, of course in the most classiest way ever. This is normally where your versatility kicks in. When you think plaid, stop thinking lumberjack or schoolgirl – this season’s plaid pieces add an urban twist to the familiar print. Whether you are ready to embrace plaid fully this season or prefer to start with a few accents you can do it without straying from your personal style. This plaid bodycon dress was super sexy yet sophisticated but to tone down the curvy ensemble I dressed it up with my tan double-breasted trench coat and dark brown waist belt. It definitely gave it that ultimate on-the-go city look. The baseball cap has long been one of menswear's most polarising accessories.  As time progresses, a growing number of men and women are beginning to realize that, It isn't who should wear them, but  how we wear them. My plaid baseball cap is a tad bit of a different print from my dress, but it worked out perfect by sticking to a common neutral color scheme. Those last finishing touches are always your shoes and I would highly recommend 3 inches or lower if you want to be cute and comfy while taking on the city but if you are a go-getter like myself and have a high tolerance for high heels, I’d say go for it. You’d be amazed by how much of a higher arch can elevate your look.

Fashion is never comfortable!

Casual CASUAL

If you sincerely know Tamala Clarice than you know, I, myself am truly a casual girl. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to assist under a fashion stylist or if you are a fashion stylist yourself this is normally what type of attire you’d wear or of course in leisurewear. Even when a stylist is doing pulls or returns you must be as comfortable as possible because there is a lot of physical work that takes place, like carrying heavy garment bags and being on set of multiple hours. Blazers are one of those staple pieces of clothing that are a lot more versatile than people give it credit for. Easily matched with formal outfits and an endless array of Oxford shirts, it's something that's ideal for smarter occasions, but it also works great with a lot of casual pieces as well. Blazer and jeans or sweatpants work great together and are a go-to combination when creating a casual, yet put together look. Actually with this look, I have on two blazers. One plaid and one black. I paired it with a turtle neck which is also now the ultimate trendy piece. Makes sense that something as equally versatile as a slim turtleneck will work just as well with a blazer. Of course, there are some things you should probably keep in mind before you start throwing any random shirt on with any old blazer, but these are mainly things that you need to remember for any outfit - fit, color, pattern and length. That’s why I paired these super cute plaid Harlem shorts. I am not suggesting you throw on any kind of lounge wear, but some slim fitting black joggers in a thick cotton material, alongside your blazer, can be a surprisingly good combination. Pair it with your favorite kicks and your good to go for a long stylist busy day. Be picky when selecting your shoe choice, anything that's too chunky will disrupt the narrow look of the outfit. Keep them well fitted, but experiment with styles.

Shang Hi

There was so much inspiration and brainstorming put into this look, not only that it wasn’t a better way to bring in the new year of 2019 without a banger! I’ve always been inspired by Chinese style and fashion. I like the idea of creating balance from juxtaposition, like mixing unexpected shapes and fabrics. Chinese fabric such as traditional Chinese floral print pattern or floral brocade jacquard fabric can be a work of art with a simple touch of correct styling. I was so inspired by sheer Chinese fabric and the ever popular net dress that made its way to the fashion scene in the 70s and is now making a comeback in the high fashion world, it’s getting more and more daring. But of course, there are tons of ways to make it wearable. One or two, wear a slip dress underneath or even short-spanks in which you can choose to go for a mini or a maxi. With see-through details and long sleeve black and white trims this creation features details that created a much defined dimension, resulting to a very sexy yet elegant look.  This look can be worn at any upscale after 5 occasion or cocktail parties for social networking. Covering everything from the Chinese hair bangs to beauty tips. Compliment and complete your look with a bold red lip and nothing less than a 6 inch pump and you’re the highlight of the night!

Gym or Brunch

Who said you can’t wear sweats outside the house? They are so trendy and versatile you can literally trade any outfit for a sweat outfit and pull it off any and everywhere. It’s all crystal clear to me: they have become such a casual staple, courtesy of those athleisure trends, and of the 80s comeback that it’s the go-to-outfit for 1) running errands, 2) going shopping, 3) brunch, or 4) any cool casual style you wanna pull off one day. Even if you’re not staying home or just going to the gym. White, black and red are the easiest and most color pop pieces to go to. Today was a travel day for me so I decided to still be dope and trendy yet comfy. The sweats look has been happening for a while, but I always thought it might be just a fad, you know? But no. Sweats outfits are here to stay. 

Polka

I’m a huge fan of mixing patterns and as summer comes to end there is no better way to play with color and scale. Polka Dot pattern is normally associated with vintage-inspired clothes that can come off as cheesy, but it doesn’t have to look that way if you choose wisely. Keep it current with a fun wrap dress or trendy halter top does the trick. Look for simple shapes like well-cut pants or a-line skirt to make a basic feel fresh again. My polka dot A-Line skirt was perfect for a fellow brunch with a few other fellow stylist. The weather was breezy and warm so the flow of my skirt complimented perfectly. Now, to spice things up I paired it with stripe grey and black crop bustier which are super trendy, feminine and perfect for pairing with summer maxi skirts, shorts or wide leg pants. I hope this look inspires you just as much.

Donna Tella

Whats a better way to bring in your birthday? I couldn't let today pass without doing something I love. For all ladies, the hardest debate is choosing the perfect birthday outfit. You never know how glammed up you want to be. For me, comfort and chic was my go-to decision for my birthday this year. In 1965, Life magazine ran a fashion spread featuring Edie Sedgwick in which they dubbed her: "the girl with the black tights." These tights were part of the poor-little-rich-girl look for most days at Andy Warhol's Factory, and were the first choice for dancers, like myself. Everybody can wear tights as pants, you just have to wear them the correct way, which is why I chose the "tight-pants". Super comfortable and sexy. Shows off every curve. To add some spice I styled it with my gold and black print silk top tucked-in with my double buckle western belt. Accessoriize with A nice pointy toe pump with a mini crossbody bag and your good to go. I hope your birthday outfit was a fun as mines.
