Fashion Spotlight Video: Red TOPMAN Denim

I ordered a pair of red jeans from TOPMAN last month and they made their debut over the weekend. I paired them with a blue shirt from the thrift store and my gray shoes. To accessorize I wore my watch and earrings.


There are many ways to pull off red pants and I plan to show you all how in upcoming post.

Monday Muse: Guy + Elizabeth Olsen

Guy: What made me select this picture were the jeans. Denim jeans with distressing and holes always catch my eye and the dramatic hole on his right leg made me want a pair just like that. Besides the jeans the v-neck cotton 3/4 cut sleeve shirt was a perfect way to balance the look. The fit on both are done perfectly and the shirt was able to show off his body art in a fashionable way as well. 


He is a Monday Muse. Do you agree?

Around the World in Fashion: Russia

I've noticed that a lot of my readers live in Russia and being fashionably curious I went online to see what the fashion scene is like there.


After a quick search, different Russian Fashion Week coverage surfaced:

Here are a few of the Street shots I could find:

If you live in Russia or have any fashionable Russian style photos please submit them and I will feature them in an upcoming post!

Latin Night Inspiration

A few weeks ago I took my Spanish learning and culture immersion on the road.


First, let me backtrack...

• I'm learning Spanish again.
• I'm immersing myself in the Latin & Hispanic cultures

This is the outfit I wore that night. Below you will see me joining the crowd as they celebrate their culture. 


Side-note: There were a lot of fashionable people there, just to dark to get a picture... Next Time!

Monday Muse: Guy + Kourtney Kardashian

Guy: This weeks Monday Muse is very prep inspired. It doesn't cross the line instead it is done tastefully. Loafers and classic jeans rolled. Suspenders over a cow-neck sweater is such an amazing style choice. Elements from this look can be incorporated into your wardrobe very easily.


Is he a Monday Muse or Monday Lose?

Monday Muse: Guy & Kelly Rowland

Guy: When I go to the thrift store I usually look for shirts like he is wearing in this photo. It's vintage inspired and not something I can easily find at a store located in the mall. I actually recently bought a shirt like this from the thrift store. I haven't wore it yet, but I will wear it now that I found this picture. 


What do you think, is he a Monday Muse or Monday Lose?

Gal: Kelly Rowland

Monday Muse: Guy & Beyoncé

Guy: All summer I was on the hunt for a denim vest but failed to find one. When I came across this picture it reminded me of how hard I looked. I came close to finding one, but the denim was to light. If I do find a denim jacket with the right color I will purchase it (if it's a reasonable price) and cut the sleeves like I always intended. 


He is a Monday Muse!

Gal: Beyoncé

Feliz Día de los Muertos!

Here are a few pictures I found online of celebrations for Day of the Dead in Mexico.

Monday Muse: Guy and Nicole Richie

Guy: What attracted me to this look was his sweater. I am obsessed with a good sweater and this one is great. I like how he took a vintage inspired sweater and paired it with a pair of jeans and sneakers. He then accessorized with earring and a baseball cap. His bracelet almost goes unnoticed which is a great addition to his look. He is a Monday Muse.


What do you think is he a Monday Muse or Lose?




Look for the Road...


Gal: Nicole Richie or Jennifer Lopez?

Rihanna Rocks an Indie Style in We Found Love

Rihanna released her latest video We Found Love off of her upcoming album. She and her onscreen man, Dudley O'Shaughnessy(Model & Boxer) take us on a journey of being in love and falling out of love. 


The song is great and is very popular in the clubs and the video is dramatic and reminds me of an Indie Film(think Requiem for a Dream). I enjoyed both the song and the video concept, but my favorite part are all of the wardrobe changes made by the two.


I believe the video was shot across Europe and the wardrobe inspiration is European street fashion. I'm trying to bring that exact style into my own wardrobe everyday. It's a very thrown together look and says I don't care, but reads I do care. 


Take a look at the video below and tell me what you think about the wardrobe. I'll surely be taking style inspiration from this video.

Jason Wu for Target

Fashion designer Jason Wu will be the latest to make a collection for retailer Target. 


This is good news to me because I'm a major fan of Target and believe that Wu is an amazing designer. Pictures for the collection have not been released, but the collection will debut sometime next year for the stores spring fashions.


Are you excited about the Jason Wu and Target collaboration?

As I was writing the post before this I came across this video and thought it would be a perfect addition to Tyra Tuesday. This boy is a YouTube sensation and Tyra is just hilarious.


Enjoy!

Tyra Banks with Modelland

I still have not got my hands on a copy of Modelland by Tyra Banks, but I better try harder if I want to join in on the conversation. 


Thanks to the success of Modelland being ranked number two on The New York Times Bestseller list of Young Adult Novels, Tyra can add another title to her growing list.


I've been a fan since her modeling days, then her talk show, still ANTM, and now publishing. She is doing a lot, but is very focused on redefining the definition of beauty and fashion for young girls and women. 


Congratulations Tyra! You deserve it.

Have you read Modelland or is it on you list of books to read?

Monday Muse: Me & Giuliana Rancic

Guy: David R Jolly

I'm obsessed with this look. The pants, shirt and necklace are all from TOPMAN. My red TOMS, watch, yellow belt, and readers act as great accessories. The cardigan is vintage and was worn to keep me warm for a cool night. The jeans are my favorite part. They are European skinny jeans and I love them. They are skinny in the leg and opens in the crotch, instead of being skinny through the whole pant. And of course I had to strike a pose. I think this look is a Monday Muse!

Look for the Road

Gal: Giuliana Rancic

Just Fabulous is JustFab

I'm a huge fan of Kimora Lee Simmons and she is once again making a mark on the fashion industry. Several years ago she moved on from a certain clothing line to focus on her other ventures and let the world into her life with her Style Network show Life in the Fab Lane.


This year she became the Style Networks Fashion Editor and it was just announced this month that she has become the President and Creative Director for Just Fabulous. 


JustFab.com is a online fashion store that is known for their shoes, but offers more. Kimora hopes to turn it into a lifestyle brand. What's special about the company is the monthly subscription service. Customers pay $40 a month to receive a new pair of shoes that are hand picked to match their style.


It is a cool concept and I'm happy to see Kimora taking over. This company has no choice but to rise. 

Do you subscribe to JustFab?

Fashion Flash: Maxwell

I'm a big fan of singer Maxwell and I've noticed that he is always well dressed. He usually wears a suit, but I was able to find a picture of him looking a bit more casual. He is a well dressed star that deserves a Fashion Flash Moment!

What do you think of his style?

Monday Muse: Guy & Christina Milian

Guy: It is time again to start wearing sweaters and this is the perfect way to celebrate the launch of Fall wear! His entire outfit is amazing. The sunglasses, grey pants and brown belt compliment his bold, fitted sweater so well. I love the prints that are simple but bold. He is a Monday Muse!

What do you think, is he a Monday Muse or Monday Lose?

Look for the road:

Solange Knowles Fashion Week Gold

Solange has been featured on my blog several times and I'm not ashamed. I love her style and how she breaks the rules only the way she can. I'm also happy she is still rocking the natural hair! 


Her style during Fashion week was insane, to bad she will never do a clothing line unless it's a collaboration. 


She has great style and I'm excited for her new album (that should be coming out soon). Until then we will have to deal with her impeccable sense of style.

What was your favorite Solange moment?
