Today's fashion inspiration comes from a beautiful hip hop star that was tragically taken too soon. Aaliyah was not only an amazing singer and actress, but a real trend-setter. Her clothing and hair was always striking and forward-thinking. Let's take a look at her style choices and try to channel some inspiration!

Aaliyah was all about two great trends: crop tops and baggy boyfriend jeans. It sure helps when you have a rockin' bod too! Also, Aaliyah and bejeweled items go hand in hand.

Menswear is something else that Aaliyah wore a lot. Fitted hats, high waisted jeans, and big sweatshirts and tees. Don't forget the hoops!
Let's look at some inspiration for us, shall we?

Happy Monday! I love art - in fact, I can't remember a time when I didn't! My parents enjoyed taking me to museums as a child. One of the first artists I grew to love was Andy Warhol. Pop Art is a fairly easy way to get into art, I think. Bright colors and iconic images are quite easy to remember!

Not only was Warhol an amazing illustrator and screen-printer, he took some excellent photos. They are usually of beautiful celebrities or pop culture icons. They have such a dreamy quality to them that they instantly transport you into Warhol's high profile life. I thought that I would post some of my favorites here to give us some inspiration on a dreary Monday.

My favorites of Warhol's are his captivating and extremely personal Polaroids. How could I pick just one? Here is a collage of many of his greatest.

John Gould in Sea, 1982

People On The Street, 1980

Self Portrait in Drag, 1981

Happy Wednesday everybody! Since I am back to regular blogging now, it's time to revive our usual series where we look at an inspirational lady and take some fashion notes from her. Today, I'm talking about Solange!

Solange is a seriously talented singer....oh, and I guess she has a pretty well-known family too. She is very bold and vibrant, in both her fashion and beauty looks. Her hair is usually big and fabulous, and her clothing makes her stand out. Even though it's the fall time, we can still rock these bright looks. Let's take a look at some pictures of her and dissect what makes her style so special.

With Solange, a lot of the drama and excitement comes from her hair. Whether it is a small afro or a large mass of curls, her hair is always perfection. With hair that's so prominent, her makeup is minimal - except for a pop of color on the lips!

Solange is NOT afraid of bold prints. Even this allover print looks chic on her - it's all about proportions and the cut. 

Solange isn't afraid to mix prints. This look is balanced and colorful, as well as fun. Mixing it up makes your look casual and chic...and will probably have all your friends begging you to style them.

When working with bright colors, make sure the shapes are long and lean. Solange looks like a FIERCE popsicle here! The long coat and dress and the perfect way to balance the bright hues.

Finally, menswear! Solange loves to wear blazers and looser fitting pants. Sexy doesn't have to mean tight clothing! This look is powerful. Pairing a tailored blazer with the trousers in bold neutrals = perfection.

Now that we've seen the staples of Solange's style, here are a few pieces to help us channel her fierceness:



Solange's Essentials:
Boxy trousers
Trim blazer in a solid color
Bright colors
Patterns in separates
Bold lipstick
Mixing prints together
Solid dresses in bright hues
Large sunglasses

Cara Delevingne is one of the most popular models at the moment (see the cover of Vogue's September issue). Not only is she extremely versatile, she is stunning in such an unconventional way. She's young with killer bone structure and obviously, some serious eyebrows. Thank god she's bringing the brow game up!

You may think to yourself: I wish that I could look like a model. HEY GIRL, you're already flawless - channel your inner Cara every day. Here's some inspiration for her outward style and appearance:


Those brows. You don't need much makeup with a gorgeous natural face like this!
Beanie, drainpipes, boots, and a casual t-shirt and jacket. EASY menswear-inspired outfit!
Oversized tee and skinnies with a rocker vibe of big hair and a leather jacket.

Here are some pieces that I think would stop a street-style photographer:
CARA'S ESSENTIALS:
VERY tight skinnies - destroyed, khaki, whatever your preference is!
Some kind of menswear jacket - leather or denim, preferably.
Combat boots
Beanie (silly sayings are a plus)
Oversized band or logo tee
Brow powder/filler and brushes - fill those brows in, let them grow, and keep them in check! When brows are your main attraction, keep everything else on the eye neutral and go for a bold lip.

Good morning everyone! Did you happen to catch some of the Emmys last night? I usually never watch an entire awards show, but overall I thought it was a great night! Of course, Breaking Bad and Modern Family stole the show (although J was rooting for True Detective & we both love OITNB).

I thought that the fashion of the night was pretty well done. There are always some hits and misses. I especially loved the prominence of women in white and red. Here are some of my favorite looks (coincidentally, there are repeat designers in here too - a few really knocked it out of the park!).

Laverne Cox in Marc Bouwer

Sarah Hyland in Christian Siriano

Uzo Aduba in Christian Siriano

Taylor Schilling in Zuhair Murad

Camila Alves in Zuhair Murad
