CURRENT FAVORITE DRESS (Inspired by the Nini Circle dress)

No Comments »

Hello My fierce readers,

Today I'm sharing with you all one of my favorite dress inspired by a blogger I really look up to. I am talking about the Nini Nguyen of ninistyle HERE. Her story about how she got into the fashion industry from being an immigrant from Vietnam is quite inspiring. I really love to hear people's success story because it inspires others to see that dreams can come true if you work hard and commit those dreams into God's hands.

I have shared and styled this dress HERE on the blog with a darker look. However, in this post, I restyled the same dress with some bright neon yellow wedges by Micheal Antonio. I hope you enjoyed!

OUTFIT:

Dress: Designed by me (sewn by my mom)

Shoes: Micheal Antonio Gallista

Clutch: Paul Mathurin (@ stylista)

Bracelets: Handmade by @kekefabulous

Here is nini's dress in green

I hope you all have a blessed week

Haute Color and Rich Textures- Alexander McQueen Collection Fall 2013

2 Comments »

Hello my Fierce Readers,

Yes, I understand its a little late to post Fall 2013 collections in the fashion world but why not when it's already Fall season.

Alexander Mcqueen is a designer I always thought had androgynous designs, mixing feminine and masculine pieces in a dark, sexy and unique way. The designer's 2013 Fall Collection is absolutely fabulous with detailed cuts, embroidery and embellishments. All of the designs includes velvet (very popular this season), full skirt, full sleeve blouse and baroque prints.....I JUST LOVE THEM ALL!!!

Personally, I've always loved the dark fall colors like black, oxblood and burgundy but I'm also loving the monochromatic all white or the classic black and white look transitioning from fall into winter. So I am hoping to incorporate these colors this fall and also look out for some pieces I can add to my closet and continue to use in the long run.

ENJOY!!!

This last picture has all of my favorite looks from the collection- these pieces are seriously my style

What piece is your favorite???

I hope you all have a blessed Weekend

Nigerian News in Fashion- Jewel and Lisa

1 Comment »

Hello Readers,
I mentioned earlier in the year that I will be doing few posts on what's going on in Nigerian Fashion. Today, I bring you a very popular, stylish and fierce design named Jewel by lisa. I have followed her line for the past two years and I think she is freaking talented and just absolutely creative with her use of the Ankara fabric and incorporating it into modern styles while maintaining her authenticity. Her design is so popular, she participated in the New York fashion week last year and many American Celebities like Kelis, Lala and Thandie Newton have been seen wearing her pieces.

I know it's a little late to put up spring collections, but I wanted to share anyways and let you my readers bask in a well crafted talent. I hope to meet her one day or even wear her design.

Splurge or Steal - Floral Pumps

No Comments »

Hello My Fierce Readers,

Today, I wanna share with you all a blog post on my recent purchase. I was browsing through the internet the other day on floral pumps based on my recent purchase and I came across a blog about these same shoes. In January, I saw these floral pumps by Elle at Kohl's and I'm not sure what attracted me to them other than the fact that they were glossy and they stand out. I'm all about getting few pieces that most people would not normally reach for. Since our first encounter, I have been stalking the shoes to go on sales everyday (literally) and low and behold the night before I was going to run some errands around my nearest Kohl's I found out the shoes were on sales.

On the blog I came across and mentioned earlier, the Elle floral pumps are very similar to a Alice + Olivia floral pumps that retails for approximately $300. NOW are you ready to hear the price of the steal *Drumroll please*. The Elle floral pumps, originally retail for $60 I believe, they went on sales for $16.99 and your girl paid about $12.50 with coupons.

The point is not to show off how cheap I was able to get these shoes, but how to be wise in spending big amount of cash on certain item. Because these shoes are floral, it is going to be hard to get a lot of wear out of them. So finding a cheaper alternative or waiting for the shoes to go on sales is definitely a strategy that I use all the time. I believe I also shared this in my post about my Michael Antonio cutout wedges HERE.

Same story goes for the Enzo Angiolini Infiniti I just purchased

Retail for $110-120, Got them on sales for $28

So spend wise ladies especially for college Students like Myself

What are your trick when purchasing items you like but are beyond your price range?

BE SURE TO SHARE BELOW.

I am really planning on making a consistent blog post on all the items I have purchased from the beginning of the year after I get a break from school. So pleae bear with me

I hope you all have a blessed weekend

A casual sunday- Black, white and Neon

No Comments »

Hello Readers,

I promised to have better pictures the next time I have a post up. I hope I fulfilled that. My photographer (my sister) is beginning to get tired of me always wanting to take pictures :(

Today I want to share with you a short story about myself that can well apply to anyone out there. I start this blog post with a picture of my back turned because I want to center an idea around the fact that when we have our backs turned to the world people judge us and make assumptions about our well- being. People hate you because of what they see yet they don't know what you battle with behind closed doors. We all judge people to a certain extend but with the things that I continue to experience in life, I am slowly learning to reduce how I might quickly judge the person next to me.

So what do I do to sometime keep myself going in the midst of the crazy things that happen in life, I love to dress up. The mornings I wake up with 0 to negative strength (due to a medical condition), I cry to God acknowledging my physical weakness and trust that he will carry me on his wings to get all that I need to get done for the day. Sunday's are one of my Favorite day of the week and I showcase strength and joy in the way that I present myself through dressing up. Though I attend a small fellowship gathering on campus, I'm always sure I make myself look as presentable as I can most days.

People ask me why I dress the way I do sometimes even during the week, not to say there aren't other students who dress way nicer than I do...BUT I hope you get the point.

IF YOU ARE READING THIS FIND SOMETHING YOU LOVE TO DO TO SHOWCASE THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING THANKFUL FOR HAVING ONE MORE DAY TO CARRY ON WHATEVER BURDEN YOU CARRY. AND IF YOU'RE NOT A BELIEVER, KNOW SOMEWHERE IN YOUR HEART THAT THERE IS SOMEONE WHO TRULY CARES FOR YOU NO MATTER WHAT- AND THAT'S GOD

I hope you all enjoy the photos and that berry looking Lipstick by wet n wild is my current fav right now. It instantly changes the look of my face. Thank you all!

If any of my readers have any suggestions on what they might like to see on the blog

I'm really trying to get more views on the blog, so I'm open to suggestions

Have a blessed week

Hello readers,
It's been a while...just a typical life of a college student. I try to stop by when I can to put up a style post.The classic Black and White has been everywhere from the runway to bloggers sites, but the good thing is that black and white has always been a classic from season to season. This outfit is just two ways I wear the same outfit casual and a little dressy. My shirt is a beige color i'm aware...just please go with the flow lol. I apologize for the roughness in the pictures, they where taken in a rush as I was running errands around town. Be sure to follow me on instagram if you haven't yet @fierceboldnclassy. Here we are...
