Get The Look: Stylepantry Blogger Colorblock Maxi Dress
I’ve been on the search for a dress like this ever since I’ve seen it on blogger Style Pantry a few months ago! I lucked out and found a similar style on www.sheinside.com and snatched it up right away! It’s a really cute dress that I think would be perfect for work, date night or out with the girls. SheInside ships from overseas, but I still received my dress in a few days. They have a lot of cute/trendy styles there at decent prices…so it’s definitely a site to check out. Important tip when shopping this site, is that while most items are sized S-L, I would say there large is a true size 9/10.
Listed below are similar accessories to pair with this look:
1.Kelsey Suede Ankle Strap Sandals $99.99- AnnTaylor
2.Premium Ophelia Cross Necklace $50.91- Asos
3. Wrap It Up Belt $46- Athleta
4. Mixed Stretch Bangles $10 - Ava's Box
Enjoy your day!!
Closet Envy: Shala Monroque
Style Maven Shala Monroque: heavily in in the fashion and art scene, seen in the front rows during fashion week, on the street, magazines, It parties, etc. and always chic. I personally love the fact that she is, first and foremost, very elegant in style and beauty and secondly, has a wardrobe to die for! Last and definitely not least, I love the fact that she stands out in a sea of familiar white faces that seems to be the norm in the fashion world. Fashion knows no color, of course, but its refreshing to see a woman of color in the spotlight. As they say, variety IS the spice the of life :-)!!
Not a singer or actress, this St. Lucia native, has quietly been making her mark in the fashion world. I say quietly because only those in the know of the real fashion world have heard of her. Yet she is a muse and personal friend to Muccia Prada, girlfriend to a mega art dealer Larry Gagosian and also serves as Creative Director for Garage Magazine. Ms. Monroque is definitely one to watch!
I would love to take a look at her closet, which I'm sure is full of Prada, Givenchy and other big name labels I can only dream about! In the meantime, I'm checking for look for less options that I can get myself. See my Shala Monroque Inspired Pieces style set for look for less options and for other pieces that I feel are Monroque- esque!
Enjoy :-)!

Trend of the Moment: Mirrored Sunglasses
Happy Monday all!! I hope your weekend was pleasant :-)! I was busy this weekend on a few projects that I'm working on, as well as, starting the packing process for my birthday trip next week. I pretty much have everything needed, but do want to get a few more things, e.g. these mirrored sunglasses I keep seeing.
I first saw these a while back on bloggers like Aimee Song from Song of Style (see 2nd pic) and Andy Torres from Style Scrapbook (see 3rd pic). My faves are the red, blue and black versions but there are also other color options like orange, pink, green and yellow to choose from. I would definitley pick a color that works with your skin tone. Also, if you're not sure which color to get you can always opt for the classic black or even a look for less style in the colored versions. I never invest too much into trends, they come and go, and my investments are usually saved for classics. However, I personally love these options as an update to shapes and styles we've seen over and over, so will try this trend out! Below, I posted some style inspirations found on pinterest today!
Check them out and let me know what you think :-)!!

Summer Print Inspiration via Stella Jean
I don't think I even need to tell you why I’m in love with this designer collection! I first heard about Stella Jean while checking out fellow blogger Tiger Tem's site and immediately fell in love. Stella Jean is an Italian based designer of Italian and Haitian descent and her diverse background has inspired this seamless collaboration of cultures. This collection is prints galore and the styling is AMAZING! I would have never thought to style and match some of these prints together but I’m so glad someone did and opened me to a whole new world!! Of course, this is my inspiration for this summer. I’m looking for dresses, cropped pants and tops in amazing prints like these. Wish me luck and enjoy your day everyone :-)!!

Vacation Essentials from Mango.com
Happy Monday all! It's getting down to the wire for me as far as getting ready for this trip and I need to get started!I went to Mango last week on my lunch break and found a lot of inspiration on what to wear in PR. Im not going to go overboard with the shopping, so a huge money saving tactic for me is to instead incorporate a few key trends with pieces I already have. 
(images via shop.mango.com)
I'll start packing what I have and then fill in what I still need; I rather spend that extra money on things to do. The only things I really need for this trip is 2 more swimsuits and 2 dresses for when I go out. One outfit idea, I posted from Topshop the other day, is a definite dress option. As far as my wants, the easiest and most affordable way to add in is with accessories. I love these options from Mango, especially the jewelry and studded sandals! Now its just a matter of narrowing down my choices:-)....enjoy your day everyone!
