Today is the first day of spring! Woohoo! OK, my loves, I don’t know what the weather is like in your neck of the woods, but it’s beautiful here in Los Angeles. I hope it’s like that wherever you are. Fingers crossed. I wanted to come in and give you my two cents on a few things we should have to be ready for these beautiful spring days. It’s by no means mandatory, LOL! You probably already have most of these pieces anyways. Are you ready?

MAGIC, Project, and Pool Tradeshow Photos

February 19, 2012 Posted on February 19, 2012 by Monique

Here are the rest of my photos from MAGIC, Project, and the Pool Tradeshow. Like I had said before, these spaces were so huge! There was such an array of clothes and accessories. Once again, we didn’t get to see everything. MAGIC and Project were home to fashion brands, while the Pool Tradeshow was more of the indie designers and brands. It was amazing. Ivory (www.ivoryjinelle.blogspot.com) and I had a chance to chat with the ladies over at Nation LTD. They’re really passionate about their plus pieces that you can find at Nordstrom. That’s very inspiring! I also fell in … Continue reading →

Wanted: Oversized Sunglasses

January 22, 2012 Posted on January 22, 2012 by Monique

Sunglasses + me = Love. I adore them and they are one of my favorite accessories. I was doing what I do best…online window shopping on a Saturday night and I ran across a few pairs that really caught my eye. And they all happened to be oversized. In a Jackie O kind of way of course. But, I was watching Scarface and Michelle Pfeiffer was rocking them too. Loved her style in that movie! Anyways, back to the sunglasses. I can already see myself wearing them this spring and summer with my favorite maxi dress. It’s time to find … Continue reading →

Mad for Metallics

January 5, 2012 Posted on January 5, 2012 by Monique

Look mom! I like something besides sequins! Yes, my loves, I’m venturing into metallics. Whether it’s a top, jacket, shoe, or even a handbag-getting in on the shine will make you stand out. And if you don’t want to go all out, then why not add something with a touch of metallic. It’s a great way to break up an all-black outfit. I put together a few collages below. The first three are outfits with a few touches of metallic. Each one has it’s twist. Then you have a selection of a few bags and clutches I wouldn’t mind getting my hands … Continue reading →

Bauble Alert: All Dangled Up

January 4, 2012 Posted on January 4, 2012 by Monique

They’re called shoulder dusters, dangle earrings, drop earrings, strand earrings, and even chain earrings. I’m going to go ahead and stick with “dangle” because that’s pretty much what they do. And that’s what I’d like them to do. You know…just dangle there and look pretty. But, sometimes I’m worried they’re going to get caught in my hair. That would not be fun. They do look cool though. What do you think? Are dangle earrings on your radar?

December 30, 2011 Posted on December 30, 2011 by Monique

It’s New Year’s Eve-Eve! Woohoo! I don’t know what I’m “woohoo-ing” about, I’m still not sure where this chick will be when the clock strikes midnight. But, if I was going out, I’d definitely wear something along the lines of the three looks below. Simply chic with a pops of color is how I explain these outfits. And if you’re one of those last minute, running around the mall, and looking for something to throw together shoppers-then these should be easy to find pieces. My friend Ivory totally inspired the black and gold look. She has a vintage dress that’s … Continue reading →

‘All I want for Christmas’ is Rachel Roy Jewelry

December 15, 2011 Posted on December 15, 2011 by Monique

Surprise, Surprise…I still haven’t done any Christmas shopping. I’m going to be hating myself in a few days. But, for now, I will continue to think about what I need to add to my gift list. Like, this jewelry from the Rachel Roy line. I’ve written about her before and I will admit some of the designs are “hit or a miss.” The pieces below are a definite hit in my book. I can see myself wearing all of it (hint hint). Are you a Rachel Roy fan?

GlassesUSA.com to the Eye Rescue!

December 10, 2011 Posted on December 10, 2011 by Monique

I can see youuuuuuuu! I’m wearing my brand new eye glasses courtesy of GlassesUSA.com. These frames are sleek, lightweight, and super stylish. I was able to browse through the different frame styles, shapes, and colors; all while using their “Virtual Mirror.” You get to “try on” the prescription glasses virtually and even send the photo to your friends. I filled my prescription, chose the lens, and what coatings I wanted so easily. I will say that you do have to search for the exact dimensions of your glasses. Not every frame comes in your size. For example a few of … Continue reading →
