Fancy Pants

There is no doubt that this OOTD is unique, but it embodies the very idea behind Jaided325 Boutique. Jai’s mantra is” vintage meets chic” and this is a wonderfully exciting example of that!

When I first saw these “fancy pants” I knew I had to put them on my body! It’s such a fun piece with so much fluidity and movement. I must admit that I could NOT stop shaking my booty when I had these pants on! They really made it hard to stop dancing. (Ha ha) When you step into the room wearing these pants you automatically own it!  I paired them with a vintage sequin top for added contrast and glamour.

Now lets talk about the fit of the top and pants. The sequin top has a loose fit so it was begging to be tucked in. The pants are sized to European standards so I had to go up a size for them to fit comfortably. The fancy pants also have a pretty high rise and waist which I think works well for my body type. I don’t have an hourglass shape, in fact I’m pretty straight. So high rise pants give me the waist I don’t really have.

If you are looking for truly unique pieces to add to your wardrobe definitely check out Jaided325 in the Art Square Studios at 2315 Commerce.

Happy Thursday,  Enjoy!

 

  

  

 

The Cusp Fashion Event by Neiman Marcus

The Cusp Fashion Event at Neiman Marcus last night felt like a meeting of the minds for fashionable and talented women! I mean, from the moment I arrived I met so many intelligent women with wonderful things to say. I even found a new BFF! Lol (Hey Lacey!!)


The music was awesome and the fashion was great. Trending for spring right now is anything off the shoulder, lots of denim, wide leg (flare,bootcut) pants, tons of lace, and bright red-orange colors.

 

The panelist for the evening included WNBA star Skylar Diggins, Actress Laura Bell Bundy,  BKR Founder Kate Cutler, and Molly Bernade from the lifestyle blog “A Piece of Toast“.

It was wonderful to hear the story behind the BKR glass water bottles from the founder her self. We often become innovative out of necessity and thats the story behind the BKR bottles. Kate and her partner Tal just felt like they were drinking from trash when they would throw away plastic water bottles after drinking it all. Creating something beautiful that is also sustainable helped them to stay excited about drinking their daily intake of water.


Actress Laura Bell Bundy was hilarious as usual as she explained to us that trying to choose a favorite between tv acting, broadway and signing was like trying to choose a parent. You kind of need them all! Ha ha! Her true love is with performing in general. No need to start picking sides 🙂

 When it comes to fashion, Skylar Diggins can’t go with out a black leather jacket. She was even wearing one last night. It’s a super versatile piece that is never going out of style. The true staple of her wardrobe in her “CONFIDENCE”! Just like one of her style icons Zendaya,  she feels she can wear and do anything if she is confident when she does it.


Rounding out the panelist is blogger Molly Bernade who’s current obsession is off the shoulder tops. She’s hoping they don’t go out of style too soon because of her current “investment” into so many of them. Lol  Her advice to new bloggers is to be original in your voice and content because that’s what others will love about you.


The evening was amazing and I can’t wait until the next event! Feel free to share this recap with other beautiful ladies, Enjoy!

Kaleidoscope Houston 2016| Imaginarium 

Not to sound cliché but Kaleidoscope Houston 2016 Imaginarium was more than I could have imagined! (Lol) As I walked into the Vivaldi Stone Boutique, the first thing I thought was, “Why didn’t I know about this space before tonight?!?!?” It looked like a museum exhibit dedicated to beautifully curated natural stone slabs. It’s still hard to believe that it’s primarily a show room and not a social venue.

DJ FXBOX OLMOS kept the grooves and tunes flowing the entire evening. Art for the evening was provided by Jammie Hawkins, Mark Deleon, and Justin Pelke. The fashion forward host Shawn Flowers and hilarious Chris Thomas interacted so well with the crowd. They kept us laughing and smiling the whole time and made us apart of the night via an impromptu dance party.

The live performances by Fenyx Aerial, Stella Marie Manalo, Toki Singh, and Son Kiss’d set us all on fire! Vintage collector and stylist Heather Petrey sent unique combos down the runway that showed her eclectic style. The modern romantic pieces from Of Myth + Muse by Emelia Natalicchio left us wondering how quickly her pieces would be available to take home. (Ha ha!) Glove designer Damari Rubio of Damari & CO., Jewelry designer Michelle Yue of Shopnonhuman, and fashion designer André Redou came together for a special collaboration that will never be forgotten.

As the night was coming to a close, I couldn’t get over the budding excitement for Kaleidoscope 2017. I know Pamela Andino and the entire Kaleidoscope team has something even more extraordinary up their sleeves. Journey through the experience yourself by checking out the photos. Don’t be shy, leave a comment if something catches you eye! 🙂 Enjoy!

Kaleidoscope Houston 2016 | Jet Set

The phrase Jet Set can be described as an international social group of affluent people who travel the world to participate in social activities sometimes unavailable to ordinary people. Pamela Andino of Ubertina Productions pulled this theme off without a hitch.

Jet Set was the theme for Night 2 of Kaleidoscope Houston 2016. Guests arrived at La Mansion to the tunes of GenerAsian Radio. Hosts for the evening Chyna Wheatly and John Newinn only added to the international vibes. The eclectic attire worn by guests was pleasing to the eye and helped bring the Jet Set feel to life.

The nontraditional runway definitely peaked everyone’s attention and made us all feel like we were going on a adventure and having a unique experience. The runway was blazed by the classic designs of Steven Guthrie , the very sexy swim wear designed by Jessica Lombana, and the couture Meru Merus collection by Umair Khan.

The bilingual spoken word poetry by Christopher Polanco, dance performances by Culturally Yours & Son Kiss’d Dance company, as well as the flaming special performance by Saturn Hoops gave us all an authentic jet set experience. The opportunity to see such extraordinary culturally diverse performances and designs left me feeling so appreciative that I live in such a big melting pot. Take the journey with us through the photos and feel free to leave a comment 🙂 Enjoy!
