Monochrome Denim

I love to keep things simple so a monochromatic look of any color is right up my ally. For this OOTD I’m showing you a cool monchromatic denim look.

The key to this look is making sure that the pieces are close in color. Contrary to what you may think, the pieces don’t have to be identical. After I decided on these pieces I chose to provides some contrast with my accessories. Just to spice it up a bit more I included my brown envelope purse and black lace up heels. (It’s ok to mix black and brown Lol) Toss in a pair of black sunnies, gold collar necklace and my favorite red lipstick and I’m ready to walk out of the door. It doesn’t get any easier that that!

Leave me a comment about your favorite monochrome look, enjoy!

Cut Out One Piece | OOTD

If you’re still shopping for a swimsuit in mid July it’s because you may not have found the one that you love or you’re shopping for a special occasion. Here’s one more style of “one piece” swim wear that I adore.

This suit provides a monokini look. The cut outs in this one piece give me the feeling of a two piece with a lot more coverage. The top is a halter style with a bit of gathered fabric placed vertically in the center to wake up the black. Of course black is at the top of my favorites list as a color but I Iike to spice it up with texture.

The bottom is high rise and provides full coverage in addition to being connected to the rest of the suit. A simple hook in the back rounds out the details of this suit.

Good Luck if you’re still shopping for a swim suit and don’t count out cool one pieces from you search. Enjoy!

Weekend Wrap Up

This weekend was a blur! I was beyond busy with blogging and things around the house but all-in-all in was GREAT!! I met so many new people, had tons of fun, worked with amazing designers and photographers on photo shoots and even finished OITNB (Orange Is The New Black). Side Note: I can’t believe I have to wait another year for a new season. I’m more than sad about that!

All of my activities started Wednesday with hosting a private preview party at Mod Chic Boutique in Rice Village. I also hosted the Summer Garden Tea Party event at Mod Chic Boutique on Saturday. There is nothing like seeing peoples eyes light up when they lay their eyes on a garment that they know is perfect for them.

Sunday was soooo eventful! I started by attending the Brown Bloggers Brunch at Sweet Paris in City Center. The food was yummy and the company was amazing. Right after that, I traveled a few minutes away to the monthly Houston Bloggers Union meeting. There Elly, Jillian, and Jaclyn discussed ways to discover your value and monetize your blog. They were hilarious to listen to but more than that, they were honest in lending a hand to up and coming bloggers.

Lastly I was able to be a part of Designer Natalie Harris’s Damsel White Label Renegade Shoot Out. Natalie provided her out-of-the-box wedding gowns and models, while vendors brought in bouquets, flower crowns, and almost any prop you could imagine. Photographers were free to style their own shoots by selecting the gowns, models, etc.
