Spring/Summer '14

Hey! IT'S BEEN LONG OVERDUE. I'm still here, just needed some time to see where I wanted to go with my blog due to my upcoming absence I will be taking (again)...due to Military Basic Training.  So to make up for the many weeks passed....I will be highlighting the premiere events from this season including Jhene' Aiko breakout performance at Coachella Music Festival, Met Gala, the upcoming Free Press Summer Festival in Houston, TX and this spring's biggest fashion trends that I find awesome. As well as new indie music artists I'm listening to currently, new designers, and "What I Wore".

BTS at this years 2014 Coachella Music Fest.

Let's started with what I would call the most coveted music festival of the season Coachella Music Festival 2014 . Takes place annually in the valley of Indio, California mid April.  This years line up was full of big list artists as well as many up and rising stars. Including: OUTKAST (OMG I was so ready to see a reunion for the hands down best rap duo of a generation), Muse, and Arcade Fire Headlined the showcase. Appearances from Beck, Haim, Nas, Pharrell, Childish Gambino, and Drake to name a few. The style star of the party in the valley had to be hands down songbird Jhene' Aiko, L.A. native singer who has appeared on some A-List star's tracks over the past 13 months (like Drake's From Time from 2013 NWTS, Kendrick Lamar's Growing Apart on his Overly Dedicated LP).  Jhene' rocked the epitome of festival style which in a way has become a signature event for spring/summer fashion trends. #Culture
Stunning in Black Lace Bralett and Soft, Floral, Double Slit Maxi Skirt.
Jhene' performing her entire debut Sail Out  EP  on this years Coachella Stage.
Another rocking upcoming Summer event would have to be Free Press Music Festival in Houston, Texas. This is dedicated to indie musicians and artists alike the weekend of May 31st- June 1st, 2014. 
The headliner that took my eye would have to be Ms. Lauryn Hill. Love, Love, Love her. Not too mention all of the legendary Texas Trill rappers all on one stage who pretty much started a southern rap movement in the late 1990's early 2000's, anyone ever heard of " Chopped&Screwed" music. A$AP Rocky should pay homage to these leaders of the new wave trend that's not so new.


Back to fashion. Even though fashion and music somewhat intermix and intertwine somewhere along the lines. Let's leave the festival styles alone for a minute and the more casual approach and take it a few notches higher...I'm talking High Fashion at this years annual Met Gala in New York City, New York. These are the  buzz worthy styles that shook us up and made me look.
Olivia Munn looked gorge in this deep V Marigold gown by DVF.
KimYe elegant as ever. Kim wore Lanvin.

Kristen Stewart the face of Chanel wore the Fashion House effortlessly.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Wowed in Balmain.

The Beckham's dazzled in Ralph Lauren. Victoria is a Goddess.

Yonce' stole the show in this ensemble by Givenchy.
Okay, enough of the upper echelon and back to the day to day fab. One of the biggest fashion trends I'm really following this Spring is Tye-Dye. It's my inner hippie :)
Last but not least would have to be over sized sun glasses in all kinds of funky shapes, I really dig these mint tinted circles frames I purchased recently from ole faithful Forever 21 and my lovely curls for the girls hunty is my favorite accessory this season from D Hair Boutique in Burmese wavy/curly 100% Natural, Unprocessed, Virgin Hair. Great for Natural girls.

Black, White, and Metallic Party Dresses #NYE14

Well the holidays are in full swing now, with Thanksgiving behind us. The Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals long gone.....The only thing left on the holiday to do list, after the annual gift giving season is none other than the BIGGEST PARTY OF THE YEAR. NEW YEARS EVE ! I'm a Black and White type of girl for these occasions. Real classic, vintage, old Hollywood type fashion, but I also enjoy the glitz and glamor of the holiday season too. Especially on New Years Eve you want to make sure to give a lasting impression and start the year off right turning heads, no correction breaking necks in jaw dropping designs. One thing to keep in mind though when dress shopping is to remember to dress accordingly to whats comfortable for YOU. Also what looks good on ones body type does not look good on all....I'm sorry. So do not let the one size fits all lie get you. One size fits most. Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone, and have fun most importantly. He...
