50 Shades of Summer

Designer Spotlight: Chavon Sewell

Sunshine Orange Braided Bandeau Tube Top

Reversible Sunshine Orange Tie Dye Cut Out Contour Dress

Now that summer has officially began. Here are some of the trends I have been following and raves that I love this season. Summer to me means big hair, bright colors, tie dye, floral prints and protective styling for my "naturals" when it comes to hair tips. Subtle make up, sun kissed skin, shades of nude, skin tight denim in many variations (ripped, frayed, dyed, and acid stained) lets not forget those sexy, shoes with straps for days.

Aquamarine Tie Dye Halter Jumpsuit

Indie Artist, Chavon Sewell. Sporting her rendition of tie dye with her romper designed by Sewell herself for Chavon Shree which can be found on Etsy or Jeante One of One Boutique here locally in Little Rock, AR. Designer is shown again in the bottom picture in her Chavon Shree High Waist Wide Leg Pants in a vibrant lime green complemented by an Urban Outfitters triangle cut out tank in contrasting grey.

These Bold High Waist Pants are sure to be a conversation starter from Indie Designer Chavon Sewell for Chavon Shree fashions. I would pair them with my favorite chunky heel platform or a sassy wedge for a more heightened look to add lift for the fit of the wide legs of these fashionable trousers.

Summer isn't quite summer without a vacay/mini-vacay or weekend getaway just relax, unwind, and reset from all of the crazies that we deal with the other 275 calendar days of the year. So be sure to take time out to take time off this summer. No telling where I was headed but car selfies are the best to me. #Wavy

White Tank Scuba Dress with Mesh Back (LuLus) Cobalt Blue Skirt with White Aztec Print hem (Francesscas) Watch (Michael Kors) Accessories (Vintage) Yellow Single Strap Open Toe Heeled Sandal (Steve Madden)

White is the epitome of summer fashion colors my opinion. From all white partys, to the age old fashion rule of "No white before Easter or After Labor Day" but anywhere in between is fair game....Well obviously that rule no longer applies because in fashion right now there are no rules! I complemented this ensemble with a loud yellow single strap open toe sandal. Highlighted with a Cobalt Blue Skirt with Ivory Aztec print around the hem. My hair is one of my favorite no fuss go to styles in warmer weather. Braids. In any variation, these faux locs are called Marley Twists (yeah like Bob) and were very cute for the weekend festivities.

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...
