Glam-Aholic Retail Therapy: Fur Stole

Ladies, don’t you just love fur?! Well, I can’t get enough! Seriously, I just love fur (faux or real) whatever your preference, it’s the ultimate accessory for the Fall/Winter seasons. And, this year designers every where are obsessed with fur stoles.

Fur stoles are the perfect stylish option to throw on when you’re getting ready to walk out the door. I mean how simple is it to throw a stole around your neck or drape it around your shoulders?! As easy as 1, 2, 3 and they’ll keep you warm on those dreadful cold days.  Since I was looking for a trendy fur stole and  didn’t want to spend a lot of money, I checked online for a stylish fur stole at affordable price that would give me that celebrity look for less.

I was so relieved to find a few options of fur stoles at several different stores that would give me the look I was going for. Whether I’m running out the door to take my daughter to school or on my way to an event, I can toss on a fur stole to give my look a boost.  I can’t wait for the weather to officially charge so I can rock my fur stole!

Glam-Aholic Retail Therapy: Leather Tops

All of a sudden I began to notice something, everyone has now started to ditch their leather jackets for leather tops! Maybe it’s due to the fact that it’s pretty hot since it’s Summer, that everyone has switched for grabbing a leather shirt instead of outerwear. I’ve seen them in all forms from crop tops to tube tops and even leather button-ups.

While out shopping at H&M last week I picked up this sheer and “leather” top for only $25! Casual enough to pair with jeans or to get a little edgy, I may rock it with a skirt. I’m not quite sure yet, but I’ll post my look whenever I decide to wear it!

I found another “leather” top while out shopping at Swank Boutique (Instagram: SwankAPosh) and I just couldn’t leave it! Don’t you just LOVE when that happens?! lol It being a crop top was like a 2 for 1 deal and I had to have it. Immediately thinking of a look in my mind, I knew I wanted to tone it down with a simple classy bottom to balance out such a sexy top. Just think about it. Black…leather…form fitting…low cut and cropped; that’s a recipe for pure sexiness. And since that wasn’t the look that I was going for, I went with a pair of high-waist bronze trousers from Forever 21 to keep it safe.

The shirt is available now at Swank Boutique! Phone orders can be made at 1-855-SwankAPosh.

Glam-Aholic Trend Alert: Tangerine

Get ready to take your wardrobe to new degrees with the shade of Tangerine! That’s right the ripening orange hue is one of the year’s juiciest color. And, we can’t help but to notice the fruit inspired color on everything, from fingertips, lipsticks, clothing and accessories. Not quite Red, yet not quite Orange….Team Tangerine has officially started a takeover! Since the beginning of Spring our celebrity fashionista’s have been awaking their wardrobe with Tangerine. When Beyonce made her first appearance after giving birth to Blue Ivy; her radiant tangerine dress didn’t go unnoticed. The universally appealing shade made her the talk of the town the very next day.

Your stylizing options are endless when you’re basking in glowing shade.  You can sweeten up your look with neutral tones or “go bright or go home”, pairing it with other bright colors for a color blocking masterpiece.  You know you can always rock Tangerine accessories for a smaller approach.

Team Glam-Aholic’s mission is to make your wardrobe effortless and inexpensive, so we created “3 Ways to Wear Tangerine”. It’s our cheat sheet to rockin’ this poppy punch hue no matter the occasion. When you add one Tangerine item to your look, you’ll stand out rather than be overlooked.

 Although Summer is almost over, you can still put it on smash by adding Tangerine to your wardrobe and carrying it over into Fall!

Glam-Aholic Trend Alert: Headpieces

All my Glam-Aholics who love vintage inspired jewelry get ready to go BOHO for this fad. Celebs from Nicole Richie, Kim Kardashian to Amber Rose have all been spotted rockin’ these decked out headpieces.

Don’t you just love my Oh! Kouture embellished headpiece?! These headpieces are the perfect combination of old meets new school glam with an urban twist! I don’t know what is, but when I’m wearing my headpieces…I feel like Grecian Goddess or Princess Jasmine LOL!  I can not stop wearing it. Everyday I’m looking for an excuse to wear my headpiece with everything in my closet!

Although the headpiece is very glitz and glam, it can easily be dressed down with distress jeans and tee for a laid-back look. And, I must say Oh! Kouture’s quality is A-1, my daughter has twisted it up several times and it has remained intact!

I’m definitely going to make headpieces my new jewelry staple! I can’t wait to add more to my collection.

Glam-Aholic Trend Alert: High Splits

Go ahead, show off a little thigh! Yes, that’s right, Glam-Aholics show off those sexy stems this spring! In an alluring high slit gown or skirt, it’s easy to attract everyone’s attention. While showcasing a fly pair of sky high heels or cute sandals, neither size nor height matters when flashing your legs!  Not only is this trend for the nightlife, this revealing skirt is just the right touch for an easy breezy Spring fit. Rihanna shows us the perfect way to transition this piece from the red carpet to the side walk…

High splits give you the illusion of longer legs and flatters your silhouette. Make sure you oil up those thighs and legs to create a natural glow!  Although a high split can be sophisticated and sexy, I would still leave a little to the imagination by not letting the slit go pass your thighs…

Although many of us will not be walking the red carpet anytime soon, this look can work for us in a casual way. On the beach, a great “date night” look with a pair of wedges or if you’re just feeling a little sexy…show a little leg! Showing a little leg can go a long way lol!

Whether short or tall, we can all rock this trend. Putting the spotlight on your legs is the perfect showcase for your body and most importantly your style!

Glam-Aholic Trend Alert: Tomboy Chic

So being a tomboy is trending now? Thank goodness I’ve remained true to myself and never changed, so this trend comes natural to me lol! I’ve said it once…I’ll say it again, I’m a true tomboy at heart. I love rocking sneakers and jeans, but in a split second I can change into full Glam-Aholic mode and rock 5 inch platforms pumps. Recently, we’ve seen girls everywhere wearing their sneakers with everything from skirts to jumpsuits….and I love it! I wore my pair of Jordan 11′s this past weekend with a white button up, bubble vest and a pair of leather patch leggings that I got from H&M 2 years ago…

I’ve also posted before about rockin’ my Jordan 3′s with a pair of tribal leggings and a blazer…

On a day of errands and running around the city handling Glam-Aholic business, I incorporated my ‘Same Girl…Different Hair’ sweatshirt with my exclusive pink Jordan 1′s…

Another “tomboy” trend you may see going on now, is a oldie but goodie! I’ve had a fresh pair of wheat Timberlands each year for as far back as I can remember. No longer just for the boys to rock, we are now also taking over this look and I’ve even seen a few ladies rock theirs with dresses! Not just for facing a couple inches of snow, wheat Timberlands are now about showcasing your style to see in what stylish way can you pull them off!

I threw on my Timbs with a pair of acid washed jeans and an off the shoulder Flashdance sweatshirt that my BFF picked up for me from Forever 21…

We all know that fashion repeats! This trend is nothing new to me as I’m sure it’s not to many of you. We can go back to TLC and Aaliyah being the queens of making dressing like a tomboy SEXY! And now it’s back. Girls everywhere are trading a day off of wearing 5 inch Christian Louboutins in for a pair of Jordans and Timberland boots. Let’s keep in mind….There’s nothing more stylish than being comfortable!

Glam-Aholic Trend Alert: Capes

Let’s put the pea coats to the side for a moment and rock out with it’s distant cousin…the CAPE! This Winter season everyone is raving about capes. The classic and sophisticated sleeveless outerwear garments will keep you stylishly warm during the holiday season..

Not to be confused with ponchos, capes have slits and fasten just like coats. They’re the perfect piece for layering and transitioning for the weather. Cropped capelets can be worn over sweaters, skinny jeans, and thigh high boots. Or go for a more modern twist by pairing it with sick shades, leggings and platform pumps..

Capes add lots of volume, so you’ll want to keep your look underneath to a minimum! You can rock a cape no matter your size. Belted capes that accentuate a waist works perfectly for plus-size Glam-Aholics! Keep your eyes open while out Christmas shopping over the next few weeks, you may run into a few capes that you MUST purchase for your wardrobe!

New York & Company Cape Shirred Waist $55

Forever 21 Wool-Blend Poncho $37.80

Be sure to check out other stores such as Macy’s, TJ Maxx or Express!

Glam-Aholic Trend Alert: Thigh High Boots

Winter is here and it’s time to pull out those sexy thigh high boots! Well if you’re any thing like me, they were never put away from last year! I’d often times wear mine in the Summer with a pair of booty shorts or a mini-dress. Teyana Taylor rocked her with a pair of denim Daisy Dukes, graphic t-shirt and vest…mixing hers boyish style with the sex appeal of the thigh boots..
The over-the-knee boots are an essential piece to have in your wardrobe, it offers you versatility. Besides keeping your legs warm in the Winter, these fierce boots will give you the ability to mix really soft & casual pieces with the rough added flare that  black leather thigh boots bring to a look!
Not only as platform, 5 or 6 inch heels…flat thigh boots are a must-have also. Transitioning from day to night, or from casual to dressy…this trend can still be accomplished. A plain white t-shirt, jeans and a jacket will make the cycle complete, you can NOT go wrong with that!
