Glam-Aholic Remix: Kim Kardashian’s Aqua Blue Pencil Skirt

By on May 17, 2013   /   Fashion   /   Leave a comment

I saw this picture of Kim K. back in October and absolutely LOVED the way she incorporated her denim button-up with her aqua blue leather skirt. Mixing casual with dressy is a hit when properly done! I admired the look and went on about my life knowing that I would probably never find an aqua blue leather skirt lol Soon after I saw this picture I found out I was pregnant and immediately started shopping for my upcoming months. I knew that Asos had a Maternity line that was sure to keep moms stylish while pregnant, so that was my first stop! And what did I see?!

Although not leather, it was an aqua blue pencil skirt! And it was on sale for $12, so I couldn’t beat that with a bat lol! I immediately smelled a Glam-Aholic Remix coming on…

I drew inspiration from Kim’s look and rocked my remix. I would’ve worn the skirt earlier in my pregnancy, but I purchased it in a much larger size thinking that I would’ve gained a bunch of weight over time. That didn’t happen, so I had to wait and pull the skirt over my 7 month belly. Grabbed one of my favorite denim tops and since I’m no fan of white shoes (I do not and probably will not ever own a pair)…I rocked my “old faithful” red leather calf boots. And this…is…the remix *Diddy voice*

I also want to state that even during my pregnancy, I still wear my shapewear! Nothing is more unflattering than wearing a great outfit without support and a smooth execution. (that goes for you baby-less women also) Find maternity support/shapewear or just go up in size at any department store!

Glam-Aholic Of The Week: Brittany

Fashion vs. Style, what’s the difference between the two? Do you feel that people get these meanings confused? Fashion is created, style is something that one naturally posseses. I do believe that many confuse Fashion with style and I understand how it can be confusing. You see these amazing looks on the runway and celebrities and you think, ” I want to wear that! And obviously if I wear what is “hot” I have style” but that is not the case. It is important to pull inspiration from your favorite looks and make them your own. Otherwise everyone looks the same and that is so boring and definitley not fabulous.

HHJGJK

What are some of your favorite trends that are happening right now? I am loving the monochromatic trend, Leather, Peplum, Neon, Oxblood, and anything with clean lines!

Have your ever committed a fashion crime? Do tell the details! LOL oh my, I don’t know if I would catergorize them as “Fashion Crimes” but I do have a few “What was I thinking?” moments as my style continues to evolve! I remember wearing this caged wire top. It was just so overly trendy and I cringe everytime I see the pics lol.

3

What are your 3 favorite hot spots to hit and find great pieces? My top 3 favorite places to shop are Asos, Zara, and Forever 21. I can always count on these stores to have something have something that fits my style and my budget.

2

What are 3 things that every Glam-Aholic should have in her closet? A fierce pair of classic heels, A dress that compliments your figure and makes you feel like a powerhouse, and a tailored pair of skinny trousers. (leather, funky patterns, etc. Have fun with your basics!)

If you could trade closets with any celeb, who would it be? Hmm, that’s a good one! It would have to be a toss up between Kim Kardashian and Angela Simmons. I absolutely love Kim’s glamorous/luxurious style and I love the way Angela incorporates high end and low end items into her wardrobe. She has that laid back glam look which is what I tend to go for.

Glam-Aholic Retail Therapy: Forever 21+ Abstract Print Top

By on December 11, 2012   /   Fashion   /   Leave a comment

Since becoming prego, I rarely get to travel to the mall as much as I would like too. Now, I spend most of my time shopping online but sometimes you get the urge to physically touch the clothes and feel the fabric, you know. So, over the weekend I decided to pay a visit to Forever 21 to do a little retail therapy.  As I made my way through the store towards the plus size section I spotted a crystallized printed top that caught my attention.  The printed top reminded me so much of Givenchy, that I just knew I would probably see this similar style top on one of my fav celebs.  And boy was I right, the very next day Kim Kardashian hit the streets of Miami wearing a Givenchy Birds of Paradise tee, that was very similar to Forever 21’s crystallized top. Later I realized that Rihanna had worn the same Givenchy tee back in August, what are the odds of two of my fashion icon’s rocking the same style of tee I picked up!

This top is available online and in store, giving you more chances to catch one of the hottest trends of the season!

Forever 21+ Crystallized Print Top $17.80

Mia Ray Day: Looks From My 28th Birthday!

By on November 27, 2012   /   Fashion   /   7 Comments

November 23 was my 28th birthday! I truly enjoyed myself, it was a day to remember! But, let’s get straight to the point…what I wore and where I purchased everything from. I had to hurry up and write this post, I was afraid my followers on Instagram would beat me up if I didn’t tell them where I got everything from LOL So, without any further delay….

Let’s start with my hair. Malika (@EverythingBeau), installed 3 Body Wave 24″ bundles of Same Girl…Different Hair, layered it and curled it for the hair gods. The hair is sewn in and I will be showing the different transitions of my hairstyles over the next few months of the installment!

 My first look was not planned at ALL! I had in my mind that I would spend my birthday in my pajamas, but my family & friends had something else in mind. I had not purchased ONE thing to wear on my birthday, so the look you see above was created in the mayhem….in the mall….on Black Friday. Yes, my birthday was on Black Friday…it was kinda like a gift and a curse LOL

A week prior to my bithday, I picked up these black suede pumps at Neiman Marcus Last Call for 40% off, so I only paid $60 for them. I love them because they show a mean toe cleavage!  I stopped in Neiman Marcus first and picked up these black leather pants. Immediately I said “I want to wear ALL leather.” Kimye popped in my head and that’s where the inspiration began. I remembered seeing a black leather peplum top in Urban Outfitters, so I dashed there and almost passed out when I saw that they had a white one! I said the fashion gods are truly on my side today in the midst of this storm! Ha!

Urban Outfitters Vegan Leather Peplum $89

Neiman Marcus Sold Denim Faux Leather Pants $167

Neiman’s Last Call Dolce Vita Bella Platform Pump $99 (with 40% off)

The next night I just wanted to chill. And yes, I wanted to wear my leather pants again. I went for a tomboy chic look and found inspiration from the other 1/2 of Kimye…

I previously spoke about my leather shirt from H&M that I never got around to wearing yet, so channeling Kanye…I went for all leather everything again!

H&M Faux Leather Top $25

 Nike Air Jordan 4′s $116

So there you have it, nothing too extravagant for my 28th Mia Ray Day. I’m so excited for my looks to come in the new year! :)

Confessions Of A Plus Size Glam-Aholic: Kardashian Kurves

By on November 12, 2012   /   Fashion   /   Leave a comment

Nobody knows curves like The Kardashian sisters! I just knew a curvy collection had to be in the works after the launch of their debut line at Sears. So, you can imagine how ecstatic I was when I finally saw it hanging on the racks!  The curvalicious trio did not disappoint. From sexy party dresses to statement blouses in sizes 18-24, the RTW collection is filled with a dose of each sister’s personal style.

 As I took my time to scan through the racks, I couldn’t seem to take my eyes off of this particular fashion print blouse….so much that I carried it around with me through the entire store, as I walked through different departments LOL!  Since Sears is always having a sale, I picked up the blouse that was regular price $68 for only $24! Since becoming pregnant shopping hasn’t been my favorite hobby, aside with not being able to walk around as I use to, I haven’t had the best of luck with clothes.  I’m thrilled anytime plus size departments are able to offer something trendy that someone my age would wear…

I’m madly in love with my blouse it’s very comfortable (one of my main concerns), it reminds me of Kourtney’s style!  So if you’re a big fan of the Kardashian’s style like I am and you have the curves to prove it, this collection has something to offer for you!

Glam-Aholic Retail Therapy: Fur Stole

By on September 14, 2012   /   Fashion   /   1 Comment

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 Trend Alert: Going Backless

By on August 2, 2012   /   Fashion   /   2 Comments

Going backless is newest way to show off some skin! Don’t get us wrong we’re a sucker for a plunge neckline but for the moment we’re captivated by the bare back. Fashion “It” Girls couldn’t agree with us more, ripping up the red carpet and sidewalks rocking a bare back. Rihanna the queen of going backless exudes self-confidence and sex appeal every time she makes an appearance in an open back gown.  Just a peek at your back is enough to drive a man wild! If that’s not enough attention for you pairing a cascading necklace down your back will surely do the trick.

Sporting a backless piece allows you to look seductive and daring without revealing too much skin. Subtle yet mysterious, no wonder why backless pieces are flying off the racks! Busty girls no need to pout you can rock this trend too with the support of a bra! In the past donning a backless piece with a bra was such a big taboo. But, with the latest breakthrough backless bra by Maidenform you no longer have to stress about bra straps when it’s time to go bare.

 Don’t turn your back on us just yet… you need to find something to wear to that soirée? Why not get dressed in this super chic moment of the look piece!? Even if it’s just a causal event, you can slip on a backless top with dark denim jeans and booties!

Confess Your Glam, are you a fan of showing off your back??

Glam-Aholic Remix: Kim Kardashian’s London Looks

By on July 31, 2012   /   Fashion   /   8 Comments
When I was thinking about what I was going to wear for the 2012 Glam-Aholic Shopping Experience, I kept drawing a blank. I knew I had to bring it!  But, I kept over thinking my look…don’t you just hate it when that happens?!  This may sound crazy but every time that happens Kanye West’s “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” lyric “Cause when you try hard, that’s when you die hard” plays in my head. LOL! I instantly had to drop everything at the counter and leave.

That’s when I knew I needed a little inspiration. So, I popped open my pc and went straight to my image files. Since Kanye was already on my mind, I might as well search through my Kim Kardashian pics for some style inspiration. When I was looking through my pictures, I realized how much I loved Kim’s London looks! Especially when she wore the Stella McCartney sheer polka dot dress and that curve hugging leather skirt.  I knew this was it! So, I used my Glam-Aholic style senses to fuse these two looks together to produce my Shopping Experience outfit!

Since time wasn’t on my side, I had to think quickly and look through my closet for a few pieces to complete my getup. I had a wet look skirt from ASOS ($14) that I had been saving that would work perfectly as a leather skirt.

 I switched out Kim’s suede booties for my shoe of the moment Jeffrey Campbell’s Day 2 platforms, to add a little flare.

For my last attempt to find a top to pull it all together, I rushed to my go-to store H&M. Who would have thought I’d luck up and find a Stella McCartney inspired top at H&M for $29 in the plus size department?! It was a fashion miracle honey!

And, the sweet icing on the cake was my sleek middle part ponytail that made my fashion cycle complete!

Glam-Aholic Trend Alert: Exposed Zippers

By on July 16, 2012   /   Fashion   /   2 Comments

Zip it up, zip it down or unzip it open, there’s no wrong way to zip! The over exposed zipper detail is one of this season’s hottest commodities. We’ve taken notice of this embellishment popping up in some pretty unexpected places. Clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry and everything in between; the effective fasteners have been spotted running through. No longer something you conceal behind fabric, they are now a fashion center piece.

When Givenchy’s front zipper dress moved gracefully down the runaway it was all she wrote. The leather dress with front zipper detailing added a tough edge to an otherwise sophisticated ensemble and I’ve been lusting over this trend ever since!  Instead of it being of the norm, it was something very alluring about the exposed zipper. Designers choose to use the accents because they’re dimensional and make an otherwise simple design pop.  I would make the exposed zippers the focal point of my outfit. Or I could add a zip clutch or boot to my relaxed look and watch it transcend. But, I wouldn’t go overboard because I‘ll look like I’m wearing a strait jacket LOL!  If you’re not head over heels for zippers, you can incorporate the fad into your wardrobe with a subtle pair of pants like Cassie. The fasteners aren’t only for edgy motorcycle style; zips have a lot of curb appeal. Especially, a center back zipper dress which is polished enough for a business meeting and fun enough for drinks after.

Although, zippers aren’t much of a new trend, just being revamped (like all trends), for a more chic and feminine feel. We’ve just taken notice of how the trend has comeback with a vengeance and ready to transform any simple piece.  So, the next time you’re looking for a LBD to wear to a black tie affair, opt for one with a zipper and you won’t go unnoticed.
