NOVEMBER

Hola CHICsters,

I'm finally back to blogging after a longgggg hiatus. I have so many great Fall/Winter clothing to share with you as well as styling & beauty tips. The air was so crisp today here in Atlanta, and as I've shared with you all before Autumn is my fave season. If it's too hot...and I'm not at a beach or somewhere tropical, I'm not about that "sweating for no reason" life :-)

This is what I wore today & it encompasses a few of my faves Fall/Winter must haves; leather pants, black turtlenecks, over the knee boots, & camel colored coats ( this one was a steal from H&M for only $29.99) *gasp*

These boots are 4yrs old by Dollhouse, but I'll put the links to similar options below.

Coat: H&M (in store only) Boots: Dollhouse (old) Similar here, Leather Pants: Here (also comes in Gunmetal Silver & Brown): H&M, Turtleneck: Thrifted from the G-Dub (GoodWill)

MINNIE DREAMIN'

Have I ever told you all about my infatuation with Minnie Mouse? I love her!! LOL. Ever since I was a kid, she is the one character, other than Kermit the Frog, that I've adored through the ages. Back in my dorm room days, I had Minnie stuff all over my room, which was probably quite annoying to my chain-smoking Goth roommate *side eye*. I had the bedspread, a lamp, sock etc.. Desperately trying to hold on to my childhood you think? LOL.
Well let"s fast forward to me finding this sweatshirt buried deep in my drawer purchased from Forever21 last fall. Love at first sight of course DUH!! There was a lil chill in the air in the morning, and I din't feel like wearing a blazer or anything to stuffy for a casual meeting with a client so there's that. Not only did this sweatshirt keep me in a great mood all day, but it was the best conversation starter. Who knew so many adults still loved this super girly mouse?

MAY FLOWERS

There's just something about the spring that makes me feel so girly and carefree. Atlanta doesn't get what I would call a "real winter" compared to all the freezing winters I've faced in NYC ( I get chills just thinking about it) brrrr. But nonetheless, the colors of the fall/winter seasons are much more subdued with alot of browns, grays, and earth tones Don't get me wrong, I LOVE a full on earth-tone look, but after a few months of walking by window mannequins dressed as such it tends to get boring *insert long yawn here* LOL. The spring is the perfect time to break out your brights, pastels, prints, and florals . like this wrap maxi dress I'm wearing which I found at a thrift store for 1/2 price. The tag said $1.80 (ok catch your breath)!! Yep, a whopping 90 cents was the cost of this vintage 1970's wrap masterpiece. And just to think, I almost left the store that day with nothing after searching through the racks, but on my way out the door I noticed a floral sleeve. At first I thought it was just a blouse until I pulled out the hanger from among a bunch of tightly packed randoms...

and found a little piece of heaven :-)

A wrap dress is one of the most flattering silhouettes on a woman no matter your size or height..it just works!

A picture cannot do this dress any justice! I was drawn to the colors of red, turquoise, orange, and neon pink flowers with tan and bright green stems.

I don't normally wear any makeup as in foundation, concealer etc.. but I do love lip glosses and lipsticks such as the new MAC collaboration with songstress Rihanna called RiRi Woo (sold out in 3hrs) that I'm wearing here. Love the matte red color.

This dress didn't need much accessories, but I did add my "go-to" earring, thin gold hoops for a lil' extra umph! ( LOVE gold hoops, it's the Brooklyn in me lol)

Green is one of my fave colors...(after lavender of course), and I love the way that the green of these strappy heels brings out the greens in the dress as well as the flowers.

Just to think these lovely shoes have been sitting in my closet unworn for TWO years smh..

Hope you all have a CHICtastic start to your week xoxo

TGIF!

As soon as I saw this tee from Kate Spade I HAD TO HAVE IT! First off, I love a good quality tee, and all of the ones that I have of this brand has held up well with my "throw it all in the washer" routine (don't judge me). Plus, as you may have already started to notice, I have a soft spot for tops that "make a statement". I just think they're kinda cool LOL. My son asked me what the "!" on the tee meant, and I told him that it depends on what you're feeling. Today it's my "TGIF!" tee, another day it may be my "This ATL traffic sucks" tee ... it all just depends :-)

Have CHICtastic weekend and don't forget to show all of those special Mothers some LOVE

Hola Peeps,

After much trial and error on my part (don't judge), I'm NO computer geek... I finally got this blog up and running YAYY!!! I was so excited that it FINALLY stopped raining out here in Atlanta. After three days straight of rain, both myself and my hair are ecstatic it stopped. At least for now LOL...Wore this creamy look out to lunch in the city with friends. No better advertising than self promotion right? :-)
