A cute, simple look for a weekend outing.

Hey Guys!

Danielle here with a little peek into my NYC life.

This weekend me and the homey Lipstick Fashion headed down to the Pieces 10th Anniversary Celebration at Kai Studio in Brooklyn. If you’ve been reading The Fashion Bomb for a while, you’ll know that Pieces is Claire’s favorite place to shop in the States. And if you’ve ever stepped foot into this delightfully fab boutique, you’ll know exactly why.

I remember going to Pieces and every time I went I felt like a superstar because the owner Latisha Daring (pictured above at left) was so attentive. Not that fake kind of attentive when the shop owner thinks you might be giving yourself a 5-finger discount or one who tells you to “Hurry up and buy!” but a super genuine attentiveness that felt like one of your best girlfriends was shopping right along with you. It’s no wonder why in a world where many businesses close within a year of opening that Pieces has been so successful. Having cool clothes can only get you so far—a winning spirit like Daring’s gets you longevity.

For you aspiring boutique owners, Latisha gives this advice: “Be passionate about what you do and find your niche. You always have to reinvent yourself to keep fresh especially when competitors move in nearby“. Truer words have never been spoken.

So once inside these gorgeous models (above) were posing and posing and posing while wearing items from Pieces’ new in-house label set to debut this fall. Can’t wait to see those.

And of course I had to check out the fashionable folks inside. I actually saw this young lady’s hot dress while waiting to get in but figured I’d at least wait until we were settled inside before I approached her…lol.

I absolutely love both the shape and color of her dress. You can’t see it very well in the pic, but her hair also looked like she just stepped out of a stylist’s chair. Miss honey was working everything! Too cute.

Then I happened upon this crew of friends each with their own individual style. Love it!

I couldn’t get enough of these ladies’ dresses and shoes. Niiice.

These two ladies were barely inside for 30 seconds before I tapped them on the shoulder for a pic…lol. Love their accessories.

And finally I loved this girl’s hair and cute one shoulder dress so much!

That rounds it up, folks!

What do you think of the style at Pieces 10th Anniversary Celebration?
