Black and White is always right–at least if you’re Janelle Monae!
The electric lady was honored at a Legacy Awards ceremony in Atlanta in a Fall 2015 black and white swirl printed dress from Olympia Le Tan’s Fall 2015 collection:
Tamara Mellon thigh hights and a burgundy hued felt fedora added subtle touches.
Her dress was modeled over a tulle skirt and opaque stockings.
Hat off to Janell’s stylist, Maeve Reilly, who manages to make black and white interested every time.
Hot!
Most of us are preparing our stomachs and spirits for Thanksgiving, but not before we all tune into the latest episode of Empire! The hit TV show is known for its special guest appearances, which just so happens to include Alicia Keys on tonight’s episode.
The songstress can’t be missed with purple hair and matching attire: a Jitrois Fall 2015 suede coat and Roberto Cavalli sweater.
We couldn’t pinpoint her cozy topper, but her coat was shown with a red leather shirt and black leather jumpsuit in the brand’s Fall 2015 collection. Hot! Literally.
Her sunnies feature geometric gradient lenses for a retro-inspired and refined look.
Her black, sky-blue, and green daisy print silk crepe de chine dress boasts long sleeves and gathered cuffs. Chrissy wore the frock’s ties to the front instead of letting them cascade down the back.
Her western-inspired ankle boots feature tapered toes, stacked and functional 3.75″ heels, and pull tabs at the topline.
Loving her maternity style!
If you’re up for the splurge, get Chrissy’s shades here, dress here, and boots here.
Well, it’s that time of year again! Yep, Thanksgiving Eve is upon us and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s an amazing feeling to actually sit down and enjoy time with your family/friends – I mean, there’s no greater love. With that, I pray that each of you have a memorable and blessed holiday.
But, aside from the yearly festivities, let’s get into our featured Bomb Blogger – Erica Lavelenet of The Fashion Philosophy!
I discovered Erica via Refinery29. (Ahem! I’m a huge fan of sifting through online publications and finding some of the blogosphere’s best.) This native New Yorker certainly has a flair for personal style as she effortlessly pulls off some of the season’s hottest trends. In her mission statement regarding the mission/purpose of her blog, she humbly states “It’s less about the outfits, more about the experience. (It has) Little to do with the clothes, more about how they make you feel.“
This fashionista’s style embodies a wide variety of awesomeness! She can uplift a mean pair of flared jeans and turn around and don a sultry Nasty Gal lace-up bodysuit – the range is insane. I was also intrigued by Erica’s knack for rocking quirky accentuations. It’s just refreshing to run across a style maven who deviates from the “uniform” that some bloggers tend to duplicate consistently. All in all, the girl just gets it!
Slay on, hun!

So I’m headed home for Turkey Day today, and have packed loads of sweatshirts, stretchy pants, and sneakers! I’m going for comfortably chic this holiday, packing simple separates, with doses of glam like wedge boots, fur collared jackets, and jewels.
We’re sure you don’t need inspiration for how to dress while lounging in the house after a food coma! But if you venture out to any fashionable events during turkey time or even meet your boo’s family, these looks, curated by @StyleisMyObsession, should serve you well.
