Hey Hey!
Though Fashion Week is still going strong, my fashion week ended last night with a “You’ve Got to Be Seen, Green” party at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, hosted by Solange Knowles and her Saint Heron Family! As you can undoubtedly tell from the title, green garments were required for entry.
Take a look at how guests interpreted the theme:

These three ladies came to slay!!! Editors Rajni Jacques, Shiona Turini, and Nicole Chapoteau dazzled in Halston, Saint Laurent, and Dior. They looked fabulous.

DJ Kitty Cash was adorable in a leaf printed blazer dress and lace up sandals.

WXYZ jewelry designer Laura Wass uplifted a green dress with a bejeweled hat and bag of her design.

I loved artist February James’s $100 dollar bill crop top.

A Kenzo sweater and American Apparel disco pants were the call for this Fashion Student.

A lingerie inspired dress and flats made for the perfect party look.

This guest added a green clutch to a white jumpsuit.

Alan Ferguson supported his wife in a green button down and a denim blazer.

And inside, Solange laughed it up with friend Armina Mussa in Carolina Herrera.
It was a fun night!

As for me, I wore a Topshop olive green romper and Schutz Karlyanna Caged Knee High Sandals.

It has an open back, so I wore a Topshop vest over it with my Givenchy clutch.

This Fashion Week has been the busiest yet! I am pooped!
I’m off to get some rest and get back to blogging.

Fall 2015 Style Inspiration: What to Wear to the Janet Jackson Unbreakable World Tour

Happy Hump Day! For the Janet Jackson stans set to attend her much anticipated world tour, I’ve pulled a few looks together for today’s what to wear request.

Tiara writes, “Help! I am attending Janet Jackson’s Unbreakable World Tour this fall and am having a hard time finding something to wear. The concert is outdoors and I am torn between going casual or wearing heels. I want to be comfortable because it is outdoors and I am sure I will be dancing the entire time. Please help.”

Dress up a slouchy slit tank with a ruched shell skirt.

Add a stylish twist with a printed knit sneaker, a small camel hued clutch, and a chunky gold necklace.

Break out a khaki hued bomber offset by distressed denim shorts and a stretch-knit turtleneck.

And if you want to go for something a little dressier, slip into a pair of distressed white skinny jeans with a double breasted blazer and suede-effect lace-up bodysuit.

A chunky gold necklace, olive suede sandals, and a satin woven box clutch add a metallic touch.

Wishing you a fabulous time at the concert. Which look would you rock?

Hot! or Hmm…: Rita Ora’s Vera Wang Spring 2016 Show Vera Wang Black Merino Wool Cold Shoulder Pullover and Technofaille Pleated Skirt

Vera Wang’s Spring 2016 show basically all black!
Rita Ora fell right in line for the show in a black merino wool cold-shoulder pullover and a technofaille pleated voluminous skirt:

Rita tends to wear the looks straight from the runway, and she didn’t vary it up much here, though she did add her own flourish with mirrored sunglasses.

Nothing exciting here, but black on black is always chic!

Bomb Blogger: Nikki Brooks-Revis of Beaute’ J’adore

Happy Wednesday everyone!

It’s been a jam-packed week thus far but Friday is on the horizon! Between preparing for my December graduation and juggling the tasks of work, I’ve missed the blog. But, I’m back today with another Bomb Blogger! And, she’s absolutely flawless.

So, join me as we revel in the sleek musings of Nikki Brooks-Revis of Beaute’ J’adore!

Nikki came highly recommended via my fellow Fashion Bomb writer, Giselle (hey girl!). After tagging me in one of her ‘fits on Instagram, I was instantly impressed. As a mother of a gorgeous little girl and a sensational seamstress, this style maven knows what works for her and executes each look with effortless class.

If I had to define Nikki’s style, I’d simply call it “the classic romantic“. This fashionista gravitates towards soft flowy textures, unique silhouettes, monochromatic effects, the perfectly tailored trouser and (of course) eye-catching prints. Nikki’s sartorial presence shimmers in every shot and her undeniable cool just makes her even more awesome.

Karrueche Tran attended yesterday’s Harbison show in a white crop top, Prada sandals, and the same Harbison Spring 2015 appliqué pencil skirt previously spied on Beyonce:

While Kae mixed it up a bit, Bey stuck more to the runway styling, sporting the brand’s matching bustier and coat draped over her shoulders.

It’s a cute skirt and I think they both rocked it!

Harbison Ready-to-Wear Spring 2016 (Gallery)

From Harbison:
Amid a sea of norms, stereotypes and conventions, Joey surfs the countercurrent. Born where the sun meets the sea and steadfast like the waves from which she draws her strength, she has dismissed burdens of rigidity. This insouciance—a decidedly carefree nature, now her calling card—dictates the rhythm of her days, at times ebbing, always flowing. Her intensity is sun kissed, diffused but far from diminished. Liken her focus to that of a sharp beam of light, piercing meditation’s abstract space. The boldness of her display and the excess of her splendor strike a chord that declares an uncanny refusal to be minimized or cast aside. Her athleticism is in perfect alignment with her femininity, sensuality and intellect. Like daisies scattered to drift upon the water’s surface, her radiance grows as she is tossed in the light. Hers remains a constant pursuit to reveal hidden beauty within her surroundings. All the while in doing so, she inevitably reveals the complexity of herself: Joey is both engulfing tides of visual arrest and retreating blushes of intimate unveiling.

Then he awakes.
