Hey ya’ll!

In today’s feature, we’re highlighting the stylistic musings of the lovely Freda Payne. Now, I have an entire list of Vintage Visions I (eventually) hope to spotlight but this iconic fashionista stole my heart when I ran across one of her candids via Pinterest.

Freda Charcilia Payne was born on September 19, 1942 in Detroit, Michigan. As a youngster, the songstress grew up listening to a multitude of artists including Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald; however- it was in 1963 when she began her own musical journey. She later moved to New York City where she collaborated with some of soul’s biggest names before releasing her own album in 1964 entitled ‘After The Lights Go Down And So Much More!!!’. In 1970, the singer released her hit single “Band of Gold” and its success was unparalleled. The song was written by Motown producers Holland-Dozier-Holland and sold over a million copies! Throughout the rest of her dynamic career Payne performed on Broadway, released countless albums and even hosted her own talk show.

Freda Payne’s style is nothing short of diverse. As I further researched her accomplishments, her ever-changing style was also magnified. I mean, she could rock a pair of crochet shorts and then turn around and don a vintage, silk gown! But, the factor that manages to hold each and every look together is her indisputable confidence. Her go-to pieces included fur stoles, jumpsuits and even sky-high platforms.

Want to know more about Freda Payne? Well, check out more of her amazing story here and here. She’s such a beauty!

 

**BONUS: Catch Freda Payne performing her hit single “Band of Gold” on Soul Train in the video below!**

 

 

In the meantime, I’m open to suggestions for future Vintage Visions. C’mon, let me know who you’d like to see featured! I’ll be looking out.

 

 

Signing Out — Esmesha

 

 

Amal Clooney is quite the fashionista, no?
She grabbed dinner at the Electric Room in Nottinghill with designer Stella McCartney, in a $2,280 lace jumpsuit of McCartney’s design.

Nude pumps, tassel earrings, and a yellow clutch were here accessories for the outing.

The lace macramé jumpsuit has a one shoulder cut. See it below in green.

Amal certainly has the height and frame for this piece, but the accessories don’t do it justice. A simple black sandal (like the Nudist) and a coordinating clutch would’ve looked more refined, no?

At any rate, if you can splurge, get her jumpsuit at MyTheresa.com.

What do you think?

Kim Kardashian West opted for stripes at the Cannes Lion Festival in a jacket and pants set from Balmain’s Fall 2015 collection:

She draped the jacket over her shoulders.

The pieces were modeled on the runway with a yellow belt, white low cut top, and purple clutch.

I like the outfit, but it doesn’t quite fit. The jacket seems small; the pants too long.
What do you think?

Hot! or Hmm…: Kim Kardashian West’s Cannes Lion Film Festival Balmain Fall 2015 Black and Gold Striped Jacket and Pants

Hot! I love it!

Hmm..not her best look

Karrueche Tran Instagrammed her #ootd for last night’s Hennessy x Rap Up event, and flashed her legs in a $199 Just Enaj Olive Evening Gown:

The saucy pieces features a low back, and a high slit with a wrap front that adjusts to fit on the waist line.

The dress is made long so that it can be tailored to fit. Karrueche must not have had time to get to a tailor…but aside from that, she looks great!
Purchase at JustEnaj.com.
Hot! or Hmm…?

Nothing screams summer quite like a gorgeous wide brimmed fedora!
Patricia Field has several options in store, but I have an affinity for her $24 Paper Braid Option:

The wide brimmed option would be the perfect accent for a beachy excursion.

Take inspiration from Lupita Nyong’o, who wore a similar hat with a white bikini for a day in the sun and sand.

Thankfully Patricia Field’s option is more on the affordable side!

Get yours + peruse other hat options at PatriciaField.com.
Would you rock it?

Karrueche Tran stuck to her high/low aesthetic for a night out at Hooray Henry’s in a $105 Topshop Military Green Jumpsuit and $675 Giuseppe Zanotti Mules:

Her jumpsuit has a relaxed fit, a drawstring waist, a button front, and multiple pockets for a practical touch.

Her silver tone leather double strap mules from Giuseppe Zanotti Design feature an open toe, a metallic sheen, a snakeskin effect, a brand embossed insole, and a high stiletto heel.

Cute! I actually had my eye on the jumpsuit, but jumped on Ciara’s dress instead…!
At any rate, if this is up your alley, get her all in one at Topshop and her shoes at FarFetch.com.

Are you feeling this look?

Rapstress Nicki Minaj was spied with beau Meek Mill at HOT 107.9’s Annual Birthday Bash in Atlanta, while sporting a pair of $1,095 Christian Louboutin ‘Boltina’ Lace Up Leather And Mesh Sneaker Booties:

Her 4.8″ lacquered stiletto heel leather sneaker booties feature an almond toe and lace-up vamp.

Mesh panels and lining lend a sporty flair to the statement stompers.

Although this isn’t my cup of tea, Nicki stayed true to her style aesthetic with the addition of something a bit unexpected. Do you!

If you’re up for the splurge, get yours here.

So, are you feeling the athletic chic vibes?

*Gwen Stefani was also spied in the sporty stunners. Who wore ’em better?
