You Should Know: A Leap of Style

A Leap of Style is one of my favorite up-and-comers! Aside from the fact that the designer is a fellow Houstonian (hey Karissa!), I absolutely adore the versatility behind each breathtaking piece.

After I got the distinct honor to attend one of the brand’s fashion shows, I was left in complete awe! The chic and classy feel of each piece oozes utter sophistication. In addition, the variety is also a plus. From playful cocktail dresses to daring maxi skirts, A Leap of Style caters to women of every shape.

Weekend Instagram Hot! or Hmm…: Kim Kardashian West, Lala Anthony, Draya Michele & more!

Hey all!  Monday’s here again, but fret not!  We have enough celebrity style and selfies to get you through the day.  From movie premieres to quick trips with friends, let’s take a look at whose styles were double-tap worthy, and who didn’t make us stop scrolling through our Instagram feeds.

Rachel Roy and Kim Kardashian West

 Beauties and buddies Rachel Roy and Kim Kardashian-West took an ussie while on a quick trip to San Francisco.  Kim wore black and kept her makeup to a minimum with a nude, glossy lip and very slight smokey eye.  Rachel opted for a touch of color with a poppy red shade.  Both gorgeous girls who need to share their summer beauty tips.

LeToya Luckett

 And speaking of #beautygrams, LeToya Luckett posted a selfie while on vacation with her mom.  The singer/actress donned a fedora, an orange top, gold accessories, and hardly any makeup.  Gorge!

Lala Anthony

 Lala Anthony is three times the lady in this J. Mendel dress and Christian Dior pumps.  Mrs. Anthony brought a little glamor to the blue carpet at the Pixels premiere.  Hot!

Monica

 Monica was all smiles before rehearsals for the BET Players Awards in Vegas.  The singer looked cool and casual in an $80 DKNY Paisley Sleepwear shirt and a $300 pair of Linda Farrow x Phillip Lim sunglasses.  Cute!

Draya Michele

 Draya Michele flew to the A this weekend to party it up.  The swimwear designer/reality starlet gave BODY in a white halter Duckie Confetti dress and nude sandals.  I love the dress, but I think a shoe in patent black, white or silver would’ve been a better choice.  Nonetheless, hot.

Christina Milian

 And last, but not least, Christina Milian popped into her We Are Pop Culture store over the weekend in a cute baseball shortset from the store.  I loved that she paired this with sneakers.  Very California cool.  Heels would’ve ruined it.
