Fashion Takes us Back to the Future, 1,2 and 3

The 80's have come back in full spring and rumored to be the hit of the summer look. From blazers to men's wear shorts we expect this to come in full swing starting in July. We love fashion that tends to circulate through history and were ready to bring out our big scrunchy's, and side swept hair. Check out some of my favorite looks below and the movie-spiration of the week!

Rihanna known as the queen of Pop and fashion was caught wearing this plunging  periwinkle blazer and two slit skirt (ode to the 90's) from the Christian Dior Spring/Summer collection 2015 paired with white patterned high-heeled booties. Nothing makes me happier about the 80's movement was it was the time of where men's wear was developed as the new fad, with a sexy twist.
 No wonder our favorite 80's pop- star Madonna was loving on her the entire night.


Who does this look remind us of? Our favorite fashionista Cosby, Lisa Bonnet. Her fashion choices will be the Inspiration for my summer outfits. We tend to forget the 80's was a classy time not just wild hair, new drugs and tu-tu's. Her touch of jewelry with the classic pearls are going to have a major come back in jewelry this summer as well as the business like watch.


Our summer hair-pieces are also being stolen by lovely Lisa Bonet. We love her connection to earth tones while still allowing patterns and trends the 80's funk brought us to. the best headbands to find are from Urban Outfitters we love pop designs in a nice brown or green. But don't forget you're scrunchies.


Still wanna be edgy with your outfit today? Saint Laurent's Spring/ Summer 2015 collection shows it can be as simple as ripping your stockings and choosing more of an angst look. Our two favorite outfits from this beautiful collection has us singing Super Freak!




Last but not Least my movie-Spiration of the week and 80's nostalgia is....
 TEEN WITCH

This movie defined 80's Teen Angst. The 80's movie circa was the beginning of the monster inspired film's such as Teen Wolf. This 80's film showed us what clothing to wear and its okay to be a nerdy teen as long as you have a fashionable past of being a witch in a past life either way we love this movie and its fashion choices although cliche to the 80's

But till next time, remember to

I wanna Put on My My My My BOOGIE Shoes....Rompers, Dresses, Shirts.....

From the straw hats to the crochet tops it can be certain that this look for the summer will be early 70's summer chic. All I know is I hope flare jeans wont be coming back as well, the last thing I need a whole new shoe selection to fit flare jeans. Here's a few inspirations for summer wear lovelies.

Nothings is better than the cute jogger outfit for a summer day this throw back is throwing back at the haters who told men they cant wear short shorts, fast walk away gym cuties, it is a following fashion trend at American Apparel.

This fashion trend hit hard in the fall and is expected to bring back memories for next fall season, The longer the skirt the cooler the fashion statement and paired with a gray, jean or floral and you have yourself a summer outfit, mostly to find these items or alike would be at your local Urban Outfitters.

The romper has been an ongoing trend for a few years but this season the biggest part of it is its patterns, paisley is back with a vengeance and paired with cute Mary-Jane's your 70's look can be too. To find these numbers check out your local Top-Shop!

Fashion Week Proved 70's was back here are a few of my favorite ticket items from the big names in the business, all features are from their collections for 2015 spring/summer.

 Christian Dior paired cute black goulashes with a green mid-length dress giving us a mix feel of early 70's mod and late 70's coloring.

For Chanel they decided to pair the lovely turtleneck with 70's garb showing off a slight nautical feel using the navy blue coloring.

 And  last but not least we have Versace showing us a beautiful gymetric one-piece pants suit bringing back the late 70's off white coloring back into the scheme for next season.


Movie Inspiration
I love movies especially those that show off great fashion choices, for summer and spring my favorite movie iunspiration for the early 70's look has to come from "Virgin Suicides" by Sofia Coppola, the faded coloring to the short dresses set in the 60s-70s made this cult classic a movie to die for and fashion styles to copy.

Does this make us Cheetahs: Our favorite trendy cheat pattern we love to wear

The new fad of Fall is pairing any solid fall colors with a Cheetah embellishment. 

I'm talking about shoes, We love to mix our favorite fall colors like Burgundy, Forest Green, Velvet Purple, and of course Cobalt Blue with a cute item of the Cheetah pattern. 

So grab a pair of shoes in cheetah or a purse or ever sunglasses and instantly up your outfit without having to take it out of pocket. 

The biggest thing of Fall is utilizing trends and being able to pair  it with things you have so your not constantly spending money. Since its getting close to winter why not even invest in Cheetah printed gloves? Meowww 





The Cheetah Scheme is a way to Mitch-match patterns. Notice to the left she pairs the cheetah shoes with a plaid scarf. This cheetah look reminds us of out fashion idol of the day.....

In Clueless our well-spoken Diva "Dion" wore the cutest Cheetah styled Jacket out for lunch with 
"Cher" and their "New project". Will this show never stops being a inspiration for fashion? 
AS IF!

Slaying in less then 12 years

Lupita Nyong'o
 Lupita Nyong'o was born in Mexico, raised in Kenya and educated in the USA. She is a graduate of the Yale University School of Drama's Acting program.
Her Debut was in the recently Awarded movie "12 years a Slave" written by Steve Mcqueen starring big names such as Brad Pitt.











"I've loved the opportunity to learn about the fashion world and appreciate it as an art form, but I never want it to take over my acting." — Supporting actress winner Lupita Nyong'o backstage about being a fashion icon during awards season.



A Beauty On The Red Carpet

This vision was showcased at the SAG Awards in a Gucci dress.
At the Producers Guild Awards she was wearing a beautiful body hugging nude Stella McCartney

Fashion names take her by storm

She is even featured in the spring campaign of "Miu Miu" wearing their new vibrant collection.


For this campaign you have Lupita put through my favorite fashion Art design Craze: Art DEco by Prada's spring collection



Rumorssss

Rumor has it she and fellow talented actor Jared leto are rumored to be dating, gosh we hope this is true their babies would be beautiful.




"When I was a little girl, I was always acting… and the first 

time I thought I could be an actor was when I watched ‘The

 Color Purple’. I mean, I grew up in Kenya and a lot of our 

programming was from all over the world, and we didn’t see

 ourselves on screen. So it was really rare to see a world just

 populated with people that look like me. And there was

 Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah and everything, and they we

re doing this thing that just - just called me. And you know

, it’s so meaningful to be sitting here beside you. And it 

means a lot to me so thank you for planting that seed."

The New Fashion Twist that Has Oliver's Pants in a bunch

Everyone Knows of the great Oliver Twist and branched off movies from that era, but what we find now is Gentlemen's old work attire is Woman's new fashion Beau's


 Vogue uses their wonderful photographers to take us back in time to men's business attire, cigar smoke and children workers. In a way its sort of romantic the style, Don't get me wrong smoking is wrong but nothing makes you want to smoke a pipe then wearing a business mans suit tailored to enhances your features of being a woman.
Men's Attire excites me I love the new trend where we are stealing men's fashion choices of the early 1900's Count me in for a new tailored suit or suave tan jacket.

 Both these pieces scream Mad hatter attire and I spy with my little eye Faux-Snakeskin? Hmmm is that making a comeback.........

 Chim chimmery, Da dummery doo doo doo doo.....
Mary Poppins had the cutest clothes and her costar just needed a good washing to showcase his fabulous style.
His cute little striped suit made me excited to re-watch the movie for any other fashion tips.



Yes woman we clean up nicely so Lets make these old fashion pieces from the 1940's a "Thing again" Im all down for feathered hats and mid-low skits :)

The One Cocktail You Wont Get Tipsy Off Of.....

So Instead of the Winter Blahs make it the winter applause, no were not talking of the fabulous Lady Gaga, who just last night released her new album (slight appreciation post)





 Her new CD is following the trend I love, the whole "Art Deco" and "Renaissance" feel of fashion.
I noticed in her Applause video she recreates the great art pieces perhaps our new millennium is going to appreciate classical music...or at least art.

Back to Christmas Party's, Yea I know most likely its around the time you cuddle up with your special someone, a special romance movies probably starring Rachel Mcadams, or making out with you ex once you had one too many Eggnog's. Regardless Whether your going home for the holidays or staying here a cocktail dress for any holiday function is a must. Here is a few of my favorites that made it to www.Vogue.com


 For more of the Gothic City life feel, and hey not comfortable with showing skin the cape will always cover the butt you gained from mom's Thanksgiving.

If you feel like you were from the 50s in the past life or even feeling a little Twiggy this is more your style.



For these two art is the word, The big connection with all of these is long and sheen, just try not to abuse the Mistletoe.
