90'S BACK

Bloggers have been blogging about it. Tweeters have been tweeting about it. Rappers have been rapping about it. And fashionistas have been wearing it. THE 90's! They are back and in full force! From a year filled with the most Hip Hop albums I can remember, to all of the FASHION on the streets. It is clear to me that the most influential decade has actually made a comeback. While we all know that history repeats itself, so do most fashion trends. I am happy to report that one of my favorite trends from the 90's is back - OVERALLS! They have a little more updated look this time around. They are a little more fitted, less baggy. They can be dressed up with heels, or dressed down with sneakers. Either way, they are back and here to stay! I recently fell in love with a pair and received many double takes as I wore them on "Not-so-casual-Friday". I guess Corp America wasn't ready!

When they reminisce over you, my God.

ALL OF ME

"You have got to be kidding me"...was the tweet I sent to my cousin after watching the painfully beautiful "All of Me" video from John Legend's newest album, "Love In The Future". I meeeean, can these two be any more adorable??? Trust me, I am not one to idolize and swoon over other people's relationships, especially celebrities. But there is just something so genuine and real about John Legend and Chrissy Teigen's love that captivates me. Obsessed? Maybe just a little. I can't help it. He's hot. She's hot. They are freakin HOT. If you don't believe me just watch the video below and then tell me something different. Go ahead, I dare you! Oh, and if you are a single woman, have a glass or bottle of wine ready before watching. If you are in a relationship, be sure to get your man piano lessons for Christmas.

BALMAIN

I woke up last Saturday morning to thee most beautiful images on my timeline from Paris. Houndstooth cardigans, quilted bomber jackets, ruffled leather skirts, and denim done so well, I thought I had died and gone to high fashion heaven. But I wasn't dead, I was alive and I was in LOVE with the Balmain Spring 2014 RTW Collection! The details on these masterpieces are nothing short of perfection. Each look was styled impeccably. As each model appeared on my screen, I remembered why I fell in love with fashion in the first place. EMOTION. The feeling you get when you see a certain dress or shoe. In this case it was every look coming down the runway that had me feeling a certain way. I felt inspired, I felt excited, I felt like I needed to sell everything in my closet to be able to afford one piece from this AMAZING collection! This is where cheerleader and baseball player from the 80s meet. Sporty chic done oh-so-right!

The House of Balmain was founded by Pierre Balmain in 1945. His creations were worn by acclaimed actresses such as Ava Gardner and Brigitte Bardot. Oscar de la Renta also led the house from 1993-2002. And in 2011, a young designer named Olivier Rousteing, was appointed to head designer of the luxury house. I am a true fan of this creative genius and look forward to seeing more of his designs in the future. #BALMAINIAC
