Fashion for Charity

Hello beautiful people!  I had the immense pleasure of attending a charity fashion show 

on October 27th.  The charitable organization "Hey - Haiti Engaging Youth" was raising awareness for their cause with amazing music, fashion, and an overall positive and inspiring atmosphere. 

The goal of this amazing organization is:

"We are dedicated to improving the quality of life in Haiti by bridging the gap and facilitating the building of relationships between Haitian and American youth.

HEY! is creating programs so the youth can be more engaged, skilled and empowered throughout their lives. Through education, medical& health sustainability, cultural integration we can establish stability one community at a time.

We welcome you to help our mission and become a blessing to those in need of your love and support."

Please check out their website and check out any events that may come up in your area, you will not be disappointed!

My friend, Frank Mizzy was one of the featured musical talents to perform at this wonderful event.  I have been following his musical journey through the past few years and have been honored to watch him grow and develop as an artist.  Seeing him perform at such a moving event was a great experience.  Frank sends a positive message through his music, I found it fitting that he be part of such a benevolent project.  Please check out his music and let me know what you think! 

This is what I wore!! Yay!

This shoot took place a few days prior to the event.  At the actual event my hair was up in a bun and my wrist was adorned a bit differently.  The look was still the same, I just felt like a simple up-do was more appropriate for the occasion.   I hope you all enjoy this look and let me know what you think!

Red, White, and Polka Dots

Everyone knows I love my blazers and skinny jeans, so here's a twist to keep it interesting!

You can add a print to put this trend into overdrive!  In this look I paired a navy blue blazer with polka dots with a pair of red skinny jeans, then added some black details and fun accessories! 

This has become a classic look, so like all timeless outfits, adding a little something different can spice it up and add a little something extra. It's always great to add prints, on top or on bottom.  Personally I haven't found printed jeans, leggings, or pants of any kind that I feel look good on me, but I've seen many beautiful woman pull a similar look off with a solid blazer and printed bottoms.

Enjoy!

I really love a sophisticated yet trendy professional look.  I find them to be so fun to style and wear

Tunics and Belts

Warm colors are important to hold onto this time of year.  Soon we'll start to see an abundance of black, brown, and grey on the street everyday.  

While everyone knows my favorite color is black and about half of my wardrobe is black, I still have made space for color.  This outfit is a perfect example of how you can wear it and use black as an accent, rather as the main color scheme.

(Only spent $15.00 on this top!)

Leggings - Purchased from Marshall's

Earrings - Purchased from Bebe

Shield Ring - Purchased from the Nordstrom rack

I think this look is perfect for day or night, and the color of this top is amazing!  It makes me think of a clear blue sky on a nice sunny day.  And it's all so comfy!

A Colorful Fall

As we venture into the cooler weather that fall brings, we all start updating our closets and saying good bye to our summer wardrobe.  We bring in the neutrals and darker fall and winter colors and prints.

Well, make sure you don't oust all your color!

Adding a little splash of color can brighten your whole look!  

Brighter oranges, reds, and even greens still say fall without being too drab.

Fall Preview!

This is an outfit that I just love for the beginning of fall! 

The peep toe shoes hold on to the nice weather and the loose knit sweater is great for the change in season!  Let me know what you think and if you're going to try a similiar look.

This great look can out last the warm weather if you just add a pair of boots.

Blazer and Skinnies

This look is one of the most popular, I think, of 2012.  Blazers aren't just for the office anymore, they have been integrated into everyday fashion.  Denim has taken on new life with bright and pastel colors that allow so much room for interpretation with this look.  

Below all of the pictures are descriptions of each piece.  Let me know what you think and leave comments or pictures if you have any of similar looks!

I wore this outfit with a messy ponytail because it down plays the business appeal of the ensemble. It's also very easy for anyone constantly on the go!

Sunglasses are Dolce & Gabbana from Sunglass Hut

Blazer is from Forever21

This cami is from Forever21 and let me say one of my favorite tops!  It flows so nicely on it's own and looks beautiful paired with a jacket as I did here.

Skinny jeans are Rich & Skinny from the Nordstrom Rack

Shoes are Ciji from Shoedazzle.com

Layered silver necklace is from Express

Black wrap bracelet is from Forever21

Watch was a gift and is by Roberto Cavalli

Shield ring is Lucky Brand from the Nordstrom Rack
