Wang, Prorsum, Kors...oh my!

Though these pictures are old, I can't stop ogling them and I must share. I'm sure you've seen it all before...

Alexander Wang can do no wrong in my book. He can go kick ass edgy and frilly and fem in the shake of a rose scented hankey. This here is straight up, down, across and all up in my alley! Mmm, all black everything, gotta love him!

When I think of Burberry I always think of those Virginia Slims cig ads because Burberry has come a loooong way. When I first became aware of Burberry, I wasn't very impressed. All plaid everything, stiff looking boring designs...those were my thoughts. Now I drool over their runway pictures. Sumptuous shearlings/furs/leathers, velvet, lace, feminine and edgy looks...Burberry has won me over.

How can one not love Michael Kors? His designs are fit for every woman (even if the price tags are not). Since I'm chameleonic (yes, I just made that awesome word up) in my tastes, I love that he is also chameleonic with his designs. I'm partial to edgy looks but I also like classical fem details. A sheath dress dress with cage platforms and pearls? I'd rock that, lol.



Just thought I'd share a couple of my current obsessions because sharing is caring :-)

Which designers/looks are you obsessing over right now? Share!

Election Day


 
Though I'm a few days late and several dollars short (and the Dems/Obama are SOL), I thought I'd share my laid back election day look. Most folks were at the polls looking harried, hurried and worried. Post election day, I'm thinking perhaps folks should have taken more time to research candidates before casting a vote. Ah well, c'est la vie. On to the out of it outfit...



I've always loved African prints and my BFF knows this so I was elated when he gave me this Kente print Dashiki for my bornday back in 2007. I've worn this Dashiki as a dress, as seen here...



(albeit a very short dress). I also wear it over jeans/leggings, tucked into jeans, under cardis, belted, etc. It's gorgeous and versatile and I LOVE it! 



My lighting was oh so bad but I made lemonade with those lemons.

Ring = F21
Dashiki = Gift
Old Leather Jacket = Wilson's
Scarf = TJ Maxx
Earrings = Gift
Glasses = Versace
Boots (unseen) = Chestnut Classic High UGGS


That's all folks.
XOXO
