Red Carpet Recap: Best and Worst Dressed at the American Music Awards

Happy Monday everyone. 

I hope all of you had a nice, peaceful weekend. 

I spent time with my little love bug, preparing for his upcoming birthday and doing some things for my boutique. I was also able to catch a glimpse of the Red Carpet coverage for the American Music Awards which aired on E! TV. 

I love awards show season-the red carpet fashion in particular. For this post, I decided to do something a little out of the ordinary for the blog-a Best and Worst Dressed Recap. 

I must say that I wasn't extremely thrilled by any of the fashion this season but here's my list anyhow. 

Among the Best Dressed...

My top 3 were....

Giuliana Rancic-this asymmetric Alex Perry number was EVERYTHING!!

Jhene Aiko-pretty, pretty

Jessie J-because this is one flawless white pantsuit!

And on to the Worst Dressed of the evening...

Heidi Klum-this is such a disappointment seeing as how she is the top judge on Project Runway. I'm sorry Heidi, but "you are out"!

Uzo Aduba-her stylist should be fired immediately. Everything about this is a NO!

Frankie Grande-he is NOT serious, is he!?

Who made your best/worst dressed list last night?

I can't wait to hear from you. 

Thanks for reading.

XOXOXOXO

How To Wear: Black & White

Hello and happy Tuesday my loves!

I hope everyone is off to a great start this afternoon.

I soooo miss being able to blog on a regular basis-my newborn has inevitably taken over my life and I'm totally fine with that because I'm so in love with him.

Whenever I get a free moment these days, I'm undoubtedly blogging or thinking of blogging. I actually think I would rather blog than hang out sometimes. Does anyone else feel that way?

Just me, huh!? OK...greeeaatttt!!!

Anyhow, I wanted to drop in today to share with you some styling ideas that I came up with for the black & white trend.How To Wear: Black & White by sherockwell featuring a black sweatshirt

How To Wear: Silver Pumps

Happy Tuesday my loves!

I know I'm late as heck but better late than never, right!?

Just wanted to drop in with a little trendspiration. This year I'm focusing more on motherhood, my goals as an entrepreneur, and lastly meeting and styling more clients. Once I put this bit of information out into the world of social media, a couple of my friends and followers began to ask me for styling advice.

My first diva said that she needed help styling a pair of silver pumps so here are the 3 looks that I came up with...

How To Wear: Silver Pumps by sherockwell featuring leopard handbags

Scotch Soda cardigan / Pull Bear sweat shirt, $33 / MICHAEL Michael Kors leopard blouse, $150 / Alexon bolero jacket, $145 / Mango moto jacket / Mink Pink vest, $165 / American Eagle Outfitters tapered jeans / Vivienne Westwood slim pants, $620 / DEPT red skirt, $105 / BCBGMAXAZRIA platform pumps / Sperry Top Sider lace purse / Miss Selfridge leopard handbag / Topshop hat / Eyeglass / Nars cosmetic

One look for each personality type-something casual, fun, and flirty-all of which were styled with a hint of edginess in mind. This post actually reminds me that I now own 2 PAIR of silver pumps that I need to style for myself. Funny how being a blogger and helping others allows you to unleash inspiration for yourself as well. Oh, the perks of being creative.

What do you think of these looks?

I can't wait to hear from you.

How To Wear: Coral

Hello and Happy Tuesday my loves....

It's been a while, huh!?

Between baby stuff, work stuff, and school stuff I haven't had much time to focus on my blogger stuff but I made it my business to devote some time to writing today. Tuesday is actually one of my favorite days of the blog week because I get to discuss my favorite trends.  In this week's edition of my 'How to Wear Trends' series I wanted to focus on a color which seems to be the go to hue for all things chic and fabulous.

Coral is one of those beautiful shades of pink that I just can't get enough of. It's actually one of those tints that doubles as a neutral for me because it goes so well with everything.

Dress it up, dress it down-I'm sure this trend will be here to stay for much of the fall season.

How To Wear: Coral by sherockwell featuring a pocket watch

 

H&M cut out sleeve top, $32 / Floral peplum top, $27 / Navy blazer / Paul & Joe Sister clothing, $135 / Light blue ripped skinny jeans, $36 / Cameo Rose aztec tribal skirt, $16 / JustFabulous tan platform sandals / River Island coral heels shoes, $71 / Flat / BCBGMAXAZRIA clutch / 10 Bells handbag, $19 / H M shoulder bag, $24 / Blu Bijoux necklace / Fornash bracelet / Pocket watch

Are you a fan of this shade? If so, how do you plan to incorporate it into your fall wardrobe?   I can't wait to hear from you!   Until then, thanks for reading... XOXOXOXOXO

 

How To Wear: Boyfriend Jeans

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday my loves...

I hope you all are off to a great start to a productive day.

Today I want to present to you Part III of my 'How To Wear Jeans' series. If you missed Parts I and II you may view them here and here.

Boyfriend jeans very quickly became one of my favorite styles of denim when they hit the scene. They're comfy and relaxed-not too tight and just baggy enough-still giving off a great amount of sex appeal. 

I love to wear mine with patterned heels, however, they also look pretty jazzy with nice oxfords if you want to go full throttle into the androgynous look, especially when you cuff the hems and roll them way above the anklebone.

I would strongly suggest staying away from ballet flats, sneakers, and/or kitten heels as they tend to make one appear boxy in shape, and above all, it just looks boring.

Now it's your turn to sound off.

How do you like to style your boyfriend denim?

I can't wait to hear from you.

Until then, thanks for reading.

How To Wear: Straight Leg Jeans

OMG....gals and pals!!!!

How the hell are you all? I hope each of you are doing well, being productive, and enjoying the beginning of your summer but mostly I hope that you haven't counted me out of the blogging world!!

I've missed blogging so much, however, I desperately needed a break-mentally, emotionally, physically, etc. I've had one helluva year at work, the honey has been plucking every nerve that I have left in my body, and my shop has been booming. There's just been so much going on in my personal life, that I've totally neglected my blogging life and for that I'm truly apologetic. One thing that has remained the same though is that I've still been taking photos, styling outfits, and reading up on fashion related news. 

One thing you may not know about me as a blogger, is that I love, love, looovvveee how to series. I don't post them much here on my own blog but I think they are intriguing, interesting, and fun. Because I covet them so much, I figured that it would only be right to return with some how to-style tips.  

I've heard so many women struggle with finding that perfect pair of jeans. Speaking for myself, it takes me forever to find the perfect pair-with only a few brands being able to bring out the best of my athletic build. Then when you find those jeans, what exactly should you do with them?

Which brings me to this....

How To Wear Jeans: Straight Leg by sherockwell featuring distressed straight leg jeans

I began my series with this particular style of jean because I seem to have the most trouble styling these. They don't look particularly well when not cuffed and they only seem to be flattering with a certain type of shoe. I honestly don't like this style, however, I will purchase them for the right price!

I've found that the key to successfully wearing straight leg jeans is to make sure that they are cropped and/or cuffed above-strong emphasis on above the anklebone with colorful pumps or casual flats. Don't, I repeat, don't pair them with boots or sandals that cover the ankle. The key here is to show the ankle so as to create some sort of shape as this style of jeans is essentially formless.

I would love to hear about your experience(s) with straight leg denim. Please share any tips that you've found useful or helpful.

I can't wait to hear from you.
Thanks so much for sticking in here with me; you're much appreciated!

Stay tuned for Part 2 of the 'How to Wear Jeans' Series coming next week!

Friday Favorites: Vol #28

Happy Friday my loves!

I hope everyone is geared up and ready for the weekend-I sure am! Sad to say that I'm still trying to overcome my huge hard drive crash so I haven't been as active on my social media sites as I normally am. My computer tech promised that he would be dissecting my computer this weekend so hopefully I will be in better spirits next week.

Regardless of that issue I still wanted to share some of my favorite things with you so here goes....

Chocolate-it is a girls' best friend. Especially when it comes from the person you love.

 

Currently swooning over these two Target dresses. The soft mint and coral colors had me at hello. Where are you spring!?!

 

Rocking my thrifted knee high boots. I love these babies. I died when I saw they were only $5. I have them in gray as well.

 

Before and after totals from a recent shopping trip to Plato's Closet. I believe I saved $271 or something crazy like that.

 

Details from my Goddaughters very 1st birthday. We went with a Minnie Mouse theme. All of the cupcakes and even the birthday cake were handmade by her Mommy, one of my besties.

 

 

For the first time in a long while, I went out with my girlfriends. This girlfriend pictured below trusted me to style her for the evening. She told me that her budget was $60 so this is what I came up with...I'm so glad that she was pleased.

 

 

 

Me and my lovelies on our night out...

 

This week's Mag Swag...

 

Moo business cards that I have finally started to use. Every now and again they will offer codes for FREE cards-which is how I got these. If you follow my FB page (link located in the right sidebar) you will see lots of codes and coupons for free and discounted goodies.

 

What were some of your favorite things from this week?

 

I can't wait to hear from you.

 

Thanks for reading!

XOXOXOXOXO
