I'm not really a fan of soft feminine colors but, I wanted to try something new with this #OOTD / #OOTN (outfit of the day/outfit of the night). My normal go to outfit is usually something free flowing and casual but, this time I wanted to put a little spin on it and try something different. This dress that I'm wearing is from http://mystiqueboutiquenyc.com/collections/midi. Since I'm tall I wanted to take advantage of the length in this dress. I absolutely love midis they work perfect for my height. Also lets not forget the price of this was only $27.99. You really can't beat that price. I see myself wearing this dress in so many ways which is why I made this purchase. Moving along my shoes are from http://www.charlotterusse.com/. This purchase was made a while back but, I'm sure you can find something similar +Forever 21. My clutch was a gift sorry I don't have the details on where it was purchase but it is tan with a corkscrew detailing. My shades are from +UrbanOutfitters and my jewelry is from +Michael Kors.

The Look for Less

I seriously don't remember the last time I reached for denim on my day off. If most of you don't know I have to wear all black to work which leaves me depressed for five days out of the week. I know some of you may be reading this like really your fretting over all black. But, listen I'm a lady that dresses according to her #mood and all black is not always my mood. So on my days off I ten to "do the most" with my outfit.
Its kinda like I'm screaming I'm FREE when I put something on that isn't black. Which brings me to this blog post.

SHOES; +Forever 21

Friday's Fashionista

This weekend I was lucky enough to be interviewed by www.o1free.com/blogs/news for their Friday's Fashionista! I met up with Fatou Keita which is one of their brand ambassadors. She had such an amazing personality and vibrant spirit. We met in downtown Jersey City and she quickly gave me a back story on her brand and they were about. We chatted about our favorite fashion trends of course, and she asked me about my inspirations and when I figured out this was the career for me. Between chatting about our pet peeves in fashion and or favorite style icons we also discussed goals and things we plan to accomplish. It felt great meeting up with people who recognize your efforts and support genuinely support you. But, let me stop rambling you can get more details of this interview on their blog site in the link above and, don't forget to show them some love in return when you visit their page!

I Sequins That Emotion....

One thing I love about thrifting is not finding the gems but, what you do with them. On my online store www.istylehunt.bigcartel.com I offer one of a kind pieces that are not sold in bulk. They are sold on a first come first serve basis. I want people to be original and authentic. In this blog post I styled one of my favorite finds. This piece is currently available on @istylehunt_ When I spotted this piece I'm not going to lie I was undecided at first but, then I tried it on and I knew it was leaving with me. I wore this chocolate sequins jacket over this +H&M basic dress. I love the burnt orange contrast with the jacket and of course my shoes are from +Forever 21

Keeping It Nuetral.

We can all admit that season hottest trend has been neutrals. Whether it's tan, grey, black, white, or in this case green. You can spot almost anyone in these colors. In this post I'm wearing an Olive Green Dress I purchased from a boutique in NYC. You can shop their online store www.mystiqueboutiquenyc.com Be careful when shopping this site, they literally have every trend in stock and it was so hard to choose. My shoes of course are from www.forever21.com. Such a great purchase, I love a comfy heel that I can wear all day long & these babies fit the job! Forever 21 offers these shoes in tan, black, and the taupe color which I am wearing. The black Top Coat I purchased a while back from Strawberry. They do not have an online store but, you can google their locations. Leave any feedback, Comments, or Questions below. Hope you enjoy this post. I had fun shooting it.

Top 10 Summer Essentials!

Its summer right? I know as fashionistas we all get shoppers impulse, and we want to buy everything in the entire store but, just hold on! Before you go on your next shopping trip I'm going to give you the top 10 summer essentials each girl should have in her wardrobe.

1. YUP! In my White Tee

Everyone should own a basic white tee. You can dress it up with statement necklace or dress it down with a jean jacket. The possibilities are seriously endless. I love a white tee because on those days when you don't feel like getting dressed, you can throw on a basic white T-shirt and a statement necklace and head out the door!

2. White Denim

I know ..I know not everyone can't be Lisa Raye but, in some white jeans you sure will feel like her. I am seriously obsessed with white jeans because it gives you a fresh look. Your sure to standout in a crowd. So throw on those white jeans and your best pair of strappy heels and head out to that day party

3.The Jumpsuit

If your the type of girl that loves a one piece, you should at least own three or more of these. Jumpsuits are the best thing ever. It doesn't require much thinking. You can go from 0 to 100 real quick! It also gives you the opportunity to focus on your shoes and accessories. www.frenchconnection.usa.com

4. The Statement Necklace

I have been racking up on these lately. www.hm.com has a great selection and if you visit their stores they have so many on sale.Who doesn't love a sale! I find that on simple nights I reach for a chunky necklace a white tee and some distressed denim. It's a great look when you pull it together with a bold red lip and some comfy heels.

5. Sneakers

I know you guys are probably reading this like. What!? Sneakers? I really do think these are a summer essential. They are actually on trend. I see so many people wearing them now with a body-con dress and denim or leather jacket. Since I purchased my ADIDAS Superstars I have not stopped wearing them. They go with all my casual looks. I've found so many ways to incorporate them into my wardrobe. I usually reach for these when I'm running errands and I want to keep it cute and give my feet a break from the long work week.

6. Highwaisted Jeans

If your not summer ready yet high waisted jeans can be your best friend. Those days when your feeling a little self-conscience about your mid section you can reach for these jeans and a loose fitting top and your good to go! I live for an effortless look. As a Jersey girl I tend to over accessorize, and I learned keeping it simple says a lot more. Get your custom pair from www.istylehunt.bigcartel.com

7. Bodycon Dress

Now this another obsession I have a great midi length dress and the correct undergarments will have you feeling like kim k. She is a great example of how you can wear these pieces. I purchased a couple in the basic colors. Grey, black & white. They definitely come in handy when you have last min plans with the girls.

8. Strappy Heels

Pick a color any color! I've always been a fan of a strappy heel. Lately they have been all the craze. I've purchased a royal blue pair. ( if you follow me on Instagram @_iambitiousness ) you can see how I styled them. I chose to go with a bold color because it's summer and I wanted to experiment with some color.

9. Sets

If you have not found out by now sets are in! If your afraid to take a risk with your style, go ahead and purchase a matching set. You will definitely look like the ultimate fashionista in this item. They are offered at so may stores. I purchased mine from a boutique in NY called www.socialapparel.com. They are always up to date on the latest trends.

10.Rompers

Last summer I really was not a big fan of rompers because I felt like everything would be hanging out. But, that has changed. I found the perfect romper at www.socialapparel.com. It fit great and plus it was on sale. So I said to myself why not give it a try. I wore it over memorial day when I visited Washington,DC (pictures are posted on my Instagram @_iambitiousness) This was honestly the most comfortable outfit I wore all weekend and I will be getting more!
