Treasure Tuesdays ~ My Signature Color is Cocktail Ready

I became a pink girl a few years ago and slowly but surely, it finds its way into a number of my outfit selections! When I have an event or do certain appearances, this color of my brand is one that you'll see me wearing more and more to a number of events! It's also fun after a long day of being out and about - to be able to go straight to a night out with friends and family! With that said, my signature color is always ready even when I just completed something for business.

MY SIGNATURE COLOR

I've been a huge fan of Versace for a number of years. Although they are known for their iconic prints, there are a number of other swoonworthy pieces that are of note including this laced dress in a vibrant hue! I love a classic sheath dress as it's a style that's always on trend and compliments so many shapes. For me, this style compliments and showcases my curves well.

ACCESSORIZE THE LOOK

This look needs a few pops of pink, yellow and gold as a great way to enhance this color without adding a number of dynamic hues. Roll over the images above to find out how Judith Leiber, Deborah Pagani, Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Robert Clergerie, Larkspur & Hawk.

IVANKA TRUMP Colorblock Trench Coat $230 - Lord & Taylor

Delman 'Falon' Flat $250 - Nordstrom

LAgence Black Repair Skinny Jeans $370 - StyleBop

Poppy Horse And Carriage Large Tote $458 - Coach

Tuesday, I'm off to LA for the week! I always love when I'm able to pack my bags and head out for a series of days where I get work done, meet people and do a number of other items! With the Oscars being this week, there are a number of fun activities that I will be able to attend as well! When it comes to traveling, it has to be all about comfort for sure. Since I am going in between temperatures, I love wearing a skinny jean such as the ones by LAgence. Pairing this with a simple grey tee from All Saints, allows me to fly and hit the ground running! Add a fun necklace such as this choker from Aurelie Bidermann adds such a much needed flair. I'm loving this color blocked trench in navy from Ivanka Trump!

More adornment can be found with additional items such as Azhar's black and white Contrarie ring which adds a special sparkle. Coach's Poppy collection brings in the classic horse and carriage aesthetic which has a nice rose hue to it. I'd cap this look off with Delman's patent leather ballet flat known as the Falon! I received this a few weeks ago thanks to the fab PR team at Delman! If you want to add a bit of color in, this is a great way to do it in a very simple way and allows you the utmost comfort when you're boarding your flight and then hitting the ground running!

Mingling Mondays ~ Paula Patton Stuns at Golden Globes

LE VIAN 14 Kt. Gold Diamond Band $6800 - Lord & Taylor

Aurelie Bidermann Lace Cuff, Gold $1370 - Neiman Marcus

Cord Choker Necklace $919 - LUISAVIAROMA

Paula Patton stunned as she hit the Red Carpet for the Golden Globes, which unofficially kicks off award season! As I watched the Red Carpet on E! I was pleased to see this sunny bold choice and although many celebs hit the carpet with limited accessories, Paula had a fab clutch by Judith Leiber, Kwiat Jewelry to compliment her Monique Lhuillier strapless dress.

Paula's look was super sweet but if you wanted to pop in some edge and bit more drama, I would have rocked the black and gold choker necklace with rope detail which is available at Luisa Via Roma and the fab cuff by Aurellie Bidermann which has fab lace detailing. Finally, I'd slip on this Le Vian ring which is fabulous in gold and diamonds and definitely allows everyone to take a second look wherever your runway happens to be.

With new year wishes still being uttered we're hitting the half way mark of this month. If your week is anything like mine, you're going to be super busy and you don't know where it's taking you. So in my case, I leave my house prepared for those requests to grad drinks, a quick bite and more. I love the idea of taking a clean and simple look such as this white oxford tunic from Cold Water Creek - the embroidery is a nice touch but I am loving the leggings which are a mix of jersey and leather by Rick Owens. Dannijo's tiered Swarovski choker. Slip on Alexis Bittar's Emerald encrusted gunmetal ring which is so fabulous. Of course you can bring in a bit of the rocker chic by having Linea Pelle's wrapped bracelet which creates great layers. Slip on these fab caged heels by Christian Louboutin and to continue the fab pop of green - why not rock Ghibli python satchel.

Wearable Wednesdays ~ Proud as a Peacock

For21 I love wearing simple pieces that wear well and have an interesting pop factor! This Peacock Racerback Tunic Top is super cute over jeans and leggings! I love that it is a cute white top that has the peacock feathers on it. This look is perfect when you think about warm summers and wanting to wear something amazing without have to do too much to it. Of course you can also put a cute chain or choker with this to complete the look. There are two other design elements that make this a great piece. The ruching on the neckline makes a bit of an elegance to this look so that it definitely looks casual but can also be slightly dresed up as well. In addition, I love the wide band at the bottom which allows you to play with the length of this as well. I love Forever 21 as I am guaranteed to always find something that looks amazing for a day but at the same time, I also know that I will always leave with much more than what I had intended to get. Ah what's better than visiting the store and purchasing and then being able to do so online as well?
