My Style: Fifty Shades of Grey

Today’s Look: demonstrates simplicity at its chicest.  While visiting Los Angeles over the 3-day weekend, I enjoyed the city scene and fashion.  For a casual outing and some sightseeing, I decided to keep it classy and sophisticated.  To start the look off, I first chose the multi-shades of grey top and black skinny jeans—a perfect combination.  The top is cut shorter than the typical length and the jeans are a sleek high-waist style.  Next, I chose a sparkly, dark metal necklace, two rings, and a bracelet.  I like how the jewelry pieces add to the ensemble without being distracting.  Finishing off the look, I chose my favorite oversized, black purse and sexy, new high-heeled pumps.

Fashion Tip:  When looking for the perfect pair of sexy pumps, it's important to really look at the design.  The first thing I look for is a sleek, thin cut.  Having a bulky or round cut is not city-chic enough for me.  The second thing I look for is a heel with a straight back.  I don’t like it when the actual heel curves in before going down to the ground.  I like it to line up with the back of the shoe.  I definitely recommend the Victoria’s Secret VS Collection Pointed-Toe Pump.  They have a similar cut to Jimmy Choo but are a fraction of the price.

My Style: Femme Fatale

Today's Look:  is all about being feminine yet fierce.  This outfit contrasts a dark black top, clean white skinny jeans, and bold gold flourishes.   To start the look off, I chose the long-sleeve, black top featuring the words "FEMME FATALE, LOVE POTION N◦9."  For those who don't know, the term femme fatale refers to an old literature/art archetype known for being a mysterious, desirable woman who seduces men into dangerous and sometimes deadly situations.  Obviously, I don't think of myself as a femme fatale, but it sure is fun to rock the edgy top.  To match the top, I chose tall, heeled boots that have a fierce black-with-gold-buckle design.  Since the top and boots make a sexy pair, I wanted light pants to contrast and add a special pop to the outfit.  I chose white skinny jeans.  To add a touch of the wild side, I wore a  gold necklace with a bedazzled, jaguar pendant.  Finishing off the look, I wore two gold and black bracelets, two rings, and black, stud earrings

Fashion Tip:  Tall heeled boots are a sexy fall essential.  They work great with skinny jeans, scarves, and peacoats.
