More Lady in WHITE

I've recently done bridal posts, even though I'm NOT getting married anytime soon. I wanted to continue in that especially because I saw the Marchesa Fall '11 bridal line in the Bella Naija Wedding section. Note: I enjoy this section because I like seeing how Nigerian culture is done in different people's weddings/marriage ceremonies. As well as the rest of the site featuring fashion, music and lifestyle Nigerian based!

But back to Marchesa, I think I can say that it's appealing to me more and more each time I see something Marchesa. I may not have the money for it, but I do have the eye. And I've particularly like Marchesa when I've seen Miley Cyrus wearing it. I think she also likes the label, being that she's worn a couple Marchesa dresses and gowns.

Also, Blake Lively, whom I also adore, has been spotted in Marchesa:

Anyways, continuing with the bridal theme, here's my picks from the Marchesa Bridal Fall '11 line.

FYI

Stacey Dash is OVER-RATED

I'm not hating, cuz I actually kinda like her. I mean I think she's beautiful.

But let's tell the truth. She's definitely NOT thee best actress. We hear that her attitude stinks, especially towards fellow actors. And I wish she would stop playin these 'young' characters!

She's looks great for her age, but she needs to play characters that are close to her age. C'mon, I am the only person who doesn't agree with her playin <30yr old female characters? Seriously.

And I don't know what regimen she's on, or whatever that keeps her looking so young and fresh, cuz I'll have to say that it may not be working all too well... Because her age is starting to show here and there in the face..

California Love

Last week, I went to Cali for a conference out at The Westin @ LAX.... It was actually great, and I was able to visit family in Riverside, and an uncle in East LA...

But I honestly have to say, that I have to go back!!!!!! [Originally I was sposed to stay for another week, but things didn't go as planned...] I wasn't able to do much, but just from walking outside around the Westin, I knew that L.A. is a place for me.

One thing's for sure: I was def loving the weather out there. It was sunny yet breezy. Not like our East Coast summers that are stiffling hot and humid! I was just loving that L.A. weather, even getting a bit chilly at times. Although I do have to say that I am NOT loving the Riverside heat. I almost melted when I got out the car when we got there... I'm not sure if it felt like I was back in DC or worse. And my aunt is thinking it'll be cheaper for me to live out there. She's gonna be disappointed cuz I can't fathom that type of heat. No way.

But yeah, just a little peek in my past week. Even with all the ups and downs [particularly me and my sister's 4hr delayed flight in Houston! And even missing our flight from LAX home, then having to pay $300 to be rebooked!], I enjoyed that bit of vacay I got :)

Here Comes the Bride

So I may have a bit of wedding fever. One of my friends got engaged recently, and she's planning for a May 2012 wedding! Who doesn't love weddings though?? We love them for different reasons, whether it be getting to play dress up or scouting and meeting a future husband/wife, or if you're African, you're going for the food, whether or not you know the bride or groom.

Anyways, here are some of my picks from different 2011/Spring 2012 bridal lines:

Vera Wang. If you've seen Bride Wars, you know Vera is the way to go.

Balmain Men's SS 2012

I've probably mentioned before that Balmain is one of my favorite, if not favorite, designers. I love the way that designers behind the name always give a rock n roll edge to the pieces. At least, that's for the women's line; I have never ventured to the men's line, until this week.

So! I found the Balmain SS '12 Men's lookbook on Selectism, a sister/brother site to HighSnobiety, and I was just loving the laid-backism of the collection.I took a particular liking to the jackets, which are structured and tailored quite nicely. They're dressed down in the lookbook, but I can def see them pair with a dressier outfit.

Mmmmm yes. Let me see a man wearing one of these pieces! Oh gawd!

These were some of my favorite looks:

Accessorize

I am loving this Lee Angel 'Dipped in Pink' necklace!

I just LOVE the vibrant pink!

DIY style: I'm gonna see if I can find a similar necklace, and spray paint the bottom half. P.S. I made this style.

Wanna try it? Rent it on Rent the Runway!

Law & Order

You can't say that you haven't watched any one episodes in the Law & Order family and did not enjoy it.

I myself am a Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (SVU) fan, was an avid Law & Order watcher, and recently, caught Law & Order: L.A. (LOLA) from time to time; although I have to say, that Law & Order: Criminal Intent, which moved to USA, just didn't catch onto me.

Mmm-muawh

Lip color of the day is Covergirl LipPerfection in Tempt 355.

Accessorize

As you know, tumblr has become an obsession. [BUT I can refrain! I hadn't "trolled" for like two days, till today!] But, I'm back! with a post :)

Chloe Billie tote. Damage: 1945$ on sale at Net-a-porter.

Now, I like this bag because it is versatile. I'm thinking this will go great with a casual 'fit, eg. loose tee, and cargo skinnies most likely i nmy fave color of olive. And I'm imagining it as a work bag as well, for those of us that like to take our style to work! Eg. nice khaki pantsuit, while toting your purse must-haves. It looks like it may even fit a 13" Macbook?

so it seems like  my tumblr is getting more love than my baby blog :(

well visit me there:
