Dear Fashion Diary: I Am Tickled Purple

When it comes to dresses, I tend to stick to neutral colors like brown, black, olive green, and gray but there is a change on the horizon.

I was pursuing the racks at Target one day when this hint of purple caught my sight. On the clearance rack, hidden between a pair of black leggings, and green sweater, I spotted this purple dress that just so happened to in my size. I was instantly attracted to the richness of the hue coupled with the silkiness of the material and I knew I just had to have it.

Because color blocking is so hot right now, I decided to pair the dress with colorful accessories and neutral shoes.

DuO Houston Host Its Spring 2012 Fashion Show

Leave a Comment

The uber trendy boutique, DuO, located in the Montrose area of Houston, TX, hosted its spring 2012 fashion show this past weekend. This event was everything I needed for a potentially uneventful saturday night. I was blessed with the opportunity to shop, sip on complimentary drinks, nibble on tasty bites provided by My Fit Foods, and view some of the latest trends for the upcoming season. And to think that I almost passed it up for a night of watching old episodes of The Hills on Netflix.

I chose to keep my outfit sleek and simple for the extravagance I was going to experience. I paired a light gray linen t-shirt from Zara with a pair of form fitting black cigarette pants from Express, a pair of lace open toed booties from Aldo, and a studded black purse from Agaci.

Fellow Houston bloggers were there in style.

Here I am with a few of my favorite models. These ladies were both gorgeous and gracious.

Can you tell that I am totally swooning in this picture. My favorite model of the night, Randall, gave the runway so much life.

More fabulousness…

I thought these two ladies were so cute and stylish, I just could not resist snapping a picture.

Here are just a sampling of what the runway had to offer. I was definitely inspired by the bold colors and busy patterns.

I ♥ Her Style: Gabrielle Union for World’s Most Beautiful Magazine

1 Comment

Gabrielle Union is one of my favorite actresses and Hollywood personalities. She appears very down to earth and her acting ability is flexible and seamless.

She glows in these behind the scenes photos from her shoot for World’s Most Beautiful Magazine. She has such a classic beauty that it comes as no surprise that she was chosen this year.
