Sequins & Fall Florals.

by Jamila Pierre


While engaging in one of my favorite pastimes of all time, perusing online stores and window shopping until my eyes melt out of their sockets, I spied with my little eyes this amazing dress on Wetseal.com, along with its older and much more sophisticated sister (to which I will be doing an outfit post with soon enough). I had this amazing floral cornucopia in my shopping cart for a while, debating with myself as to why on earth I needed yet another dress in my arsenal, and then there it was....a buy one get one sale....

**PLACE ORDER NOW**

The material is great, the cut is excellent, the print is divine, and what better way to pair this dress than to pair it with another Wetseal find; this most amazing sequin-sleeved anorak jacket? Perfection! I threw on some leggings, my "current obsession" boots, and a statement belt. I also threw in my most recent {Steals & Deals}, this studded deep red faux leather backpack. 

What I'm Wearing: 

  1. Dress from Wetseal.com. $36.90
  2. Jacket from Wetseal.com. $15 (Black Friday Sale)
  3. Belt from Rainbow. $7
  4. Bag from Shoppers World. $12
  5. Boots from Charlotterusse.com. $15 (from $45)

Dear Leopard...

by Jamila Pierre


Leopard is seriously my kryptonite...SERIOUSLY! This is not a case of being dramatic or overly excited for no reason about this print, this is a serious matter. I see leopard and I am drawn to it like a moth to a flame.

Don't be fooled though, not all leopard is crated equal, there are certain versions of it that need to be burned, but if we generalize the print, and then ask me if it could do no wrong...? I'd tell you with conviction, YES, it in fact can do no wrong!

To me leopard is a color not a print, technically it's a print....but to me...it's a color (a neutral).

I honestly own so many different variations of this Leopard "color" it's borderline ridiculous, my love affair runs deep and you'd think I ran a zoo of no other animal other than leopards....ok...and a few snakes, a zebra...and a giraffe. 

I was drawn to these pants because it had a deep dark earthy hue and then when i actually tried it on and cuffed it up, I realized that the inside of the pants were olive....OLIVE!!!

It's these little details that make me appreciate clothing and the people who appreciate including these details in the clothing.

You'll never guess where I got them....Shoppers World....SHOPPERS WORLD! Do you know for how much? Inexpensive dollars.

Naturally I thought to pair it with this lightweight sweater and these gold holographic snake print flats, and as for the cuffing, there's nothing more sexy or chic than barring a little ankle while wearing pants.

Of course one of my cuffs decided to not play nice, and rolled on down. Oh, and for those who know what my mother looks like, I really couldn't look more like a clone of her in the photo below...even if I tried.
