Polka Dotted Sweetheart.

by Jamila Pierre


So remember two posts ago when I made mention to the free dresses I acquired at the 2014 Shop & Swap.....? Well this is the other dress.

When I was thumbing through the racks SimplyBe had set up at the event, I came across this beaut right here. Again, I knew immediately that it would fit stupendously.

For what you'd typically consider to be a "Bodycon", this dress is cut in a way that sits upon your curves instead of restricting airflow. I'm here for it. Now this may be due to it being just a smidge bigger than my actual size, but either way it fits amazingly and allows me to show off my shape without making me feel like I can't even sit down without looking like stuffed sausage.

I'm in love with the sweatheart bodice and the spotted mesh, the design makes it easy to be demure while showing a little skin.

This dress is one miiiiiiiillion dollars over my budget, so to be honest here....I probably would've never bought this dress, but I know that my budget may not be the same as someone else, regardless his dress is beautious none the less.

I paired it with my statement "pearl" necklace and these delectable glitter kitten heels from Zara (Circa 3-4 yrs ago). I fancy this look because it's simple yet far from plain.

  2. Dress from Simplybe. $165 (Free dollars at the Shop & Swap)
  3. Kitten Heels from Zara.com. $50 (Birthday gift many moons ago from the Hubby)

Calling All Statement Blazers!

by Jamila Pierre


Blazers get in my closet!

Who in their right mind doesn't like em', own em', and/or want em'?

All I ever wore for years of my adolescent life were hoodies, cause as I've stated in numerous posts before, I was a grungy little east village party kid. Then as became more of a "lady", I wore almost nothing but cardigans.

Flash forward to about two years ago, I became a full fledged businessman with my own theme song as I walked down the street or entered a room.

Yet another bit of information I've included in prior posts, I have a strong affinity towards work wear silhouettes/attire with a touch of a spark...i'm either ready to go to work, a die hard/rebellious/punky souled individual, or I'm rockin' straight hobo fashions...that's me in a nutshell.   

I've generated quite the collection and though i'm not showcasing all of my blazers here, I do hope you enjoy the ones I am, as much as I enjoy wearing them.
