Love.......& the Single Chic Girl

2013-01-27T16:29:00.000-05:00

Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and for those of us who are single or in relationships finding a Valentine's Day style can be tricky. For those of you who are single and plan to have a girls night out to celebrate, a soft and edgy style might best suit the occasion.

This look is a mix of feminine and edgy perfect for a single girl out on the prowl.

This set is created with high-end products, however you can find affordable options at Forever21 which carry high-low dresses and skirts as well as jackets and blazers.

The bracelet is one of my creations from Emani Wolf Creations and part of my Rocker Chic Collection.

High-low dresses and skirts are this seasons hottest fashion trend and can be seen on celebrities such as Khloe Kardashian & Mila Kunis.

This is my Single Chic Valentine's Day Style, what is yours????

I would love to hear from you on how you would rock this outfit!!!

Tropic in the Fall

2012-09-11T14:51:00.000-04:00

This outfit is centered around the wrapped hoop earrings from EmaniWolf. I took the color yellow from the earrings and used it as an accent color with the nails, bangles, and clutch.

I wanted to showcase an outfit with new high-low dress trend, which I absolutely love! This trend is flattering to almost every shape, drawing attention to the legs and rear subtly. The soft color of the dress tones down the vibrant color of the earrings making it perfect for the fall with the jacket and platform booties!

Keep in mind ladies, fall doesn't mean you have to wear muted or earth tone shades. By slowly introducing vibrant color through eye shadow, nails, or accessories can brighten up any fall outfit. The key is bright colors used in MODERATION!!

For the makeup the gold tones in the eye shadow works for both a day and night look, making stepping out after work a breeze.

Thanks ladies!!!! And feel free to show me your fall style using these colors.

Pretty 'n' Pink Fall Ombre Nails Tutorial

2012-09-11T00:43:00.002-04:00

Okay so I've recently started an obsession with Pinterest (follow me at atlcurvychick!) and although I've been in love with the Ombre trend that became really popular this year, I did not know that there was an Ombre nail trend!

So after I climbed out of the rock that I had been living under, I began seeing all these pins for different Ombre techniques. Being the DIYer that I am, I thought "hmmm I can do this."

The technique I chose to try was an Ombre effect on each nail. I used OPIs Panda-Monium Pink, DS Reserve, San Tan-Tonio, You Don't Know Jacques!, and Black Cherry Chutney (pictured below from left to right). I covered the DS Reserve with one coat of SinfulColors (found at Wal-Mart, Walgreens, and Target) All About You to give the pink glitter of the DS Reserve a gold glitter effect.

I started with the colors pictured above from right to left, and painted my nails from the thumb on. Here is the final product.

I love the mix of purple, browns, and pinks in these nails polishes, and the effect of them all together. Feel free to experiment with your own color mix, and comment and let me know how it turns out!

FYI.....these colors would go perfect with the Pretty 'n' Pink outfit posted earlier.

Hello readers!! I'm back! I know it's been awhile since I've blogged, but hey life got in the way, but I'm working on getting back on track and back blogging.

So I've been a little lax on taking pictures of my own outfits (I know what am I going to blog about!) but that's because I've been busy setting up my shop at Etsy called EmaniWolf!!

So while I have not been blogging, I have been productive. But here is an outfit that I absolutely love for the fall featuring one of my designs on sale at EmaniWolf.

This outfit is perfect for the office, then throw on that leather jacket to meet the girls (or your guy) for drinks after.

For this look I would do a pink and gold eye for the daytime

Then add a little black to the corners and smoke it out for night wear.

This outfit was inspired by the colors of summer and the tropics.

2012-03-24T12:15:00.000-04:00

This outfit was inspired by a warm summer day. The outfit pops with the yellow dress with the focus in the striped, platform, slingbacks. I added some contrast with the sea green accessories and topped it off with a bold eye and lip. Ready for happy hour!!

Here is an outfit I created on Polyvore, mainly because my social life this week has been non-existent.....so sad I know!!!

So to have something to post I put together this outfit. I think it is the perfect outfit for a night out with the girls or a date night.

Curvy in the City Part 1

2012-03-16T11:29:00.000-04:00

This is the start of my fashion chronicle as I navigate the city of Atlanta. This week I went out to the Ritz II, which is located on the South side of Atlanta. Let me just say that there were some interesting fashions showing up throughout the night.

For example I have never in my life seen a woman in a leotard outside of a dance class or ballet. Yet, that night I saw not one but two women wearing leotards. I will say this...one of the ladies had the body to kinda pull it off. However, the other woman clearly did not and it ended up looking a hot mess!

Also, in small doses I like animal print as much as the next gal, but ladies when you have a leopard dress and shoes, it just becomes print overkill! Animal print is also not for all shapes and sizes....for my plus size ladies animal print pants or a dress can end up looking unflattering and even comical. So remember ladies! Small doses please!!!

Now, I chose to dress pretty casual, for me, with my shoes dressing what could be called a pretty plain dress. I wore a tubed boyfriend shirt style dress from KnowStyle, and paired it with cream wedges by Levity from DSW.

I topped the outfit off with the Peacock earrings, gold and silver bangles from "Fashion Motivation Found!!!", and a taupe snakeskin clutch from Pink Sky Boutique.

I chose to wear my hair as an updo because I just love a quick bun that looks kinda messy but elegant. I also wanted to highlight my earrings. Boyfriend shirt dresses are a popular trend right now that I absolutely love!! With this dress you can go casual with some cute flat sandals or dress it up with a wide belt and heels.
These dresses fit sort of loose so it's perfect for slim or curvy shapes. These dresses are affordable and can be bought at different retail stores such as this dress from Forever21.

'Lil' Cowgirl Chic!!

2012-03-09T12:36:00.000-05:00

This post is dedicated to my Lil Fashionista in Training!!! She's only two but she already is a little diva.....as you can see she loves taking pictures!!!

I call her outfit Cowgirl Chic because all she would need is a hat and she looks like she is ready for a rodeo!!!

The top and sweater are Polo Ralph Lauren , the skirt is Old Navy, the tights are from the Children's Place, and lastly her knee boots are from Baby Gap.

Doesn't she look like she's ready to be the next Miley Cyrus?????!

Fashion Motivation Found Update!!

2012-03-09T12:23:00.000-05:00

I am very late in posting the new pics from my last blog, but here they are!!! I tried to include some pics of my makeup but they did not turn out very clear (sorry!). My night out at the Ultimate Sports Bar & Grill was a blast! I had so much fun and looked very cute doing it! Some might think I was a little overdressed for a sports bar, but my motto is I would rather be overdressed than underdressed (that's the worst).....plus that is just my personal style....

Hope you enjoy!!

Here are the pics that show my makeup! I used Urban Decays Naked palette and Book of Shadows. I also use tutorials on YouTube from iCraiz and julieg713 which are really amazing and detailed.

Fashion Motivation Found!!!

2012-03-06T20:35:00.004-05:00

I finally figured out what to wear!! I decided on a tube ruffle to dress from 5-7-9, purple pleather jacket from Forever21, and dark chocolate knee high boots from Bakers. The clutch is from Pink Sky Boutique, the bracelets are a mix of WetSeal and Forever21, and the Peacock and feather earrings I made.

I chose a dress because honestly I just could not think of a top to wear with pants or jeans, plus it's non-restricting and flatters every figure. I paired the purple jacket to bring out the purple tones present in the dress.

I HATE matchy-matchy items so usually if I am wearing a certain color on my feet (such as chocolate), I will introduce a different color my other accessories. The clutch I LOVE, it has the chocolate tones from the boots in the handle, but the body of the purse is a brown python pattern.

Boots and Clutch

Based on the pattern of the dress I decided to do a Peacock earring to bring out the green, gold, and blue tones in the dress.

Well....that's my outfit hope you like it!!! I will be posting a picture of it all put together soon!
