The NYC Fashionista

Hey Fashionistas,

Now that school is out for the summer, I will now have time to do some more blogging. I really miss blogging. I can't wait to show off my new style and looks of the season and for the summer. This season I have seen some fabulous styles and fashion.

I miss you all and I hope everyone have a great summer. Be on the look out for my next blog post. As always stay fabulous and love yourself.

Until Next Time,

Hey fabulous people,

As you know today is my 24th birthday!! YAY!!! and I thought it was best to do a post because it's been a while since I made a post so I thought should show pictures of the gifts my dear sister brought me for my birthday.

Now this what my sister brought my for my birthday. I'm truly blessed to have sisters that will provide for their younger sister. Not a lot of people can say that but I'm so happy to get gifts. But the best has yet to come, my gift from my mom is not only my cake but money to go shopping this weekend....Oh I can't wait. And a gift from my dad is of course, money because a girl needs to shop!!
This is a picture of my birthday cake that my mom brought me:

Even though my dad is in Trinidad and Tobago for vacation, I know my dad will take care of his youngest child when he comes back and I can't wait.

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and did! It feels good to be 24 because I know it's just an age, but I feel like I'm getting a little wise, and I'm finally coming out of my shell again. And i'm finally happy again. Hopefully I can make more time to put of new post at least twice or three times a week that would be great. I miss writing and giving my little fashion views. Much love sweethearts.

Until Next Time,

So I came up with an idea to do an outfit of the day either starting on my first day of class or the week before I start school. With my style, I switch it up a bit. some days I can wear a cute pair of Forever21 jeans with a button down shirt, my hello kitty bag and my Uggs or I can wear a fitted black dress with a pair of red booties. My styles varies because I like to try different things. My favorite piece that I like to wear a lot it my cute bow ring from Forever 21. It was my favorite thing I brought in October but the one thing that I really want to get is a pair of Jeffery Campbell's Lita shoes. I'm obsessed with those shoes because they are so freaking hot I don't even know how to explain how much I love them. But I do plan to get them very soon. But I can't wait to do an outfit of the day because you get to see what I wear and what makeup or jewelry I usually put on with that outfit. This is my personal style, everyone has one. Their style identifies with how the person is and how that put their look together. But not only will I be doing a Outfit Of The Day I will also make a video of the out that i'm wearing and post it up on here.

I can't wait to do this outfit of the day, I hope everyone enjoys them and give feedback on any other suggestions or ideas, I really appreciate it.

I'm Back!! With EXCITING NEWS!!! :)

2011-09-14T23:57:00.000-07:00

Hello fabulous people,

I was on total hiatus since June, I just been busy with some stuff from school and getting the ultimate writer's block. But since i'm back in school, my writer's block have gone away!! YAY!! I have a lot to write about and I cant wait to share it with my fabulous followers.

On another note, I started another blog on tumblr, La Dolce Fab. It basically a mixture of different things other than fashion. Of course I will never leave my love for fashion but I will like to focus on other things like music, television, movies, etc. In La Dolce Fab, I will be interview people, doing DIY's, Outfit of the Day with other followers and non tumblr followers and many other things. It's my other literary child after this blog. And I also want to show aspiring actors, fashion designers, musicians, rappers, etc to other followers or other people. Everyone have a dream, why not let it be seen by other people?

And this is so much more that will be seen on La Dolce Fab, so if you have a tumblr, follow me: ladolcefab.tumblr.com ladolcefab.tumblr.com ladolcefab.tumblr.com and Spread the word to other people that La Dolce Fab is TAKEN OVER!! Also, if you have any suggestions, ideas, or you have question you want to ask, don't hasitate to ask me here or on La Dolce Fab's page. Or you can email me: ladolcefab@yahoo.com and make sure you participate in my Outfit of the Day picture post or to be interview for my LDF's Spotlight post also. I will speak more about the LDF Spotlight in a later post, so be on the look out for that.

So again, Follow me on Tumblr (ladolcefab.tumblr.com) and spread the word of my fabulous blog...pretty please!! lol!! :)

**If you are an aspiring fashion designer, musician, writer, artist, model, etc...send some information about yourself and a picture of you or a sample of your work for the blog at ladolcefab@yahoo.com**

Until next time.

XOXO,

ShoeDazzle!: My new FAVE online store!

2011-06-26T19:27:00.000-07:00

Hey Fashionistas,
OMG! I am in love with ShoeDazzle.com. This online website that was made by Kim Kardashian and other celebrity designers. ShoeDazzle is an online website that finds your style and your fashion taste when it comes to shoes. I was just finding surfing around the website, and I came across these gorgeous pair of nude heels that just calling my name. Seriously I'm going to cheat on my boyfriend with these shoes...lol! They are called the Chanelle heels and they are just saying..."Hello Lover!" :)

These are the Chanelle heels that I will be buying every soon. These shoes are the type of shoes that you can wear not only to party, but you can also wear it with a cute pair of blue skinny jeans, or a cute skirt plus the nude color goes with anything. It comes in two other colors (gray and black) and its just $39.95! Yes, I said it $39.95! A fabulous price for a fabulous pair of shoes.

The best part about the website is that everything is $39.95, all the shoes! I am just in awe with this website. I have heard of ShoeDazzle before but this is the first time that I ever went on the website and did a little shopping looking around. I'm very impressed with this website and they will be seeing me again and I will be getting the chanelle heels. If you haven't been on ShoeDazzle, you should do so it's a great website and any girl would love it. Smooches Fashionistas.

XOXO,

I have always a thing for shoes and my love is really for Christian Louboutin and his beautiful trademark red soles. I always wanted to own a pair but you know, you can never say never. Shoes are usually very beautiful especially designer shoes.

Photo Courtesy from InStyle.com

Christian Louboutin is a very talented designer when it comes to his shoes. Celebrities from Blake Lively(above), Beyonce, Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez just to name a few who wear his shoes. But not only does celebrities crave on Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik is another designer that has also have a love for. One of my most favorite Sex and The City character, Carrie Bradshaw, was a lover of Manolo Blahnik as is Sarah Jessica Parker.

Now Manolo Blahnik is my personal favorite especially the well known Manolo Blahnik blue shoes with the diamonds in the front (above) which were wore by Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City: The Movie. It's a well known piece of footwear usually have beautiful shoes. Many Celebrities like Ashley Olsen, Whitney Port(below), Tyra Banks and many others.

Summer Is Here! Romper Galore!

2011-06-20T00:29:00.000-07:00

Summer is on the way and looks are coming into place. In my resent search for a romper for the I came across the cute romper I found in Rainbow (I love that store). The picture above is the romper I brought at Rainbow. Made by Caren Sport, the floral prints makes the outfit stand out and goes with any sandals. I wore my black espadrilles which went well with it.

What I also like about this romper, was the pockets on both side of the outfit(left side). The pockets are deep and hold my cell phone and my camera very well. Rompers are still a good look for the summer, many shops still sell rompers like H&M, Forever 21 just to name some stores. Some rompers don't come with pockets but most do.

If you want to be nice and cool for the summer this a pretty look. Romper is a cute style that most females can pull off...including myself. :)

Here are some other rompers, short and long that would look good for the summer. Even if you go to the beach, or a nice outing with friends or your boyfriend, A romper is a good look. place some long necklaces and bangles it will go well with this look.

*Caren Sport - $16.99 (1X-3X)

Other Stores selling Rompers

Victoria's Secret Liner Romper: $24.99

Old Navy Women's Plus Ruffled Slub-Knit Rompers: $24.94

Malene Birger Salja Printed Romper from calypsostbarth.com: $350

You can also google "Rompers" in the search engine and you can find plenty of other rompers. For reasonable price or if you want to spurge. Happy shopping Fashionistas.

Pretty Shoes for Pretty Girls

2011-06-19T22:01:00.000-07:00

I have a love for flats and heels but these flats called to me when I brought them. The Rouge black suede flat with sliver beads from Rainbow are a cute pair of flats that you can wear anywhere. Causal and nightlife those shoes are great for that. I usually wear these flat with a cute pair of skinny jeans or a pair of leggings.

Rainbow is a nice place to get cute outfits no matter what the occasion may be. Rainbow is usually on the east coast but they might have it in the west coast. Smooches Fashionistas.

*Rogue Suede w/Sliver Beads -$19.99

XOXO,

This is the beginning of a BEAUTIFUL relationship!

Well, I can't believe i'm starting a fashion blog. Its something I want to do on the road to becoming a fabulous fashion journalist. Taking the highlights of my idol, fictional character, Carrie Bradshaw and my passion for fashion and creative writing. While writing this blog, I will take different looks from the fashion captial and my hometown, New York City and show different styles and looks because we all have different styles we might as well show it to the world. I can't wait to start this fashion blog because this is my birth child, my literal muse. I hope everyone can enjoy this because I know I will. :) Smooches Fashionistas.
