Night @ the Movies :-)

My hubby and I were a bit bored last night so we decided to catch a movie. We really had no idea what was currently in theaters, but we figured that when we get there, then we'll decide what we were going to see. We caught the midnight showing of Little Fockers. 

I decided to go with my version of casual chic, since we were just catching a late movie and probably a little bite to eat afterwords. Even when dressed casually, a diva always has to spruce it up a little lol.

Leather Biker Jacket- Baby Phat (Circa '08)

Gray Turtleneck- ZARA, Spiked Belt- Express

Clutch-Asos, Shoes- Sam Edelman Torin wedges 

These shoes are definitely not practical for cold weather, but they look sooo good with skinny jeans, I just couldn't resist.

Gray Stone washed skinny jeans- FCUK (French Connection United Kingdom)

The movie was funny, but still not as good as the first one (Meet the Parents). 

Favorite line- "Are you prepared to be the god-Focker?"...lol 

fyi- Jessica Alba's character, Andi Garcia is a bit CRAaaaaazy....lol

Chillin' in the Evening (literally) lol

Wool Coat- ZARA, Hat- H&M

Ok, so this post is not of my normal divalicious style, but I was on my way to choir practice and I decided to take a few pics of my everyday casual winter style. Jeans, a sweater, and boots is my uniform of choice. 

Baby Pink Turtle Neck- H&M, Purple Skinny Jeans- Macy's

Handbag- Dooney & Burke, Boots- Aldo

Sorry if the pics are a bit dark, I just wanted to head on home; it was dark and a bit cold outside lol.

The man himself is back!...

OMG- I'm soo excited!!!...



Gucci never really reclaimed it's height of fabulousity after Tom Ford was forced to resign. Well now the man himself is back with a line named after himself that is supposed to be a bit more affordable and just as fierce. Take a look at Tom Ford’s Spring/Summer 2011 womenswear collection.

Check out the video :-)

☞OOTD- 1/4/2011 :-)

So for the new year I decided to take inventory of my closet and see what I have. I completely forgot that I had this blue and white button down shirt, so I decided to build my outfit around it today. It's amazing how many things you forget you have lost in your closet lol. 

Belt- Forever21

Blue & White Button Shirt- ZARA

Although this shirt was probably designed to be used to dress up a corporate outfit, I decided to dress it down a little and add a little edge to it. I really appreciate the idea of contrasting concepts when it comes to putting an outfit together.

Black Stretch Skinny Jeans- Forever21

Black Suede & Leather Boots- Aldo

I believe that everyone should take inventory of their closet at least once or twice a year,  you may be surprised to what you find. Even if you don't find anything that surprises you, try wearing what you have in a totally unexpected way. I find that that is a simple way to bring life to any outfit :-).

Tutorial Coming Soon... :-)

I hope all of you divas are having a great day so far :-)

Happy New Year!!!...Oldies, but Goodies :-)

Black suede & leather handbag- Dooney & Burke (5 years old)

The word vintage is copied from its use in wine terminology, as a more elegant-seeming euphemism for "old" clothes. - Wikipedia

Although I have never really been a fan of secondhand vintage clothing, I do have a huge respects for garments that can maintain their quality over long periods of time. In this current era of "trendy", most garments are not built to last. They are constructed to last about a season or two before you toss them out and purchase the next "trendy" piece. I have no issues with trendy garments (I purchase them), but I am a huge believer in investment/ staple pieces as well. These are items that although they may cost a bit more, their quality, construction, and timelessness actually makes them worth the investment over a longer period of time.

Leather trench coat with vintage fur collar (coat -8 years old: fur collar about 25 years old)

Belt & Dark blue jeans- Forever21

These are the most recent items that I purchased, but also the most affordable pieces of the outfit

Leather, Suede, & Fur Boots- Aldo (7 years old)

I absolutely love these boots. They were a gift from my boyfriend at the time (which is my hubby now) to celebrate our 3rd anniversary of being a "couple".  I remember when I laid my eyes on them in an Aldo boutique store in SoHo...it was love at first site. They were actually the most expensive pair of boots in the store at that time, but they were worth every penny. These boots were made in Spain, the upper portion is made from soft suede, real fur, an all leather interior, and leather laces; they have leather soles and a 3.5 in heel.  

I had to get them a half size smaller because my regular size of 8.5 was sold out, but I didn't care because I had to have them. The first year, they were a bit uncomfortable to wear because of the size, but I didn't care because they are gorgeous (sometimes we suffer for fashion lol). Now after 7 years of owning them, they are actually very comfortable (thank goodness that leather and suede stretched a little with time). Although I don't wear them often, when I do wear them they are always attention grabbers. I love them so much, I now refer to them as my Thunder Cats boots because Thunder Cats used to be one of my Favorite cartoons growing up. Idk, but there is something about them that reminds me of Cheetara & Tygra :-)

I hope you all are having a great New Year so far. I pray that this will be the best year of all of our lives so far.

FACE OF THE DAY :-)
