Finally, I've had a Sunday to myself. I have been extremely busy and "relaxed" Sundays haven't come by so easily. Being able to sleep in on Sunday was a blessing. Energized, I decided to play dress up! Thankful to my friend, Danielle Smithen, she entrusted me to style her. The theme was "Glam with a modern twist."

Versace! Versace! Versace!

M.I.A. is just so cool. She's so smart! Her music videos are always well thought out and always something to look forward to. 

So, when I heard that M.I.A. was thinking about doing a collection, I knew immediately it was going to be dope. Two weeks ago I was so excited to hear that her collection had finally hit stores! 

I love the thought process behind this collection. The way M.I.A. came up with this collection is so clever. She turned "bootleg street wear" to a full blown collection. When interviewed by WWD, M.I.A said, "When I was contacted by Versace, it seemed a great idea to invert the circle. Versace's designs have always been copied, now it's Versace that copies the copies, so those that copy must copy the copies. So this will continue."

That's a dope concept!

How to: Dressing for a Christian Concert

Concerts are always something to look forward to. It's a great excuse to play dress up. Finding the right outfit can be a difficult task, especially when seeking the correct outfit for a Christian concert. You don't want to come across as sleazy and you definitely do not want to be overdressed. As the saying goes, “There is a time and place for everything.” So let me guide you in the pursuit of finding the right attire for a Christian concert. 

JUMPSUITS
I adore jumpsuits! While they are extremely comfortable, if styled properly they can be very chic.

Above are three jumpsuits, I would wear! For jumpsuit no.2 a camisole could be worn under to hide any cleavage. Also, dress it up with a nice blazer and “killer” shoes!


MIDI LENGTH DRESSES
An issue in attending a Christian concert is not looking too suggestive. Wearing a midi length dress is a solution to this problem. A  midi length dress allows you to look “hot” without looking inappropriate.
 
A great way to "glam" up your dress is by wearing a cute clutch!


PRINTS
If you are not afraid to step out of the box in your style , rocking a floral print should be no problem. A floral trouser or skirt can be worn with a matching top or a solid top. Pair it with transparent heels or clutch and you are ready to go!



LEATHER
Wearing a leather skirt, leather pants or a leather dress is a great way to look edgy but still very sophisticated.

Try mixing leather with a floral print blazer and chic booties.

There you have it! A complete guide to the right outfit for a Christian concert!

If you will be in the TORONTO area, The Mississauga SDA Church invites you to an evening of Powerful, Heart-warming Inspirational music. Committed, comprised of graduates from Oakwood University in Hunstville, Alabama, the winner of the NBC's reality show " The Sing Off "will be in concert with other guest artists from the GTA. Come out and support. You will be glad you did!

OOTD: Crushed Velvet

Still can't believe summer is over! I have made a vow to myself that by the age of 30 I will live somewhere that is hot all year round! Chilly weather is for the birds, and even they migrate south (pun fully intended). So since I'm stuck in the great white north, I'm going to have to stay warm. This fall, I have fallen (I am on a rolllll) in love with crushed velvet. Crushed velvet has a more lustrous appearance than regular velvet which I think gives the material much more personality. It feels very nice to the touch, and can be easily dressed up or down to suit any look you're going for. And did I mention this baby will keep you nice and warm this coming season?

OOTD: Tuesday Black Affair

I've decided to play dress up yesterday. I enjoyed a lovely weekend with my girlfriends. It was nice to relax before embarking on the notorious week ahead of me. Is it Friday yet?  

Well, to get these shots was hard work. I’m no photographer! I couldn’t find my tripod so I had to use my piano and angle the camera right, put the timer on and then run into position for the picture. I laughed at myself at times, but it was all fun!

Well, check out my OOTD below!
