Hey Loves!

The Holidays are HERE! So its time we start getting inspired with some festive Holiday looks. So I am here to do just that! I created this “Holiday Outfit Inspo Series” because I know its always a task to figure out what to wear for those Holiday parties and events. When I think of Holiday outfit inspo, I immediately think of sequins! So lets get into this gorgeous, green sequin dress shall we?

This long sleeve sequin dress had me at hello as soon as I saw it online. The maxi length, bat-wing sleeve, neckline and daring split in the front had all the makings of a fabulous Holiday dress. Also, its in one of my favorite colors: a gorgeous green! This sequin dress also comes in black, however, if you have a warm or deep complexion, the green will stand out and look beautiful on you! Whats even more amazing is this dress is under $100!! Such a score ladies!

I’ve rounded up a few other holiday party dresses I think are great below. The price points are a little higher than what I typically share with you all. But, holiday attire, especially with sequins, tend to be priced a little higher. So keep that in mind when on your search for the perfect holiday look!

Also, if dresses aren’t what you’re looking for, I rounded up a few sequin blazer and jacket options, coordinate sets and a couple of sequin pants that are just as stylish and festive too!

I hope you find this post helpful and inspiring when looking for your Holiday attire. I have two more Holiday inspired looks to share with you too. So stay tuned to this series!!

Summer Essentials: Summer Midi Dress Under $30!

written by Tanika Green

Outfit Details

ASOS Color Block Midi Dress

Urban Expressions Vinyl Clear Handbag (green no longer avail) and love this one!

Zara Vinyl Heeled Mules

Marble Drop Earrings and adore these turquoise pair

You guys can you believe this summer midi dress is under $30?? Its been marked down and I strongly suggest you pick this beauty up. The color block detail and the gorgeous coral and peachy tones makes for a gorgeous summer midi dress! Its truly a stunner!

I’ve recently discovered that shades of coral, peach and tangerine always looks so amazing against my skin tone. So I decided to keep an eye out for any pieces in those tones to add to my wardrobe. As you can see, this summer midi dress looks amazing on dark skin! Also, the cute cut out back detail just adds a little something special to gorgeous dress that I love! I’m so happy I found it. Be sure to grab it before it sells out! Its truly an amazing deal!

I decided since this midi dress had color block detail, to add in some pop of color or a contrast color to pull this look together. I went to my old faithful mint green acrylic earrings I’ve had for a few years and my go to mint green clear vinyl bag!

Have I mentioned how much I love my clear vinyl heeled mules? I swear they go with everything and elongates the legs beautifully. Check them out in my prior post! I would strongly suggest to give clear heels a try! You’d be amazed how easily it goes with basically everything, making it super effortless too!

I hope you enjoyed this post!

Have you found your summer go to dress yet?

Its Spring Dress Season Y’all!

Well, in most parts of the country it is! Anyways, lets chat about spring dresses shall we? I don’t know about you, but when the first big break in the weather hits, I’m on the hunt for great spring dresses. Spring dresses I feel are always necessary. We’ve covered our legs all winter season and its time to break free! Am I right? So this gorgeous floral pink and orange dress was just what the doctor ordered…. or what I ordered actually; to get my spring dress game ready for the season!

So I purchased this dress a few weeks back and shared it on my Instagram stories as a sneak peak. Unfortunately, its sold out! This is the downside about blogging, trying to get content and products up before they sell out or most sizes are gone. I strongly suggest you save this dress as a favorite on the website so you can check to see when its been restocked. Please make sure you are following me on Instagram so if I see this restocked, I’ll be sure to share with you there!

Anyways, this dress is beautiful! The pink and orange floral print are colorful yet chic. The dress has three cut outs! One on each side of the waist and one across the waist. I pulled it up a bit on me because I’m not that bold to share my pre summer stomach with you all 🙂 It also has side slits and is made with the prettiest satin fabric. So be careful, it is prone to snagging!

I’ll be sharing with you more pretty spring/summer dresses in my next few upcoming posts very soon, so stay tuned!

Its the most wonderful time of the year…. for Fashion in my opinion anyway. I adore wearing beautiful coats and boots during this season. Dallas does get cold during the winter, it may not be consistent or last as long as it does up north. So please understand how excited I get to break out my coats and knee boots. I was so into the over the knee boot craze for the past few years, that I believe I’m over it. Especially when I laid eyes on these Nine West beauties a few weeks back!!

These knee boots are even more beautiful in person: they are black, but color block in camel, navy and gray suede. The heel height is about 4 inches and they are comfortable as well. They are only available in size 5 on Nine West site. However, I found them for you on Zappos. So be sure to grab these asap before they sell out!

This coat is another stunner! The colors in this coat goes so well with my boots! I will say this coat is not heavy, its more like a car coat or a topper in the sense that the weight of the coat is in comparison to a heavy cardigan. So I wouldn’t wear this in 30 degree temps with the expectation of being kept nice and warm. But, its a great transitional piece to carry into the winter season!!

What are your favorite style pieces to wear during the Fall/Winter season? Obviously mine are definitely coats and boots! I always buy a new coat and new boots every year. I can’t get enough!

Be sure to follow me on Instagram to see all of my looks! These days with a baby, its getting a little challenging to write up a blog post. So Instagram is much easier for me to stay connected with you. Be sure to follow me HERE!

Jumpsuits: You Need This $40 Beauty In Your Life!

written by Tanika Green

jumpsuits, asos jumpsuit, denim jumpsuit, spring jumpsuit, dallas blogger, black fashion blogger

Jumpsuits are usually the first thing I look for when wondering what to wear to an event. They are an easy outfit considering its only one piece and tend to make a statement. I was recently inspired by a few jumpsuits that I saw on Pinterest of one of my favorite fashion bloggers, “Wendy’s Lookbook.” So I went to my favorite online store, ASOS, and immediately went to the search button and typed in “jumpsuits.” Well, that led to several pages that I did’nt particularly want to sift through.

Until I thought… I wonder if they have any cute denim jumpsuits?!

So when this off shoulder (yall know I love an off shoulder anything), ruffled, wide- legged beauty popped up. GIRL, I added it to my cart so fast. I am signed up with ASOS two day shipping service and I STILL could not wait for it to arrive!! Its seriously the most perfect, statement making jumpsuit for spring. Brunches, date nights, vacations! It will get so much love I cannot wait to wear it out again.

Ok, so how does this jumpsuit fit?

This fits true to size in my opinion, I ordered the size 4 and size 6 and kept the 6. My waistline like to act funny sometimes and I don’t always have time to play games. So I didnt want anything holding me back from wearing this jumpsuit. So the six fit me perfectly without being as snug in the tummy as the size four. Other than that, the fit gets a two thumbs up in my book!

Guess what, its now been marked down to $38!! Won’t He do it?!

I hope you have a great Easter weekend ahead. I will be attending church on Sunday and cooking dinner at home with my family. Easter always makes me so emotional. When I think of the sacrifice of a man who died for my sins, just so I could be me??

Its AMAZING!!

How to Wear Velvet In Spring: Velvet Midi Skirt and Bomber Jacket

written by Tanika Green

Hey loves!

Spring is here in Dallas! As a Michigander all of my life, Spring usually doesn’t hit Michigan until about May. So to have warm spring weather in Dallas in March always amazes me. But, I’m here for it because I can start transitioning winter pieces in my closet and remix them for spring! Like this velvet midi skirt I got a few weeks ago. I have been in love with it since I pulled it out of the package and the luxe velvet touched my fingertips. Was that too much? Sorry, but this skirt is just simply LOVELY and I want you to buy it!

If you are wondering how to wear velvet in Spring, the answer is pretty simple. You want to find a lightweight velvet piece that you can easily layer to go with the ever changing temps. The idea with extending velvet from Winter to Spring, is to make it more of a transitional piece that you can layer with multiple items in your closet. When I bought the skirt, my initial plan was to wear it with a sleek turtleneck and knee boots with a nice, streamlined coat and vampy lips. Well, I never got around to wearing that look since Spring got here so quickly. So I made some easy changes to make it spring ready! When I styled this look, it was one of those moments where I was desperate to make it happen. I was deep in my closet, searching on what to wear with this skirt. Nothing really stood out to me and I was close to giving up lol. Can I be honest with you for a sec? When I post looks on the blog, there is a little pressure there to get the look right. So I really go through it when I am creating an outfit because I don’t want y’all side eyeing me like “ummm girl, no!” lol.

Anyhoo, I am certainly pleased with this look. It has my name written all over it! I was glad that I was able to pair this velvet midi skirt with a few other spring transitional pieces such as the bomber jacket and the open toe booties (old Zara sale goody). I see myself wearing this look to events, church and brunch too!

I hope this post on how to wear velvet in spring gave you a few ideas. Do you have any velvet pieces in your closet that you want to carry in to spring? Let me know, I’d love to know how you plan to wear it!

Why I Love Rent The Runway: It’s The Perfect Travel Hack!!

Hey loves!

As you know, I was in New York a few weeks back for my very first New York Fashion Week (read about it here)! As you can imagine, packing for New York during the winter time is quite a feat. Not only do I need to be stylish, but stay warm as well. I mean, I’m all for fashion, but what I am not gonna do is freeze my butt off! So it was absolutely crucial to have pieces to layer and keep warm in, while enduring the cold while in NYC. Rent The Runway to the rescue!!

Rent The Runway is truly a great travel hack because you seriously save so much space in your luggage. You can rent dresses, accessories, coats, pants and handbags too!! Which to me, is quite important as I am a pro- carry on kind of girl. I love using packing cubes to save space in my luggage! Whats great about RTR is that you can go online, select your pieces and the date you need them and have them delivered your home, hotel or wherever. When I was in NYC last October, I rented a few dresses for our anniversary shoot and had them delivered to the hotel (see the shoot here and here). After my rental period was up, I simply returned them to the RTR store in NYC. If you are not in New York, don’t worry! You can totally return them via UPS as well. Seriously, how easy is that?!

Rent The Runway also has an Unlimited program where you can rent up to three pieces and keep them as long as you like for $139 a month. If you didn’t know, RTR has tons of designer items such as Marissa Webb, Derek Lamb, DVF, Zac Posen and lots more! Free shipping, dry cleaning and you can cancel at any time! So the next time you are planning your vacay and wondering what to wear, just head to RTR and have your selections delivered to you. I linked a few vacay ready pieces from Rent The Runway below. What a great hack right? Saving luggage space and still slay? You are winning!

Have you rented from RTR before? I’d love to hear what you rented and how you liked the service!

Please share!

Hey loves!

So we all know we need a classic white shirt in our closet, but sometimes you need to jazz things up! When I found this ASOS ruffle sleeve shirt I immediately fell in love. The best part is that it’s only $52! Thats quite a steal for such a unique shirt! Its perfect for jeans, skirts, culottes and anything else. I love those pieces in your closet that makes a statement. It makes getting dressed a little bit easier because you don’t need much to make your outfit stand out. You just put on this shirt and make it do what it do! I’m here for that!

I posted this shirt on my Instagram last night and everyone fell in love with it. So I figured I would post this look today for those of you who may not have seen it. You might wanna grab this ASOS ruffle sleeve shirt immediately before it sells out. I definitely don’t want you to miss out or FOMO as today’s generation calls it lol.

Right now the fam and I are at home in our pjs full from breakfast and enjoying a relaxing day at home. I absolutely adore the weekends! Especially the ones when we make breakfast as a family, curl up on the couch with no real plans but the day ahead of us. I love a little get up and go, but I really enjoy and appreciate these moments even more.

What are your plans for today??

Valentine’s Day Outfit Idea: ASOS White Jumpsuit for Under $40

Valentine’s Day is around the corner y’all! Do you have any plans? Considering its like, on a Tuesday, we’ll probably be at home. I don’t get why some holidays just don’t fall on a weekend so we can all enjoy it, right? Anyhoo, I have a great Valentine’s Day outfit idea for you! I found this jumpsuit on my number one go to site, ASOS.com! Y’all its ONLY $31!!! So let me tell you, when I ordered this jumpsuit and received the package, my mind was already made to return this jumpsuit. It was one of those moments where I felt like I had spent so much money lately and was willing to return any and every thing to get a piece of coin back. LOL, you know what I’m talking about. But, something told me, girl open up that package and try it on!! Listen, when I slipped this white jumpsuit over these legs and zipped it up, it was love at first sight.

This jumpsuit is simply everything: the material, the wide leg pant, culotte length and shoulder detail??!! It all commands attention and I cant wait to wear it out. After I drop about 5 pounds and get this tummy right that is. I don’t want to be held up in Spanx with this jumpsuit lol. Sometimes being able to breathe in your clothes is an amazing thing! As I type this post, this jumpsuit is only available in two sizes ( ugh!). But, continue to stalk the site for restocks! In my opinion, jumpsuits are a great Valentine’s Day outfit idea. I mean I wore one for last years blog post (check it out HERE). Surely, this is one you don’t want to miss! I also linked a few other cute options for you below in case your size in this jumpsuit is not stocked.
