As SS17 Comes In…

As the weather changes and gives way to Fall, let’s remember this awesome Spring and Summer that we had this year. And let’s get excited about the new Spring collections for next year debuting this month.

I remember this shoot I did some time ago in the Spring where I wore a Bebe white skirt and top. It’s a great outfit for the office to the afterwork spot. And those sunglasses are fabulous even for now as the seasons change.

Turquoise looks great on my skin tone. You have to pay attention to what colors look great for you. I’ve worn this outfit so many times, check out more work outfits here!

Funky Graffiti Wall

I love graffiti. There’s just something so rebellious and beautiful about it. I recently came across this door downtown and just thought it was really cool. New York is a dirty, grungy city but this is the kind of beauty that you can randomly find on the street sometimes.

Have a great day and don’t forget to check out some of my new paintings here.

Pretty for Fall: Alexis Orchid Marisa Midi Dress

So Fall is right around the corner whether you like it or not. And this cute Alexis Orchid Marisa Midi Dress is available for pre-order from ModaOperandi. It reminds me of Gucci a bit but it’s not. I think it’s just dreamy. Pair it with over the knee Santoni black boots and you are ready to make a strong statement.

Romantic lace is a big trend for Fall 2016 and see-through fabric is definitely here to stay for some time. Get excited for Fall and while you’re shopping, make sure to check out this pre-fall shoe edit here.

Blue Lips and Denim

Blue Lips + Denim Malinda Knowles

I decided to try a blue lipstick recently and have been rocking it ever since…especially with denim. An all denim look can be really cool. I paired one of my favorite J Brand jeans with an off the shoulder top from Zara (similar here and here). They’ve been really popular this summer and they actually let your body breathe a little bit in the heat.

Jars by Dani Desserts

8E5A0520-1024x697

So this week I popped by the Jars by Dani headquarters downtown to check out the instafamous desserts. Not only were they so fun to look at with rainbow cake and sprinkles but the bite I had was absolutely delicious! She topped the jar with ice cream and those rainbow cake balls and the cake was moist, rich and just lovely. It’s definitely that item for a cheat meal but worth it if you have a sweet tooth!

Peep her website here.

Milly Dress and Summer Rosé Wine on the Roof

Malinda Knowles Milly Dress

This summer has been all about soaking up the sun rays and ros wine. We still have some time before Fall to enjoy the weather.

I love when the art and fashion collide, especially on a dress. I recently wore this Milly dress to an AKA luncheon and everybody was in love. It’s perfect for that kind of affair, brunch, lunch, or business with a nice blazer. Check out more summer dresses here.

Isa Arfen Tiered Ruffle Dress

This summer I’ve enjoyed my Isa Arfen tiered ruffle dress. It’s perfect to make a statement in this heat! This dress is sold out but check out this similar Isa Arfen skirt and slip dress. I paired the dress with a Rebecca Minkoff black quilted leather handbag (which kind of goes with everything).

I feel tropical cool in this dress and tried a new green color on my nails to go with it. Peep more photos below!
