Happy money-makin Monday! Farfetch is having a great sale for Singles Day, 22% off selected items. Ashish made a sweatshirt perfect for the Fall that captures what everybody is thinking about 2020. We all have to move on from this pandemic. In any case, they also have some Off-White sneakers that I adore (below). Busy day ahead so check out more from the sale below: Lisa Marie Fernandez bikini, Tender and Dangerous Face Mask and a Dolce & Gabbana pink handbag. Enjoy the sale!

Día de Los Muertos

Today is Día de Los Muertos or “Day of the Dead.” It’s important to honor your ancestors and those that paved the way for you to be here today. I’m wearing my Kimchi black see-through skirt today and feeling regal. Later today I’m definitely going to go through some old photo albums. What are you doing to celebrate those that came before you today?

 

Hoy es Día de Los Muertos or “Day of the Dead.” Es muy importante honor tus antepasados quienes allanó el camino para que ustedes estén aquí hoy. Estoy usando mi negro Kimchi falda y me siento royal. Este tarde voy a mirar álbumes de fotos antiguos. ¿Qué están haciendo ustedes hoy para celebrar sus antepasados?

Last Call for the M2 “Sunset on a Florida Parking Lot” Collection

Hey there! So designing this collection was amazing and I am so proud of myself. As you may know, I designed a small spring/summer collection inspired by my Sunset on a Florida Parking Lot painting. Well, this is the last call before I make it an archived collection. 

In these photos, I am wearing the Sunset on a Florida Parking Lot skirt as well as bandeau top. They are both on sale and the sequin denim are great for the Fall. And, don’t worry about me, they always say “this too shall pass.”

What’s your favorite piece of the collection?

Alero’s Wedding

 

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Bell! My cousin Alero Barrett and DeJuan Bell got married over the Fourth of July weekend and we all had a ball! I don’t know if it was the one year wait, the pandemic shutdown or what but we all cried (happy tears) and partied like never before. The weather was actually a little cool and overcast but I was happy to take it as opposed to severe New York summer heat. Anyway, I wore a Kikiriki lavender tulle dress, a Beauty and the Beast handbag and Steve Madden clear sandals. The bride wore two gorgeous dresses by Diana Mahrach– I was just in love with all the details.

Check out more photos and videos below and if you are planning to be a wedding guest soon, make sure to check out Nordstrom’s curated wedding guest looks here (they’re having a big sale now too).

The Fashion at Inauguration Day 2021

So I just had to take another look at all of the beautiful fashion on display at Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day ceremony. Michelle Obama looks absolutely amazing in Sergio Hudson, a Black designer from South Carolina. Dr. Jill Biden wore an ocean-blue wool tweed coat over a dress by American designer Alexandra O’Neill of the Markarian label. And, Vice President Kamala Harris wore a purple outfit by a young black designer Christopher John Rogers.

Jennifer Lopez sang in a Chanel number and Lady Gaga stunned in a gorgeous Schiaparelli design. Lastly, a young poet laureate Amanda Gorman wore a yellow Prada coat. It was a moment that will go down in history. Congratulations to Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden!

Ruffles, Harnesses and Tulle at the Gucci F/W 2020 Show

The Gucci Fall/Winter 2020 show was quite different this year, starting with a rotating circle of dressers and models. There was quite a bit of ruffles, tulle and harness wear that flirts femininity with roughness. There was also some great pops of color to brighten up some of the usual black in fall/winter wardrobes. It was a great show and a daring open to Milan Fashion Week. Check out more photos below!
