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.

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

20160726-mariya_nicole-008a

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!

Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter Hot Pants

marc jacobs hot pantsBy now, you’ve probably heard that we are experiencing an extremely warm winter here in New York. It’s been about 65 degrees and I am praying that it stays that way! In honor of this beautiful weather, I decided to try those impractical-looking hot pants you’ve seen on the runway for the fall/winter? I first spotted them in Marc Jacob’s Fall 2013 fashion show (with the giant sun below) and thought they were fabulous but in that snow, I just didn’t see it happening.

Well, I love these Marc Jacobs hot pants and you can pair them with those see-through skirts to make a bold statement. Not for the faint of heart but absolutely fabulous.

Spring Fashion Sketch, Art Gifts and Therapy

IMG_3456

As the weather starts to turn to winter, I am reminiscent of this past summer. And I am already looking forward to Spring 2016.

After having finished FIT, I’ve been on the grind working on some special projects including new artwork and fashion sketches. Art has been my therapy for years. I can get lost with a brush and some color.

Speaking of artwork, we’ve got some great prints that would make fabulous holiday gifts. We can also take your favorite print and make pillows, coffee mugs and other items. Head over to the artwork shop and inquire within for more info!

Sincerely,
