Porsha William’s Versace-Inspired Pop Art Dress for Atlanta Pride

Hey y’all, how are you doing? So, I just loved Porsha Williams from the Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Versace-inspired pop art dress that she wore to Atlanta Pride. I’ve been a fan of hers and the Housewives franchise for many years and love watching her on the show. She is also indeed in a relationship with Patrice “Sway” McKinney and stands up for the gay community in Atlanta. 

Anyway, did you see her dress? It was custom made by Rey Ortiz and is a recreation of the 1991 Marilyn Monroe x Andy Warhol Versace pop art printed dress. I believe her face was printed on the dress and shoes. Porsha also wore signature custom jewelry by Emmanuel Constantinos Tsakiris of House of Emmanuele couture jewelry. Just fabulous.

What The F*cK Hell Been Goin On

   

Hey y’all, how are you doing? Know it’s been a while. What the f*ck hell been going on you say? Everything. I’ve been keeping it low key this summer. A few trips to the beach with my boo, dog park with my Vivi and throwing down in the kitchen. Still running from a domestic violence offender I saw a a few times in 2011. Chile. There’s a lot of R. Kelly’s out there, the police turn often turn a blind eye and expect women and children to fend for themselves until there’s some kind of public outcry. 

Other than that, I’ve been wearing jean shorts because it is extremely hot in Florida. Also, copped this ALC Simone Studded Leather handbag which is actually on sale. Paired it with this denim Good American dress that has proved to be a really good buy. This past weekend I went out to a new club downtown and wore this cute JLorraine Designs polka dot jumpsuit. It was so comfortable and cute. I also pulled out my Sammy B. butterfly crop top and recently wore this cute see-through Fashion Nova bodysuit for my birthday this past April. It was cute for the occasion. Shout out to Elisabetta’s Ristorante downtown, their pasta and food is delicious. Peep more photos below. What have y’all been wearing in this heat?

Four Cute Heels Perfect for This Summer Heat

Hey, how are you all doing? It’s the height of the summer and it sure is really hot down here in South Florida. I spotted four cute heels perfect for a sundress or even a pair of shorts. It’s been said that I wear heels too much but honey, I used to walk up and down stairs in New York wearing stiletto heels and feeling fabulous. It’s just in me. And, I think every girl’s figure is flattered with a little height. Do you like these? Check out more below.

Cinq à Sept Summer Suit

Happy Monday! Time to throw on that work gear, be productive and make some money. I recently copped a light baby blue Cinq à Sept summer shorts suit (blazer and similar shorts here) that is perfect for this heat. I paired it with some Dolce & Gabbana floral print heels and my Marc Jacobs blue handbag. I’ve been in financial services since 2006, working independently now with Knowles Financial Group.

Who says work clothes have to be boring? With a statement necklace and shoes, you can really jazz up a suit. Anyway, what have you been wearing to work?

Proenza Schouler Cutout

Good afternoon! It’s been so hot down here in South Florida that your dresses have got to be breathable. So I’ve been wearing this Proenza Schouler cutout dress that has been somewhat light and airy. I also recently copped these J. W. Anderson leather flats that go with almost everything, a really good buy (shoes and similar below). I pair it with my yellow Rebecca Minkoff handbag which sets off the yellow in the dress. The cutout trend is here to stay for a while, have you picked up on the trend?

Rainy Dayz at the Store

So, how was your weekend? I’ve been working at a store and enjoying it. It was raining quite a bit this weekend so I threw on my leather pearl chain boots and a black Karl Lagerfeld t-shirt dress. You can dress it up and down and I love pairing it with this t-shirt dress. I think they were inspired by these Chanel boots that did very well years ago. After work, I got my nails done and I am so excited to have found a new fabulous nail tech at Avalon Nails and Spa in West Palm Beach. Her name is Kayla and she just does an amazing job. What have you been wearing this summer when it rains?

Karl Lagerfeld Pearl Chain Boots + Denim Skirt

So recently I stumbled upon a Karl Lagerfeld store at a nearby outlet mall and had no idea that the store was in West Palm Beach. Their items are cute and makes me wish that Karl was still alive. What a legend, right? From their button down tops to chain and pearl boots, the store will excite you about Karl’s legacy. Recently wore this Karl Lagerfeld t-shirt, Mother denim skirt (not similar but very cute Aknvas Rivington ruffled skirt here) , lace-up and Karl Lagerfeld pearl chain boots and a vintage black Rebecca Minkoff purse (similar here). The boots remind me of Chanel’s 2013 chain boots featured on the runway here.

Cute New Gold Shoes

       

Good morning! So it’s officially almost the holidays and these cute new gold shoes are perfect for the occasion. They are also fabulous for just a night out on the town with some gold hoop earrings that you can personalize (seen above).

I have a pair of sequined Betsey Johnson gold shoes that I’ve had for years. They have lasted for a long time, so never be afraid to buy designer as the quality is usually better but the pricepoint is higher. Anyway, have a good day!

Fringed Shoes and Accessories at the Ulla Johnson FW 2023 Show

Fringe has been on the runway this season. So have cutouts and sequins. But fringe is certainly making statements this Fall/Winter 2023 New York Fashion Week. Ulla Johnson showed her gorgeous garments and I just fell in love with some of the accessories on the runway. From tie-up flats to bejeweled heels, Ulla Johnson definitely made a statement. What are your favorite details on the runway this season?
