Heyi Stylesetters!
It’s officially summer which means longer days, warmer weather, and… the 2014 FIFA World Cup! That’s right it’s that time again where the screams of victory and vuvuzelas can be heard from miles around. It’s that time when friends flock around TV screens to watch their favorite futbol teams compete for soccer supremacy. Yep, nothing sparks World Cup fever like a gathering over futbol and fashion. That’s right, fashion! In case you didn’t know, futbol and fashion go hand in hand. Hey, you want to celebrate your favorite team right? — and there’s no better way to represent them than to do it in style. So in the spirit of soccer and celebrations, here are a few futbol-inspired looks to kick-off your summer style looking FIFA fabulous.
Style Suggestion: Make FIFA even more fabulous and host a World Cup cocktail party.
World Cup team colors are very vibrant and bold, so don’t be afraid to wear rich tones when cheering your fav team on. The “goal” here is to show your own sense of style while still represent your team or country. If you want to “kick” things up a notch try adding a statement piece such as a fabulous necklace or handbag. Incorporating a statement accessory is a definite style SCOOOOORE for any occasion!
U.S.A.
What better way to celebrate style and the good ol’ U.S. of A. than with a little patriotic pizzazz. Red, white, and blue may be the primary colors here, but everyone will be ‘green’ with envy when they see your fabulous sense of style take center field.

Germany
One of top teams each and every World Cup, Germany has staked its dominance in FIFA futbol by being bold and aggressive. So represent your German-glam by rocking black, red, and gold with lots of bravado.
Classiques Entier ‘Abella’ Poplin Peplum Top (Nordstrom $128.00), Diane von Furstenberg Naples Laser Cut Leather Shorts (Neiman Marcus $313.50), Gucci Broadway Guccissima Evening Clutch Bag (Neiman Marcus $495.00), BCBGeneration Cosmo Slingback Ankle Strap Sandals (Macy’s $89.00)
Brazil
The host nation for the 2014 World Cup, Brazil is known for its rich colors and vibrancy. Bright green, yellow, and blue make up this countries primary hues, so go for a look that is sure to stand out amongst the crowd.

Italy
One of the countries on my bucket list, Italy is not only known for its fab fashion and food, but they are a powerhouse contender when it comes to soccer. Deep greens, whites, and reds are the hues to choose when cheering on Italy. With this team’s tones its go bold or go home…and if you’re from Italy feel free to take me along if you do. 😉

They’re baaack! Just in time for summer, movie-goers will get a second dose of the hilarious side-splitting sequel, Think Like A Man Too. The comedy blockbuster hits theaters on Friday, June 20 for round “Too” as all of the original cast member’s return to heat up the hilarity in one of the seasons most anticipated films. Earlier today I had the pleasure of attending an exclusive meet and greet with cast member’s Kevin Hart (Ride Along and Laugh at My Pain ) and Terrence J (40 Year-Old Virgin ) at Macy’s Lenox Square. Attendees of the event got a little insight on the film, mixed and mingled a bit, and enjoyed many moments of laughter as Kevin Hart was in rare form. I had a lot of fun time at the event. In fact, I had so much fun that I’m doing double duty tonight (that sounded weird, right?). Tonight I’m bringing you along to my very own sequel which I call “Think Like A Man Too-Too”. In this second installment coverage I will bring you candid captures LIVE from the red carpet prescreening of Think Like A Man Too at Regal Atlantic Station in Atlanta.
So, sit back, relax, and enjoy my red carpet captures from the prescreening of Think Like A Man Too!

Well movie-goers it’s nearly summer, and you know what that means… it’s time to kick off the season of blockbusters with one of this summer’s hottest and most anticipated films, “Think Like A Man Too”! The long awaited follow-up to the uber-funny “Think Like A Man”, “Think Like A Man Too” is scheduled to hit theaters nationwide on Friday, June 20. And to celebrate the upcoming premier of this side-splitting sequel, Macy’s teamed up with men’s underwear brand Papi, to bring several of the movies’ cast members to its Lenox Square location for an exclusive meet and greet. Actor/Comedian Kevin Hart, from Ride Along and Laugh at My Pain, and Terrence J, from 40 Year-Old Virgin, were both in-store to talk about the movie and to also mix and mingle with shoppers.
And to add to the excitement of the event, the first 125 customers to make any $35 or more purchase of Papi underwear got to meet both Kevin and Terrence. It was literally ‘standing room only’ as shoppers flooded Macy’s Men’s Department to get a glimpse of the actors. And as expected, both Kevin Hart at Terrence J were in rare form providing many moments of hilarity. I had a wonderful time and could not wait to head over to Regal Cinemas in Atlantic Station for the VIP sneak peek and red carpet event later that evening.
Sony Pictures’ “Think Like A Man Too” hits theaters nationwide on Friday, June 20!

This was one of my favorite looks from last year. I love a casual and stylish outfit in the spring time. Pair that with a top knot, pink lips and a quirky and trendy button up and you have cooked up a simple fashion masterpiece! At least I’d like to think so…you have to admit, that build up gave you so much life!
I found this BCBGeneration top at Macy’s on sale for 50% off last year. I was super excited because it was so quirky and eccentric in a very subtle way. It has tiny dolphins on it with cute sayings that you really have to focus your eye on to catch. The jean texture on the cuffs topped it off to be a perfect match with acid wash jeans. To make it even more casual chic, I put on my signature pink lip and put my hair up in my go to top knot style.
Hey Style Setters,
I’m so excited to share my Fashion Fix Monday Mixup! weekly wrap up. This week’s look was inspired by the Super Bowl XLVIII Champion Seattle Seahawks! I absolutely love Super Bowl season! Fashion AND football… Say no more! And who doesn’t want to look fab while rooting for their fav team!? Rocking chic fashion while not breaking the budget is always a winning combination in my household; after all I have several future linebackers to feed. 😉 So here’s my Super Chic look that I scored for The Big Game.
Dressing sexy increases your confidence, especially on Valentine’s Day. Turning up the heat for your sweetheart starts at the neckline. Do you believe in love at first sight? You just might after trying these looks for a racy Valentine’s he will never forget.
Dress – Black Halo Giovanni Peplum Minidress (Neiman Marcus), Pumps – Dolce Vita ‘Kana’ Pump (Nordstrom), Clutch – Horn Clutch (Vince Camuto)
Rocking your red dress is a science; pick the right shade of red to compliment your eye color, hair style, and skin complexion. Red, black, and white are the most popular accessory colors. To spice things up a bit, combine all three colors to create a trendy elegant look.
Dress – Aidan Mattox Sleeveless Faux Leather Cutout Dress (Bloomingdales), Pumps –Sophia Webster ‘Lyla 1’ High Pump (Nordstrom), Ring – Alexis Bittar ‘Lucite® – Neo Bohemian’ Bean Ring (Nordstrom)
Every woman has to own a proper LBD, aka, little black dress. For a sexy seductive LBD, accent your curves with a form-fitting number. Add a splash of color and make it pop by wearing a gold necklace or a well placed accessory.
Skirt – Topshop ‘Bruised Floral’ Print Tube Skirt (Nordstrom), Top – Torn by Ronny Kobo Top – Delilah Peplum (Bloomingdale’s), Bootie – Ted Baker London ‘Alenk’ Metal Cutout Almond Toe Bootie (Nordstrom); Bangle – Nadri ‘Celtic Knot’ Crystal Bangle (Nordstrom)
An alluring pencil skirt always leads to temptation. For an enticing look, mix gold, red, black, and blush hues. You can do this with accessories or by layering your outfit. If you want to really get sexy, wear a solid color with designs accented in another shade.
Top – Theory Lyalka Overlay Top (Bloomingdales), Necklace – Robert Lee Morris Soho 3-Row Necklace (Bloomingdales), Booties – Jeffrey Campbell ‘Barnes’ Bootie (Nordstrom)
What better what way to tease than with faux leather leggings and a sexy top. This fun and flirty fashion combo is feminine yet frisky. An off-the-shoulder sheer top shows just the right amount of skin while leaving the rest to his imagination.
Lingerie – In Bloom by Jonquil Pleated Chemise & Thong Set (Nordstrom), Perfume – Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet Fragrance (Macys), Lipstick – MAC Retro Matte Lipstick (Macys)
Time to get racy and provocative. Reds and blush tones are the ideal tones for this Valentine “treat”. Seduce him slowly with steamy lingerie to make him melt, compliment the moment with a seductive scent, and make your lips pop with the perfect lipstick. Top off the look with a sexy pair of stilettos to lean out your legs.
So stop by the shops at Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza to find the hautest looks to make his your Valentine’s Day unforgettable!
