The $20 Jumpsuit

I'm an advocate for mixing high and low pieces.  I've been trying focus on buying more quality pieces  for my wardrobe this fall but these low price point stores keep calling me!  And then my girl Danielle from The Style and Beauty Doctor posted this $20 jumpsuit.  I straight swagger-jacked her and ran out an purchased this jumpsuit IMMEDIATELY! Seriously, on my lunch break! 

September Issue Fashion Inspiration

This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group®, InStyle, Vogue and Elle, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #inspirefallfashion  http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

September is the month of fashion finals.  New York Fashion Week is going on and the September mags hit the stands.  In late July, I start to fiend for the September issues.  September issues provide so much inspiration for the upcoming fall and winter season.  If I miss the September issues, I won't be ready for fall.  After studying my September issues of InStyle, Vogue and Elle Magazine, I was inspired to put together this fall look.

Mamanista Fridays: Booties

I always rush season changes, especially fall because it's my fave!  I'm so ready for fall I don't know what to do! I almost feel like staying in the house until it's 60 degrees out.  I'm tired of my wearing tank tops and painting my to nails.  I just want to wear boots and cute jackets.  Mama Fashion Files and I thought it would be great to incorporate some transitional pieces for Mamanista Fridays.  We pulled out our booties, a fall must have!

Mamanista Fridays: Neon

Happy Mamanista Friday!  Another hectic week for me.  I think it reflects in my casual outfit for this weeks Mamanista Friday.  This week, Aracely and I are wearing Neon.

Happy Mamanista Friday!  The weekend couldn't come soon enough.  Unfortunately, I have an action packed weekend, so I'm looking forward to next weekend already.  This week for Mamanista Fridays, Mama Fashion Files and I are wearing peplum.  

Summertime LBD

Last night I went to the Beyonce and Jay Z concert.  It was more than I could have ever dreamed of!  I'll share more about the concert soon.  Right now I can barely keep my eyes open but I wanted to share a LBD (little black dress) I wore to the Adorn Media Group roof top launch party last Saturday.

Mamanista Fridays Link-up: Maxi Dress

Happy Mamanista Friday!  Today is Mister's Birthday!  His big party is tonight!  I feel like I've planned a second wedding.  I know it's going to be fabulous and can't wait for it all to go down.  I will share dets next week.  This week for Mamanista Friday, Mama Fashion Files and I are wearing maxi dresses.

Mamanista Fridays Link-up: Graphic Tee

Mamanista Fridays Link-Up: Shorts

Welcome back to Mamanista Friday!  I'm so ready for the weekend just so I can sit still.  I don't have any plans (unless I forgot to put something on my calendar) and want to keep it that way.  This week, Aracely from Mama Fashion Files and I styled shorts for Mamanista Fridays.  It's almost summer and shorts season is here! 

Mamanista Fridays Link-up: Navy, the new Black

Happy Mamanista Friday!  Navy has taken over my wardrobe.  I didn't realize I had so much navy until I was putting my outfits together for Mom 2.0.  It was all navy everything!  This week, Aracely from Mama Fashion Files and I are sharing how we rock navy.  Use the link-up below to share how you rock navy.

All White Before Memorial Day

I used to stick by the rule, you can't wear white until after Labor Day.  For the last few years, I've been sneaking in a little white here and there.  I was getting my Olivia Pope on when I wore an all white pant suit to a party for Mom 2.0 last week.  Speaking of Olivia Pope, did you know Kerri Washington had her baby 2 weeks ago?  Straight B6-13 style.

If you follow me on Instagram, you would've gotten a sneak peek at what I wore to LuckyFabb in LA.  Dressing for a conference can be a little stressful, especially a fashion conference.  Instead of trying to do something crazy and out of the norm, I decided to wear something that would be comfortable and flattering with some super cute shoes.

Best of the Fest with ModCloth
