Met Gala 2018 Fashion Picks

So I love met gala and picking my top fashion picks. I do it every year. But this year it was hard because finally mostly everyone was on point for the the theme.Last year's theme was a hot mess. This year's #MetGala theme was "Heavenly Bodies", Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.” Its inspiration is religious art in the museum’s holding it self. It's a fundraiser where celebrities who are selected attend at a cost of 30k to pretty much mingle and party. But the designer's are the ones who get to show off their designs. I'm impressed this year

SPRING & SUMMER 2018 FASHION TRENDS

Spring is near. I can't wait for the freedom to wear bright colors and booty shorts. Just kidding, maybe. Lets face it, we women love spring and summer fashion and so does the clothing departments . Sale after sale just to rack up on new goodies. Each year there's a trend in the fashion world. We girls love looking in magazine's and Pinterest for inspiration. I narrowed down a few fashion trends for you. I collected from Elle, Harper's Bazar, Marie Claire and etc. I picked the most bearable fashion that you can wear on a day to day basics.  Truthful some fashion trends are only meant for the runway. Let's dive on in.

This was on some of the fashion trends of 2018 surprisingly, 2nd year in a row. I love pastel personally.  It's nice to see designers are using this as a inspiration more and not just for Easter. 😂

Latex is a big fashion trend popping up more heavily in the stores at your local mall. From skirts to dresses. It's sexy and a go to for a statement. 

Taking it back we are? Some glasses you may thought were out of style 10 years ago are now heavily being sold everywhere.  Funky 90s sunglasses are back. Rack up a few pair ladies before the price goes up

Each year Pantone color institute picks a color of the year. It's something designers always use as a go to when creating their collections. Last year in 2017 was greenery. Each year you will see heavily that color on the runway. This year 2018 is Ultra Purple. I have saw celebrities shining in this color since the end of last year. Ladies this purple is bold and strong. 

This must be my favorite. Transparent shoes and purses are so dope to me. It's a trend heavily amongst celebrities and just typical fashion. It's easy to pair with anything because it's clear.

Denim will always and forever be in style.  Played out, no way. Everyone has denim and it makes a great statement when paired on top of one another. But it's all about getting the colors of the denim to go together.

   

Sequin has always been known as fancy normallly on ball gowns. It is becoming very popular as far as tops and pieces. I even own a pair of sequin shorts from forever 21.

You're Not Invited (Fashion Trends To Keep In 2017)

Hey there you'll.  With only 4 more days left in 2017 I am reflecting back on the fashion this year.  Normally how fashion statements begin is a celebrity making it popular. Let's be real,  Monkey See,  Monkey Do is how I look at fashion. But just because our favorite celebrities wear it, that doesn't mean its a good look for everyday wear.  Now darling I'm not Anna Wintour but I do know there are some fashion / beauty trends of 2017 I would like to not invite into the new year.  Let's begin.

No Bra/ See Through

This was the year the twins were on display. I do love a nice cleavage moment when it comes to my fashion.  When the titties are just there looking back at you like 👁👁, now I think we're taking it too far. Rihanna pulled it off best and first and now I'm seeing chicks at target with no bra,  see through top,  and titties staring at me,  or the floor.  Can we leave this trend here in the year of 2017. Let's keep men imaging what we look like under our clothes, not give them a free show.

  Man Bun

Maybe it's just me on this one.  This year women were drooling over this new trend of men wearing buns.  Apparently this is the top style on the barbers list, but not for me.  I hate the style. The dutch braids, shaved sides,  all awful.  I think a good looking man can for sure pull it off.  The look doesn't make my panties wet,  only dry.  It takes away the masculinity in a man.  

Track Suits With Heels 

I blame Kim Kardashian for this one.  Her style use to be so fabulous.  This trend of taking track suits,  with heels and a fabulous fur has to stay behind.  The pairing of a Adidas tracksuit, heels, and a fur is straight tacky to me.  I haven't seen this style rocked on the streets thankfully. So far the celebrities are owning this trend and I hope they retire it. 

These are my picks I don't prefer.  Everyone has a opinion.  You may like vanilla ice cream,  I prefer strawberry. Enjoy and share your 2017 fashion trends you would like to leave behind.

Do you think it's true that everyone has a soulmate?  You know that person no matter what path you both take in life, the feelings always stay.  The person who knew you,  understood you,  and made you feel complete. 

But

It just wasn't the right time. You love them,  they love you but right then at that moment it just wasn't the right time for you two to be together.

You both or one of you could not be particularly ready to settle down.  You know that this person is the one for you but it just won't work out. Maybe both of you want different things in life.

The most devastating feeling is to have to love someone from a distance. Knowing you can't be together when all you want is them.  I believe the pain comes heavy having to watch them move on.  Never the right time is it?

People sometimes meet at the wrong time in life.  You may be in college or working on your career goals and they have their own thing going. Or you may be in a whole relationship with someone else and here he comes.  Messing up what you thought, was a good thing.

It's easy to say well if you love the person go be with them.  Easier said than done.
But real life shit happens.  Love has detours.  Sometimes you can get through it,  but sometimes you have to go another path. Get it!

My 2017 Fall Fashion Favorites

I am a fall baby.  Born September 28 the fall weather is my go to season.  But sadly here in Georgia I haven't got my fall weather as of yet.  It is hotter than a under boob down here.  Ha!  No really it is 80° in October. Anyways,  let's get to the point. 

So my favorite fall favorites are velvet pieces, thigh high boots and over size sweaters. 

__________________________

High To The Thigh 

(H&M) 

These H&M boots are hot. Normally with fall weather the weather is not too cold, and not too hot.  So pairing these with some mini shorts, can really give a sexy,  Bada$$ look.

Velvet Baby 

(Altuzarra) 

Velvet is such a throw back fabric but so sexy and sophisticated.  Pairing a top and bottom is a dope fall favorite for me as well.  Trust me with velvet, it is definitely a eye catcher,  and is very popular right now in the fashion world. The top fashion stores at your local mall I am sure has a display in the window.

The over size Sweater 

(Fabshopper) 

The over size sweater look can be worn so many ways.  This is something I sm loving to sew this fall.  Pairing a over size sweater with a nice fitted pant.  If you are going out pair it with a heel,  or heading out to run errands pair it with a flat. 

Rihanna is always on top of what's hot in fashion.  Here she is pairing a over suze sweater with a heel.  

What are your fall favorites? 

Charisma "What's Good Sis? "

There are some of us who have a personality that just attracts people. I always say being real is what makes a person authentic and unique. When you just let your hair down and be yourself that will attract so many opportunities and of course "MEN".

I understand that some men are attracted to a fat ass and that's all.  So those raisin brains aka small minded men don't count in this conversation.  Let me spill the tea. Truthfully girls,  the reason a lot of you aren't getting any play from men is not because of your looks,  but because you're just boring,  dull and lack sauce.

A lot of women think they are to good to even start a conversation with a man by saying hello.  It's that stuck up attitude that is driving men away.
I had a conversation with a guy I know. He opened up to me that he likes women who are funny, has personality, and spunk.  He struggled dating because chicks he met were so bad on the outside, but couldn't hold a conversation like glue holds eyelashes. But he met his wife and she was just so down to earth they were inseparable.  Her looks were a bonus.

Having charisma is a gift in itself. Being able to charm, influence, and attract people is just something you got,  or you don't. It's not something you buy on ebay. Confidence plays a big part in it. Knowing who you are, and actually liking those things about yourself makes you secure in your self. How you walk, talk, and interact with men will will play a big part in that.

Also your stand-off attitude makes men not even want to approach you.  If you see a guy smile at you, a nice quick smile back won't kill you.  That's just a guys way of saying hello from a distance. A lot of girls think that every guy who speaks is trying to holla.

Calm down sis.........

So working on communication skills and confidence helps with shyness.  Trust me I am the girl who attracts men just from my personality. Men I have dated have always said how great my personality is.  I am just always myself. Whether they think I'm weird, talkative, you can't knock realness. Also dating, and talking to men is the only way to help that.  Bad attitude will keep your ass lonely sis.  So simmer down,  humble yourself and let your guard down.
