Did you enjoy? I hope so! This series was so fun to create and make, and I glad that I got to share it with you all. I truly love fashion and being able to showcase my creativity, and I feel as those this series proved that! So I am going to get into further styling tips for the looks in the water lookbook. Once again there is only one look since all of them are pretty wearable.

This outfit came together so beautifully! All the different tones of blue compliment each other so well! I was really afraid of how it would look, but it ended up looking so nice.
Scenario:
This outfit is great for your summer weekends. It screams beach afternoon to me. 
How To Transform:
A beautiful maxi dress like this is so easy to transition for Fall. Pair the skirt with a blouse, jean jacket, tights, and tall boots to rock this maxi skirt in cooler weather!
I always wanted to try rocking jeans with a pair of heels. I see so many fabulous ladies doing it on social media. I’m not saying that I would rock them every day, but I did feel like an instant Diva in this look! 
Scenario:
This look is a great option for a casual date night. It’s just the right amount of sexy and casual.

How to Transform:
Jeans are so simple to transform. Style them with the oversized top, ugg boots, and a fedora for a hipster weekend look!
I wore this dress for my 24th birthday this year, and it basically describes me in a dress. It is velvet, sequined, and comfortable. You can’t go wrong with a dress like this in my book! 
Scenario:
A dress like this is perfect if you’re the birthday girl! It just screams celebration! 
How to Transform:
This dress is a party dress, but it can be toned down just a bit of you want to be more comfortable. Add a pair of tights, tall black boots, and a moto jacket to create an edgy look with some sparkle! 
So ladies I hope you have enjoyed the element series. Be sure to come right back here Friday for a brand spanking new blogpost. We are getting right back into our scheduled programing!

Special shout out to my two best friends for keeping me laughing and being the greatest people on the planet!! Below you will find further styling tips on each look. This time around I only gave you one styling option since all the looks in this lookbook are pretty wearable! 
 I love this look because of its bold high slit! Who doesn’t like showing a Lil leg? This look was my go-to outfit all summer, so I am pleased that this dress is finally making its NoMinusPlus Debut! 
Scenario:
A casual outfit like this is perfect for any weekend. Whether you are hanging out with friends, attending a family event, or chilling with your boo.
How To Transform:
I actually wore this dress for a night out a couple of weeks ago. I rocked it with a pair of suspender tights, a pair of black booties, and a fabulous purse! This creates a casual look with a pop of sexy! 
 
I used to tell myself that I couldn’t rock yellow because it would make me look muted. Well, I have been lying to myself because this yellow peplum is everything!
Scenario:
This outfit is a great option for Date night. It a pop of color, a little bit of sexy, and super comfortable since I’m wearing flats! 
How to Transform:
Ditch the skirt, and rock this beautiful peplum top with a pair of distressed skinny jeans, a fab pair of heels, and an amazing clutch for a bright and vibrant look perfect for a girls night out!
This outfit made me feel like a BAWSE! I’m not sure what is it about jumpsuits, but they always make me feel like I’m on top of the world! 
Scenario:
An outfit like this is another weekend favorite. You can wear it for a day of shopping, or for spending quality time with the people that you love! 
How To Transform:
Add some color to this black jumpsuit by switching the letterman’s jacket out for a blazer, wearing pumps instead of sneakers, and a clutch to make this jumpsuit great for the workplace or after office drinks!
 
This outfit gives me Bad Sandy from Grease vibes! I felt so cool rocking this look! And I also love that I transformed my red bathing suit into a bodysuit! You gotta be creative with your wardrobe! 
Scenario:
Since Halloween is next Monday, you could def rock this as a Sandy from Grease costume! All you need are pumps, a cigarette, and your best “Tell Me About It Stud” 
How To Transform:
Grab the pants from this and add a striped top, and a bold colored cardigan for a casual look with a pop of color!

Behind the Scenes: Earth

Hello, Darling Divas!

Earth is the second lookbook in the Element series that is happening for the whole month of October! You can click here to check out the first lookbook which was Air! In each of these lookbooks, I am going to break down each look and give you different scenarios and options on how to wear them! If you’re interested in how the behind the scenes lookbook for Air, then click here! Let’s get into the video!

Did you enjoy? I hope so! I hope you all are enjoying the series so far! There are two lookbook’s left, and I am sooo excited for you to see what’s up next!! Let’s get into the breakdown!

I love this fabulous bold look! All the colors paired so well together, and I just knew that this outfit was made for this lookbook! I got this fabulous stole from a boutique called Cashi in Union, and it is honestly one of my fave pieces in my wardrobe!

 Scenario:

                  This outfit is perfect for any winter event like a party or a birthday celebration!

How to Transform:
 You can do a lot with a simple bodycon dress like this one. Remove the shoes and the fur and add a jean jacket and combat boots for a casual look, or rock it with a blazer and dressy flats for a night out or work!

I love everything about this look! Monochromatic is one of my fave fashion trends, so this look just gives me soo much life! I actually rocked this look in Miami this summer, but it rained all day, and I never got a picture so I’m glad it can finally be seen! 
Scenario:
This is a great summer outfit! It’s casual, it’s sexy, and who doesn’t love olive green?
How to Transform:
Remove the shorts and rock the flowy top with jeans, heels, and a clutch for a girls night out! Remove the top and rock the shorts with a striped top nd gladiator sandals for a casual summer look! 

This color is filled with so much fun and colors! I instantly feel adorable whenever I rock a skater dress. The belt and cheetah print shoes add the perfect amount of edge that I love so much! 
Scenario:
A cute casual look like this is perfect for hanging out with family and friends, or for attending classes on campus! 
How to Transform:
Rock this vibrant green dress for Fall with tights, ankle boots, and a cardigan, or with knee high boots and a scarf! Both looks are super comfortable and very fashionable! 
The one thing I want everybody to know about me is that I am OBSESSED with cheetah print! I couldn’t honestly wear it every day if I could! It’s such a bold, fierce print, and describes my style perfectly! 
Scenario:
A bold look like this must be seen, so rock it to an event like a fashion show, or someplace else that requires you to be fabulous! Also a great look for a photoshoot! 
How to transform:
If you want to rock the bold cheetah pants, rock them with a brown sweater, ankle boots, and a fab purse for a look with some attitude! If you want to rock the choker top pair it with a skater skirt and chunky boots for a goth/edgy look!
So, ladies, that’s it for today’s behind the scenes blog post!

Behind the Scenes: Air

Hello, All My Darling Divas!

Happy Friday! I hope you are all ready for the weekend! The first lookbook in the element series dropped this Monday, and I hope you all enjoyed it! If you have no idea what I am talking about, click here to get the scoop!  I, of course, had to come to you with some fun behind the scenes footage! So every Friday for this month you are going to see the making of the Element series you just saw. So since you just witnessed the lookbook for Air, here is the official makings of it! I explain a lot more in the video, so let’s hop in!

Did you enjoy?? I hope so! This series hits home for me because I  love fashion, and this series definitely shows that! I hope you are all excited to see more! So as promised, I am breaking down each look and giving you ideas on what scenario to rock the look, and how to transform it to make it more wearable for everyone if the outfits are a bit too bold.

This fabulous white hot jumpsuit is one of my fave pieces in my wardrobe! I rocked this baby at my college graduation this past May, and I am so thrilled that I get to wear it again!

Scenario: 
An outfit like this can be worn for white party’s in the summer, or a celebration such as a birthday or graduation. White is timeless, and don’t be afraid to break the white after labor day rule. I promise serial mom won’t come after you! 
How to transform:
Since white is a neutral color, you can build more colors on top, or match it with other natural colors to keep it low key. You can make this white jumpsuit more grown and sexy by replacing the chain belt with a skinny black belt, swapping the pointed heels for pumps, and layering a blazer on top to elevate this look into a classy look! The pink clutch adds a pop of color and is perfect for after work drinks! Just proceed with caution because you are rocking white!
This look was honestly my fave from this lookbook! It makes me feel super sexy, and my hips definitely don’t lie in this skirt! I love anything that shows off my curves and makes me look amazing! 

Scenario:
This look is perfect for a club outing. It’s super sexy, comfortable, and will have everybody rushing to buy you a drink! 
How to Transform:
With a bold print like this skirt you want to make it with the star of your look, so I paired it with solid colors. Style it with a beautiful blue peplum, tie up flats, and a clutch for a comfortable dressy look which is perfect for attending a lounge, or an event. If you want to rock it for your weekends, pair it with an oversized black sweater, tights, and some cute booties! 
I am all about comfort, so any chance that  I get to break out my tie up flats I am a happy fashionista! Printed pants can sometimes be a bit scary, but I highly encourage everybody to have a pair in their closet. They are so fun! 
Senario:
A look like this is perfect for a night out with friends, or a date night! They are super comfortable, and great for the office fashionista if your job is buisness casaul. 
How to Transform:
Printed pants can add some spice to your work wardrobe. Pair them with a blue blouse, flats, and grab your briefcase for a chic office look that will keep you comfortable, but trendy, all day. If you have a girls night out, or a hot date, pair it with a flowy purple top for some color, a pair of black strappy heels, and an amazing black envelope clutch!
I love printed pants because they are so comfortable, and versatile! You can dress them up, or dress them down and still look amazing! I don’t really have dress down looks, but I am learning to be more casual, and this is a step in the right direction. 
Senario:
This is a cute look that you can wear to class, or to hang out with friends! Its super laid back, and my opinion a very wearable look! 
How to transform:
If you wanted to add some color you can swap ou the black sneakers for some cute pink ones, a casual oversized tee, and an amazing backpack for a trendy and street look. For my fashionistas out there joggers look great with a tee, denim jacket, and some sexy strappy heels!
 So ladies I hope you have enjoyed the behind the scenes footage, and styling lessons for the Air lookbook. Be sure to come back here on Monday for the second element, and next friday for the next behind the scenes footage! Are you following me on social media?? You should be!

Dia & Co (September) Styling and Try on Video!

Hello, All my Darling Divas!

Happy Friday!!!! I don’t know about you, but I am so ready to get my fabulous weekend started! Today I am following up my Dia September unboxing video, with my styling and try on video! I got some pretty amazing styles this month, and I am excited to show them off to you! I don’t want to ramble on, so let’s get into the video!

Did you enjoy! Everything didn’t fit me well, but if they did nd I had more coin this would have been a full box purchase! I love how all the styles were so different, and that some were pieces I would have never picked for myself. Luna always amazes me!!

Taylor – Alicia Dress – $98.00

Size: 16W 

Keeping: Oh God Yes! 

There was no way that I was sending this back! I love this dress!!! It’s so perfect for fall, and it so my style! I have a banquet coming up in two weeks, and I can’t wait to rock this that night. As far as styling, for the event, I plan to let this dress shine on its own and the only style it with a pair of heels and clutch. But on my casual days, I plan to wear this with a jean jacket, tights, and boots for Fall! 

Junarose – Greta Straight Leg Jeans – $79.00

Size: 18 W

Keeping: No

The pants didn’t fit, so there is no picture, but I still am going to style them! If I were keeping the pants, I would style them casually with an olive green cardi, white turtleneck, and cheetah print flats. And I would also style them with a mustard sweater and funky boots!

Modamix – Kenna Tunic – $79.00

Size: 16W

Keeping: No

Button down tops are hard for bustier girls, and this surprisingly isn’t too bad, I just know I would be wondering all day about that slight gap by my boobs. So because of that, I sent it back. But it was such a beautiful length for a tall gal like me, and olive green is seriously my color! If I were to keep it, I would style it with leggings and boots, or with knee high boots and tights for a sexy look!

Under One Sky – Lucille Crossbody Bag – $36.00

Keeping: No 

 I really wasn’t expecting to think this was cute, but I was pleasantly surprised! I only didn’t keep it because I know I won’t wear it. But it’s nice to get accessories again! If I were keeping it, I would pair it with a simple jeans, uggs, and t-shirt.

 

Swak – Navaeh Tank – $29.99

Size: 1x

Keeping: No

 This tank top was unexpected. I looked at it and did not think I would like it. I tried it on, and it was actually not too bad!! I’m only not keeping it because I don’t have to have it, but it is definitely a nice wardrobe staple. If I were to keep it, I would pair it with jeans, cute heels, and a cropped jacket. I would also layer it over a pencil skirt with pointed flats and a moto jacket!
