I KNOW YOU CARE Yonce` fashion!

I have been completely obsessed with Beyonce for the past 18 or so years, which means we are practically sisters. With all the concerts I have attended and all of the souvenir booths I walked past, I never had the desire to purchase any of the products with Beyonce’s face plastered on it. Recently, everything about Beyonce has been a catchphrase, hashtag, or a trend. From “Surfboard” to “Flawless” and everything in between, Beyonce is #Winning, I mean #Trending (Sorry stan moment). In addition to the merchandise you can purchase directly from Beyonce.com, it seems that many other vendors, stores, and companies are jumping on the Beyonce trend train.

Etsy.com “Feyonce” mugs are a great gift for newly engaged couples. Although rumor has it that Beyonce's lawyers threatened the company for using her name.

NAACP Image Awards Fashion

The 46th NAACP Image Awards was held last Friday February 6. Usually with red carpet events a Best and Worst dressed list is used. I searched through the NAACP Image Awards pictures and I noticed that everyone looked great! Maybe I am being biased but my people showed up and showed out. The nakedness and crazy costumes were replaced with grace, poise, and elegance. The women were serving and the mens suits were tailored for the gawds. David Oyelowo, Taraji P. Henson, Beyonce, and Iyanla Vanzant, were just a few of the Image Award winners for the night. Below are some of my fashion favorites that stuck out to me. Comment below if you think that someone else fashion was a “fav” of the night.

Fall 2014 Look Book

Style and Comfort
 
Look #1 Black is the New Black
 
A girl has to stock up on the basics this Fall. My favorite basics are a leather jacket, graphic tees, boots, and comfortable jeans. The best part about this outfit is versatility. Rock your leather jacket on the cool Fall days.  You can remove it to show off your graphic tee on those early Fall days when temperatures get a little warm.

Look #2 The Sweater dress
 
This look is for those days when you are in the mood to channel your Girly side, but don’t want to freeze! A great solution is a sweater dress. They are easy to style and you can be cute, warm, and comfy all at once. Throw on a pair of boots or booties, maybe a pair of tights on those really cool days.

Look #3 Skirty Flirty
 
While you have your boots and tights out why not go ahead and rock a skirt. This Fall it is all about asymmetric and wrap skirts. Many come in unique shapes and some even come with shorts! Gotta love a skort.

Look #4 Fit Chix
 
Just because Summer is over and our bikini days came to an end, does not mean that we should’nt continue to exercise and stay fit. This will keep us in shape and decrease the work load for next summer. When you have a busy day ahead of you, rocking your active gear makes it easy to fit some workout time in before, after or in between.
