Transformation Tuesdays: 2009 to 2014

Transformation Tuesdays!  I often wonder if celebrities look back on their past red carpet looks and feel regret or relief.  Some outfits are timeless and others need to be put in a time capsule.  The best way to see timeless fashion is to look at something from a few years back and see if it is something you would wear today.  Check out this gallery of transformations from 2009 to 2014.  Can you see yourself wearing the 2014 fashion in 5 years?

Like Fine Wine: Solange Edition

I mean… Beyonce is cool and all BUT everyone knows the real fashion icon and style holder begins and ends with Solange Knowles.  This is Solange a little over 2 years ago.  Loved her then, love her more now!  In honor of Throw Back Thursday, let’s look at Solange getting better with time, like FINE WINE!

This spring and summer you will see a continuation of the wide leg (or Palazzo) pants trend. From tribal to floral, the Palazzo pant is the best piece for an easy day to night transition.  Pair them with flat sandals or dress them up with heels and a crop top.  Want the look?  Check out some options below!

H&M Conscious Exclusive Collection

20140409-103520.jpg

H&M is releasing their “Conscious Exclusive Collection” tomorrow and it is amazing! The higher end of this collection was so well executed.  Some of the pieces look more like art than clothing!  The entire collection is right on trend the the embroidered pieces to the wide-leg pants.  It definitely isn’t the typical H&M price point, but with the “more sustainable fashion” tag line, you can understand why. Prices range from $12.49 to $549. Check out some of my must haves from this collection!

Stylecons at the In Her Shoes event

Gosh! *insert lovestruck face here* there were sooo many beautiful women at the In Her Shoes event yesterday. I was literally walking around looking at every single woman. Everyone had a different style. I saw so many that I thought looked amazing, but I foolishly only stopped a few. Check out my stylecons from the event!

What I loved: I saw these 2 beauties laughing it up and I instantly stopped them and asked for a picture.  I was so drawn to their style.  I love the tee shirt worn by Toni(on the right) of Haus of Swag (@hausofswag on instagram). The skirt is a custom piece made by Mlambo Designs (@MlamboDesigns on instagram). To the left is Gia from Curly Girl Collective (@Curlygirlcollective).  I love her very vintage look.  I put together an entire story about her life in my head based on her outfit.  Head to Toe, she was completely FABULOUS!

I noticed this woman from the moment she walked in.  ALL DAT HAIR! PERFECTION!  I loved the one-piece.  It fit her perfectly.

This look had to be my favorite.  I would’ve skinned her and wore her to my next event if I could.

Wide-leg, printed pants are very much on trend this season.  I picked this entire outfit out from one of my favorite sites, Boohoo.com  Naturally, the pants are extremely long on me so I had to pair them with my highest heels.  This look is very bohemian and comfortable.  Get the details below!

I have always been inspired by men’s wear. In my mind, I knew exactly how I wanted to execute my look. Then I googled it and found a picture of my mental vision. I chose this look because I feel like people always default to a mini dress when they’re told to “dress to impress”.
