    Bloggers and Fashion Professionals Event

    I attended a blogger and fashion event in DC hosted by Akiyni Ragwar of F.I.T.S. on me earlier this month. Prizes were passed out, items were bought, tips and ideas were spread around by the panelist. Also there was a style challenge where yours truly model one of the holiday event wear courtesy of the stylists Kesha of Styled by Kesha and Lakithia looks for the holiday season.

    Some of the highlights

    Thi$ or $$That$

    Two similar products, with different prices. Would you buy this or that?

    Leather Biker Jacket

      H&M                                                                      Topshop
    $60                                                                         $116
    The price of the Topshop Jacket is almost double the price of the H&M
                                                              
    Featured are two leather jackets with different personalities. H&M is a bit extravagant: quilted decor, snap buttons and zippers galore, while Topshop is more reserved with its sleek and minimal look. The only boldness it possess is the zippers asymmetrical position. While the jacket is minimal, it has the benefit of wearing it with almost anything- casual, with a dress, weekend, etc. H&M’s jacket, on the other hand, may look best when worn casual.

    Which one would you purchase?

    All I want for Christmas is…

    Can you believe Christmas is about three months away? I can’t either. We might as well prepare for the big day, right?! Now, one thing I want for Christmas are a pair of Bow Pumps by Aminah Abdul Jillil.

    Oh man, I’ve been eyeing these shoes for a long time.
    They’re $215.00 but, I wonder how much should I save per month to purchase those babies until at least a week before Christmas Day. Well using division:

    Months until Christmas: 3
    Price: $215.00
    Save per month: $215.00/3 months = $71.67

    Button Up

    When the word dress shirt comes to mind, you might be thinking 9-to-5, right? Well Not only you can wear it in the workplace, but you can wear it for eveningwear and on weekends.

    Whether it’s hanging out with your girlfriends or for a date, soften up with a sheer blouse tucked into pants or skirt. Wear a black or nude bralette to make it more feminine. Make sure the blouse is fitted, but not too tight to the body.

    Eveningwear

    Weekends are all about relaxing. Try wearing a pattern top, half tucked into some jeans and finish it off with flats.
