EarMuff Swagg!!

So ummmm yeah I had this coat on for 3 days... I love it!
...and this is a WHOLE J.Crew outfit... dress, stockings, socks, boots and coats! wow!

......

After 10 years I realized I was still doing the same pose from high school...
that classic Western pose #DoveLove
the only thing different is my hair!
......

J. Crew chillin... Looks like I just threw on a bunch of clothes and left the house...





Somehow it all works! ... I just realized how much I loved this sweater! ... I wanted to wear it everyday after this day.
With this look I started with the shirt... then the jeans, next the shoes and I toped it off with the sweater... I tried on so many other options before this collage kinda fell in my lap. 

OUTFIT: Sweater/Shirt/Necklace J.Crew, Pants B.P., Shoes Sam Edelman
......

New haircut flow!

#Chartreuse Chillin... thing is this stuff is old and still very relevent. *shrugs*

OUTFIT: UO scarf, J.Crew Sweatshirt/Socks, F21 Sweater, Paige Denim, Michael Kors Boots

#ArmParty

 BRACELETS: J. Crew, BCBG, Bloomingdales
......

At Toby's Dinner theater with the bestie... it was cute but very confusing... the songs didn't tell a story, therefore you didn't understand from one scene to the next.

Drink named after me! Ke Ke Colada!

This is always our car scenario... she is always on the phone! #bored

......
Later that night... hanging out with the boo's!


My lil sis Niya!

@iluvtylerwells and I #armparty #armcandy #armswagg

OUTFIT: Zara Kaftan, Aqua Shirt, UO Cords, BCBG Belt
......

...and the next day at work...
legs up...
 armParty flow!
 ...these over the knee socks send me! But I didn't pull them all the way up... I think that would have been to much for the corporate world. 

ACCESSORIES: BCBG, J.Crew, Michael Kors (bracelets), Nordstrom Socks, DKNY Tights, BCBG Shoes
......

I ab-so-lute-ly LOVE corduroys!!! 
Blazer: Zara, Shirt/belt (tie): J. Crew, Cords Arden B. 

Yup my pockets have designs on them... and the stitching matches my blazer! 
Old school coordination flow... lol!

I love bowties!!!! and this belt around my neck gave me the perfect tie accessory to complete my look!

" I didn't know what I wanted to be, but I knew I wanted to be the kind of woman who was bold, took chances, and had adventures. I wanted to travel around the world. It was my little-girl dream" ...Shay Youngblood, Black Girl In Paris
The title of that book is going to make since in two months! ;-)


To me it's all about the DETAILS... that the most important part of styling... it's the little things that make a big difference.
I'm a stickler for buttons, colors, stitching, lengths, patterns, layers... the intricate simplicity of it all excites me!
The details of my life are so complex... I mix and match... I'm always doing something different with my looks... you can't categorize me. The only thing you know for sure, no questions asked, beyond a shadow of a doubt ... I will always look FRESH! 
I take tremendous pride in looking nice, they pictures don't do my 'fits any justice... they look waaaaaaaay better in person!

iStyle... Winter A Season of LOVE!

Instagram 'CaliCutie'

I love this hat! It's probably one of the best Winter accessories I own.
And I own a lot... but the thing is, this hat is so heavy on my little head! 
I brought this hat from an online boutique years ago... you could choose your color and size... it took a full 6 weeks (just as long as my customize LV bag) ... thanks yoko! 

.....

For all my IG'ers... January they started doing picture of the day. Well... this day it was a photo of your favorite blog site... I was wondering if any of my "FRIENDS" who were participating in the POTD were going to post iStyleLikeMe... none of them did. Buuuuut my Qutie Q saw someone did post my site! Awwwww...

Everyone Meet 'Dream_Chaser_' she posted my site as one of her daily blogs! 
Thanks hun! I appreciate the support... these are 3 great sites (I'm honored to be viewed along side of them) as I visit them often also! *wink*
Much LOVE! xo

.....

On my way to Job #2!


.....

Work Flow: I was Ves'ted!

.....


I received this picture and the text read: 
'Orange Stuff = Keee!!!!'
I adore him because he thinks of me... it's the little things! 

.....

I love colored pants... these are my favs!
Older white guy at work going to say 'are those bell bottoms... wow I haven't see bell bottoms in years' 
ummmm sir NO! these are not bell bottoms.. they are a full leg with a slight flare. Hmph! 

...I own coats! I only break them out when it is ab-so-lute-ly necessary! Thanks!
I have more coats than a little bit, but I am not a big fan of them... I never seem to have the right one I need to top off my look. And that's because none of my looks need the help of a coat... sometimes it hinders it's affects! 

Later that night...
Excuse me as I look crazy on these next couple of pictures... 
My outfit was cute and in theory but it didn't come across as cute in these pictures since I wasn't posed properly. :-/

Anyway... Sheri and I headed to the Next Level Nation web launch party.
go to NextLevelNation.com to get more information on how this organization is inspiring our youth.



The Men of Next Level! 

Next Level's own Director of Public Relations Mark Johnson Jr. 

The Homie Anthony... Director of something ... lol I can't remember, it's late! 

My Favorite!
We got kicked out of the Sunbeams.. so we decided to annoy them and take a bunch of pictures! 

Soon to be Dr. Rev Mark Johnson Jr... He's about to be the next big powerful inspiration to come out of the city of Baltimore! Watch! 

My Boo Thang!

Ri and her Boo Thang!

I love to see positivity in our community... and black men at that! 
I wish you guys (NLN) much success! 
I'm throwing up my 'L's' up for y'all!

.....

Next day in the mall...
...me in my purple lips and the stores were decorated with Love!
Awwww I love Valentines day... I haven't had a Valentines in a while but this holiday is still one of my favorites... it's filled with LOVE, Sweets, Hearts, Bows, Jewelry and just pure Happiness! 
What more could a girl ask for?!
