Red Hot Leather Jacket

Hello my dears,

I have again failed on my commitment to post every day this week. But I have kept to my work out schedule so I have achieved some balance:) Today I want to share with you one of my passions: leather jackets. There is something about leather jackets that makes my knees wobbly and my heart rate higher. They are simply sexy. This leather jacket is made of patent red leather and it was stiffer when I bought it. It looks better with wear and it gets softer and softer with natural whiskers at the sleeves. It is not as shiny and glossy as in the beginning and the red color looks deeper and richer. The shine is achieved by treating the leather with Varnish, oils and synthetic resins. A lot of people confuse them with faux leather jackets. Faux leather jackets are fine if you want to be with the trend but if you want something that will last for a long time and get better with age, go for genuine leather.

What is that single item you are really passionate about?

I hope you had the chance to enter my GIVEAWAY. If not, you can find more information at the end of the post. Good Luck and till then, style it up!

Magenta Jeans - Style # 1

Hello Everyone,
This past weekend I paid a visit to Target hoping I would snatch a piece or two from Jason Wu's collection. I had some luck but that is coming in another post. As expected, I left the store with two more items I did not plan to buy - a pair of magenta jeans and a mustard skinny belt. The jeans are made of thin denim fabric with whiskers at the front. Although I prefer heavier denim because it provides a better coverage for those leg dimples, I like this pair as well. The brand is Mossimo - another Target - designer collaboration but on more permanent basis. For now, I think I am getting good value for my money.

Today I am also starting my work out routine with my hubby. I am so excited as I finally convinced him to JOIN the gym and he had to convince me to GO to the gym and use the membership I already have. When I go to the gym, I want to know how much for how long I need to do each exercise.I don't want to have to think about it because I end up watching TV or other people and I look surprised when after 30 days of work out I see no results. I am doing the third routine on this link:

I will keep you posted on my progress. Maybe I will even show before and after pictures if successful :)

PENCIL HEEL

Hello lovely ladies,

I am so happy that pencil stilettos have returned. I love clothes, shoes and accessories that flatter woman's femininity and shape and I believe that pencil heels do that more than any other type of shoe. I am so happy that ALDO came with their version, called Westberry, in black and red suede. They are 5.25 inches high but without the platform they are about 4 inches. Although they are the most expensive pair of shoes I own, they are still affordable compared to Calvin Klein, Christian Louboutin, and Giuseppe Zanotti.  I can't wait to share the rest of the outfit with you. Till next time, style it up

This past weekend was the wedding celebration of one of my friends - Nicole. Weddings give me the chance to have fun, be emotional and be fashionable all at the same time.This wedding was not an exception.

Don't you love this color?

And here is the final part of the photo shoot with Taneisha with PhotographyWithTK.com. I will miss the talented photographers, the professional directing and the superb editing of the photos. I am wearing a satin pencil dress from Karen Millen, whose dresses always have perfect tailoring. Did you know she comes up with 8 collections a year? For her current collection, I love the limited edition studded totes. I think I love everything studded these days:)
