Rachel Roy is a bad girl!! She marked on the 10th anniversary of her label, giving us more tailored styles and less of her usual relaxed pieces. Roy said, “I designed what I wanted and needed and what I thought would work.” I’m loving the way she mixed materials, with graphic prints and presented it with exquisite charm. So many amazing looks. Enjoy the collection!

Roberto Cavalli’s Pre-Fall 2014 Collection combined animal prints, jacquards, brocades, and fur in an opulent yet not over-the-top way. For the most part, I had traded in my animal prints for a while because everyone else was all over that look, and TenaciousM is a leader, not a follower. I’m happy to see a more refined approach to the fabrics this year. I’m also feeling the embellished jewelry, shoes, and bags completing the looks. Enjoy!
I am excited about some of the designer clothes being shown for 2014. My affection for animal prints, ethnic and multicultural influences remains predominant, and I am happy to see the look evolve in such a sleek, understated chic manner. A true Parisian powerhouse, Balmain was founded many years ago by couturier Pierre Balmain, and was kick-started back into fashion-prominence in 2005 by the valiant Christophe Decarnin. Now with Olivier Rousteing at the helm as Creative Director, the label continues to deliver decadent rock-inflected glamour with ultra sexy, severe and distinctive collections for both women and men. I really like the styling of the garments which gives me ideas to reinvent items already in my closet.
Our love for Olivier Rousteing only deepens with the launch of his Pre-Fall 2014 collection. His aim was to push the idea that his brand is for women of different cultures, ethnicities, and price ranges.
The result was a sort of safari-meets-hip-hop aesthetic, which pulled inspiration from Peter Beard’s photography of Iman in Africa, back in her early modeling days. We can definitely see his muse Rihanna rocking the little miniskirts. Enjoy!

I love this dress from “Long Tall Sally” and it is on sale! In fact, I recommend the store for tall women who are looking for clothes that make a statement. The fabrics are good quality and current for enhancing your bold fashion sense.
DESCRIPTION""
* Bodycon styling with cleverly cut panelled sides for a flattering fit. The scuba style fabric gently sculpts a sleeker, slimmer silhouette. Complementing curves in all the right places.
*Style note:*
This tall ladies dress is the epitome of understated glamour. From the rich texture of the gold toned hue to the elegant shift shape, this show stopping style is guaranteed to turn heads.
Here are the shoes I will pair with it!
I am reflecting on the occasions when I have been told to “tone it down” or edit the flash. Why? What is wrong with my big color and glamour? I think that the most important feature in anyone is authenticity. So, why should I dim my candle to make others comfortable with me? If God wanted me to be meek and unimposing, I figure He would have rethought the six foot tall height and instinctive desire to make everything around me bold and beautiful. The holidays give me a great opportunity to decorate my world from hearth to heart! Love, love, love the parties and chances to shower the people I love with gifts and gratitude. I am so very fortunate to belong to the amazing family and friends of mine. As for my gift from them… I am cool with the unconditional love that I receive throughout the year just for being me!
STEPPING OUT LIKE A DIVA… A good lipstick is like a good friend. It’s there when you need it, it’s always good for a confidence boost, and when you find a great one, you want to keep expanding your circle. Which is why you’re going to love this roundup of the newest lipsticks that are hitting shelves now. With formulas and colors this sumptuous and luxurious, you’re going to need a bigger makeup bag for the holidays and all year.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my vertically changed sistahs, too. But for the “Gambs Galore” women like myself, get with Long Elegant Legs! They are fashion forward especially for jeans, pants and leggings. Celebrate your fierceness!
