THE LIGHTER SIDE OF THINGS

What do you think of this photo? Do you think Beyonce's skin looks too light? That was the controversy over this photo. Could it have been that the photographer provided too much lighting on her upper half and if so should he had provided that much lighting? What's your thoughts and opinions? Much Love & Fashion Fun.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

I love this keyhole red shirt. It can dress up any bottom you might have on hand. This beautiful red shirt can be worn out on a first date with your favorite jeans for a sexy-causal feel. Add bright red pumps to take it up a notch. Or you can make this shirt super sexy with a sparkly skirt and velvet ankle strap pumps. Make eyes smokey and lips kissable to top off both looks. Happy Valentine's Day. All pieces are under $50. Enjoy!

THE GRAMMYS

I'm not big on re-posting photos that every blogger and website has posted but I will this time because I LOVED some of the fashions from the 2012 Grammys.

First up is Rhianna.  Did you know she worked with Giorgio Armani in creating this dress.  I am a huge fan of the super low back.  She pulled this off nicely.  Fabulous!

Second is Giuliana Rancic.  Her black dress was simple but I love the way she amped up the look by adding gold accessories.  This look was very  flattering on her, it gave her some curves.

Third is Gwyneth Paltrow.  Her long black Stella McCartney dress wasn't as revealing as Rhianna's but it was very sexy in a demure yet classic way.

WORK PLACE FUN

I've really been feeling polka dots, especially this dress in cream and black.  Stylelittle from polyvore created this set.  The dress can be worn in a flirty way yet with the right pieces it can be work appropriate.  Not a big fan of the wedge bootie but I love how the bright teal bag brings color to this look.  Much Love & Fashion Fun.

SWEET TOOTH-BERRIES & YOGURT

I haven't been craving sweets recently, one of the many benefits of fasting.  And anyone who knows me knows how much I LOVE sweets, especially chocolate.  But since I've been on a quest to lose weight (2012-The Year of the Baby) I'm trying to find other alternatives to sooth my sweet tooth.  My husband and I recently seen a desert recipe that involved fresh fruit and yogurt.  We tried our own version and it was soooo good I wanted to share it with you.

You only need four ingredients, many of which you probably already have.
*Blue Berries
*Strawberries
*Greek Yogurt
*Honey

Start off with 1 1/2 cups greek yogurt and 1 table spoon honey.  Mix both together.  I mixed according to taste.  Put berries in a (pretty) glass/bowl and then layer with the yogurt mix.  I did two layers. You can substitute the fruit for whatever your heart desires.  Eat immediately or chill in the fridge for later.  I hope this will satisfy your sweet tooth like it did mine.  Total cost of this decadent desert $5-8 (depending on where you buy the ingredients).  Enjoy!

WHITE TEE & JEANS

The white tee & jeans doesn't have to be boring. For a causal outing add some personality to your look by adding a cognac colored bag, gold hoops and a hat. For a dressier feel add heels and a bright color blazer. Gold hoops and cuff will always add elegance to the look.  Both looks are clean and fresh. You can always add more to each look such as belts, necklaces, bigger earrings, etc.  Much Love & Fashion Fun.

ONE DRESS TWO WAYS

I love this dress. This is the type of dress you can get mileage out of. It can be worn to work, out to dinner, to church, and to brunch. The colors and fabric will make you looked pulled together even when it's dressed down. Look for a versatile dress like this to add to your wardrobe. Go for the best quality you can afford. This dress is only $48 from Topshop. This would be a great Friday look that can carry you from the office to dinner with friends. Tell me your thoughts and opinions. Much Love & Fashion Fun.

THE BASICS

I recently was looking through my closet for something to wear. I soon realized a lot of my core basics have diminished. My blazers are out dated, my jeans need repairing, and I no longer have a LBD. I have put together a list of items I feel all women should always have on hand, the basics. These items will carry you through. You can always add the trend of the moment to your basic pieces to give yourself a new look. I will go into detail about that soon. All items I have listed are under $50. Much Love & Fashion Fun.
