Chic Style Gardenia by Gardenia Coleccion now on The Haute Report!!!! 

When Ruben first called and asked if I would like to come over to his house and check out his Gardenia Coleccion that he's in the process of launching… Let me tell you... I had no idea that I would walk into - 

BOOM! BAM! CHIC is HAUTE!!! 

In love with statement pieces? How about statement pieces that you can accessorize with your everyday wardrobe? 

Gardenia Coleccion, named after Rubens grandmother - who he remembers as a child -always seeing her dazzled in beautiful accessories and jewelry that made a statement, making it unforgettable. In memory of his grandmother, comes the line of- The Bold & Beautiful statement pieces for your everyday Woman. 

Chic. Style. Gardenia. 

OMG!!! Where do I begin!?!! 

For starters, the handbags and necklaces are HAUTE!!! Yes, one word… HA! 

The color palettes are right on time for the Season and a match made for bold accessories and small handbags… 

Especially, if you're someone like myself - who likes to keep it simple and chic but with a little twist… The Yellow and Blue transparency clutches with an old jelly sandal vibe - too Haute not to have!!! Don't want all your belongings seen through your pocketbook? 

No problem! Each one comes with another little bag tucked inside that you can either keep or remove for other uses you may have… 

Maybe an extra make-up bag…

Enough of just eye-balling and gawking over the Coleccion. Let's get a closer look into Chic Style Gardenia on our persons... LOL!!! 

I mean every girl wants to be a model, right? 

Or maybe not… (shrugs…)

The circle & squared wood shaped bracelets in Pink and Yellow are bangers!!! The kind of armcandy that can easily mix with your everyday Chic Style. 

I'm actually wearing a thermal shirt and it still looks Haute on my wrist... Awwww, pretty in pink… LOL! 

What a Girl Wants!!!! 

Ummm, a handbag that stands out in crowds and represents!!!! 

From the old vintage look, the animal-like print throughout the design, the lady in chic, a woman's bff (her heels), the butterfly… I can go on and on about this little treasure… It literally spoke to my heart… but seriously… (smile).

On Chic Street, you could rock your favorite denim with a t-shirt, tank, blouse or sweater paired with a heel, sandal or loafer and let the bag speak for itself… 

The rings are also bold, fun and edgy. 

Take the black frog or the hamsa-like or any of the other oversized rings to add more BANG to your Chic Style. 

One can never have "too" many accessories… Okay, maybe you can but not really… I mean if you don't wear it all at once… HA! 

 

How about the necklace that needs no introduction and introduces itself!?! 

The detailing is impeccable with woven threads, beads and gold accents… 

Can't get enough of the quilted shoulder bags with gold chain and accents!?!?!!! Of course not!!! They're more than just adorable! 

 A classic look that's always Chic, Stylish and well, you know, Haute!!!

 

Black & Gold Cube bracelet… 

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! 

Although, I could never figure it out as a kid and I probably still wouldn't be able to figure it out today, for the lack of patience… LOL!!! 

So, the fact that someone actually punched a whole in that thing and made it a bracelet is - AWESOME!!! 

This bracelet was EVERYTHING!!! 

The shape, the unique detailing and the statement being made here… 

Can you say, "Fly Chic to Def!?!?!!!"

Yes, and as usual, I'm somewhere taking selfies in someone's mirror… HA! I may be on the grunge but there was nothing stopping me from drooling over this one of a kind Elephant piece that I kept picking up probably about 100x until Ruben saw my extreme obsession with it… LOL!!! 

It was love at first sight. No doubt. 

Chic. Style. Gardenia.

Every Woman needs a go-to-piece for each day of her life. Express yourself with compelling and original handpicked pieces. These unique pieces are limited due to exclusivity and demand. Oh and did I mention it's all under $50!?!!! No need to break the bank to make a statement… 

The Haute Report says, "Yassssss!!!"

So, before I drink all of Ruben's lemonade and ruin some of his pieces with drool… 

We'll end this on a good note… 

GIVEAWAY!!!! 

Stay tuned for details on how to win the "giveaway prize" from Gardenia Coleccion…

DuO's Summer Fling Knockout @Lumen Lounge

It's Club DuO Summer Fling coordinated by RFLifestyles @Lumen Lounge featuring Bachelor Shoes!!!! 

Let's start by saying how much I LOVE DUO!!! And, blah blah blah… So I could be a little biased here but not really… A night with Club DuO on the Runway!?!!! One word: EXPLOSIVE!!! 

Most definitely, a MUST to attend!!! 

First, we'll head backstage with Ruben Flores (RFLifestyles) of DuO and the HAUTE Models of the Night to get a quick peek of the DuO Turn Up!!! HA! 

Yessssss!!!!! I actually wanted to say, "yassssss" but oh well… (smirk)… LOL! 

Champagne, Models, DuO's InStyle team, Photogs… a little mix & mingle, so you know it's SCORCHING HAUTE in here!!! 

 Ruben looking dappernaire as always and I'm like, 'selfie please Mr. #StyleNotSwag'

How beauty meets beauty and makes more beauty, if that's even possible here… 

The make-up artist was beating faces like none other!!! Summer Fling Fabulosity!!! 

  

And, of course, Photoshoot Time!!! Duh… 

It's Sexy back here!!! Water, please, just a sip… Otay! Models of the Night styled in RFLifestyles T-Shirts and those one of a kind Bachelor Shoes that I'm trying to order… HA! 

HAUTE! HAUTE! HAUTE! 

And not to forget the complimentary Swag Gift Bags & Chamito drinks for the 1st 50 ladies… (each bag valued at $500)… 

Ummm… No, I did not peek in the bags we'll just have to get one to see what's inside… HA! 

More backstage with DuO and a glimpse of their Summer Fling looks ready to hit the Runway… 

However, you'll have to wait until the show… LOL!!! 

I'm too Sexy for my… So SEXY it huuurts!!! 

Oh! Here comes the Swag Bags! The Swag Bags! Here! Here! Here! Ah shucks! We missed it!!! (Toddler girl sad face :(( crosses arms) 

I need to step up my game or I'll never catch a bouquet at a wedding… Anywho, moving along… LOL!!! 

Let the Midnight Runway BLAZZZZE!!!! 

White graphic V-neck T-shirts for the Summer!?! Yes Sir! It's simple, effortless, haute, yet sexy all in one… 

This Summer, we're going to see a lot of Chic Street with all sorts of lace, chiffon, cool cotton, whether shorts, skirts or dresses. Silky rompers, jersey type dresses. 

Maxi dresses that make a statement. 

Kimonos and Blazers that are cool enough to stand in the Summer heat… 

Whatever you're looking for…

DuO has it all!!! 

The Printed Maxi Shirt-dress belted with a slit on the side… LOVE!!! 

Will have you turning heads at your Summer Picnics or BBQ's…

How about the Romper with a front zipper for the cleavage to bring the noise!?!?!! *wink… Whether going to the beach, pool party or just haute on the go… 

Maybe the Jersey dress that has the illusion of short sleeves being rolled up to your shoulders with the two slits on the side that'll have everyone asking, 'who's that girl?' 'Are you a model?' True story. I was literally asked that when wearing this very same dress… HA! 

P.S. I actually wore this Dress that night and I think I tortured myself that day because little miss wannabe 'perfect' felt like she couldn't eat what she wanted that day because HAUTE HAUTE HAUTE was all I wanted to be… 

Tye Dye the Maxi!!! And don't forget those Straw Hats!!! Which are essential to a girls summer wardrobe... in my opinion… 

Fellas and the button downs… 

Vibrant colors with the perfect fit can be easily paired with your denim, chinos, slacks and/or shorts… whatever your style case!!! 

The DuO male for the dapper young fellas!!! 

 

RFLifestyles graphic V-necks as mentioned earlier… #ScorchingHaute!!!! 

Kimono, please fly me away!!!! 

Haute! Chic! Fun! & Sexy! 

Ladies… How to keep Summer Haute… 

To my beliefs, we're in love with this Chic printed Romper!!! I see so many endless possibilites with it throughout the Summer… 

Add or no add a Blazer, Kimono, Cardigan or even a mean leather for those cool summer nights… Pumps, Sandal, flats or depending on your shoe game, a bootie would also rock the Romp…. 

So, yeah, ummm… I was thinking of how to describe this look but then I thought to self, "self" and then I fainted…

Love the pants! (Shrugs… LOL!) 

DuO after dark? You know it!!! 

DuO before and after dark? Yes indeed… 

The Chiffon Sheer like dress with a lace-crochet type halter top - too cute to not have in the closet!!! Something about a Sunday Brunch… 

Ummm... So, yeah… how about those pants again!?!!! Nice fit, if I must say… HA! 

Summer Dates, anyone? 

The LWD (little white dress) always a summer favorite for the Lady… 

A bold multicolored button down paired with a slipper type loafer, says a lot for the dapper gentlemen… 

Camouflage button down... 

We likey like like!!!  

THIS IS DuOOOOO!!!!!! 

My attempt at recreating the, 'This is Spartan' yell… LOL!!! 

Like I said, "one word: EXPLOSIVE!!!"

Okay, okay, it was SCORCHING HAUTE!!! So, three words… HA! 

Round of applause for the great collaboration with DuO RFLifestyles and Bachelor Shoes!!! 

BRAVO! MUAH! LOVE! 

After the Show, it's the After Party!!! Duh!!!

 Of course!!! Backstage with Club DuO Models and InStyle team... 

When it's all said and done...Turn down for what!?!!! 

Going out DuO Style!!!!!

The Scorching Haute Chic Street!!!!!

Yes, it's true. I could not resist and had to join some of the action with the FAB Club DuO… 

Who's Got Style!?!!! DuOs got Style!!!!! 

What can I say!?!!! Never a dull moment!!! 

The venue was perfect! Live with partygoers all enthused on a Haute Summer Night at the Sexy Lumen Lounge!!! 

I've shared all that I'm willing to at time… LOL! Just enough to entice you all to shop DuO for more… *wink *wink 

So, when we speak of the Style of DuO's Summer Fling - it's Chic, Haute, Sexy, Fun, Playful and all for a reasonable price!!! 

Awesome fashion finds for less than $100 and their haute deals such as buy 2 get 2 free or spend $100 get a $100 free just to give you an idea… Look like your favorite celebrity or mix & match to look like yourself without breaking the bank... Or just looking to stay Summer Haute - Shop DuO!!!

Moral of the story: Step out at your best this summer with the looks we all love!!!
