Back to the Reebok "Classics"


It's Friday, the freaking weekend baby! 
And, the only thing on our minds at (what time is it?) 4 a.m. in the morning… 
What sneaks we'll rock for Spring… 

With less than a month away, I'm declaring Spring, right now! Although, still a little chilly out, it's never too early to get a start on the Spring wardrobe…

Reebok will be the name of my game! Whether it's a throwback all white Classic Leather, Classic Nylon or stepping up my color game in this Springs, Freestyle HI "Spirit Collection" of pastel colors, yellow, purple, green and tan (looks more peachy to me… shrugs)… 

Taking us back to everything we love about the 80's!

I got yellow fever, you got yellow fever, we're in love (singing in my head… No secret that we have some yellow fever going on. Nothing seems right without a pop of yellow! Only $75 a pair at select stores, I think we can make all 4 happen… 
What do you think ladies???

Time to get into the Spring "spirit"!

The Art of Fashion Spring 2015


The Art of Fashion Spring 2015 Ad Campaign, announced by Neiman Marcus Feb. 15th, is everything Fashion and the Art of it!!! 

The gorgeous model, Stella Tennant, the face of this year's campaign, photgraphed by both Luigi Murenu & Iango Henzi, brings a classic new light to the cameras, allowing the simplicity of the set to showcase the true Art of Fashion…

Since 1994, each Spring and Fall, the world's most visionary photographers have carried the torch and given The Art of Fashion their own signature. Previous campaigns have included some of the best photographers to date. Now adding their magic touch, Luigi & Iango, used lensmen's superb lighting (more or so for movie sets) with the lovely Scottish model, Stella, in which the campaign will be featured in Neiman Marcus "the book", Harper's Bazaar, Vanity Fair and Vogue. 

And, let's not forget the top designer brands that will be featured throughout the campaign and just to name a few more outside of the photos displayed here: Chloe, Derek Lam, Chanel, Lanvin, Stella McCartney and lots more from the various brands we all know and love… 

Take a peek! Check it out! 

The Art of Fashion!!! 

Saint Laurent… 

Brunello Cucinelli… 

Christian Louboutin… 

“The lights are strong and continuous. Brutal,” attests Murenu, one half of the 

New York–based team. “But Stella is very artistic, her body expressive.” Over 

the three-day shoot, Murenu and Henzi switch roles organically, pivoting between 

art-directing compositions and stepping behind the camera. “We’re completely 

integrated to one idea even if it has two voices,” Murenu explains.

Balenciaga… 

Proenza Schouler…  Fringe Benefits!


Burberry Prorsum… 

Tom Ford…


“The Spring 2015 Art of Fashion campaign is about classic, iconic fashion

photography and bringing together three amazing creative forces: Luigi, iango and 

Stella Tennant,” said Georgia Christensen, Neiman Marcus Executive Creative 

Director. “It was wonderful to see Luigi and iango work together and experience 

their creative process. Two minds. Two points of view that came together 

seamlessly into one portfolio of images. A true collaboration of passionate artists 

devoted to the industry. Stella is a dream, I often found myself mesmerized by her 

on set. The result is extraordinary imagery.”


WE LOVE EVERYTHING FASHION & ART!!!!

Blue & White Chic Days…


Over the Winter weather and in to the Spring Season (in my mind)… 

All white with a patch of soft blue for a foggy day on the town… 

Blurred Lines never looked better! 

Blue & White Chic Days....


An all white ensemble is always haute and says, "who's boss?" 
Adding a soft color to compliment the white, can definitely go a long way on Chic Street! 

I ran into Zara's about a week ago and had an overdose on blue. The blouse spoke to me when I walked by and said, "hello, beautiful, look at me". So, I checked her out and she was on sale for only $12! Yes! Original price was around $40 or so ~ but nothing beats an awesome sale! In the bag!!! 

Cross between my usual blue denim or skirts, I wanted my boots and blouse to do all the talking and pairing them with white jeans and a white blazer, brought my blues to life… HA! 


The blouse was super chic as the buttons are more centered to the side of the shirt rather than down the middle. Also, the neck-tie is centered on the side as well… 
The fabric and structure was just my type, whether I'm looking to dress up or a casually chic outting - the blouse goes both ways! 

Outfit Details: Blazer ~ NY & CO.; Blouse ~ Zara, Denim (white) ~ Levi's; Boots ~ Zara; Fringe Bag ~ BCBG; Hair ~ Wild… 

Blurred Lines, again… 

Feeling Spring-ish on ugly days to bring some light out and apparently loving the new trends! 
Between my cowboy boots that I always seem to pair with my fringe bags, white on white, and of course, Spring always brings out the pastels we put away during our cold Winter days… 

What colors will you run to this Spring???

Slipping with my Wide-Legs


Caught Slipping with my Wide-Legs and other things… 

I've been obsessed with wearing my dresses as tops with pants. But, this time I'm on to something else… 

The Slip dress! 


We've seen the slip dress making a comeback from the '90's on the Runways, as well, on street-style stars from Fashion Week and so forth. 

I've taken my slip dress on a "Casually Chic" ride, pairing with a Blazer, Wide-Leg denim, short sleeve sweater (high-neck) and yellow pumps for the Yellow Fever going around… 

Three trends in one ensemble. 
Slip dress, wide-legs and a splash of yellow… 

Outfit Details: Slip ~ Nordstroms Intimates, Blazer - Thrifted, Wide-Leg Demim ~ 7 for all Mankind; Heels and Sweater ~ Zara; Hair ~ shrugs (I mean it's curly)…. 

While everything else was my usual casual, the silky slip dress and yellow pumps made me feel sexy and playful at the same time. I mean business but I also came to play… LOL! 

Layering nudes with creme and eggshell whites, on top of denim, we could also say, is another trend. Don't be afraid or ashamed to mix your whites and cremes together in one ensemble, let them play off each other to give yourself an effortless look. 

Falling in love with a new trend, doesn't mean you have to wear it the way it was introduced to you. Twist things up and wear it to fit your own personal style. 


Happy Saturday Hautees!!! 
Rock or Stop????

My Blue Suede Cowboy Boots



You ever find yourself in the mall, when you're not suppose to be shopping and find the cutest little 'must-have now' where the temptation is so intense you let it win??? 

Well, that's the story here with 'My Blue Suede Cowboy Boots'!

Browsing through Zara's with one of my girlfriend's as I'm styling her for a Casually Chic weekend in New York for the NBA All-Stars, I couldn't help myself, I mean, we're in Zara's, what was a girl to do when she sees blue suede boots in her size? Pass them by? 
NEVER!!!! 


Why I love Zara's so much!!! 
Besides Neiman Marcus, pretty much my only two reasons for walking in a mall. Other than that, I'll stick to my boutiques, thank you. 

But the Cowboy boots are everything! Wear them how you like with practically, anything! 
Midi skirts, cropped wide-leg trousers, skinnies, boyfriend cuts, the list can go on. 
And, $100 bucks?! Can't beat that! 

There's a little Western trend taking place right now and the upcoming seasons, so why not add a little country to your wardrobe. 


HA! Instead, we have a selfie! 
The boots are extremely comfy, I was feeling completely comfy (after a long day of cleaning, hence the broom... LOL!), so why not stay casually comfy in 'my blue suede cowboy boots' with a little fringe benefit??? 

The boots… Rock'em or Knock'em??? 

Happy Tuesday Hautees!!! 
We're back!!! 
(Disappeared due to moving and a very weird schedule…)

Best Dressed on the Grammy's Red Carpet...


The time we've all been waiting for has come and gone. 
The 57th Annual Grammy Awards Red Carpet!

Black was the name of the game, tonight! 
Celebs flooded the Red Carpet in all black, others went outside the box, while some stuck to their usual and played it safe. Unimpressed by many, however, there were quite a few that stole our hearts and we almost dropped dead over some gorgeous HauteCouture Gowns....

Here's our Top 10 from the Red Carpet...

Who was Best Dressed???



                                 Pharrell and wifey, makes our list in custom Adidas suits.
Love how these two coordinate and step outside the box, each and every time. 
The gray and white was perfect!
Bow-tie and shorts??? 
#Adidas4Life


Kelly Osbourne, always gets my vote!
Black & White motifs with her signature purple hair and that glammed out Fishy Clutch, puts this hautee on our Top 10 list for Best Dressed.


Mr. Neyo, wearing Marc Jacobs as a dapper Gent. 
Suit tailored just right for him, no need for a tie, we'll just pop a few buttons up top. 
The hat, shades and smile, makes this all work wonders for a vote on our Best Dressed list for the gents.


Kim K. (Kimye) does it again! Well, Kanye did it, again!
In Jean Paul Gaultier (I swear this must be from the vault) Haute! Haute! Haute!
Hubby knows his way around his wife. There may be just a little too much boobie, here, but the shoulder length hair, the nude make-up and the glow on her skin looks like gold.
Bravo Kanye! Bravo!!!!



Rita Ora in Prada and Lorraine Schwartz!
Twinkle, Twinkle little star! 
The dress was custom made for Ms. Rita and it just happens to be the only one in the world!!! 
Shine bright like a diamond, eh? (Rihanna lyrics, LOL!)
Originality and one of kind ~ definitely one of our Top 10.


Jessie J brought her sheer game on, in this Ralph & Russo Gown!
I wouldn't wear it any other way!
The structure of the gown, the motifs, train, embellishments, I mean, EVERYTHING!!!!
Almost, my absolute favorite of the night....


Ciara (CiCi) in Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture! 
The Tulle Swirl on fiya!
Poufy, asymmetrical with one helluva train (not shown above)!
Ciara just gets better and better with time when it comes to style and fashion. Her sense of style is sometimes underrated and I can't figure that out for the life of me.
(She reminds of JadaKiss in Hip-Hop, one of the hottest underrated Hip-Hop artist EVER!
                                              Well, that's how I feel about my CiCi)...
Show up and Show out!!!!


Best Dressed male of the night?
Nick Jonas in this Versace Suit with white Sneaks...


Taylor Swift was our runner up for Best Dressed female on the Red Carpet in this beautiful gown by Elie Saab. The color combo was more than perfect! High-low front, setting the center stage for Taylor to show off those long, lean, sexy legs of hers.
The accessories and hair were right on point to put this hautee on best dressed list everywhere!!!!


Our #1 pick for Best Dressed....
Rihanna "Bad Gal RiRi" stole the entire show!
Yes, we love this couture gown on her by Giambattista Valli!
The style icon goes against the grain, once again! It's almost impossible to predict what she'll show up wearing, therefore, I'm always, anxiously, anticipating to see what this hautee does.
Sexy & Pretty in Pink!
My timelines were going H.A.M. about RiRi's dress, a lot of dislikes and comparisons to cakes, Pepto bismol, Quinceanera dresses and so forth. And, I'm just sitting here with my mouth wide open like this is absolute Stunning and Gorgeous!!!!



Oh, hey! Madonna! She didn't make our cut, whatsover. But, typical "Material Girl" was there in Givenchy, sticking to her roots of being rounchy, no matter the age... Did you guys get the memo? Fishnets are back! LOL!!!

Overall, there were lots of great looks, some we did not favor due to the over spill of boobage and others well, just didn't make our cut *shrugs*....

That's our round-up of the The 57th Annual Grammy Awards Red Carpet Best Dressed!
Haute or Shot???

Which were your favorites from the night???
