Style Icon: Victoria Beckham

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you would have known by now that my admiration for Victoria Beckham is real because she is the only celebrity apart from Michelle Obama that I have blogged about multiple times. Her sense of style is out of this world as she wears and own every look effortlessly. I never get tired of scrolling through her pictures online. As Fall get's closer, I am definitely stalking her pics/videos for some Fall fashion inspiration.


Victoria Beckham (VB, as some refer to her) is popular for her signature pose, oversized glasses, structured coats and solid color hue. However, whenever she steps out in florals or stripes, she looks just as impeccable. Below are some of my outfit inspiration for Fall.

Fashionista aside, VB is also an inspiration in the way she handles herself in the public eye, her family life and her strong business empire. If any lady can be in the spot lights for so long and still manage to look this great while keeping every other thing around her together, she deserves an applause. **insert clapping hands emoji here.

Back to School and Work Outfit Ideas

It's back to school again and back to work for all educators/teachers. It's always a cool idea to show up on the first day of school or work looking comfortable, clean, and put together. Once you get the fashion out of the way, you'll be ready to conquer the task/work that is ahead of you. If you need a little bit of inspiration to start off on the first day, below are some outfit ideas/inspiration.




                                                       School Style


Do you want to go to school looking a little bit dressed up and yet casual on the first day? Then you'll need a good blazer which can be denim, khaki or velvet. Just throw in a tee, slim fit denim and a great pair of comfy shoes and you are good to go. You can dress down by wearing a pair of sneakers or converse or dress up by wearing a cute pair of flats or comfortable heels.

 

 

 

 

A sure way to achieve a casual look is to wear denim (a no brainer) along with a pair of flats, sandals or sneakers. The denim on denim look is totally not out of style but you can wear

 the latest twist on it by wearing a denim dress and a pair of sneakers.

 

 

 

 

                                                                 Work Style

 

 

 

 

The best way to show up for work in an office setting or corporate office is to make a statement with your outfit. The kind of statement you make depends on the dress code present at your place of work. If it is flexible, you can show up in a dramatic skirt as this MSMG wrap wool blend skirt pictured below. You can also make a statement by wearing a pair of pants or skirt in a solid color or hue that is totally unexpected but chic and trendy or maybe a pair of statement shoes (you know there are lots to choose from, shoe lovers...:-). Another option is to wear a statement piece of jewelry like a necklace, earring or a brooch/pin; just have fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you work in a casual setting? Below is an outfit inspiration for showing up chic and trendy. Put on a pair of denim with a great fit in a dark hue and throw in a statement piece in the form of a handbag or clutch. A nice pair of flats or comfortable heels should complete the look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You would agree with me that is important to dress for success all the time irrespective of whether you work in a casual or formal environment. What are your thoughts on making an extra fashion statement when you go back to school or the office after some time off?

Fall 2016 Trends - Part One

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fall is around the corner and the trends for the season have started showing up in the runways of fashion shows and fashion week. Some of the trends that would be seen this Fall include the saddle bag (pictured Above) with sleek, beautiful lines. Last fall, the bag for the season was the bucket bag but I know the bucket bag would likely take a back seat this Fall.

Lace has always been a popular fabric for summer but this Fall, we are going to see loads of it in layered Fall fashion and a bold color lace top peeking through in a trench coat or jacket would add an interesting detail to layered look.

 

Don't we just love the good old striped tee that is ever present in any season of the year? Yes, we do! The striped tee would make a great comeback for Fall and it would make a nice combination for that cute sneaker.

 

The caged sandals or booties is another interesting shoe design that has been featured a lot in the runways lately so it is definite that we'll see lots of it in the Fall season. Tassels, pom-poms and fringe are some adornments that would come with the caged sandal too.

The pointed toe flats in great colors, neutral hues and sleek designs would grace lots of feet in the Fall season too and they would help with the transition to those chic Winter boots. Most designers and major stores are already out with their chic flats and the suede pointed toe flats would be a cool trend too.

 

 

 

The Cropped denim is already here this summer but more of it would be seen in Fall along with the denim culottes. 'Just throw a great chunky sweater over it and you are good to go. The combination of a striped tee, cropped denim, caged sandals and a saddle bag is one to watch out for. If you are not interested in any of these trends, it would be fun to sit down in a mall and just "people watch" to see how the trend plays out.

Casual in blue

Its been a while since I posted a casual look on here; I had second thoughts about these pics though. It was a Saturday morning and I had just had a big breakfast and had bags packed in the car for a family road trip. I realized later when I was looking at the pics in my phone that my overfilled stomach was bulging under my tee...lol. Next time, I would suck my stomach in as much as I can or I'll just avoid taking pictures after a big meal altogether.

I had fun on the trip and it was a road trip to remember. I did mention in my one of my previous posts that I made a short trip to Africa too after nearly ten years since my last visit. It's been an eventful summer for me. I hope you have been enjoying the summer too. A walk in the park with family and friends can also be as fun and rewarding as can be. Would you also post very casual looks on your blog? What are your thoughts...

Hello September

Hello everyone; happy new Month of September. I knew I just had to get on the blog to say hi and express my well wishes for the new month. How have you all been? Summer is gradually coming to an end and I'm a bit sad about it..:-) This summer has been a fun and eventful one and I pray the Fall season brings along loads of fun too.

I got this awesome pineapple print skirt with pockets from Ann Taylor at the onset of the summer and I really like the diversity it adds to my closet both in print and color. The fabric is very soft and comfy though it wrinkles quite easily. The length is just perfect too. I am so glad I got to wear some cool skirts this summer because Summer is the best time for skirts like this; in my opinion. Do you agree?

Floral Flats for Fall

The Fall Season is coming fast upon us and this is the time to start looking for deals and savings on Fall items; everything goes up full price when the stores are stocked up for Fall. Big stores like Nordstrom and Topshop just ended their summer sales and I was able to score a few pieces and accessories here and there for Fall.

This pair of floral pumps pictured here were on sale at DSW a couple of weeks ago and the print and color is so great for fall. The sleek pointed toe design and floral prints definitely would look good paired with a blazer, a scarf or a great color blazer.

Check it out here
