Splurge? or STEAL!: Prada "Baroque" Inspired Sunglasses

Hello Beautiful!!

One of the most wearable trends for Spring is Sunglasses and they're also a MUST HAVE for Summer, which is quickly approaching!

 I fell in love with these circle framed sunglasses, that I call my JackieO's! Lol, I don't know, they just reminded me of her.

However, I soon found out that my JackieO's had their own name and were designed by Prada for a lot more than I would bargain for any sunglasses!!

Yes, they're the Prada "Baroque" Sunglasses! They're vintage, iconic and sooo damn stylish!

                                                

Well you know I had to look for a dupe of these stylish sunglasses! And I didn't have to look far...

 

My favorite sunglasses website, Retro City Sunglasses, had the exact replicas for $10.99!!!

                                               

Don't they look the same, except for the PRADA logo on the frame and handle like the original Prada Baroque?

I was excited when I finally got my Black Bellissimo Oversize Sunglasses, from Retro City Sunglasses. They were sturdy, made with good quality and fit perfectly on my face! These shades were definitely a STEAL for all that good stuff, that great price and that designer look!

I didn't have to SPLURGE to stunt in my beloved JackieO's. But I wear them like I did... ;-)

OOTD: SPRING BRIGHTS, SPRINTS AND STRIDES!

Hey Beautiful!!!

This Easter weekend the 2013 Carifta Games were hosted in my hometown, Nassau, Bahamas. We hosted competing countries throughout the Caribbean for 4 days. However I only attended 1 day, which was the last day, and the final events.

I had a blast!! And it was a beautiful thing to see my country and all the other countries represent for their hometown by waving flags, blowing whistles and cheering their athletes on!

Due to the Spring season, and the festivities I wanted to be cute, colorful and comfortable. I also wanted to bust out my PINK Hermes Birkin inspired handbag.

Here is what I wore:

Neon Yellow Blazer

Embellished Black & White Graphic Tee

High Waist Jeans Shorts

#vintagepiece! These are GAP jeans and they're actually hand-me down's from my cousin Nakara! (Hey Cuz!) I can't even tell you how old these jeans are, but they still make for a good fashion piece. I never threw these away for 2 reasons: They're classic, vintage, and versatile to style! And two, they're a keepsake since my cousin no longer lives in the Bahamas with me. :(

Black Spiked Flats

Metal & Spiked Accessories

Pink Hermes Birkin Inspired Bag

Full Outfit:

Its Spring, so I wanted to add pops of color to my outfit with my neon yellow blazer and hot pink bag. Meanwhile, I didn't want to look overdress as it was a casual, fun, sporting event. So I simplified the outfit with jeans shorts and a graphic tee.

Simple basic clothing are always a good canvas for accent pieces and accessories. Black and white is easy to dress Up or Down. So is jeans, blazers, and flats. All of which are in this outfit. Just imagine trying to dress down a printed peplum top or tiered and textured skirt. It just wont work!

I hope this look inspires your next outfit! Remember, "always dress to express yourself."

SPLURGE? or STEAL!: Queen of the Jungle Necklace

Hello Beautiful…

It’s a New Year again! 2013!!! Whoo Hooo!! And honey, I'm all about saving, saving, saving!

But nothing can stop me from some good fashion pieces and a little shopping! So you guessed it… I'll be stealing more than SPLURGING this year!

And I want you to Steal (not literally) and SAVE too!

So once again I've been following Rihanna's fashion and gushing over this Lion Head charmed necklace she's been wearing.

I did a little research and found out it is the Melody Ehsani Queen of the Jungle Necklace.

So in my little research I found out that Melody Ehsani Queen of the Jungle necklace (small) retails for $69.00 and the Melody Ehsani King of the Jungle necklace (large) retails for $72.00.

Not so bad… but still a pretty penny! But I loved that old school hip hop twist to a statement necklace, and had to have it! Well… one just like it!

So I found a replica to the Queen of the Jungle Necklace at one of My favorite online clothing and accessories stores, JaDazzles Clothing and Accessories retailing for $18.00.

It’s a little bit longer than the original, but the look is basically the same.

So once again I STOLE THE LOOK and SAVED ME SOME MONEY, Honey!! I hope it'll save You some too...
