From the Treasure Chest: Turquoise and Crystal Cuff

During the heat of the summer you want to make sure you're shining. A nice deep tan and sun-kissed cheeks in a white-hot bikini while you relax on a beach in the Caribbean. Magnifique! Well if you're digging for a gold shimmery piece to wear, you bronze goddess, look no further.

Just drool over this two-toned turquoise and gold cuff. Isn't it just gorgeous?! The colors remind me of that pretty blue water you see off the coast of Miami. The cuff is wide and chunky which is a great little statement piece of jewelry. The turquoise circle is split in half by a line of crystals that give you extra sparkle for those sexy nights after you hit the beach. The cuff is topped off by two textured gold beads. It's the perfect combination for the season.

And the price isn't too bad either. Only $30 for this pretty little ditty. Snatch it up now while you can...

Oh Captain! Anchor Two Finger Ring

I'm obsessed with statement rings. I like them bright and shiny. And the bigger the better. I walked into one of my favorite little boutiques, saw this baby and was immediately swept out to sea. Give me any excuse to wear something nautical.

This anchor ring is the perfect accessory for the summer. It's one of those double finger things that I'm oh so fond of. It's gold-plated with great detailing. You can wear it with a simple outfit or go all out in nautical stripes. Either way this ring really packs some punch. Just don't hit anybody with it. The best thing is, it's super affordable. Only ten bucks, mateys! You'd better jump on board now...

On Fire: Geometric Lace Bra & Knickers

This may be a bit intimate, but I figured I'd share it anyway. My lingerie is straight up boring. There's no color, no fun, and no va va voom. Because my job requires me to wear undies that won't distract from the clothes I'm modeling, most of my undergarments are nude, black, and blah. Deep down inside I know that I'm a sexy minx, so why not fully embrace that in this naughty lace set.

Oftentimes ladies get new lingerie on Valentine's Day from a boyfriend, husband, or boy toy. But why wait for a man to get you what you want? This triangle shaped bra with matching panties are perfectly priced for the frugal fashionista at only $36 for the set. Delicate lace detailing with a contrasting black band combine to make this look sweet and spicy. I can just imagine wearing this and dancing around my apartment while I make sexy faces in the mirror. I don't need an audience. On second thought, if you're cute, witty, and happen to appreciate my silly dance moves, you're welcome to watch. But don't kill my vibe. So back to these lacey knickers, you know what to do...

Too Fly: Wings Burnout Sweatshirt

If you flip through my closet, you'll notice a plethora of grey. Heather grey short-sleeve shirts, grey v-necks, grey tanks, grey jeans. Slight obsession... yeah, maybe. And I'm about to add another piece to the shades of grey collection.

This grey burnout sweatshirt from Topshop is the business. Being the Phoenix that I am, I love anything with wings. The sweatshirt is super comfy and slightly oversized. Dress it down or dress it up. On Saturday afternoons, I'd put it with some boyfriend jeans and some kicks. When the night comes, a pair a wax denim, killer stilettos, and red lips will do the job. Hotness! If you want to get your wings, you know what to do...

So Necessary: Style Protocol

Since I was a kid, I've been surrounded by men who get their hands dirty, but who also clean up pretty nicely. They know that you don't wear ripped up jeans to brunch. They never go somewhere important looking like they just rolled out of bed. And most importantly, they know how to tie a neck tie. These guys were taught how to carry themselves as men. But as I get older, what I thought was a standard is actually an anomaly. When did dressing like a slob become attractive? It's obvious that dudes these days need help and how! Enter celebrity fashion stylist Reinaldo Irizarry...

Mr. Reyal Fashion is sharing his talent and knowledge in a new book called Style Protocol. It's an impeccable go-to guide for men's style that doesn't read like stereo instructions. Reinaldo realized that men need a little more guidance than women when it comes to clothing. Think about it... the average guy doesn't wear clothes that fit him and really doesn't know when to wear what. They actually have to google black tie affair when they see it on an invitation.
“The indispensable advice in this book will help you gain an understanding of how the different elements of dressing all relate and how you can use them to develop a polished and confident sense of personal style.” - Reinaldo Irizarry


The book covers topics like what to wear for everyday life, instructions on tying both a necktie and a bow tie, and dressing well on a budget. Reinaldo also goes beyond the call of duty and teaches men the ins and outs of suits even down to how to tell the difference between a canvased suit and a fused one. Genius.

Oh Yes: Slim Fit Striped Blazer

We all know how boring black blazers can be. Sure they match everything, but where's the fun in that? Where's the risk? Maybe you should hang that blah jacket in the back of your closet and opt for something with a little more flair. Go for the stripes.

This gray and white blazer is something I'd totally grab from a guy's closet and wear like it actually belongs to me. Wait, is this yours? I could've sworn I let you borrow it.  For men, the slim fit means that it will accentuate your body ever so perfectly without being too tight. For women this means you won't  look like a little girl playing in dad's clothes, but it will still look like a boyfriend cut... well, because it is. Duh.

Oh, and the price has been slashed tremendously. This blazer just keeps looking better and better.
2 buttons + 3 front pockets + too many stripes to count = perfection. So what are you waiting for...

On Point: Guarded Oxford Pump

A classic shoe gets a feminine upgrade. I am literally obsessed with oxfords. When I got into a store, my eyes are immediately drawn to these shoes. Oxfords are perfectly preppy. They can take a plain t-shirt and khakis from drab to Ab Fab with just one click of your heels.

So just imagine how cute you'd look in these Fergie Guarded Oxford Pumps. Seriously, this baby should be a staple in your shoe collection. Peep the signature Oxford detailing. This shoe laces in the front but zips up on the side for easy access. And check out that wing tip pointed toe. Killer! If you're not dying to have these stems, you've got issues.

Yeah Boy: Contrast Pocket Shirt

Everyone needs a great T. They're simple, comfy, and all around heavenly... If you find the right one. And when I discover that perfect t-shirt, I rock it everyday. I'll hear people say "Didn't I just see you wearing that?" To which I reply "No, I've got like five T's that look exactly the same." Come on. Who doesn't live in their favorite shirt?

What I love about this t-shirt are the details. It has a deep V for showing off your décolletage. There's a single contrast patch pocket to matches the contrast sleeves. And it's 100 percent cotton. This shirt works great for guys and girls. So, chicks this is one T you can buy for your boyfriend and then steal it from him. It will look just as good on him as it will on you.

Fresh: Nike Sky High Dunks

I'm not a sneaker head and I don't ball, but these vicious dunks got me trippin'. If you can't already tell from my Instagram pics, I'm in love with my Nikes. As soon as I put them on, I felt fresh to def. My whole perspective went from alright to say word! Like Spike Lee said "It's gotta be the shoes!"

Wedge sneakers are all the rage this season. From Isabel Marant to another fav of mine Ash, any brand who knows what's good for it is getting in on this trend. You can opt for a chunky high top or something a bit more sleek. The good thing is that wedge sneakers give you style and height while still being super comfy.

My girl Taye and I spent a little time trying on various pairs to see which looked the hottest. After lots of hits and misses, we decided to go with the Nikes. I mean you can't go wrong with the swoosh. It reigns supreme. But finding these babies proved to be a challenge. I went from store to store. I asked a few sales dudes who had no clue what I was talking about. But finally the sales chicks said they had one pair left just waiting for me. Call it destiny.

Don't worry, you wont have to go through all that. I've done the leg work for you. At a super sweet price, you better not pass these up! You know what the deal is...

Just Blaze: Neon Cutout Dress

Have you ever noticed that all the girls in Hollywood wear the same dress? I'm not even kidding. On any given night, you will catch a gang of chicks in identical short, tight black dresses and cheap heels. Ladies, we've got to stop the insanity. There are other options, and this little number is perfect!

I found this dress while window shopping on Nasty Gal and I'm all about the cutout. The style is quite naughty while not showing too much skin. And the color is electrifying! If yellow isn't your thing, the dress also comes in blue. Sometimes, you've got to say bye-bye to the LBD and say hello to bright and bold. Pair it with a clutch and some killer shoes, and you're ready to knock 'em dead. Did I mention it's on sale?! Yeah, you know what to do...
