It has been a very epic fall into the Autumn chill here in Seattle. I have made my shorts last, by wearing tights, yet soon I will no longer be able to do such a thing. So, here is my latest inspiring polyvore board. I absolutely love this Burberry Prorsum trench coat! It falls into the new, HOT burgundy trend, yet still holds it’s own as a classic, that will forever be timeless. I envision wearing little to nothing underneath the trench with the must have Givenchy Boots. I absolutely must have them, do you think Santa will bring them to me? I have been an extremely good girl this year. I love the contrast of the turquoise, sea green clutch. The necklace begs to be seen with my little black slip dress, that is in creation. I am finding much needed inspiration in the online realm, and plan on taking my skills to the next level. There will be a post soon, about my grand scheme and exciting new plans. Until then, What do you most covet this fall? Leave your comments below, I really do love to hear what it is that is trending in your realm.

With the chillier nights, come the autumn festivals. The balls; Halloween {ball}, Thanksgiving {ball}, Winter {ball}, all of these festivities require a gown. Yet, for someone like myself, that may feel too made up; girly in a gown with heels, I would pair my gown with a 1920′s Military-esq  Jacket and gold-adorned combat boots. The purse can either be carried as a clutch, thrown over a shoulder or swung over the body; either way it’s a win-win situation.
what’s your Fall ball gown go to outfit? anything quite similar to mine? or are you imagining the gown with flats and a grecian head piece? leave your comments below, I’d love to hear your take.

Cris Urena is a Dominican Republic born GODDESS! She has this sort of Chanel Iman meets Shingai Shoniwa look, yet all in her own grace. I am smitten by her. I love that there are more and more beautiful colored woman walking the runway, pioneering the music scene and owning/dominating in sports; typically considered for caucasians only. Cris Urena is one of these talented woman that I am sure we will be seeing more of. Just look at how beautiful and versatile she is.

Dolce&Gabbana FW 2013 is exquisite. I have always been quite fond of these designers and their collections. Yet, this one easily embodies my soul and spirit. The Leopard print, the Italian Renaissance, the red with black and white (perfect color combo), The slight masculine with feminine. Velvet and Tweed, Oh MY! It oozes and exudes the B.F.L.Y Mama Style.

“The Dolce&Gabbana woman is genuine and sensual. Always elegant and unique, her style is unabashed.” -Dolce&Gabbana

“…golden embroideries that recall Baroque mirrors and frames or embroideries made of small points inspired by dining room tapestries; prints of cherubs and angels that appear to have come out of a painting.” -Dolce&Gabbana Press release

I find myself floating through the Italian Riviera during my waking life. These are the moments that I long for, the moments I work towards, my dreams are filled with rich colorful moments such as these.

Given M.I.A.’s recent superbowl controversial gesture, I feel it only appropriate to highlight her. She is such an amazing person, she is a philanthropist  and humanitarian! She has been nominated for the Brit Award (which only makes sense given she is from the UK), Academy Award, Grammy Award, Mercury Prize, and Alternative Turner Prize. Maya, as in her given name, is an artist of the twentieth century. Her mediums include, yet are not limited to Music, Graffiti, Fashion, Paint, Visual Art, Film, Spoken and Written Word, amongst the few. M.I.A is definitely in my view a woman that she be honored for the many accomplishments she has endured and the ones she shares with her millions of fans.

I know that New Years Eve is 69 days away, yet this year I intend on being in New York City. So I have chosen some dresses that  I would love to wear to the many parties I intend on attending. Although some are out of my price range, a girl’s gotta dream. If i could have only one, I would definitely go with the Ava tiered silk-organza and silk-satin gown, which seems to be sold-out. Yet, I’m an optimistic person. What are you planning on doing for New Years Eve? Where are you going to celebrate? Have you decided what your going to wear? Please do share, I would love to get some more ideas.
