M2Malletier Amor Fati leather shoulder bag


I just love this mint green M2Malletier Amor Fati Shoulder bag with gold hardware.  Perfect for the spring! Doesn't the color remind you of candy? M2Mallitier bags are recognized by their signature "needle handle" inspired by medivial armor and medical instruments.  This bag is very sleek, structured and sophisticated.

I have never been a fan of overdecorated bags and prefer simple, yet functional handbags which makes this bag very up my alley. The bag can serve as a clutch when the shoulder straps are removed. This bag is a great investment because it can be worn a lot of ways. I can see this paired with a lady like dress or with skinny jeans.   This bag retails for $1,880.  You can buy here or here

Top Three Oscar Gowns



Here are my top three looks from the 86th Annual OSCAR Red Carpet.  Lupita Nyong'o looked every bit a winner in the pale blue prada grecian style gown. Camilla Alves looked regal in her pale pink structured Gabriela Cadena custom dress while Cate Blanchett looked prim and proper in her Armani Prive gown. Who were your faves on the Red Carpet?

Peace & Love,

Ifeoma

Winter Blues




Hello Beautiful People,

I missed you all. I had some business to handle but I am back. This year's winter was so cold and snowy. It's still freezing outside but I decided to un-hibernate myself and take a few pictures. Look at me trying to look all cute, Lol. I know it is a bit impractical to wear such shoes with all the snow lol, lets save the winter boots for another post.

Most Memorable Oscar Gowns



The Oscars will take place Sunday so, I decided to share with you some of Cher's most memorable looks for the Oscars designed by costume designer Bob Mackie. Kudos to Cher for being a fashion rebel and wearing these statement dresses to the stuffy event. Mackie designed Cher's costumes for the Sony and Cher Comedy Hour in the 70's. He recently reunited with her to design costumes for her farewell tour last year.  What do you think will be the big trend at the Oscars?  


Peace and Love,

Ifeoma
