Fashion in Film: A Most Violent Year

As an ardent fan of the gangster genre, I was excited to see A Most Violent Year, directed and written

by J.C. Chandor. The film is set in New York City in 1981. It is about an immigrant business owner, Abel(Oscar Isaac) who is dealing with several crisis as he races to make the biggest deal of his career.  It follows Abel navigate the gray areas as he builds his empire and reputation on what he thinks are fair and honest priniciples in an industry where most of his competitors are either crooked or mobsters.

Hello my beautiful people,

How are your holiday preparations coming along?  I apologize for my disappearance. All due to a good reason though, the cold suddenly creeped up without notice. Since I missed you so much, I decided to brave the cold for photos.

After the Sunset

Howdy my beautiful people,

How is your day going?  As you can see, I'm still mad for plaid.

Good Morning Beauties and Gent,

This is my first fall post. Fall is finally here. The leaves are changing colors and the days are getting chilly. All signs that winter is fast approaching.

Polka Peplum Dress

Happy Friday Beauties and Gents,

I warned you that I have a thing for polka dots. I was quite excited when I found this dress. A few years back, I was devastated when a polka dot dress that I owned no longer fit.  Little did I know that I would run into this one.

Hello Beauties and Gents,

I hope you all had a great day. I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad, but today was the last day of summer. Fall actually begins tomorrow.  Double denim is a great transitional piece for the fall. For extra warmth put a faux fur vest or an oversized coat over it.

I ablsolutely love this H&M denim shirt that I purchased three summers ago. it's in frequent rotation in my closet since I wear it all the time. I wore it here & here. You can dress a denin shirt up or down. I'm yet to see double denim done bad. It never gets old. This time around I decided to pair it with my flowered denim skirt and pearl chocker. What do you think of this combo


Peace & Love,

Ifeoma
