    It's officially Fall! Mrs. Autumn if you're nasty. Lol. Just kidding! As we all know fashion repeats itself all the time. But we have to know when to repeat certain trends, right!?! I don't want to see any of you rockin' exaggerated bell bottom jeans this season. Yes, fashion is about self expression and you can rock whatever you wanna...but if you want to rock the hottest trends...stick to this list. I've studied New York Fashion Week videos, browsed my favorite websites and magazines, stalked all my celebrity fashion crushes, and of course explored my own personal style. Again, this list will not come as a surprise because most of the items listed are the same ones I listed on my trend report last year! Lol. So check out the list, print it to browse your own walk-in closet, or take it with you thrift store shopping, online shopping and even shopping in stores! It will come in handy...thank me later.

Addicted2Candi STYLE MAIL: All White Everything Just Married Style

Addicted2Candi STYLE MAIL: All White Everything Just Married Style

    A reader of www.addicted2candi.com wrote in for us to style a look for her in November after her wedding. She wanted to wear "all white everything" but didn't want to rock another dress. So here is the look I came up with for her. I think its perfect because its a fitted suit with a peplum detail. Also, the top is white but there is lace to give this look some texture. You should find ways to play with texture whenever you wear all of one color. There has to be some type of flair added to the look. The lace did that! And of course gold compliments white the best in my opinion. And pointy pumps are back in style and look the best with these fitted trousers! What do you think of this look? And please give congrats to the bride to be, Yolanda Hines! Click here for additional details on the items.

    Chanel Iman is so beautiful...OMG, absolutely stunning! The young model was recently seen in New York City at a photoshoot rocking a very rocker chic look. The stylist paired a mini bodycon dress with a red leather moto jacket, quilted ankle booties, a sleek black bag, and silver jewelry! Her hair is flawless and so is the makeup. And ladies...this dress is super short but for some reason this chick makes this 'fit look so feminine, classy and sexy all at the same time. This is how you do it! Lol. You can wear this combo on a date, a night out with your girls or even if you just want to look fierce on a shopping trip by yourself! I've styled a look for less for you below. All items are very affordable too...just like I love them to be! What do you think of Chanel's NYC look!?! Don't forget to leave a comment!

    I know you remember back in the day the fellas use to rock the hell out of their authentic basketball jerseys! Lol. And as soon as it "wasn't cool" anymore they put them away. What did they do with all those damn jerseys!?! I mean every dude had at least 3 or more! Lol. With the matching sneakers and all. Don't worry...they aren't back in style yet. But I have spotted a few fashionistas rocking football jersey dresses...and look fab too! I personally love the trend...not sure how much it will catch on...but whatever. We do what we want when it comes to style, right!?! I didn't style any basketball jerseys but these are more of a football jersey style. I think this trend is so much fun because you can be sporty and chic! Its the perfect combination that will make your outfit go from ordinary to BAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMM! LOL. I've style a few looks for you below to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
    Now tell us...would you rock a jersey like this?

Street Style: Cassie Rockin Homies Sweatshirt

Street Style: Cassie Rockin Homies Sweatshirt

    Yayyyy! Cassie's back! I love her style soooooo much but she is rarely spotted out. Every once in awhile when she has a project out she shows her face. She's been in LA working a new mixtape Rock-A-Bye Baby, which is scheduled to be released on April 11. Cassie rocked a very popular Homies sweatshirt which is by Brian Lichtenberg. It's inspired by Hermes of course. Celebrities have been showing off the new design and I love it. We can now add Cassie to the list. With her top she added some leather pants, dark sunglasses, bamboo earrings (totally obsessed with those btw), some other gold jewelry, white sneakers, and an over sized bag. I love this entire look. It's definitely street style with a diva edge. If you love this look too, I've recreated it for less below! Check it out and leave a comment- what do you think of Cassie's overall style!?!

Fashion Win or FAIL?: Kim Kardashian's Pregnancy Style

Fashion Win or FAIL?: Kim Kardashian’s Pregnancy Style

03/25/2013  |  No Comments

    Kim Kardashian's stylist is wrong for this one. I just want to know why her shirt is soooo tight and her skirt is soooooooooo high!?! It makes her look shorter and her boobs look HUGE! I don't even think its flattering for her legs. The concept is cute but it just didn't work out. She looks so uncomfortable to me. I'm not really feeling her hair either. The bangs are weird with the thin longer pieces on each side; and the bun just looks limp and sad. Y'all know I usually love all the looks I post on here and I really tell the truth about my thoughts on it...not to be negative but to just give my opinion. We can learn from celebrity style do's and don'ts! Lol. This look would probably look great on a very thin tall person...and more importantly a person who is NOT pregnant. This is definitely not a preggers look! So for those who aren't pregnant and love this look, I've created a look for less. And please let me repeat...this is a dope overall outfit but not so much on a pregnant Kim K. Yep, I said it!

    Ciara was recently (March 21st) spotted in NYC leaving a building in midtown...I'm sure its business like most celebs are always doing! I can't wait to be like that!?!? Seems like so much hard work but fun! Lol. Anyway...the R&B singer rocked a Givenchy bomber jacket paired with a black sweater, leather leggings, a pair of pointy platform ankle booties, a clutch, and a dope Jesus piece. And let's not forget her hair pulled back and that bold purple lipstick. Who would even think its officially spring!?! This is definitely a fall look! But overall, its very cute! If you are feeling this look, keep scrolling to see the look for less all mapped out for you! And leave a comment, does Ciara look like love is in the air!?!

    Rihanna was spotted leaving her bestie/boo Chris Brown place in LA. Oooooohhhhhhhhhh! Lol. The edgy star was rocking a Christopher Kane Floral Paint Print Blouse ($392), black skinny trousers, gold accessories, Manolo Blahnik Suede BB Pumps ($595), a Dolce & Gabbana Dolce bag, sunglasses, and let's not forget about that hair! Are we back on the "Cassie shaved side" look again!?! Cassie said she is never growing her hair back so I guess this style is here to stay just like Amber Rose's shaved look. The stand out piece other than her hair is this floral blouse. It's so bold! Also take note how she is rocking her necklace under her blouse collar. This is a trend that everyone is doing this season. Are you motivated to try this look? Check out the style motivation look below and share your thoughts!

    Rita Ora is chilling! Lol. She was spotted at Shepherds Bush Empire in London UK looking very comfortable. But her stand out piece is definitely her dope, DKNY Exclusively for Opening Ceremony Spring '91 Jean Shank T ($145)! I waaaaaaannnntttttttttt itttttttttttttt! Uhhhh! But damn, $145! That's kray. Lol. Rita paired this tee with blue leather leggings, a black bomber jacket, a leather hat, a framed tote, some odd sneakers and no make-up! I accidentally did that today. Uhhh! It was not fun! People were looking at me like I was crazy because they are use to me being all glam! Lol. I should have rocked shades all day to prevent the unwanted comments..."you like tired." "Are you feeling ok?" *rolls eyes* Anyway...back on subject...Rita...she looks very laid back and if you like this look we've recreated it below.

    Yayyyy! Another menswear inspired look! I freakin' love Jay! Lol. He is soooo dope! One thing that I love about him is he always stays true to his signature street wear style. He literally dresses the same as he always has no matter how much money he has. I mean the price and quality is different but overall, its the same style he always had. Jay is wearing an Acne College Global Sweatshirt ($190) and Nike Air Force 180 Mid Sneakers ($130). He was spotted rocking this ''fit at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood. The 'fit is simple, he added some gray khaki pants, a leather belt...and that's it! Simple enough, right!?! The sneakers are so dope- they come in other colors too. Ladies are you motivated to give this look a try?
