The Cherry on top!!

Looking good is key but to go along with that is the "cherry on top" is smelling great!! Some scents that we are looking into indulge in is:

• Pulse, Beyonce
• Chance, Chanel
• Connected Kenneth Cole Reaction, Kenneth Cole
• Micheal Kors Gold, Micheal Kors
• Wild Pear, Naomi Campbell
• Dais, Marc Jacobs

Who doesn't love all those pretty bottles as well! Just remember to make sure you love the scent and it works for your body and the season. Some scents can be overwhelming.

Key to putting on perfume is not to drown yourself in it. Just dab some on your neck, behind your ears, and on your wrist. 

What are some of your favorite perfumes or perfumes your looking forward to?

Chocolate Pearls: Pearls of Wisdom

Fur...fur...fur!!!

I am beyond excited about this trend for fall/winter! This is a trend that has been on and off glam for years. I always thought the trend was beautiful on others, but not myself. When I was younger I would not be caught dead in fur because I associated with the rich, famous and glamorous life. That type of lifestyle I did not live so I adored the the trend from afar. 

Now I am in my 20's I have grown! I have been more in tuned of who I am. Where I want to go and I have a different confidence and ere about me. I have realized I am glam just on a budget -- I don't want a real animal on my back anyways. I have come to the conclusion that I can do whatever I want, wear whatever, and do it 20 times better because I am true to me!!

This season represents my glam!!

I encourage everyone to try something new for the season and don't be discouraged! My pearl of wisdom of the month!!! 

Be on the look out of me and my fur!!!

Part 3 - Traveling Series

From google.com (love this pic)

Trends straight from what I call the Mother Land:

Many countries in Africa are continuing to fight to stay in the international spotlight of fashion.  You are seeing more African fashion designers at New York fashion week and they are having a direct influence on the trends. Love to see more shades of color in the fashion shows as well.

The popular ARISE Magazine has successfully brought Africa's fashion to the forefront and is  great source of what is going on in Africa's fashion world. Many celebrities and past great models support and has graced their presence on the magazine, such as: Naomi Campbell, Jay -Z, Alek Wek, Denzel Washington, and more. This has given international recognition that has helped this magazine explode. Check it out: Arise Magazine

Designers such as Anisa Mpungwe with Loin Cloth and Ashes really has the fashion world buzzing. Her collections and skill of art are amazing. Looking at the collection you instantly want to have what the model has on. Her dresses are unique and Mpungwe gives a daring touch to the whole collection.  Check it out: loinclothandashes

What Chocolate Pearls is Loving from Africa:

• Head Wraps
• Tribal Print
• Bold Color (Mustard yellow, Vivid Purples, Olive greens, Deep Reds)
• Femininity (I am happy it is back)

You can easily add some of these trends to your personal style. Tribal print is exotic and can be worn a night on the town, brunch or even at work. If your nervous about print try using a bold color and match accordingly you don't want to look all over the place. You can can be bold and chic.
