Material Girl: Madonna and daughter Lourdes New Clothing line

Material Girl: "A material girl, is a girl who's interested in fashion, who's interested in music, who's interested in fun, has a sense of humor, is an adventurous human being." - Madonna


Madonna and her beautiful daughter Lourdes have created a fashion forward clothing line affectionately titled "material girl". Yes, I know the line launched August 3, 2010, but I have had the pleasure of seeing first hand the pieces, as it is sold exclusively to Macy's. I like the idea that the line is being sold at Macy’s because Macy’s has the major accessibility factor across America (I recently took a part-time gig with Macy's and that's one of the brands I work with).






The clothing line is most definitely taking a nod to Madonna's 80's days, with a fresh modern twist from her daughter.“It’s not complicated. It’s dressing in layers. It’s not looking like you took too much time thinking about what you’re wearing.”





"Material Girl" is for the young, fly, and fashionable, offering accessories, footwear, and apparel. I love the line, it's super chic pieces that you can mix and match, and did I mention the price point is amazing. Items are priced from $12-$40 dollars, so to all my budget friendly fashionista's this is the line for you. Take a look at the video below of Madonna talking about "Material Girl."

Date Night Makeup & Wardrobe Ideas...

Date nights are always fun whether it be with your new boo, your long time lover or a blind date. What isn't so fun is picking out the perfect outfit, or putting the finishing touches on your makeup for that grand occasion. Don't fret my darling fashionista's, check out these great makeup and wardrobe tips for any date night.



For any date, keep it super simple and highlight one feature at a time. I'm almost postivie that NO guy in the world wants to sit next to or across from "bozo the clown." Apply foundation, or powder as you normally would, add a little Va-Va-boom with a thickening mascara like COVER GIRL Lash Blast and a matte or creamy lipstick like MAC Chatterbox. Add a glow to your face with a little blush and bronzer on your cheeks, and there you have it, a simple,easy and fun date night look.







Yes it can be hard to pick the perfect outfit when going on a date (especially if it's a blind date) and you want to make a good impression - since first impression's are the LASTING ones!



Blind Date: Go all out! Make sure to ask where you guys will be going on the date, that plays a big part in your ensemble. I'm sure that your potential suitor is going to lay it out for you! Take a que from pop princess Rihanna and pair a fitted dress, with a blazer and pumps or shoe booties. Now that the weather has cool down, this will be a great look for your first date.







Date Night with the New Boo: Since this is technically the "honeymoon" phase, looking good and well put together is still a big deal. Go the simple and chic route with cut off shorts, a graphic tee, heels and a show stopping jacket al-la Beyonce!







Also try a micro-mini paired with one of Fall's hottest trends a leather Bomber jacket, to complete the look add a pair of strappy sandals (if your like me in Miami where the weather is still warm enough) knee boots, or thigh high boots.







Date Night with your Long Time Lover: Being fashionable and looking your best is always a plus, and your significant other will definitely appreciate it. Although you and your beau have been together it seems like "FOREVER" doesn't mean that your date night outfit has to lack effort and luster. Take a more comfortable approach to date night, pair oxford flats, or a cute pair of ballet flats with tights, and a flowy top.







Pair these date night looks with a side of confidence and a smile and I'm sure there will be more dates to come!

Real Style!!

Normally when attending my University(Florida International University) I rarely see fashionable people, with the exception of myself and a selective handful! Today was different, as I breezed through the student union, I ran across this dapper dude, so of course I had to snap a photo! The Urban gentlemen paired tailor skinny leg trousers with a blue and white stripe shirt, with a blue,red and white pattern bow tie, for a great contrast. The Black shoes with black and white striped socks, gave the outfit a nice compare and contrast with the colors above, and to complete his look, chic bracelets and wavier glasses. Salute to this dapper dude, and his real style, such a refresh look.
