And the 2014 CFDA Fashion Icon Award Goes To…

And the 2014 CFDA Fashion Icon Award goes to…

RRCFDA14.jpg

Rihanna is wearing a custom Adam Selman fishnet dress, that was hand embellished with over 216,000 Swarovski crystals.

It’s no surprise that Rihanna won the 2014 CFDA Fashion Icon Award.  She can pretty much put on anything and make it work.  Love it or hate it, whatever she wears, she “OWNS” it.

“The dress is just fishnet and crystals and a couple of fingers crossed.” ~ Designer Adam Selman.

“As far as I could remember, fashion has always been my defense mechanism. Even as a child I remember thinking, She can beat me, but she cannot beat my outfit." ~ Rihanna

“As far as I could remember, fashion has always been my defense mechanism. Even as a child I remember thinking, she can beat me, but she cannot beat my outfit.”
~ Rihanna

We all know that Rihanna has worn her fair share of revealing outfits on and off stage, so lasts nights dress was no shock factor. I can’t think of too many people that can pull off this look.  Like everything else, I’m sure there will be cheap imitations of this dress making it’s  way  down the fashion chain.

Rihanna was’t the only one who stole the show at the 2014 CFDA Fashion Awards with her 216,000 Swarovski crystal sheer dress.  I loved Solange’s look (of course.)  Naomi Campbell looked stunning as usual (work it Ms. Campbell.) Joan’s dress was cute and fun. Lupita once again, nailed it. I love the color blocking she has going on.  Last but not least 2 Broke Girls star Beth bares her midriff in a green crop top and flowing skirt. I love green, it’s  a color that compliments a lot of people’s skin tone. 

Are you feeling Rihanna’s dress? Was it a fashion fav or a fashion fail?

    Rihanna is a great woman who can fit to any style of fashion but I believe this dress was doing a lot more than needed.

Cute is not enough, bestie. Does it fit your style? Does it work with your closet? Can you wear it five different ways? These are the questions we’re asking before fall shopping. #fashionstyledetroit #fallfashion #anthropologie

I hear so many people say, “I don’t really have the budget to shop right now.”

And guess what? You don’t have to.

You do not need to constantly buy new clothes to be stylish. Style is about what you do with what you already have…like mixing pieces differently, playing with accessories, trying new combinations, and actually wearing what’s in your closet.

Your budget might say “no shopping right now,” but that doesn’t mean your style has to be put on pause.

This is your reminder that the right outfit can change your whole mood. I started feeling myself, found a cute little corner, and somehow a mini photo shoot popped off.  #fashionstyledetroit #style

Since ya girl is a certified sweetaholic (sugar addict if you will), trust me when I say… this was GOOD good. Listen, thank goodness this was on a Sunday because calories don’t count on the weekend and I will not be taking any further questions at this time. But this strawberry cheesecake from @nostalgiabakeries was totally WORTH IT.

Sometimes your photographer is 7 years old, the angles are questionable, and you’re just hoping she keeps you in the frame.  #fashionstyledetroit #ootd

If happiness had a color, it might just be pink. Here’s a little recap from an afternoon filled with movement, community, and good vibes at @fabletics with @detroitfinds313

I swear I can stand in front of a closet full of clothes and still have nothing to wear. Some days my brain just be like, “Nah.” That’s exactly why I love matching sets. Less thinking, less stress, and I still look put together.

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion… 

I wore my Apple Watch with every outfit for years. Then one day I realized not every outfit needs it.

Sometimes the best accessory is knowing when to leave one off.

#fashionstyledetroit 

Do you wear your Apple Watch with everything, or do you switch it up depending on the outfit?

Adulting is exhausting. Nights like this are necessary.

A reminder that I’m allowed to enjoy my life, too.

Work can have me tomorrow. Tonight belongs to me.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is leave the house. #fashionstyledetroit
