Hello my style stars. It has been a very overwhelming, exhausting and unpredictable year to say the least. Although I love to write about fashion, food and great finds, the  pandemic has definitely halted my activities and shoppping. My work dresses have been replaced with athleisure wear and chic masks. Besides, who cares what I wear when I go to the market for almond milk. We have more important things to think about.

Since the holidays are here, there is no better time than now to support black businesses and try some incredible products. I want to highlight some of the incredible black owned businesses that I have supported throughout the year.

Leather Masks

Now, no one thought masks would be apart of our day to day wear. Masks are as important as your wallet and keys. You can not leave home without it. So, why not be safe and fashionable. Designer  Laurence Basse, who I first learned about during season 15 on Project Runway,  is a leather genius. Her leather clothing and accessories are incredibly crafted and just gorgeous. Her masks are beautiful, breathable and stylish. Check out my purple beauty and other masks below. You can find more of her leather designs at laurencebasse.com.

SKIN CARE

I love taking good care of my skin. Since I’m not wearing makeup every day, it is easy to layer my face in oils and potions. One product that has helped with my stubborn dark spots is Earthern  Escapes dark spot corrector with green tea. This oil is excellent for difficult facial blemishes. Use the product day and night for better results. This Houston based black owned brand only uses natural products. Check out the entire line at Earthernescapes. 

Makeup Must Haves

Ok stars, now that your skin is clear, why not try some great makeup brands. I recently found Mented cosmetics. This branded was started by two friends who were searching for better nude lip options. They wanted to focus high pigMented colors that are paraben free and vegan. My favorite item so far is the Every day eyeshadow palette. Where has this been all my life? These colors are a brown girl’s best friend. The kit includes lush golds and rust that really compliment one’s skin tone. Gorgeous!

Another brand  I  absolutely love is Glamazon beauty cosmetics. The founder,  Kim Baker, is a former model and make-up artist. She wants all women to feel beautiful. Her beauty expertise is clear when you see all the beautiful colors and skin shades. No woman is left out. Kim has got you covered. Second Skin Foundation is my pick for any woman who wants more coverage. It really feels and looks like your skin. Another makeup bag must.

Food Favorites

Of course, I have to mention two of my favorite local food sources. I love sweet potato pie and this brand found in Shoprite supermarkets throughout New Jersey never disappoints. Mr. Tod’s pies are the best sweet potatoe pies you can buy. They are delicious. With hints of vanilla, nutmeg and magic you’d think you were sitting in your grandmother’s kitchen. Honestly, they are better. No shade grandma. Entrepreneur and baker Tod Wilson was the 1st winner of Shark Tank. Even the sharks knew this was something special. And, he ships. He offers other desserts too.  Go to  MRTODS.com 

So, how did a cake save a home? Huh? Well, my next favorite black owned dessert is a true lesson in using one’s talent and having faith things will work out. Angela Logan of  Mortgage Apple Cakes started her business when she needed additional money to pay her mortgage. She knew people loved her cakes. And, with friends urging her, Angela began selling her cakes.  Now, 11 years later, she has a successful business in Teaneck, NJ, which ships nationwide.

The signature cake, Mortgage Apple Cake, is truly delicious. A step above any carrot cake you will ever find. She also makes a great apple rum cake. It’s boozy heaven sent deliciousness! Many other desserts are available too. Go to maccakes.com

Catering Queens

My next black owned business that I truly love are two sisters who can truly throw down in the kitchen.  Charcuterie catering is a business owned by two West coast chefs that happen to be sisters, Shena and Frances.  They do it all. From savory dishes like truffle mac and cheese  to cheese cakes, these ladies have you covered. The cheesecakes are amazingly delicious and there are a variety of flavors.  I love them and you will too. If you’re in the New York/New Jersey area, I suggest you book these incredible caterers quickly. You can find them on Instagram at Charcuterie catering.  

Hope everyone supports these incredible black owned businesses. I will continue to keep my style star sisters aware of others. Here’s to an incredible new year. Let’s keep these businesses thriving.

Your Style star sister,

Natasha

Hello, my Style Star Sisters. Yes, I admit I absolutely love the fall season. The plethora of fabulous jackets, wraps, leathers, and suedes are definitely among my favorite pieces to wear on those brisk days. I think outerwear is by far one of the most important pieces to invest in. Think about it! You have several months to play with textures, shapes, colors and lengths. The options are endless. 

Fashion icons …How to dress like your                            style icons

 Recently, we lost one of my favorite actresses, Diahann Carroll.  

Even at a young age while watching Julia, I was mesmerized by her classic, sophisticated style, and her ever-present confidence. Besides my beautiful mother, (pic below)

Brenda, who had endless sophistication and style, and Diana Ross, I always wanted to emulate them and show up as my best self. So, I started thinking what would my beloved style icons wear this season? I have selected a few fabulous lux and affordable pieces that are sure to turn heads even on a chilly day.  

                       Fee-Fi Faux Fur

I absolutely love a swing coat. It is hands down my go-to favorite accessory for fall. Check out this lovely faux wrap.

 I think going with the navy is best. I can see all my ladies rocking this lovely Ellen Tracy wrap coat. This is a great piece for chilly days. I’m sure my mom and Ms. Carroll would approve. It can be found on the Lord & Taylor site for around $180. 

                    Fabulous tweeds

I love the classic Chanel tweed jackets. I want them all! St. John knits are the best to show timeless sophistication. Unless you find these luxury pieces at a really good consignment shop or designer sale, you will pay thousands. Don’t fret my style stars. You can easily find great lookalikes for a fraction of  the cost. Check out my selections below. 

This Zara find is $129 and great for an office party or night out.

 If you want to splurge on some designer finds, I think St. John’s is a smart choice. 

 This St. John metallic tweed jacket is over $400. It’s truly gorgeous.  You can wear this with pants, a skirt, or jeans. Sometimes style stars, a luxury item is a good investment if you can wear it for many seasons and several ways. 

This St. John’s knit jacket I saw this past weekend at Off Saks Fifth Avenue. It is on sale now for $729.99. 

Now,  back to more affordable finds. 

This is one of my favorite finds. A faux chinchilla wrap is perfect. And, check out the price of $79.99. A real bargain. 

The options are plentiful if you want to dress like a diva. Remember, you don’t  have to go broke to look like a million bucks. 

Your Style Star Sister,

Natasha

Well, style stars no need to pull out your hair extensions. I have the answer for your next wardrobe and her name is Beverley Olivacce. 

Beverley Olivacce 

I had the pleasure of watching the creative magic of Beverley Olivacce at her champagne flowing show. This lovely London born designer knows exactly what every woman should have in her closet. Her pieces are sophisticated, ultra- feminine and timeless. I will share some of my favorite pieces.  

Casual Elegance

I loved the white casual denim suit styled with a glittery top. This can easily be worned day or night. Check out the belted trench coat and trench dress.  Always a timeless piece every woman should own.  

This cute lbd has side cut outs. It can be worn with sneakers, but a black sandal  will elevate this look. 

LUXE 

Beverley Olivacce is known for her evening wear. And, she did not disappoint with her colorful silk dresses and fur trimmed pieces. 

These dresses are truly timeless and sophisticated. So, style star sisters, checkout Beverley Olivacce’s collection for some of the best luxury dresses around. Go to http://www.BeverleyOlivacce.com and get holiday ready ladies!

Hello Style Star Sisters. Wow, the end of the year has come again. We can now look forward to those holiday parties. But, are you ready? Well, I have found some great holiday  looks that are not only gorgeous, but pocket friendly. And, you will still have money left for those last minute gifts. 

 Fringe/Faux Fur 

This sexy body-conscious dress I found on the Venus site.  This reminds me of the bodycon Herve Leger dresses that sell for more than $600. The fringe at the bottom gives a flirty and fun look. It’s great for a New Year’s eve party. Plus, Style Star Sisters who wouldn’t  want to channel their inner Tina Turner and shimmy their way into the new year. I sure do! For about $69, you can.  Of course, there are different colors available. 

Put a little sexy in your LBD. This off the shoulder mini dress is also found on the Venus site. I liked the faux fur trim above the breast area. A daring look for a basic black dress.  This is just $49. 

Jay Godrey

One of my favorite designers is Jay Godfrey. He just gets how a woman wants to look. His design approach is very feminine, not overly sexy, with a touch of sophistication. 

I selected a few of my favorite looks that can be worned now or any time of the year. 

Now, nothing says holiday more than a velvet dress. As you can see in my above pic, I love a velvet dress. It looks luxurious and the warmth is great for a cold night. 

Ok, this romper is sexy times 10. Jay Godfrey’s tuxedo style top is more formal, but the bottom is a head turner.  The sequins always scream Happy New Year! 

And, for those of us who want a pop of color, the cherry red dress below is a great look any time. You can not go wrong with a one shoulder dress and slit. All of these looks range from $200 and above. But, Style Star Sisters, you can find a lot of Jay Godfrey looks on discounted sites like Shopstyle and Revolve. 

Shoes/Accessories

There is a company that I love for festive accessories and shoes. Nina is a known  bridal accessory brand, but trust me Style Star Sisters, their shoes and accessories are wearable for any occasion. I have a few of my favorite pieces that you can get now on the Nina site. 

Talk about haute couture. These booties are great and the details can rival any of the more expensive designers. For $139, you can rock these all season long. 

The slouchy sequin boot is so fashion forward. Honestly, I would wear these boot with jeans and a great faux fur. On sale now on Nina’s site for $83. 

Now, a great purse can make an outfit. I love this animal printed clutch from Nina. This must have clutch is $85. 

 

The Minaudiere clutch below is made of all crystals. The purse is a great accessory for any dress. It comes in a variety of colors too. This can be purchased for $65.  

As you can see my Style Star Sisters, there are so many great outfits and accessories available for your holiday parties and beyond. So, choose quality pieces that can be worn again and again. From the Style Star Sisters, happy holidays! May 2019 be your stylish year ever. 

Your Style Star Sister, 

Natasha

Ok, Style Star Sisters, it’s officially the season for all your coats, wraps, and boots. Now, I have always been a fan of fur.  I admired how my mom (featured photo) would get herself together for work or nights out with my dad. She wore the best coats and I could not wait to get my hands on them. (Pic of mom below)

Fast forward to 2018 and I must admit some of the faux furs are so beautifully designed that you would think they were the real thing. Bold colors, patterns and low cost are much more attractive than the real coats. Further, no animals are harmed in the process.

I have selected a few fabulous fun faux furs to add to your fall/winter collection.

Bold Patterns

This colorful patterned coat is the Stine Goya Concord. This faux retails for $580. I would pair this bold piece with a pair of black leggings and ankle booties. Just sashay and let the coat speak for you.

I don’t know about you, my Style Star Sisters, but I never get tired of animal print anything. This color block coat from Heurueh combines color and a sharp razor cut design. So, take a walk on the wild side with this bold piece. You can find the coat for $528.00 on line.

Check out the same colors by designer Apparis below. This is the Brigette faux fur. This fun chubby jacket is great for the weekend. Hello brunch date here I come! At $210, you’ll have some coins left for unlimited mimosas.   

Color Me Fabulous  

Color is key this season. And, deep forest green is the stand out color for many designers. I love this coat by Madelyn. The fullness is great for those cold winter days. It captures a more luxurious look. And, it comes in hot pink. Go to Ashro.com where you can get it for $209.99.

Purple has  always been a very regal color. This plush faux bomber by designer Tibi adds a fun sporty edge to any wardrobe. You can find this online for $395.00.

My last favorite style copies the very popular knitted fur jackets. It’s sophisticated, yet understated look can carry you from day to night. For just $189.00, you can find the Rosa faux fur from Heartloom on the Nordstrom website.

Oh, I can go on and on Style Stars. But, find one that fits your style. There’s alot to choose from. Ok, about to place my order. Until next time my Style Star Sisters. But remember before you press, “place my order”, do a little research.

Your Style Star Sister,

Natasha

Ok my Style Star Sisters, we are officially in the fall season. And, I must admit I love the transition from summer dresses to jackets, wraps, and boots. This season I noticed a trend with the color white. That’s right, white! For years, fashion mags and stylists warned us to stay away from white after Labor day.  Let’s just say, throw that rule out.  Embrace white as if it’s the new black. While you consider this color trend, I found a few pieces on how to mix white into your fall looks.

DRESSES 

I really love this dress from AQ/AQ. This is called the Pembroke midi structured dress. I love the sexy details. It really does have a great architectural look. At $162.50, this would be great for dinner or a holiday party.

Now, AQ/AQ has another sexy white dress that I will have to grab before it’s sold out. This dress below is called the Aphaea one sleeve mini dress for $156.00.

I would pair this with a high heel bootie as shown below.

For those who just want to add a little white to your ensemble opt for a cool bootie. I happen to love what the designer Schultz has for the season. This bootie has a great silver metal toe and a cowboy cut  detail. This adds a fresh sophisticated look. Available on line now at Schultz. 

Rosangela bootie

 Hayden 

This is another Schultz find called the Hayden. The lower heel is still sexy, but the stitched detail is eye catching. Available for $300 now on line.

 

Weekend Max Mara coat

This is the splurge item from Max Mara. I love the cream color, sleek collar, and belt.  The classic and sophisticated piece is timeless. This above item is called the Gimmy wool belted coat. At $850, it may be a great investment piece.

Etsy 

Of course as a budget fashion gal, I found a great affordable white coat with a wide collar and belt. This is very stylish. Honestly, I like it more than the Max Mara coat. At $179.50, you don’t have to go broke to look fabulous. Just check Etsy or to Constantine fashion. 

Venus

I happen to like Venus’ white coat  with faux leather details. Now, this is such a specific piece that I wouldn’t wear it every day. But, for just $69.99, it goes well with leggings and boots. This is a cute look on a sunny fall day.

Jumpsuits

I am in love with this jumpsuit. The slight wide legs and belt adds a sophisticated sexy look. You can find this cool classy jumpsuit on the Maykool website for just $25.99.

Another great jumpsuit I found has an attached cape. The details are amazing. One would think you spent alot. But, this is only $35.95 and can be found on the ChicMe site.

So my style stars, I say go for white stand out pieces. Be bold and remember, you don’t have to break the bank to look fabulous!

Your Style Star Sister,

Natasha

Bag Ladies

Hello my Style star sisters. Yes, Spring has sprung and the April showers have long worn out its welcome. Now, the good weather has come just in time for Memorial weekend. Break out those flowy dresses, sandals, and great accessories. I must admit I’ve always loved great accessories and this season does not disappoint. What I’m most excited about are the hand bags. Yes! What woman does not love a great well-made leather, suede, printed, fur, faux fur, round or square shaped bag? Whew! I can go on and on. But, I’d rather show you some of my favorite hand bag trends for this season. 

                      Handle With Care

Ok, so I’m fell in love with the Gucci Dionysus bag. The bamboo round handle really makes this pricey gem a stand out. So, classic and sophisticated. But, the price? This bag retails at close to $2,000 depending on the material and hardware. 

Of course, as a budget star and fashion investigator  (my new term), I will not and can not buy this bag. But, no worries. I recently bought the most fabulous well-made leather bag that resembles the Dionysus bag. I took a chance by ordering this bag direct from Italy. It arrived less than a week later and I was beyond pleased.

Fabrizio Leather Bag 

This bag is sooo beautifully crafted. The handles are real bamboo. The smell of new leather hits me immediately when I opened the box. It also comes with a letter of authenticity and a very nice storage bag. For just $169 plus shipping you can get this gem at www.florenceleathermarket.com

               Circles and Rings Galore 

I happen to love all the different shaped bags of this season. My absolute favorite is the circular handle bucket bag by Simon Miller. This lovely bag comes in many different colors and handles. The tortoise shell handles are what makes this bag special.  It’s priced at more than $300 and can be found at Barney’s or Nordstrom. 

But, I found this stylish circular handle bag at Nordstrom Rack for just $34.99. Style does not have to break the bank. 

                     I like Transparency 

Ok, I had to think about this for a moment. A bag where anyone can see all my personal stuff. Lipstick, oils, potions and those sometimes embarrassing items we don’t like to talk about. But, on second thought, I find some styles are cute and not too revealing.  All price ranges are available. This Staud Pvc leather tote cost $210. 

This pink bag is from Madison West. For just $34.99, you don’t have to display all your goodies since the bag is not fully transparent. 

I also found the brand Loeil has a great take on clear bag trends. Check out this lovely transparent bag. Sleek and sophisticated. Priced at $142. 

                     Not Your Average Bag

Cult Gaia does it right. This bag is so architecturally chic and interesting that many will double take at first glance. 

Tortoise shell Cult Gaia bag and other styles can be found on line from $200 and up. 

As you can see my style star sisters, the hand bag selections are endless this season. And, remember, with a little research you will find many affordable and timeless styles.

Your style star sister,

My Face.. What Happened to My Face?

  My Face.. What happened to my face? Well let licensed Aesthetician Nancy Ismail tell it (Hey let’s just call her magic hands for short), my face has dealt with the daily punishment that all of our beautiful faces have been put through.  Let’s see: grimy pollution, never ending life’s stress, chemically harsh beauty products.  Don’t forget that sneaky deceitful issue of aging -UGH!, and oh yes this horribly long brutally cold winter/spring.

Unknown-3.jpeg

  So when my StyleStarSister Natasha and I were offered the chance to review some of the services at the oh-so-chic and high end Shimmer Med Spa, my cute dirty little make-up clogged face jumped at the chance.

O2 FACIAL

  What was she doing to my face? Well Magic Hands started with the O2 (as in Oxygen) facial. See those foaming creamy bubbles cleaning, clearing, clarifying.

  Nancy aka Magic Hands is actually the Spa Director at Shimmer Med Spa located at 9 East 62nd Street- off of posh 5th Avenue.

6De1sXjYasDyzqU7.jpg

  She has been making customer’s skin look like they did as a toddler for 18 years. This foaming facial felt amazing but what it’s doing- even better.  The oxygen bubbles enhances blood circulation, making my skin tone clear.  The O2 facial lightens, hydrates, and provides the always needed anti-aging effect.

TIGHTENING FACIAL

  But wait there’s more. She puts this gel on my face, like the gel you get on your tummy during an ultrasound.  Then she takes this  device about the size of a blow dryer called VIORA 20.  It actually adds a radio frequency to tighten and improve my skin elasticity. Again that toddler skin- remember how plump and buoyant, smooth, and kissable it was.

.

AFTER

WELL VIOLA.. OK HERE’S THE RESULT. MAGIC HANDS CALLS IT A GLOW..

  Up next our review of Shimmer Med Spa’s most intriguing service: The Sculpsure- it’s their fat melting technology – consider it a fat burner!

  We also sat down for an exclusive interview with Dr. George Lefkovits.

Unknown-2.jpeg

  Yes this spa has a renown plastic surgeon on the premise. Dr. Lefkovits will tell us all about stubborn belly fat, and how in most cases he can melt it all away.. just in time for the warm weather.  Finally!

Till next time!  CIAO STYLESTARS!

Trends Go Buy Bye

Hello my style star sisters. I must admit we all get sucked into designers forecast about style trends. We all want to look chic and fashionable. Yet, some trends need to go away or left on the racks in our local mall.   But, we buy them anyway promising ourselves that one day we will wear it. Guilty!   

Today, I want to share my thoughts on what latest makeup trend or clothing fads to ditch this fall. Trust me I own a few of these trendy terribles but as a card player says you got to know when to fold em, know when to walk away. 

 SQUIGGLY EYEBROWS

capture40

These-squiggly-eyebrows-may-be-the-next-trend-Pictures-viviangist.com_.ng-7

Honestly, I don’t know why anyone would want their eyebrows to look like a circus clown. This is silly and not attractive. Please leave this so-called called makeup trend to the clowns.

PAJAMAS NOT FOR THE BEDROOM? 

Ok, I admit there is something sexy about a silky two-piece pajama set. Nice bold color or print. But, do I want to look like I just jumped out of bed ?  Oh and what about the grease stain from the slice of pizza you had at midnight or was it the glass of wine. Anyway, I think some designers are soo wrong about this trend. 

u2ab6r-l

It still looks silly even on a 5’10 tall model. I vote to keep this in the boudoir. What are your thoughts? Should you risk riding the iron horse in your pjs?

 HOLEY TOPS 

I admit I think there’s something sexy about a pair of holey or slashed pair of jeans and heels. This shows a stylish I don’t give a damn vibe. However, I think the holey tops should be left to our Saturday cleaning. 

Nah, sorry I still think you can be casual and well out together as shown below. A nice jacket will always make a casual outfit like jeans and basic tee pop. 

Bell Sleeves  

There’s nothing I love more than dramatic pieces that are bold and inspiring. And, sleeves over the years have gone through many fabulous changes. I’m still a die hard fan of doman sleeves. After seeing Diana Ross in Mahogany, I became obsessed with the look. But, I ain’t got love for bell sleeves. This look may be feminine but honestly I don’t want to look like a flamenco dancer. 

I love the newer sleeve options like the cold shoulder or one sleeve trend (as shown below) is a good alternative to add the sexy. So, remember my style stars don’t go broke spending your hard earned money on impulse purchases. Buy smart and know when to say bye to a look.

Your style star sister,

Natasha  

Focus on Fall

Blätter-bunt

Hi style star sisters. Im baccck! There’s soo much going on here and worldwide that it’s good to sometimes escape and put the focus elsewhere like your fall clothing transition. Those cool morning breezes and strong winds may be the remnants of the horrific hurricane patterns throughout the country. I think it’s fall telling us to retire our flip flops and cold shoulder tops. Well, put the the flip flops away for next season because there are some great looks to look forward to.

BOMBER JACKETS

This look is not new but it’s has been updated from the military green bomber jacket we’re familiar with. Now ladies we have bold feminine patterns and silky textures. Take a look below at some of the bomber trends.

This is a mid price sexy off the shoulder bomber jacket from BCBG I found on line for over $100. Love the bold pattern.

MSM4J788_U44Of course,  as a style star who loves a good deal, I found many other cute bombers at other stores like JCP for under $50.00.6877020DP0503201700225174M

RED LOVE AFFAIR

Well, style stars, most designers have fallen back in love with the color red. I must admit you have to really commit fully to this color if you plan to wear a full on red assemble like shown below from Fendi. I love the fitted coat and sleek boots.

Fendi show, Runway, Autumn Winter 2017, Milan Fashion Week, Italy - 23 Feb 2017

Another gorgeous I want it right now red explosion from Fendi. 3ffb53cea5f02405e818c500482e9f60--red-fashion-fashion-check

red-02.nocrop.w710.h2147483647.2x

If you are bold enough for head to toe red looks as shown above . This is how you do it. Flawless!

For those of us who do not spend our days trotting down runways in complete red looks, I suggest adding a pop of red with a great bag or shoes.

These two bags are great for work days since they can fit many items.

I love these Steve Madden shoes that are a dead ringer for the pricey Altuzarra shoe. The red stretchy boot from Madden is a great look for pants and dresses.  Looking good does not have to break your budget. Both looks can be found for less than $130.00.

FURS and FEATHERS

Ok I admit, I love the colored faux fur and sherlings many stores are carrying now. Also, feathers and shimmy dresses are in season. I  have a cute shimmy dress I bought 2 years ago for a Halloween party. I wanted to embody Tina Turner. It’s good to know I will be able to wear this again. What do you think? FB_IMG_1506438734503

Here are a few looks for the fall season that will help you spark you inner Tina and glam goddess.

These feathered looks were featured looks for fall.

Above featured ostrich skirt from Line & Dot found at Revolve for $70. This skirt will have you doing a shimmy all night long. This cute purse or bottie can add a flirty sexy vibe to any outfit. The purse is from International Concepts for $25.

So, my style star sisters,  I hope this fall you find your inner glam goddess. Make the looks your own by trying one of the hot looks featured. See you all on the concrete runway!

Your style sister,

Natasha
