Hi my style  star sisters! I hope you have all enjoyed your summer. Now, throw those flip flops in the back of the closet after you shake off the sand from St. Tropez. It’s time to get back to some serious business. Which, of course, is “What will I wear for fall and spring?” This is the question every fashionista asks themselves everyday. 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! 

Your style star sister,

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 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

Cvs finds, hansderma skincool ice roller, lipstick brush, moisturizers with spf, Natasha Lowery, nuance products, salma Hayek products, Style Star Sisters

It’s been a long time since I’ve shared some of the products or fashion finds that I’m excited about. Well, today, I’m taking a slight detour from fashion to focus on skin products. I feel the maintenance of your skin is more important than any outfit. Now, these products I just didn’t glance at on a store shelf or in a magazine. I actually used all these items for several months. I must say I am quite pleased with the results. My skin looks brighter, softer and less fatigued. And to top it off, all these products are extremely affordable and located right at a CVS near you or online. So, here’s my Skintastic Finds list.

1. Hansderma SkinCool Ice Roller-This product is kept in your freezer. I use it for facial puffiness, tired muscles, and after waxing treatments. It’s perfect for after my biweekly lip wax. Very soothing and helps to revive a tired face in the am. This item is about $30.00 and found online.

2. Salma Hayek Nuance products-Cucumber and Rosewater Dual Phase Makeup Remover. Great! . This gently removes makeup while moisturizing your face. I use a cotton pad and swipe away all the day’s makeup and dirt. This is a Must! And, for less than $10.00. I loved the remover so much I tried another product from the same line.

3.  Salma Hayek’s Moisturizing Day Cream- This day cream I use every morning after I tone my skin. My skin looks good even without makeup. I love it because it’s gentle, not oily and has SPF 30 too. So, you have a daily moisturizer and SPF protection for under $20.00. All of Salma Hayek’s products are found at CVS.

And, my last favorite find.

4. MUA Retractable lip brush- Ok, I have to confess. I’m that woman that hates to give up a great lipstick color even when the stick gets low in the tube. I hate to waste anything. And, we know cosmetics can add up. So, instead of digging in my tube with whatever,  I found a good solution. Mua’s retractable lip brush is good for defining lips and using the last drop of your favorite lip color. You have to get this. Also, available at CVS  for less than $10.00. So, there you have it. I hope you try all or at least one of the products.

Your Style Star Sister,

Natasha

It is steamy hot- so what is a brother to do?

Hey Style Stars! – While we girls are rocking our summer dresses, skirts, tanks, and colored jeans- it is always a blast to see a brother not letting the heat burn his fashion sense. So ok, my style sister and I were hanging in Harlem the other night at African food restaurant  Ambassadors,  when our friend Eugene Tuff rolled in.Image 

 It was a steamy night but Eugene looked way cool. And Style Stars take a closer look at the material of his light weight stunner.

Image

 

 Yes that is seersucker. Remember that material? It is so retro.  (Here is a brief history courtesy of Wikipedia:

Seersucker is a thin, puckered, all-cotton fabric, commonly striped or chequered, used to make clothing for spring and summer wear. Seersucker is woven in such a way that some threads bunch together, giving the fabric a wrinkled appearance in places. This feature causes the fabric to be mostly held away from the skin when worn, facilitating heat dissipation and air circulation. It also means that pressing is not necessary. 

During the British colonial period, seersucker was a popular material in Britain’s warm weather colonies like British India. When Seersucker was first introduced in the United States, it was used for a broad array of clothing items. For suits, the material was considered a mainstay of the summer wardrobe of gentlemen, especially in the South, who favored the light fabric in the high heat and humidity of the summer, especially prior to the arrival of air conditioning.

The fabric was originally worn by the poor in the U.S. until preppy undergraduate students began wearing it in the 1920s in an air of reverse snobbery.)

Too much information?? I know Style Sisters I just thought it was interesting. Getting back to Eugene.  Doesn’t he look debonair! — Adding to the look- he sips on a glass of single malt scotch Macallan 12- which he makes sure places he frequents has in stock.

Image

Oh just to wrap up this style brother for you Style Stars- he rotates among about 30 suits and he also owns a pair of seersucker shorts.  Tres chic
