QUEEN SPARKLE

posted by Elshane on Nov 2 2015, under Fashion

This is one of those MIC DROP moments.

Can life get any sweeter than head to toe matte sequins? 

Whether you roll head to toe or just pick one-- each of these sequin pieces are utter perfection. Notice on the pants and shirt that the sequins give off a multi-directional feel? That's done on purpose. Simply with the brush of your own hand, you can push the sequins into place to make them all one-directional or, what I did, an organized chaos of excitement. 

Not much else to say here. Wish I could wear this everyday...

FALL INTO BLACK AND WHITE

posted by Elshane on Oct 29 2015, under Fashion

Black and white and fresh all over. We're spotting this old school/new school simple combo pop up on runways and in street style all over the globe.

The best part of the black and white movement? It satisfies every fashionista's desire: splurge on a black and white designer handbag (luxury never goes out of style in black and white), or save on a timeless wear to work combo like this ruffle blouse and a-line skirt.

It's one of those trends where you physically cannot regret your purchase. Black and white items in your wardrobe always smile back at you...

FIELD OF DREAMS

posted by Elshane on Oct 26 2015, under Baby/Motherhood

If you're checking my instagram this afternoon @elshanesworld, you'll hear the exciting news! I'm pregnant with a baby girl due in March!! I'll spare all of the fun, juicy details for another post on my blog later this week, so stay tuned...

This look was actually inspired by my little mini me to be. A little fur, a little chiffon, and a ton of twirling baby stars-- isn't that every little girl's fantasy? It still is mine...  

My blog has always been a reflection of my life, and now with this new chapter, it will be no different. Don't expect to see any less color explosions, turban experimentation, tequila party binges, or workouts in 25 inch pony tails. I'll never stop being me.  

But instead, I'm just adding a new dimension to my world. A destination site for the power chick working mom who wants it all...

SWEATER WEATHER

posted by Elshane on Oct 21 2015, under Fashion

I've put all of my crop tops, mini skirts, and party dresses aside... for the summer season is long gone and the new definition of sexy falls in line with words like chunky, thick, and nubby... sweaters that is!

It's almost as if the seasons change at just that perfect time where the thought of one more midriff-bearing shirt is complete foul play! {Or is it because football season lends to heavy on the beers and burgers?} Regardless, sweater season is here, and I like it!

The easiest way to transition into fall sweaters is a basic black sweater dress. I've highlighted some of my favorite fall finds in my Shop The Look section below. Happy shopping!

FALL INTO DOUBLE DENIM

posted by Elshane on Oct 19 2015, under Fashion

It takes a chick who's lived in LA for a few years to really appreciate a head to toe denim outfit. 

Such was the case with this denim trench and patchwork boyfriend jeans that kept me half sporty, half spicy-- the perfect combination of cool for fall.

Have you invested in fall denim yet? I've highlighted some of my favorite unique denim buys for fall in my Shop The Look section below. The best part? They're all under $200! Happy shopping!

BOBBI BROWN: THE NEW LUXE LIP

posted by Elshane on Oct 12 2015, under Beauty

Bobbi Brown has launched her new collection of lip shades in her best selling Luxe Lip lipstick. She's packed in a rich 20 hues in an array of feminine fall shades from pink nudes, to autumn corals, to vampy reds. Here, I'm wearing Pink Guava!

The lipstick is creamy with a medium shine and delivers vibrant full lip coverage with just one or two swipes. It's also infused with vitamins C and E and MaxiLip, plumps lips, and supports natural collagen production.

Possibly its best attribute? The fact that it's parabens, sulfates, and phthalates free. $35 at Sephora.

A SUEDE STORY

posted by Elshane on Sep 28 2015, under Fashion

Tales of a working woman (likely part 14,670 on this blog)...

Find a quickie outfit on the go that will get you from A to B, looking fly as a female superpower, and without breaking the bank? {This faux suede shift dress is under $100!}

I'd go for a look like this-- from office to o-u-t-i-e; it's casual, sophisticated, and allows you room for personality through accessories and makeup selections.

I went off the beaten path a little with this oversized fur messenger bag as my accessory pop of the day. It's vintage from a flea market, so sorry to share that I can't guide you where to get your own, but I listed a few similar options in my Shop The Look section for both the fur-lover, and the PETA-friend. 

Fall fashion is about staying on the right path...but beating to your own drum. After all, that's always been the Elshane's World way...

WESTERN FOR FALL

posted by Elshane on Sep 23 2015, under Fashion

I'm a big fan of mixing my highs and lows. Take this chiffon bow dress by Wayf (for under $100!), and this well-priced epic western belt (that if you don't yet own, I just don't quite understand why), and pair it back to some major designer accessories for a home run WOW!

Fashion is fleeting, but accessories stick around. I invested in this denim Chanel handbag this year and have never looked back. These Christian Louboutin boots are 6 years old and more fabulous by the day. Spend on designer accessories and save on easy dresses like this no-brainer from Wayf. 

Plus, if you haven't touched in with the western trend yet, well then I just don't know what you're waiting for!
