Right now I’ve got my eye on…

What are you currently drooling over right now? Here’s a couple things that I probably won’t buy but they’ve caught my wandering window shopping eye.

A great blazer adds versatility and chic to any outfit and allows you to jazz up a dress or outfit you may have worn before and is sitting pretty in an FB album right now. In times of FB albums, we have to re-purpose! My archnemesis Charlotte Russe has a couple that I have my eye on.

Me in Christian Siriano for Payless

Posted by IrieDiva on Nov 3, 2011 in Fashion | 3 comments

So there’s been a lot of high end designers partnering with budget stores like Target, H&M and Payless these days to bring more affordable versions of their designs to the masses. It’s been welcomed with Americans waiting on the pieces to hit stores and collections selling out within days. The Missoni for Target collection flew off virtual shelves SO fast. I’m not sure how big of a name Project Runway winner Christian Siriano has made for himself as yet and if his designs were snatched up just like all the other big names but I was quite pleased to see his shoes in our local Payless Shoes here in Jamaica.

Shoe find: Penny loves Kenny – Tetra

I first saw these Tetra – Turq Green a while back but they were out of my size so I set up an alert for when they restocked. I got that email recently! Aren’t they fabulous? I LOVE the turquoise green combo. Then I saw one of my favourite style celebs wearing it and it sealed the deal for me!

#FNOja the HWT Rundown…What I did, Where I went, Who I saw

Posted by IrieDiva on Sep 9, 2011 in Fashion | 3 comments

Ok. I can’t possibly post on all of Fashion’s Night Out in one go…I’ll have to break this up into a couple of posts. So first up, I’ll just tell you what I did and the deals I found. Even this rundown may need two posts but we’ll see how it progresses…

So…I had a plan. I had a route in my head and stores to check off my list. I was gonna start early in the day to avoid the rush. And that I did. I put on my cutest little frock that could work for casual or upscale wherever I went and I was about to head out my door when the heavens above opened up and wiped that plan clean. So, plan derailed, I looked in my closet to see what I could find that could offer a little coverage for the feet and legs while still providing some cute. Then I said f*ck all that and threw on my jeggings and my rainboots. It was pouring.

These rainboots make for conversation starters boy, everybody on the road had something to say. “Where you get dat” “A dat me need inna dis yah rain yah” “you come prepared boy nutten naah stop you” I met up with my sister who was to be my partner in crime for the evening and changed into my flats so we could get started. Thankfully the rain was done for the day.

Tifa at her Get Flat launch

Dancehall artist Tifa launched her new single Get Flat recently with the help of her endorsers Nuvo, but of course I’m quite interested in what she’s got on!

She’s wearing a metallic silver one shouldered dress with embellishments on the shoulder and pink booties. I LOVE silver and pink together, I’m sure the colour combo was chosen to go along with the Nuvo brand but hey, it works. Dexter Pottinger is her stylist so I’m guessing he designed the dress. I’m waiting on confirmation from her on this one so check back but yeah…pretty good guess I think. UPDATE: I should have known the dress was too “chill to be a Dexter, he loves a good shock value. Tifa told me it was actually from Posh Boutique and Designs in Barons Plaza. Seems worth a visit! Here he is with Digicel marketing exec Paula McLeod. Tifa is a Digicel brand ambassador:

So, what did I wear to CFW?

Posted by IrieDiva on Jun 22, 2011 in Fashion | 2 comments

I did a whole series on outfits for CFW so lemme share with you what my outfits ended up being. You already saw Friday’s, lets not rehash that one since it was pretty casual.

This was the outfit I was going to wear for Saturday night…

Nude pumps go with everything!

I was thinking of titling this post “my love affair with dresses” but I’ll use the pictures that feature the nude slingbacks from my last post to show the versatility of nude instead. Ever since I had my munchkin my belly has not been the same and since I can’t wear pajama jeans to work I figure I may as well invest in a wardrobe of dresses to get my diva on. Its a fine balance still between finding those dresses that will be figure flattering while not making me look preggers once again but I think I’ve found a few.I am partial to the Merona dresses from Target because while they’re affordable, they’re really good quality, usually a nice thick or sturdy material that will enhance my curves instead of outlining them. Unfortunately they mostly come in solid colours and I am now all “solided” out and on the hunt for some cute prints. But these are the best of them.
