Love It or Leave It: Ciara's Super Sexy Denim

Ciara is giving you body, honey. Every time I see her, I find myself in awe of her toned abs and legs. That's probably because she doesn't mind putting them on full display.
The bottom half of this outfit is perfection. The dark wash pencil leg jeans and Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps are a perfect pair. The top half is classic Ci. Definitely not workable for everyone.
Here's a much more wearable version of the look.
What do you think of Ciara's style?

When I get bored, I like to pick out outfits. Way before ShopStyle and Polyvore, I used to spend my days saving my dream looks in powerpoint. And blogs have only made my obsession worse. There are just so many style savvy women to draw inspiration from. Women of color continue to amaze me with their courage and creativity. These bloggers will have you stepping up your wardrobe in no time.

What Kim Wants: Steve Madden Shazamm Sandal
My mother is a child of the 70s, so I grew up listening to her disco records and admiring the glitz of the era. My favorite divas were never afraid to turn up the glamour in sequins, hot pants, and platforms.
That's exactly what drew me to these shoes. They flashy enough to make a statement but easy to dress down for an everyday errand run. And yes, I would absolutely wear these with a maxi dress to go grocery shopping. Fashion is a lifestyle.
Would you wear them?

Love It or Leave It: Tika Sumpter Loves The 90s

Tika Sumpter's outfit makes me uncomfortable. Probably because it reminds me of the bad old days when my mother stuck me in ill-fitting high waisted jeans that rode up uncomfortably. But somehow Tika manages to pull it off.
Definitely a 90s throwback. She's Winter on top and Summer down below. Not quite sure how I feel about it, but I'm leaning toward loving it.

That being said, I have some questions about this monochrome outfit. I do love how she used the vest/belt contraption to cinch her waist and give her an hourglass shape. But the grey on grey on grey isn't my favorite. I'm looking to invest in a pair of grey skinnies though.
What do you think of the look? Does the grey on grey on grey work?

Rewind: What was Nicki Minaj wearing at the MTV Movie Awards?

I adore Nicki, but I’m not ready to call this fashion. An exposed Hanes Her Way bra with a pair of skinny khakis paired with a vest that could have come straight from MJ's closet circa the Bad era.
Nothing seems to be working quite right for Onika here. Even the shoes we’re supposed to covet from Gianmarco Lorenzi look a little off. On a positive note, her gold jewelry is gorgeous. I wonder who designed it.
Update: The vest is Versace. Oh.
