OOTD: Hippy Prep

It was cold, rainy day in D.C. but I refused to stay in the house. It was the perfect day for some skinnys, ballet flats and a warm pauncho.

OOTD: Sierra Mist

A lovely day in DC. I visited the National Harbor for a nice water taxi ride to Old Town  to enjoy the weather and for good eats. Fun in the sun... Did I quench your thirst?

Balenciaga Bag Review w/ Pictures

One day I just woke up and had a strong desire for a Balenciaga Bag.  I don't know  where this sudden urge came from but it was rather intense. I visited the Balenciaga website a trillion times trying to decide if I wanted GH( Giant Hardware), Regular Hardware, etc. and what color combination would best suit my needs- Rose gold with taupe, black on black black on  gold, black on silver hardware etc. These bags come in so many beautiful color combos it  took a while to figure out the perfect bag. I  really wanted a cute everyday bag that was chic and had that element of edge and I felt that the Balenciaga City Bag was the perfect bag for that. Here are the specifications of this  bag (www.balenciaga.com)

New Tote?

I am in the market for a new tote bag. I want something that is casual and super cute. On my super chill days I wear my Sakroots bag that I love. It is a cloth bag that wears around the body messenger style and I have my Burberry tote... that is super casual but sometimes I am not in the mood for the plaid print. Here are some options that I am deliberating about. What do you guys think?

OOTD: Blues, Grays, Silver and Plaid

Hey Gang,

Today was a good day. Praise God. I was going for work casual with a twist. How many times have you seen faux fur at the office- not often I assume, but I figured a clever way out of a structured silhouette for something to allow me to breathe, relax and be free. It also allowed me to wear the tightest pant imaginable and play it off as office ok.LOL. Anywho,  I really really  love all colors, and today's palette was my interpretation of winter summer. Yes winter summer... with muted shades of silver, blue, greys and fur with a plaid tote for a nice contrast. The sun was my main accessory today, it added just the right amount of brightness I needed to give energy to my calm palette. I love how all things work together.

How to get the perfect body INSTANTLY

OOTD: Stars and Rockets


Glasses: Prada

Today, I was invited to a premiere for a new HBO series titled, "Girls". The premier was held at the Dunes Gallery in the Columbia Heights area. The event was cute- good cocktails and really great popcorn. Anywho, Straight from work I headed to this event. Today's look was all about soft cool tones with a pop of neon on the nails and feet. I like mixing odd colors together and making them make sense. The great thing about black in white in general is that it goes with EVERYTHING. So I accented a black and white outfit with neutrals: a soft neutral pink pashmina, soft grey handbag and mixed in some bright  primary colors to accessorize. I don't like to think of accessories as objects, like earrings, bracelets, shoes etc. I think colors are accessories. They can add life to black or white. Color is the new accessory for the season- Chiffon Sparkle XOXO

Denim Overload with Rihanna

Denim shirts are my new obsession!!!!!!! I remember I had a Levi's denim shirt in junior high school and I loved that shirt-back then I would try to match it with the same color denim bottom but not so much today. Denim shirts are versatile and can be worn with just about anything. I think the denim shirt is the white collar shirt revamped. Definitely a classic piece you should have in your wardrobe. Rihanna has definitely ignited my desire again for the denim shirt . It is no secret,  I love Rihanna style a lot, and I think she is drop dead gorgeous!!!! Here is to one stylish lady. Rih Rih...  Rocking her denim!!!!!

OOTD- MID-WEEK CASUAL COMFORT

Lipstick: Morange by MAC lined with MAHOGANY by MAC....
Today after a long day at the office, I met up with my GFF Monet King-communications specialist for a long overdue business meeting, pizza      and yummy cupcakes.  I was in between moods today, a part of me wanted to be mid- week dressy casual and the other half wanted total comfort. Today's Outfit of the Day(OOTD) is a combo of both moods. Instead of wearing a pauncho, or wool coat- I added a bit of dress flair with a shiny linen MK trench coat,  and added total comfort with my favorite juicy couture sneaks. It was the perfect outfit for my mid-day outing. -chiffon sparkle

OOTD: Pleats In The Street

It was a beautiful 80 something degrees today in the City. I was feeling easy and breezy and wanted a look that was effortless, appropriate for work and could later turn into a nice outfit for cocktails- well water for me, but
you know what I mean! This is how I wanted to do spring in the city- with pleats.
When it is all said and DONE!

Brandy Norwood- TWENTY TWELVE

I am sooo loving  Bran Bran's new Image. She looks stupid fantastic!!!!!!!!

Let's Go NEON!!!!! This season is ALL about electric hues of red, blue, pink, green, yellow, orange, blue, and white. Instead of rocking the same ole poofy baby pink and powder blue.. Let's make a BOLD statement this Easter with shades that will make the world a BRIGHTER place. Chiffon Sparkle presents "EASTER RELOADED". I have scouted a ton of online sources to collect and present the most Illuminating Easter designs just in time to give you some ideas for this coming Sunday. XOXO

OOTD: Peep green


Hearts of Color

Today's look is all about Spring. Salmon and peachy corals are HUGE this season as well as color blocking. I created this look with the girl on the go in mind- who has a lot to do and wants to do it in style. This is the perfect outfit for running errands,hanging out with friends or having a mid day lunch at Lauriol Plaza in DC.  This look can also be worn at the office if you pair it with a chic blazer and some closed toe shoes.  Chiffon Sparkle XOXOHearts of Color

Why Do My Feet Hurt When I Wear High Heels?



 

By 


This is a very common question that we hear all the time, so it needs to be addressed. We often hear women complaining about their aching feet after a long day of wearing high heels, but they keep on wearing these uncomfortable and painful shoes for the sake of beauty and fashion.
