Brie's Closet

Be the apple of his eye in this trendy look. This look is timeless, the animal print with the black is all the rage, but the red in the top and purse are the accent pieces that make this look pop. This look is great for an afternoon lunch or brunch with your lady friends.

Now here are to young ladies Mia Ray and Arjaunubri have definitely worked the color block look. Be sure to check out their blog confession of a glam-aholic.  Their color palette is perfect for spring looks and the shoes are fierce. 

Our First Lady takes center stage with this pretty printed dress. Green is a spring color that is very flattering to all skin tones, so take a tip from Michelle Obama and add some color to your life. This brocade patterned shealth dress is very complimentary to the curvy figure. The color blocked heels help to balance out the look by giving the illusion of  long legs. 

How you dress outside of the office matters just as much as how you dress in your business environment when you representing your company. A standard business suit is not the way to go if you're entertainings clients, at a job site or a formal event.  Try this look that is perfect for lunch with a client.

One of our style icons Queen Latifah, has launched her very own clothing line through HSN. The collection is called none other than "The Queen Collection" and it consists of everything from denim, leggings, and hanbags to hair clips. The line debuted  on August 27th.

Queen Latifah says, that her reasons for starting the line, “It is a word we need to bury at this point ... I wanted to make something size two and up,” she said. “The truth is, we all would like to wear the same clothes. We all want to wear beautiful, fly clothes no matter what size you are, and so for me it was important to match with a company that understood and respected that ideal.” She also says, “I felt like larger girls were not respected, even though we are huge consumers,” Queen Latifah said. “I felt the marketplace didn’t respect us in the way it should. I was not going to step out with a clothing line that didn’t respect a fuller-figured woman or a curvaceous woman, and really all women.”

The Queen collection will be priced under $100 for apparel and $170-$300 for leather outerwear and handbags. 

The Queen Collection

The nautical trend will be with all the summer, always remember when choosing stripes,  horizontal stripes widen, decide whether to go beyond navy stripes. Here the important thing is the combination of colors. The red shorts, gray tunic that accent the shoulders.  We left the stripes for the accessories. This look great with heels or flats?

Try this look when you still want to be stylish running errands around town.Here the focus is on the fabric of her blouse. The tip here is to use with jeans that are boot cut, because a skinny in this case does not add emphasize the curves in a positive light, but draws attention in a negative way, which does not mean that one should use baggy clothes, to the contrary, the boot cut, that is a little wider from the knee down is an excellent option.Being longer, the blouse is even more prominent disguising hip width, and is perfect with the jacket shorter, that does not add bulk, and gives a romantic touch throughout.  The shoe in the same tone pants elongates the silhouette, which helps a lot. The square frame sunglasses are a cute accent accessory.
