#OOTD: Sunday Brunching

Hi, my name is Zenese and I am a Brunch-a-holic. I am already a big foodie, but brunch has to be my absolute favorite! I blame living in DC for four years; brunch is like religion there. Who doesn't love a few good mimosas and breakfast food though?

Spring Lookbook: Styling White Denim

One of my absolute must- haves for Spring/Summer is..... White Jeans!

You can do so much with a great pair of white jeans during the spring and summer months. I put together a few looks to show just how versatile a simple pair of white denim jeans can be. You can dress them up, dress them down, cut them up and distress them. Whatever your style may be, everyone can use a pair of white denim in their closet. 

#CurlsOverBrunchDC : Event Recap

     

This weekend I had the pleasure of attending the DC stop on the #CurlsOverBrunch tour hosted by one of my absolute favorite beauty bloggers, Jade "LipsticknCurls" (pictured above). I started watching her Youtube channel a little over 2 years ago and was just instantly drawn to her, not just because of her amazing videos, but her realness as a person. She's not just another "Youtube guru". As a full-time grad student she still manages to travel across the country to host insightful and inspiring events such as CurlsOverBrunch for her loyal subscribers. 

This event was absolutely amazing. To be in a room full of young, ambitious women who just so happen to have popping natural hair was a beautiful sight. 

5 Ways to Style a Denim Shirt for Spring

It is FINALLY beginning to feel like Spring! The weather the past few days has been perfect! Not too hot and not too cold. So I decided it was the perfect time to put together a few transitional spring looks! My key item that I am styling is this light wash denim top that I purchased from H&M.

This denim top has been one of my favorite pieces to wear throughout the fall/winter so I wanted to create a few looks that would allow me to take it into the spring. The following looks show you just how versatile a denim top can be worn for various occassions. I hope this will give you a few ideas on how to style your own denim top! Enjoy! Xoxo

The Oscar's 2015 Best Dressed Round Up

The Academy Awards, better known as the Oscar's is Hollywoods biggest night seeing as it is one of the highest honors an actress/actor work towards recieving in their career. However, speaking honestly most, including myself only tune in for the most important thing: the fashion!

The red carpet countdown that leads up to the actual award show is the portion that captures all of my attention. Seeing the beauty and detailing in all of the couture gowns is what it is all about. This year in particular I feel that the majority of stars got it right this year. I can't think of one that was just completely terrible. No, everyone wasn't best dressed however I feel that most looks were really nice and some might have missed it due to a simple mistake of over accessorizing. (i.e. Lady Gaga and the red gloves and Scarlett Johansson and the oversized statement necklace.)

I have chosen my favorite looks from the Oscars below. They are in no particular order. These are just the ladies that without a doubt stood out on the red carpet, in my opinion.

Hope you enjoy! xoxo

 Zoe Saldana

So simple. So chic. This simple blush form- fitting gown which was a custom Atelier Versace gown was the perfect fit. The actress who just gave birth to twins chose the perfect gown to show off her post-baby body. I always live by the motto "simplicity is key" and this look proves just how true that statement is. She looked absolutely stunning.

 Rita Ora 

Rita Ora caught me by complete surprise with this look. She looks so elegant and sleek that I couldn't leave her out of my best dressed picks. Dressed in custom Marchesa, this dress is gorgeous. The hint of gold embroidery gives the dress just the right amount of pop! Her sleek hair and minimal jewelry, just earrings pull the whole look together.

Solange Knowles

Now this list could not continue without an appearance from Ms.Solange. Many didn't appreciate the Christian Siriano design on her, but I was all here for it! The wide leg trouser with matching long tunic is so her style... I mean, she did get married in a wide leg jumpsuit. I feel that Solange's style is so unique and bold that it just works for her. I thoroughly enjoyed this look.

Lupita Nyong'o

Lupita kills the Oscars once again! In a custom Calvin Klein dress made with over 6,000 pearls, she looked like royalty in this dress. With minimal makeup and jewelry she allowed the dress to make a statement. This white color tone looks amazing against her skin tone. Stunning!

Rosamund Pike

Everything about this dress screams Oscar perfection! The gown designed by Givenchy is absolutely gorgeous. I love that she did a simple single strap heel with her hair pulled back and minimal jewelry. It allows the detailing of the dress to stand out that much more.
