Oh DAndhra of Xpressiories must I mention/post thou on N.I.C.E. again? You dang near floored me with this one! Honey chileeee; Yes ma’am!

More of the goodness on the photos below can be glanced in full view HERE! The size of the photos below does them no justice at all.

I’ve seen the latest online fashion trend and I know you have too…young kids dressed exactly like adults. The way I see it is some mommies seem to have pageant mom tendencies and overdo the looks a tad bit. I spotted a kid dolled up in an adult-like look, and don’t get me wrong the looks are cute, but the baby had on makeup. That often leads me to think “Yall do know your kid have the rest of their lives to dress like adults? I guess having a non-adult like dress code will not exist once the pre-teen/teenage years hit…Geez!” Somewhere along the way the method of blending the two elements of adult-like style and child-like style was pushed to the side to make way for all out adult-like style! But as some would say after stating an opinion TO EACH IT’S OWN!

And then there was Fashion Stylist Monica Rose and her daughter Alaia…the merge of adult-like style and child-like style is always done so effortlessly on little Alaia. Alaia’s wear is always refreshing to see and I’m hoping her being spotted and reposted by the masses will lead to mama Monica Rose collabing with designers on a line of children clothes (crosses fingers). Monica is, in my opinion, one of the master mommies at merging adult-like style and child-like style. Go Mama Monica and Adorable Alaia!

Tuh! A busy, working, mother/wife, and student has events to attend as well…SIDE OF STYLE did the shopping and this client did the rocking! Thanks again for allowing SIDE OF STYLE to be of service to you Mrs. Brown-Routt.

Recently I shared that palm trees and flamingos are a few things I cannot get enough of. And with that being said Blanche Devereaux’s bedroom makes me squeal every time I spot it on TV! It looks as if 80s Miami/South Beach spit up all over that bedroom…and for that I LOVE IT. If I had a chance to live in that bedroom RIGHT NOW I wouldn’t change one thing about it! The pink carpet? No ma’am, I wouldn’t touch it!

 
I have a feeling Blanche’s bedroom..and maybe the Martinique wallpaper/wall art from The Beverly Hills hotel may have inspired Charlotte Olympia when she was creating “Meredith” for Spring 2012.

Speaking of Blanche, I spotted a cute GOLDEN GIRLS t-shirt online recently…it’s available HERE.

Finish this: "And if you threw a party and invited everyone you..."

"THE GIRLS" is what some refer to when speaking of me and my sister as a whole.

"Are you and THE GIRLS stopping by?" 
"How are THE GIRLS doing?"
"I called THE GIRLS but neither one of them answered."

The above quotes equal things our mama hears on a regular...and it's ALWAYS been that way.

Truth be told Nikki is MY GIRL...my bestie, my support system, my ride-or-die, and she accepts me FLAWS AND ALL! Love you sissy...hope you had a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

On me:

Top: Vintage 
Skirt: MICHAEL KORS
Shoes: Marshall's (Although they're practically non-existent)
Bag: Target (2011)

On sister:

Dress: OLD NAVY
Shoes: Nine West
Bag: ZARA (Duhhhhh)

I created the second image below last Fall out of sheer boredom. I tried to make it as close to the Hermès logo

as possible and I figured this weekend would be a good time to share it!

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all the mommies out there!!! Keep doing that thing that you do!!!

After some tweaking I’m hoping to have T-SHIRTS printed with the above image for sale so I can give some of the proceeds to a battered women’s shelter (I'm sure they can use it)…STAY TUNED!
