It that time of year again, fashion designers, models and press gets to meet all in the same place, which I like to called fashion week. Fashion Week is a place where all or maybe some designers get to show at fashion week. When it comes to fashion week most of everyone is there. I always dreamt of going to fashion week. Fashion week began on September 5 to September 12, from Afffair to Zimmermann, there are 81 designers at fashion week, but there is one that is missing, the one that I always look forward to, which is Project Runway. I have watch Project Runway for many years and have look forward to it at fashion week. This is the year that is not presented which is a sad moment. The other sad moment for this year is Kate Spade. There was a tribute about her, which was a tearful moment, I always love her designs, but I never own a piece, because I could never afford it. She was the first designer that I ever fell in love with. I just wish I had the opportunity to of meant her.
When you look back on something, like Fashion Week for instant, you can bring up on a certain memory that was your favorite, and also you can tell which show was the most presented one, I have never been to fashion week, so I can't tell you which one that would be, only others can. So for me when it comes to fashion week, I always look forward to the clothes that are coming out next year, but I am also more excited about the new designers that are coming out to, the ones that I never heard of, to see what they have to bring to the table. Fashion week to me is like an award show, instead of getting awards, we are presented with clothes, something that we can wear, use and also be pretty with. Clothes to me are an necessary item when it comes to people. I love clothes, I always like the ones that I can wear on repeat, but with different items. I just wish that some people can see the true nature when it comes to fashion week and why it present every year and why we have two per year. Fashion week has spring/summer and fall/winter it always present for the following year, which sometimes I get confused by that. But then again it me. If you are looking for any information on Fashion week, you can find it here from the schedule to designers and also the sponsorships they have, www.nyfw.com If you are have ever been to fashion week, please share your experience in the comments. xoxo Alexis As a disclaimer all photos belong to Getty Images and to their owners, I do not claim none of them. thank you

I have been noticing that when a new piece of clothing is coming out, they always seem like there are holes in them, like it supposed to be a new style of something, But I would have to say, It can't be a style, because we are only limited to wear them. First of all, we can only wear them when we want to go out, we can't wear them to school or to work, because their is a dress code to these places. My question is why should I pay a high price for something when I am only limited to wear it at certain places. When I was in school, we were not to wear clothes that has holes or stains on them, if we did, we got sent home. With all the jobs that I had, We also could not wear holes and stains on the clothes. If our uniform, has holes or stains we had to get a new one. So My question is why create something when you are limited to certain buyers.
I never once wear clothes with holes in them, if my clothes start getting holes in them, I tend to throw them out, because they are unwearable now. Even if they are a trend to follow, but then again I don't follow trend, I never did and I won't now. I believe this trend has been out for a while, I believe almost 7 years. My guess is a trend will stay for like 10 years, then a new trend follows, So which means I have three more years to see this trend and it the trend that I hate, more like can't stand. I never know when or what coming out. My guess is I should really start stepping up my game. This trend, I will follow for a while, until it dies down. I would like to know when someone going to do something that can make this trend more fashionable to those who don't like it and for those who only like it, because it a trend. So the question is what will someone do for this trend and how will they style it, to make it fit for everyone and for those who don't like it and also for those are only buying it because a celebrity is wearing it. So why did someone design a piece that some of us been living with it for years and we always hated it. When I see holes in clothes, I think of being poor, because it what I am. I am not downgrading, it how I feel and now it feels like designers are making fun of us poor people, because some of us can't afford clothing that are in the $30 dollars range to the $1,000 range, I know I am one of those people who can not afford those prices and I don't want to be reminded of what I can't afford, because of where I am from. I know it not their intentions, and I am not going to downgrade them because of it, because some of them were poor and they like to be reminded of where they come from. All I have to say is I don't. ![]() When it comes to work clothes, we all want to go out after work, because there is not that much time during the night, when you get out of work, Everyone works at different times and they get out at different times, but we always find a way to have an excuse to not go out. When you look at it, we don't always have to change our outfits, we can still make the work clothes work with going out clothes. I have come up with a solution that could help us all out, when we need something. Like for example when we wear a nice black dress to work. but would wear a cardigan or a little blazer over it and some heels that we usually wear for only work. But for a night out, we can keep the black dress, but just add a faux leather jacket and some sexy heels and your handbag, you will be all set for your night out. When you think about it, it really simple to turn something into a night outfit from a work outfit. It not hard at all, because you don't have change your entire outfit, only change a few things. Like for example, if you are wearing a suit pants outfits and you like the pants, then take away your blazer and your shirt and just a sexy top and some sexy heels and simply add a faux leather jacket to the mixed and a cute clutch. Sometimes it can be hard to make things look good, that why when I try to find somethings that look good, I try to spend a day just going thought my closet and see if anything works for a night out and a work day outfit, and most likely, I have found plenty of outfits that can work together, which I like. I also like the fact I have the option to work with clothes that I can simply make about 10 outfits, with just working with a little bit of clothes. I will suggest something, it simply a fashion tip, before you go thought your clothes to toss some out, please make sure you try all them on and also to see if they look good with anything else you have, because you might end up throwing out an outfit that you could use for an night out of the night or a simple day look. Look before you throw away. Please let me know in the comments below what you day look and night look is for when you go out on the town and for work. I would love to see them. When it comes down to picking out boots for fall, we are sometimes are skeptical about the whole thing, because there are so many boots are there. I know I am, I am always skeptical about what boot should I buy or what price should I spend on the boot. These two things are a huge factor for me. So I decided, to created a 5 boots that are under $100 for fall. It was a hard decision to make and do, because there were so many boots that were under $100 that I actually like on Ebay, for example, I love ebay, I will not give ebay up, that where I buy all my boots from, from summer to winter, because they got some really nice boots that I actually like and it even budget friendly, which, I like. So I have created 5 boots for fall that are budget friendly and just for you. 1) New Women's Knee High Studs Riding Boots w/ Buckle Straps Black Sizes 5.5-10 US $29.95I love these boots, I think they go with basically anything that in your closet, The buckle straps are the bling that we need this fall to got with the fall trend that is going on. I also think the contrast of black is something that I like to go with jeans and sweaters. These boots are from www.ebay.com/usr/k7shoesboot. 2) New Women's Suede Over The Knee Thigh High Lace Stretch Block Heel Boots US $45.99I don't have a word for these boots, except the fact that they look so good with a short mini dress or a pair of dressy shorts, that I like. These boots are the type of boots that you can show off your legs. I like these boots, I may not own a pair of these boots yet, but hey there is time. These boots are perfect for fall and perfect in anyway. These boots are at stores.ebay.com/ShopYoursTrulee. 3) Journee Collection Womens Wide-Calf Knee-High Buckle Riding Boot US $25.64These boots remind me of a cowboy/equestrian type of boots, that they decided to transform into a fashion boot. because we were all complaining that there weren't no boots that we wanted. I see these boots with leggings or something similar. I like these boots, but I am not sure if I were wear them with leggings, I see myself wearing them with shorts or maybe a dress. These boots are at www.ebay.com/usr/my-fashion-corner 4) New Women FCaa Black Tan Brown Western Ankle Booties Riding Boots US $24.99These Western Ankle Booties, are doing me quite well actually, I think these boots are something that I would like in my closet and also my fall wardrobe.

These boots are atwww.ebay.com/usr/posh-chica 5) New Women's Mid Calf Winter Snow Fashion Boots Size 5 -10 US $16.95I love these type of boots, especially this time of year, these will keep your feet warm. I like the fact that these boots are all over the place, where if I want to buy them I know the perfect place. I will wear these boots with Legging, because I think that what they look better, I think that they don't look good with denim. I think they only look good in Leggings. These boots are at www.ebay.com/usr/shoppingafun?_trksid=p2047675.l2559.
![]() When it comes to building your fall wardrobe, it comes down to what exactly what you need. I know when I am looking for fall pieces, I try to make them go with all seasons, because I am not that type of girl that like to go shopping all the time. I am not that type of person, who would like to splurge on items, I like to buy things if I am going to wear them for the next couple of years, for one thing, I don't and will never follow trend. I don't care for trend. There is no Trend in my vocabulary and in my life. Trend don't exist to me. But furthermore, let's get back to building your wardrobe for fall. The things to look for would be things like sweaters, jackets, denim, and most of all boots. I will tell you what my fall wardrobe consist of, Sweaters, which I absolutely love, I am that type of girl that loves sweaters, I can't go without owning one and having to go out and buy one. I like the fact that they can go with anything from dresses to pajamas. When it comes down to owning one, I try to look for the ones that I can actually wear for years to comes, because like I said, I like to try to keep my clothes as much as I can, even if they are my favorite ones. Then I have my leggings for fall, because living in Michigan, there are some pretty cold days that we have and I like to stay warm and fashionable as possible. I even like to wear the winter leggings when I am logging around and doing my blog. Then there is my denim, which I don't really wear in the fall or winter ones, because I don't think that denim can keep you warm, unless you wear fleece warm tights under your pants or something. But when it comes to denim, I like to keep them in my closet, just in case I want to wear them. Then there are some cute dresses that I also like to keep in my fall essential closets, just in case I have events to go to. Then there are cute little faux jackets that I also like to keep, sometimes I like to wear them with my dresses to add some flare to the mixed, then I like to wear them with sometimes with my legging, if I am feeling up to it. Last but not least, are boots, I love my boots, ankle or knee high boots. But I am mainly a knee high boots girl, I love my high boots, I will never go anywhere without them. Then we have the oversized handbags, which I absolutely love, I love my handbags. When we have a job that has to deal with certain handbags, I try to keep in simple and chic, but this my job is a fashion industry job, that gets kinda not so good in a way, because I have my laptop, my planner, my pencil bag, my notebook, my sketch pad, my sketch pencils, my color pencils, and so on, it gets kinda hectic what bag to use, so I just use my oversized handbags, which I love. When it comes to deciding on what your fall wardrobe should consist of, remember what you are going to wear and what you should wear, and also remember it all depends on where you live, that is a major factor that should be considering to. So please be prepare for your state. If you are planning on going on any vacations, think of the state or country that you are considering going, because it could be hot or cold even, this is a major factor when actually to do your wardrobe. So when it comes down to figuring out, let start with 1) Sweaters, what type of sweaters you like and what style do you like, they come in so many styles that it hard to keep up with them. They even come with so many fabrics that are wool, fleece, knitted, and etc. So we sometimes have to bunker down to figure out what is our style is. My style is knitted and fleece. I am not a wool girl, not at all. 2) Legging, sometimes we want to look cool during the fall months that goes into winter months. We sometimes can style them in anyway, shape or form when it comes to actually wearing them with a jacket or something. Sometimes they can keep you warm during the fall months and also they are really comfortable. 3) Denim, Oh boy, what can I say about Denim, that it comes with so many styles that we just can't keep with. It hard to find something that is denim and think that it, when it really is not. I try to just keep with the pants, but then there are handbags. Which I love, because they can go with anything. 4) Dresses, we all need our dresses for the fall and winter months, because we all go to events, there could be weddings to attend, or dinners. We all need our dresses for the fall and winter months. Dresses to me, bring glam to the closet, with their touch, it means that the closet is complete. I never go shopping without buying a new dress, because never know when you might need it. 5) Faux leather jackets, they can bring flare to any wardrobe which can be spring, summer, fall or even winter. They should be worn all year round. There is no trend to them, they are a stand alone trend that can stand on their own with a pop of style. I can't go without wearing my faux leather jacket without adding a pop of style and elegant to classic mixed to them. 6) Knee High Boots, Knee high boots can go with anything and can go with any outfit, I like the fact, that they can go with anything, and everything that in the closet, I think these boots are an everyday trend and every year trend. Who won't wear knee high boots? I know I will always wear knee high boots, 7) Oversized handbags, when it comes to oversized handbags, I can't live without, because of so much stuff that can go inside these bags and not to mention, they can be used for just about anything and even can be good for someone who going to school and even going to work, to carried all your essentials in. I think that is just about everything that I covered to what you should have in your fall essential wardrobe. I just hope that some of you may already have some of these essential already in your closet and I hope that this list help you, if you consider on using it. This might not be from magazines, but this essential list of building your fall wardrobe is from my own personal experiences, because I don't like to follow anyone else. I hope this help you. Please let me know what your fall essential wardrobe consist of? xoxo Lex ![]() When it comes to Fashion Week, we are all get excited because we get to see all the latest styles for spring and summer of 2017. But when it came to New York Fashion Week, we were all fell with lots of styles and good amazing collections that we don't know what to choose when the time comes to buy all these clothing. I like the fact that we all get to see something that we know we would love. New York Fashion week felt to me that they had to jam pack all thoughts amazing designers in 10 days, which every hour was a beautiful show, I have to see, I have not see so much color, so much beauty, so much glamour in my life. I was just amazed by what I saw, in these amazing 10 days. I wish I saw more of this in my home state, which I don't. I wish that New York Fashion Week was everyday, to give me the inspiration that I need for more styling tips for my blog, which I absolutely love. When it came to fashion week, we never know what we are getting, until the designers start the show and the models start working down on the runway. I never knew what fashion week went thought, until I noticed all the amazing designers that were showcase. What fashion week means to me, is another way to expressed your way in designing that can be showcase on the catwalk with models wearing the garment. I never quite understand why we have fashion week, until a couple of year ago, I thought it was a waste of money event, fill with something that we wouldn't care about. But after seeing what fashion week was all about, I think it a cool event to showcase fashion designers and what they have for the upcoming season. I would like to see more of Fashion Week, I think Victoria Secret should be apart of it, to give out more attention to what they have. I am not sure how to described fashion week, because I am still in shock that the fact that it over, and I am still in shock that Fall is here. I am not sure of how to put the fact that am I ready for fall or am I still crying that summer is over and I have to put up my capris and get ready for fall. I think that why I am kinda upset about this year fashion week, is because they make me want summer to stay, because I am a summer girl and I like wearing my capris, and I don't want to give them up. But anyways, let get back to fashion week, I have to say Fashion Week in one word, was AMAZING. I think I would have a fashion week like every month, to showcase more designers, but hey that is me. But New York Fashion Week, did a pretty amazing job and I think I would attend next year ![]() When it comes to the most prestigious night or should I say month, we step into the limelight of Fashion, which I should say, fashion week. It where we meet all the designers new spring and summer clothing for 2017. But what we don't know is that we tend to love these looks. But I am not too sure if they actually bring the styles out, because every time I go to the store, I never see what they shown at fashion week. I have to say that I like some of the looks of the collections that some of the designers have. When it comes to fashion week, we see collections from Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Tom Ford, Alexander Wang, to name a few. Fashion Week is a showcase for all designers or at least some to show their next collections. But what I don't understand is how come they don't talk about the little fashion shows, or to make an effort of it. I like to know is why we have these fashion shows for designers to showcase their collections, when we don't see a certain piece at a store. When I think of Fashion week, I think of new designers and a whole new collection. I also think of new designers that I can easily fall in love with. Fashion Week is also for fashion schools and art schools to showcase their work as well. But when it comes to fashion week, who will be all be seeing and going to see. I don't know who I will be seeing, it too hard to decide. Welcome to my end of year to early summer and fall pieces, of another dose of monthly Style Tips, my beauties. I already dealt with a reader that summer is not ending, Ever. As she was kinda yelling at me, when I was searching for old clothing at a local thrift store. But when it comes to September, we are all hearing about the biggest event of the year, and that is Fashion Week and we are also highlighting all of the current fall fashions that is coming out soon. As I make up excuses to cover or should I say highlight my monthly style tips. What can I say, I love trying to find good style that everyone can love and share with others. As I try to include my favorite pieces, that when I realize that Fall is not here yet. We are still in Pre season of Summer, so I would have include these pieces when fall is actually here without no warm weather. I have included a bit of jackets and sweaters a bit, but not a lot. When it comes to fall fashions, we really are not ready for it yet, one thing for sure is that we still can go shopping and look for some cute fall pieces to go with the fall styles. We are always ready to go shopping. So I narrow it down to 10 pieces of fall and summer looks, well it sorta a mixture of both, because we have a mid summer and a Pre fall looks to consider, but in reality we just want summer to stay and fall to stay behind, but for some of us, we want summer to leave because it to hot outside and we want fall to come because there are some cute little outfits to buy and wear. When we all know that summer is coming to a close, we start whining like babies and when fall starts approaching we start whining because we don't want to deal with the snow and the cold. So I have included a bit of fall and a little bit of summer. 1) Beautiful blues and blacks!With a Moto jacket and dark fabrics, there never a wrong doing when it comes to fashion. With a hint of blue and with skinny jeans, you can have a mixture of both fall and summer together, but just can't overdo the styling. 2) Embrace the sweater trend!When embracing the shorts and the sweater trend for mid season summer, we are actually thinking of Fall, because the dark colors is more of a fall trend, then a summer trend. What I like to do, is wear sweaters during the mid season of summer, because that when it starts to get a little chili and also cold during the morning hours and the late night hours. 3) The Lace Elegant!When embracing the lace for fall, we are actually looking at a trend that can actually last all season with no trade up or no trade outs. When I look at lace or even wear lace, I like the way that it can look with everything. 4) Mixture of plaid and lace!I love how plaid looks with the blacks, it give that sophistication that we are all looking for. We all like the style that it could bring and we can even style it with something else, plaid can basically go with anything. 5) Lets just go Royal!I love the look of Royal blue, because it makes it feels like you are with the ocean and makes it where you a diamond in the ruff. It evens makes it how you can pull one color and wear it, without having any trouble with styling it. 6) Going for the fire aka Sapphire!When we think of fire, we are actually thinking of sapphire, the color of a somewhat blue that even is a gem of a jewelry. When I think of a sapphire, I think of the ocean, because it makes it where it still summer, which I don't want to give up yet. 7) Mid Summer of Lights Dream!I know they say, you should not wear white after labor day, But I thought that the white chiffon top brings the light of summer, with a touch of black. I like how the white can match up with anything even. It even has a way about the way it looks. 8) Lets go for the Burgundy! Lets go the burgundy, the color of wine and the color to end the spirit of summer and into fall, what is more fun to let summer go with something so stylish and something that can say goodbye to summer and say hello Fall. 9) Hello to Hoodies, Signature look for fall!I am known as a hoodies girl. I love hoodies, I like the fact they can go with anything that you own in your closet. They even have the look that they are comfortable. 10) Give Summer a goodbye!I think pink is a way into summer look and also works for fall, because it has the look about it that can lasts. I also think that maxi dresses or should I say summer dresses, can also be a workable fall fashions. because fall is not here yet, until it gets cold outside.
![]() Welcome September, We are glad that you stop by to see us. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that Fall is almost here. I still can't believe that we will be wearing our fall fashions within the next coming weeks. I can't say that I am going to miss summer, because literally I am, because I have to say goodbye to my capris and say goodbye to my flips flops, No I don't live California like everyone else, I live in Michigan that get sometimes 0 below and we have to get out our snow boots, and I don't wear snow boots, I am a more of a knee high boot girl and legging girl during the winter months that we have in Michigan. I don't know when I am going to be during a fashion look book for fall, since it still warm here in Michigan, because we do have Indian Summer here with degree hitting us around the 80's mark. When I here other fashion bloggers talking about white denim and soft tees and crisp blouses, I get choke up, because I don't wear none of those. So I decided to do something different for fall fashion on my blog. I will still be updating everyone on my clothing collection, which I am focusing on style's that I know everyone will like. For some of you, all the content that you see on Captivate Style's, will be the same. I have not change anything, just added some new interesting things, that I know some people will like and love. I will be covering everything that fall has to bring to holiday decor to the style of the season to more of the comfortable chic who like to stay at home. I will like to give you the behind-the-scenes look of my collections, but none of the pieces are ready yet, but I will show you the fabrics that I pick out. I will be sharing my experiences in the fashion industry, what happen to me and what I have done and how I decide to go on my own. I will also be sharing with you, who I look up in the fashion industry, and who I found my inspiration on what I want to do in the fashion industry. For the fall season, I will be doing a fall decor look on how to decorate your home on a budget with the simple things you already have in your home. I will be doing a fall fashion look book and also be doing a fall fashion look book with thrift shopping for clothing. ![]() I decided that each week that I will do a series for the month of May for Style's Tips. We all know that we need style tips, when it comes to fashion. But for some, don't believe in style at all. But I think that we all should apply to style instead wearing yoya pants and pj's all day long. Which I wish they ban those pants in public. 1) For this spring, pastel colors are in. We have have to worry about people looking at us, thinking what are they wearing. They are wearing chalk colors, instead of real colors. 2) Florals are in this spring, which I believe are in every year. We dont have to worry about not going out of style. 3) Can we say Denim in this season? I would have to say yes, it is. Denim is in every year, it doesn't matter what time of year. They will always be in. One thing, that I like about denim, they go with everything. 4) There are two ways to wear yoya pants, one is you can always dress up yoga pants. two, yoga pants is with fitness, so if you have to go to work, dress up yoga pants with a cute little blazer and then after work, you can do your fitness. It a winning day for you after all. So when you decide that style is not in the cards for you, think again, it can work in many ways and it best to have a style or at least play with it. So think about these style tips and make sure you cooperate them in your daily routine when you are getting dress. |
