I Spy Pink

Drama in my world today, could it be because of Friday the 13th (cue spooky music). Let’s lighten up the mood with a discussion about Pink. Not the artist, although I did see her perform her behind off last week. Take a look 🙂

Pretty in Pink, I was told today. I Spy a few people wearing pink. Not my favorite color, but I will try anything once, in the realm of fashion that is.

I woke up this morn, “without” a spring in my step and I reached for my pink sweater and a pair of what I call peachy pink pants I bought from Just Fab over a year ago. I put these pants on several times but never liked the look, so never wore them. I needed something bright, not requiring an iron and easy for what I had to get done this morning. I admit the two are of different shades of pink but it works in my eyes. Balance it all out with a brown boot and in the words of Elephant man you are good to go. What’s my motto? Say it with me, keep it sexy and simple!

Let’s take a look at some Pink looks to warm up your look, check out these sites ladies Modcloth, My Wardrobe, Lulus

Men, check out Mr. Porter for these great pink finds:

How hot are these, what!! The price is hot also 🙂

Love,
Pinky aka Danalee Francesca

So, as promised I found a less expensive similar pair of boots! I love these Steve Madden’s! Ok, so they are a little over a $100 at $169.95, but still better than the other $300 pair. Plus, now that its Christmas shopping season they are guaranteed to be on sale any day now. If, you buy them on the Steve Madden site you get free shipping! Oh yeah, this is my KISS pick of the week and on my wish list if anyone is reading and wants to get me a supa dupa pair of sexy boots *wink* 🙂

My Nail Polish Color pick for the Fall is Blue! This Dark Blue is sexy! But, let’s Keep It Sexy Simple and pick up a bottle of Essie’s Aruba Blue at $6. Chanel’s is supa dupa chic but it does not fit into this Fashionista, Frugalista’s budget…a lot of money! Lol!

My KISS pick of the week is the book The Style Strategy: A Less Is More Approach To Staying Chic And Shopping Smart written by Nina Garcia. Nina and I met up last night for a discussion on being a Frugalista! Ok, we didn’t exactly meet up lol. She had a reading at Barnes and Nobles in Tribeca. She was dressed very chic in a Black Dress and Black Suede Gladiator Heels…loved it!

So, you should know who Nina Garcia is? If you don’t, I’ll give you about two minutes to google her and return to my article. Nina made some good points about being stylish at an affordable price. She stated “Style does not have to cost lots of money. You should not be paying $120 for a T-Shirt. A 100% cotton Tee does not cost that much. Try to accessorize what’s in your closet, take inventory to see what can be altered and recycled. I feel the best accessory for the Fall is the Belt!” I think Nina has been reading my blog posts 🙂

A few questions for Nina:

Designers to look out for?

N: I was on the 5th Floor in Saks looking at the new designers and was happy to see Christian Siriano. Very happy, watch out for him. Also, Dore and Erdem. (I will have to go to Saks to see Dore, can’t seem to find it online???)

What guiding principle should we use in defining your style?

N: Think of what piece you are wearing when you are the most happy and comfortable and that should define your style. Not sweats and sneakers….

You discuss in your book how your Mom had a huge influence on your style. What piece of her wardrobe did you covet the most?

N: Her Pearls! She wore a long strand of pearls and I always wanted them. My Mom always seemed to be very stylish. She was not a sample size, more of a size 12, very curvaceous. She knew how to make clothes work for her. I have a huge admiration for my Mom because of her style influence on me.

Awww, thanks Nina! Let’s give her a huge Fashionista Applause 🙂 Be sure to watch Project Runway Tonight!

My K.I.S.S. pick this week is the Chunky Necklace! You can slip on a simple dress and jazz it up with a great necklace. It’s all the rage this Fall 🙂 Of course you can go high-end and buy this lovely sexy piece pictured on the Elle Magazine site.

Or, if you want the Chunky Look for a more affordable price, check out Astali by designer Shannon Astali Dejong. I met her at the Young Designers Market earlier this year and fell in love with her bullet necklace. Check out the site to see what I am talking about! This Olive and Black Swarvoski Hand-Crafted Necklace will cost you $258.

While I was at a book signing last week, I spotted a necklace being worn by, yes a Fashionista! This is a similar version. She said she picked it up at Banana Republic. She did well! I love this necklace and it will only cost you $98!

K.I.S.S. Ciao!

Keeping it Sexy Simple defines my style and perhaps yours. I like to look sexy, yet sophisticated, but in a simplistic way. Effortless chic is what I go for. Here is this week’s Sexy Simple pick…

Grey figure flattering dress by Victoria Beckham is FAB, but hella expensive. This baby is $3,100. Not gonna happen. But, you can find variations of this look.

For example, this dress is from Banana Republic and sells for $142. Still flattering, of course there is a variation in design but the gist is there for a more affordable price. Very Sexy Simple!
