Solving Kids' Cancer: Fourth Annual Spring Celebration

May 7, 2013 marked the fourth annual benefit for Solving Kids' Cancer. I was able to attend the event for work. It was truly a beautiful night. Being able to see the love that came out of such pain was beyond heart warming. It truly teaches you to value life and help others to do the same. Children are our future and they deserve to grow up.

The special guests included superstar fashion designer Donna Karan, actor Josh Lucas and mega photographer and host Nigel Barker.

Ode to Marilyn

Today I was inspired by one of my top fashion icons Marilyn Monroe. I picked up this oversized t-shirt at Forever21 and it was a done deal! Since Spring is struggling to come about I paired my tee with a pair of faux leather leggings, a spring jacket, and my Steve Madden hidden platform heels.

Striped Pants for the Curvy Girl ~

This look comes from my love for stripes! Today was a mixture of temperatures and I wanted to be comfortable yet still my stylish self.

I paired a sequin sleeve blazer with a flows black tank. Very true to my style I made my statement piece (the striped pants) the focal point. My hand bag is the new Coach city tote I have been using for a while now.

I hope you enjoy this post.
