FashionHap: Early-Mid April '16

Maryse has been slaying fashion life since she stepped back on to the big screen. Her first offering paired chevron-waist (love that look!) leggings with lace-up OTK's and one heck of a statement jacket! The cropped, all-over metallic lace piece is a serious jaw-dropper. It's beautiful, feminine, an artistic achievement  and HOT. While Maryse layered it over a brassiere, I can completely see this piece working layered over a bandeau, a form-fitting tank or a classic LBD. It's the very definition of a statement piece! The same can be said for her tie-front car coat. Done in a steely taupe opaque fabric, it's accented with plastic-esque stripes for a fierce, mod look. She finished the look in the same way as her previous outfit: with leggings and OTKs. It's a super cool, entertainer's twist on a classic fashion blogger look...and I adore it! Maryse added a can't-miss-it statement necklace for an additional dash of glam. Ogh, she's so fab!
I also love Charlotte's look from Raw in April where she paired this lace top with black denim. The underlayer of her top allows the gorgeous detail of the lace pattern to show through in a really beautiful way and I love the textural contrast of the delicate lace and the tough, woven denim. Her hairstyle is one of my fav looks for her too - she wrapped tendrils around her head and pinned them to create a self-headband effect, which is lovely!
Nikki brought us a complex, but fun look which melded a cropped lace tee with a printed flared skirt. Up to there. it's cute and sophisticated, but she brings some punk-ish fierceness in with her strappy platform booties. A high bun completes the look. She styled it for a wine festival and it comes off very hip and interesting, i.e. perfect for that kind of event ;)

on the flip side, I've mentioned before how I love the quiet impact of a simple look that comes together flawlessly. Such is Eden's pairing of a black scoopneck, elbow-sleeve tee and flared jeans. She;s finished it with open-toed sandals and a classic bag. There's nothing ostentatious about this look, but it has a very certain air of stylishness about it which rocks my world.
The printed romper seems to be becoming a favorite look of Jojo's, as evidenced by this Insta shot she shared. She gave the soft florals a bit of attitude by pairing them with black leather OTK's. The combination of sweetness and fierceness is very appealing, as well as having a unique flavor. Jojo's fashion choices continue to impress!
My love of yellow naturally drew me to this incroyable dress when I saw it on Brie. It's got a wonderful boho print, a fantastic halter silhouette and a bright, sunny background. Literally, what's not to love? I really think every girl should have at least one dress in some amazing light-up-the-world, brilliant color. The high-low skirt portion is tasteful and looks to reveal an alternate fabric underneath. This is such a unique and fabulous dress - definitely a trademark piece!
Maryse starts and finishes this FashionHap. This time, it's a black-on-black ensemble she donned for her turn on ESPN's Sportscenter with the Miz. She sparked it with this magnificent satin, sleeveless trench in a killer shade of deep red. The fabric adds depth and richness to this entrancing color. She finishes the look with her suddenly 24/7 OTKs. This set is made special by silver buttons and a shield detail emblazoned at the top. This is classic Maryse: trendy, sexy, luxurious and stylish. #Homage
