FashionHap: Mid-Aug'16, Cont'd

Hello, Brandi, killing it as usual! :) She attended a Cointreau soiree in August, along with Cody, wearing this simple black monochrome ensemble. She made it much more than simple, however, by adding this floral textured clutch! I love how the spike of formality and luxe elevates this look! Her azalea lips shade adds just the right whisper of color. We see a similar all-black combo from Eva Marie, with a very different vibe. Her slim pencil skirt if paired with a cropped cutout collar top and edgy black sandals. the whole vibe is tougher and brassier than Brandi's look, though equally modern. Don't you love how such similar elements can still create such incredibly different styles? (PS the top, skirt and aviators are all part of her NEM fashion line).  I always have a special place in my fashionable heart for the ladies who can do it all. They turn their hand from look to look without even the slightest loss of competence. Lana is one of those. Here, she goes straight up rocker for us, in a look that's def one of my recent favs! She pairs daring black and white striped pants with a black top and a cropped leather jacket. The pants are bold, but everything else is subtle and it strikes precisely the right style balance! The city background enhances the look and the angle - Lana's blonde beauty in motion as she passes through the sight line - make this candid shot photoshoot-worthy. Alexa makes her presence felt again, this time catching our attention with this white cutout dress. The embellished crossed belt at the front is so pretty - and makes me smile: it seem Alexa always manages to get her touch of glam into a look...and I love that! Wedge pumps complete here look. I can ttly see black pointy toe pumps working as well. Charlotte went for a slip dress during her time in Sydney and I like her variation of the trend. Architectural black sandals finished the look. I've noticed Charlotte wearing this bar necklace quite often, and jewelry not overly much, so I am beginning to wonder if she prefers pieces with personal meaning. If that's isn't/weren't the case, I could see adding a choker to this look for a little more amperage.

 Maria mentioned that this pretty striped A-line skirt is one of her favorites and it's easy to see why: it's so versatile! This time around, she pairs it with a black bralette crop top. (This look could be topped with a mesh tee or open-weave sweater to make it a bit less daring for us ordinary, non-First Lady types ;)). My favorite part of her look, though, are her shoes: sparkle ballet FLATS. *applauds*.  Gaga knows, I love my stilettos, but now and again, it's beyond awesome to see a diva shows us just how stylish and sexy flats can be too! Lana slays my life yet again with this look from August. She pairs wide-leg lace pants with an off-the-shoulder black top for a super-trendy 70's-meets-now pairing that looks aaaaafreakinmazing.  Choker here, anyone? As with her previous candid, the background makes the shot even more special; Lana and her fashion really pop off the blue water. Just unbelievably gorgeous. Eva Marie attended the Liquid Sunday Pool Party at Foxwoods in this lace crop top, paired with frayed blue denim. This summery look is just right for a super-casual occasion like this and the lace with denim is a fabulous, sexy and feminine combo.  If you thought Lana was winning the backdrop crown, think again! Maryse got in the running with this fantasmic gothic-rock chair (throne?). The acid green lighting makes it just that much cooler and more mysterious. I figure she savors collectively slaying the fan base with outfits like this. Then again, it just be habit by now ;). This simple but shimmery black bodysuit, accented with crave-worthy be-crystalled corset belt is, of course, devastatingly fab. Oh..and the glittering, embellished officer's cap. Paired with black stocking and her trademark OTK's, Maryse looks like a goth-rock goddess...and we are merely her humble, adoring, grovelling, semi-sycophantic fashion fans. That's all. No one should have to follow that, but Rosa does a creditable job at it, repping a 2Paws "Thug Life" tee, paired with frayed blue denim and Louboutin pumps. I like the idea of an elevated shoe completing a casual look, and it's one of the pillars of Rosa's style. I've missed having as much of her fashion as we usually get, but I'm thrilled for her being able to begin her family!
