FashionHap: Sept '16, Backlash, Etc

September is bringing us a whole pastiche of looks, loves - everything from on-trend, to totally fierce to summer throwbacks! There's a little something for everyone, so let's get into it :)
Jojo has been nailing her fashion quite often lately. This outfit from her time in Manila is simple, but fierce, as she finishes off a ribbed playsuit with OTK boots. I really love the chain belt at her waist! This kind of focal-point is all you need to add that exclamation point to an otherwise minimal look.
Lana is back to her trademark powersuit, after a lifetime of bridal outfits :). This bright cobalt is just glorious and the satin fabric is luxurious and sexy. She ramps that up by setting a matching lace bustier underneath it. She accessorizes with a spot on-trend choker. I'm also a fan of her high bun; she always looks so chic with her pulled back like this!
Maria went a bit vintage with her Impact tv look. This coord set is done in palest blush, giving it a modern-nostalgic vibe. She enhanced that with t-strap pumps and then gave the look a soft glamour by adding what Chanel would have called "ropes of pearls". :) Maria's tv style often focuses on the sexy and glam, but we know from her 'shoots that she is comfortable with a wide variety of style genres. It's fabulous to see her explore some of those looks on tv!
Mandy is keeping things all summmery with this cute combo. She paired a sweetheart-necklined bustier in a gorgeous watermelon red with high-waisted denim shorts. The color story is classic and the look is super-sexy! She keeps it on trend by rounding it off with lace-up sandals in a warm beige.
Maryse arrived at  a recent live event in this white Abyss By Abby dress with a geometric sheer inset at the shoulders. The detail makes this sheath very modern and Maryse runs with that vibe, topping it with a white motorcycle jacket by Zara and finishing it with gray ankle booties from Gucci. In addition to the clean-lined dress, a few particular choices make this look stand out. First is the squared toe design of her booties. With the pointy-toe having been fashion royalty for the last season or two, some new shapes are beginning to pop up. The squared is quite unusual. While I appreciate it's uniqueness, I'm not sure it is my favorite silhouette. How about you? Next, how about that orange lip shade? This hot and rare color functions flawlessly here in adding a real pop to this nearly-monchrome look. Lastly, she contrasts that bright lip and pure white canvas with dark nails, which adds another fun visual twist.

Backlash also provided a few noteworthy fashion moments. Predictably, one of them was from Maryse, who took her bodysuit design to a whole new level sexy by adding a zip-front. She left it open to reveal a keel-over-worthy metallic go brassiere. Seriously, does 'sexy spiked with glam' get any hotter than this? Doubt it.  Her current favorite accessory - a corset belt - was clasped at her wait for a bit more sparkle, along with a metallic fabric choker and a pair of gold cuff bracelets. Fish net stocking and OTK boots completed the look...if you remained conscious long enough to scan that far down. As always, after Maryse, I need a moment.
I wish we had gotten a better picture of Renee's jacket. This shimmering jacquard is a glorious example of a luxe fabric that's coming back to the forefront of fashion. The sheen and rich weave make this piece quite formal, appropriate for upscale events. It's also versatile, though - casual bottoms could dress it down quite a bit. It was florals, florals everywhere, as Renee accessorized with a metal rose choker. Her mauve-into-sandy-rose make-up look is absolutely beautiful! It coordinates with her outfit nicely, but additionally, these colors are just jaw-dropping on her!
I mentioned previously that Nikki's Athletic-Fearless era seems to be continuing  - but that doesn't mean she's stopped evolving the gear! She brings this set right to the height of trendiness by adding white stars at her hips. The star motif has been all over the runways recently, so I really love this new addition to her ring look! I also like that she's added to the Fearless color repertoire by using this saturated royal blue - it's an amazing color, works perfectly with the red and white and looks gorgeous on Nikki!
