  • Styles You Can Steal From Your Mans’ Closet

    Styles You Can Steal From Your Mans’ Closet

    When you’re in the mood to style yourself with something different and feminine, your guys closet is probably the last place you are thinking about going into for ideas.  If you are anything like me, you love to throw on one of your mans oversized shirts when you’re chilling around the house and odds are…he loves it too!  But if you both love the mens-inspired look that you rock at home, why not consider taking that look to the street?  Your baes’ closet could be a fashionistas dream and you didn’t even know it.  Don’t be scared of taking this look outside of the house.  Here are four pieces that you can easily steal from his closet and rock it like a mofo!

    Bowtie

    Suspenders – wear them with a cute flirty skirt, trousers and even jeans.  Just make sure to adjust them so that they fit you properly.

    A Suit – if he has a suit that he no longer wears or no longer fits him, tell him to pass it over to you.  A few nips and tucks from a good seamstress and you have a suit that will make his mouth hit the floor.

    A Baseball Hat – not only does is it great when your hair isn’t cooperating but it’s looks super sexy with a simple tee and jeans.  You can turn it up even more with a red lip and simple stud earrings.

  • 18 Pieces That Will Never Go Out Of Style

    Style is in the eye of the beholder.  What you think looks, ah-mazing, may leave others thinking, what the hell is she wearing?, but who cares…you have to do you, right?  You are free to make your own fashion rules. BLB encourages it as a matter of fact.  But has their ever been a time when you thought, “is this look in?”  Oh come one, it’s had to have happened at least once!  Thank goodness we have this list to clear your mind of that question.  Check out BLBs list of 18 fashion pieces that will never go out of style.

    Relax and take notes, bombshell…

    The Oxford Style Blouse – they are sooo versatile. You can go from conservative business woman to sexy siren by just opening a couple of top buttons.  That’s all the reason needed to  keep this top in the front of your closet.

    Stud Earrings – there’s a million and one variations of them but the classic stud earrings will never go it of style.

    Anything Leather – it may be out of season due to the weather but leather will never go out of style.  Is it just me or does wearing leather make you feel like an instant badass?

    Denim – it’s probably most peoples top pick for clothing. This textile easily dresses up or down for any occasion. It’s a no-brainer!

    Girl in denim cuffing pants

    Trousers – Work, church, a business meeting, cocktail hour…that’s just a few places that are screaming for you to slide on a pair of trousers.  They are chic and always add that needed “dressiness” to any top!

    Buckle Me Up Trousers

    Blazers –  seasonless and the perfect chameleon piece for your wardrobe.  The outfit options are endless and nothing says, “I know style” like a well-fittedblazer.  Keep one in your capsule collection.

    Color – my eyes roll all the way to the back of my head when I hear a “fashion expert” say that a certain color is out of season.  That’s just crazy.  Wear whatever hue that you choose whenever the hell you choose!

    The Paris Visit Top and Skirt Set

    Wrap Dresses & Skirts – the wrap style creates a slimming, hourglass silhouette on anyone who wears it…no bs.  This is exactly why the style has been going strong since the 60s.  It’s amazing!

     

    Gold Jewelry – there was a time not too long ago when everything was only available in some sort of white metal…silver, platinum, white gold, as if yellow gold didn’t exist.  Yellow gold is a classic in any form of jewelry,  there’s no expiration date on this classic.(readers note: this is my actual hand, please excuse the paper cut,  fashion can be a dirty game 😉)

    Inspirational Jewelry – If you wear jewelry that keeps you going then, rock it and never take it off. So you can wear your cross like it’s 1999 or 2099!

    Trousers – Looking for dressy pants? Meet trousers…they are the perfect alternative for dressing up without wearing a dress.  From church, to work, to happy…all in the same day.

    Heels – this one is self explanatory.  They’re everything!

    Pink suede BCBG heels

    Leggings – leggings have a bad rep according to some but leggings aren’t going anywhere.  Now, it’s important to address that some legging wearers have abused them.  Leggings aren’t pants, they are leggings.  Wear them with tops/dresses, coats…it doesn’t really matter jut be sure to cover the goods.  Again…leggings are not pants!

    Crops – There’s been a surge in crop wearers lately but this isn’t  a new trend.  From extreme crops that hit right below the boob to sweaters that fall right at the top of your pants line…crops are here to stay!

    Maxi dresses – There’s nothing like a long, flowy dress to make you feel sexy.  Less is more with a maxi and that feeling is loved by everyone.  Don’t say goodbye to your maxi collection.

    Red lips – lipstick is probably the most inexpensive accessory you can get your hands and it’s the most effective.  Don’t underestimate the power of a bold lip color.  It’s instant glam.  And red lips have held it’s place in fashion a long, long, long time ago and will continue to be.

    Hats – Fedoras, wide brimmed, baseball cap…hats are a definite timeless accessory.

    Confidence – Nothing grabs attention or looks good on you better than being confident in yourself. Everyone around you will see it too!

  • BLB Trunk Show NYE Party

    On NYE, we threw a trunk show for all of the party goers that were coming to downtown San Antonio to bring in their 2016.  The invites were posted on our social media pages for everyone to come out and get their NYE celebration started early.

    The morning of the event was so hectic!  As usual, I was running out grabbing champagne bottles, sweets, glasses, plates…basically everything needed to throw a decent party.  I haven’t quite figured out why I always wait until the very last minute to put things together but I’ve been like this my entire life!  And somehow, everything always falls right into place.  Whether it’s because there’s nothing I can do at that point or maybe because the event actually is perfect.  But since a time machine doesn’t exist (yet) to go back and change things, I’m usually well into going with the flow once the party begins.

    foodattrunkshow

    Cake, cookies & champagne were on the menu.  Great way to bring in 2016 unless diet was on your list of resolutions.

    Upon walking up the steps into the Blue Labels Boutique, you will always find a can full of props for selfies and pics!  For the party, we decided to bring the can inside and it was a big hit!

    We had fabulous other entrepreneurs at the event as well.

    Unfortunately, there was mishap in the dressing room.  Okay, a toddler was left unattended and this happened.  Fortunately, the baby wasn’t hurt.  Note to self: remind people to look after their babies.

    It was completely my intention to provide lots of pics for the event but did I mention we have free flowing champagne?  A girls best friends…. more pics next time.  Cheers!  Thanks to everyone who came out to shop and enjoy the event with us.

                        Stay fearless!

  • “I’m Shopping For Something Different”

    If you were to ask the average person if, “Shopping required skill?”, they would laugh it off and say,”no”.   If you asked me that question, I would say that, “it depends…are you basic or nawl?”  Unfortunately, this isn’t a yes or no question.  Yes…shopping is easy is you are a basic.  There’s no skill in picking a pair of beige leggings or a black cardigan.  Fortunately, I’m far from basic and you are far from basic too, right?  I mean any girl who shops at Blue Labels Boutique can be labeled alot of things but basic isn’t one of them!  Unique, innovative, fearless would be more appropriate  words to use when describing our style.  So when it comes to shopping…it isn’t as easy as it seems.  We just make it look easy.  Since most are more prone to doing what everyone, it’s easy to shop for what everyone is wearing.  But “different, unique” is not so easy to find when your shopping.  We can fix that though…

    Picture this…

    You walk or log into Blue Labels Boutique

    A BLB Bombshell greets you and asks, “If there something that I can help you find?”

    You answer, “I’m shopping for accessories but I’m looking for something different.”

    “Follow me…”
