A few weeks ago, during an IG thumbing marathon, I was blessed to stumble across @fromsunnywithlove. This LA-based actress/fashion blogger has an unique and bold style that proves she lives in fashion not fear. I reached out to Sunny to express my style envy and asked her to select her top pick from BLB to style for us and she said, “yes!”
She chose the Too Tied Jumper and her styling was on point, just like I knew it would be.

Blue Labels Boutique was invited to participate in a fashion show during halftime at a Texas Fuel basketball game. We happily accepted!
The invite was received only a few days before the event but we made it happen. Stay ready so you never have to be ready, right?
Here are some of the pics captured during the event.
Dressed and ready to go…these beauties are waiting for the show to start. Oh, the life of a model!
The time on the clock dwindles down to zero in the second quarter and the girls get lined up and ready to go.
With no time to plan for camera/lighting and the whole set up…the show must go on! Check out what we were able to capture on a camera phone.
It’s showtime!
Thanks to all of the beauties who rocked the show and came out to support!

March 20th is the official first day of Spring! And who can’t wait for that?! Although, in Texas, we have some of the best weather anyone could ask for, Spring just adds an touch of excitement in the air. For a fashionista though, we yearn for the bright colors, ultra feminine dresses, and floral prints that you are more prone to rock this time of the year.
If you haven’t copped your first Spring frock of the year then this is definitely something you want to check out. BLB is having an awesome sale on such pretty must haves for Spring. So, if your closet isn’t Spring ready, it will be! Check out the Spring Sale happening at Blue Labels Boutique right now! Shop the sale here.

Monday was closing day at our first pop up shop and it was quite the experience. Being able to talk to, laugh with, and share fashion stories with actual Blue Labels Boutique bombshells was amazing! Also, the experience taught so many lessons. From learning what it really takes to run a boutique, full-time, when you are the only employee to being able to effectively throw professional shade when faced with mean-spirited, know-it-alls. 😏
For those of you who didn’t get a chance to stop by and for those who are already missing it, we got you! Take a quick tour of the space and get ready to raise your glass as we celebrate the completion of our first pop up shop!
Thanks for riding on the passenger side of the BLB journey. Follow us to make sure you stay up to date on fashion, living the fearless life, and where we will be popping up next!

Happy Monday! Pour your coffee, take a sip, and take a look at some fashion-related news that you can use.
On Thursday of last week, Kanye West debut his newest fashion collection along with his album at Madison Square Garden. I was lucky enough to stream the event live on Tidal, so it felt like I had some sort of behind the scenes access! Picture this…a huge stadium filled with people, with two huge silky sheets of fabric billowing upwards to create a sort of dome to cover what was going on underneath. Off to the side, Kanye can be seen orchestrating what is about to happen, talking to this person, pointing in different directions, and adjusting what looks to be a playlist on his phone or something. Suddenly, the must starts and you can’t help to bob your head to his music that was pumping out of those speakers. Then, just as you’re are grooving to the music and can no longer stand the anticipation…the sheets come down, and they finally reveal what’s going on under all of that fabric. Two tall high rises full of models. One of female models and the other was men. Plus, hundreds (at least it looked like hundreds) of models on the floor surrounding the high-rises. Not to mention legends Naomi Campbell and Veronica Webb graced the scene! Each of them wearing a mean-mug and Kanyes’ collection. The unique color blocking, luxe fabrics, tantalizing textures, and stunning silhouettes left me wanting to shop the collection right away. For me, music and fashion have always gone together like wheat rice and soy sauce. If I’m feeling sexy, you might catch me in the closet looking for my favorite bodycon dress while dancing to Miguel. Or rocking future Future and riding with the roof open in my ripped denim, crop, and floppy hat. It’s all about the mood that fashion and music give. Kanyes’ show mixed fashion and music that set an inspirational mood for me, for sure. Take a look images available from Kanye West show and let us know what mood it gives you?
2. NBA All Star Weekend
The past few years of NBA All Star Events have not been as exciting as they used to. But this year was something different. The celebrity game left me laughing so hard that I was crying. Plus, the 3 point shooting and slam dunk contest left me leaping off the couch like a frog. Yep, it was definitely the best in quite some time. But as usual, I kept a keen an on the fashion. Toronto was super cold so it was definitely fun to see how people styled themselves in that cold ass weather! Take some time to check out your fave celebs Instagram and you’re sure to see their All Star style.
3. The EE BAFTA Film Awards 2016
This British-based award show honors the best British and worldwide talent. It kicked off Sunday and let me tell you, some of the attendees set the red carpet on fire! Check out looks caught on the red carpet and let us know which looks are your fave? (AOL)
4. Rhianna Debuts A Fashion Collection
Kanye wasn’t the only music star to debut clothing in NYFW. Rhianna also debut get her new collection. It is the epic mix of athleisure style with lots of sex appeal. This girl knows how to speak through her collection. She stayed true to her fashion form. Nothing like a fearless chic who has style! Chic out pics caught from her show and let us know what you think of the collection? (Glamour)

When Warby Parker reached out to BLB on sharing their new 2016 Spring Collection with our readers we jumped on the opportunity! They are already well known for their great prices, personal try on shopping experience, unique details and their charity initiatives. I mean their charity contributions are outstanding. This American brand prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses company has a charity program named, “Buy a Pair, Give A Pair”. With this program, they give a pair of eyeglasses to people in need for each pair that they sell. To date, they have distributed over 1,000,000 pairs of glasses! Talk about making a difference.
Most people don’t put much effort in picking sunglasses and/or eyeglasses. But there’s should definitely be more thought put into it. I mean think about it…everyone wears some form of glasses. All genders, age groups, heck, even dogs rock sunglasses! They really should be considered the absolute, most important accessory that you will ever buy in your life!
If you wear eyeglasses then you know, that you can’t live without them. You wear them all day long, they are within arms reach when you’re sleeping at night, you protect them with a case in your handbag; sounds like a pretty important accessory to me! Since you depend on them so much, why not make sure you’re picking the best, most suitable style for you?!
The first step in making the right choice is by selecting a shape that compliments your facial shape. Here’s an easy guide to follow:
Still staring in the mirror trying to determine your facial shape? No worries! Warby Parkers’ Home Try On program will easily solve that problem. Pick 5 frames, they’ll ship them to you for free and you can test drive them for 5 days. Return the ones that don’t work out and they will cover your return shipping costs!
Coordinate them to the office with these tops!
If you aren’t the keepin’ it neutral type, then these bold colored frames are calling your name! The colors are bold and bright without being distracting and overdone.
(wearing Laurel and Presto styles)
Wear them with an outfit that matches their boldness…
On February 2nd, the Groundhog Club emcee proclaimed, “There is no shadow to be cast! An early spring is my forecast!” and we’ve been rejoicing ever since. That means it will be soon time to break out the sunglasses in all parts of the world. Good thing, Warby Parker has you covered with their new collection. The fit and shape look great on any and everyone. They even have a crystal embedded in the bottom frames to add to their coolness. You will love protecting your eyes with these beauties:
Rock those sunnies with an outfit that screams, Welcome Spring!
You can even grab a pair for Bae!
Shop the full Warby Parker Spring 2016 Eyeglasses Collection
The frames starts at only $95, so feel free to get carried away!
Increase your style factor and someone else’ that is less fortunate than you by coping your next pair of glasses from Warby Parker. Happy Shopping!

Happy Monday. You may not be happy that it’s Monday, but thats what it is so guess we have to get over it! 😉 If you find yourself feeling not so jovial, there’s nothing like fashion to brighten your day, right?
Welcome to the Monday Mashup. Each week, BLB will share a few highlights on what occurred in the fabulous world of fashion over the weekend. So grab a cup of coffee, sip, and take a look at tea that you can discuss with your girls on your lunch break today.
2. Actress, Aujanue Ellis, arrived on the NAACP red carpet in a gorgeous white, long-sleeve, cleavage baring dress but there was something a bit different about this look than we have seen before. The front of the dress displayed words giving her opinion on a political topic that is going on in Mississippi right now. Take a look at her dress here. (cnn.com) What’s your take on this issue?
3. Susan Sarandon’s 62-year old cleavage. My take on wearing sexy styles is and always will be to rock it, while you got it! I mean if the girls are looking good, why not put them on a display just a lil’ bit? Thats just my opinion and everyone has one. Apparently tv show host, Piers Morgan, thinks differently and posted his opinion on twitter. Take a gather at her bustling cleavage and what Mr. Morgan had to say about it. (cnn.com) Should there a cleavage curfew once women hit a certain age, what do you think?
4. Mens Fashion Week! I didn’t have the pleasure of attending but the pics. Oh my goodness… Male models, athletes, the fashion, the parties, it definitely looked a like a good time. Warning: before checking out the pics, grab a piece of for your drool and check out the pics here. (cfda.com)
Have a great week and go make your own fashion news!
