    Army Jackets have been trending for years now, so it would be safe to say that its a wardrobe staple. A total must have, especially for those of us with a Tomboy Chic style. For this particular look I wanted to focus on a all black fit and add the camouflage print for a style pop.
    I enjoyed creating this style board. This fit is perfect for anyone wanting to hit a lounge or a hookah spot with friends. You can find an affordable Army jacket at any Thrift store or Salvation Army location in your city. Would you rock this look? Click on the item of your interest to find out how to purchase.

    Beyoncé looks killer in this fit! It's a very simple look. Instead of rocking all white from head to toe she added nudes to warm it up. If you're feeling Bey's trench coat just know that it's a Barneys exclusive brand design and it can be yours for $1395. Are you inspired by Mrs. Carter look?

    Lemar & Dauley have been doing their thing in the street-wear game since early 2000's. When I lived in the city I would see mad cats showing love to the L&D set. I'm glad to see that they are still making noise in the game.
Last month they linked up wit FILA to release the Mojito Cage and due to the awesome response they'll be releasing the Peach Mojito Cage come November.
    Same style different color!! OMG I really need these. Would you rock? This kick just made me super excited for the fall. LOVE IT.
    Dear LeMar & Dauley I realllllly need these in my life. If you'd be soooo kind to send me a 6.5(gs if available) or a wm size 8.5 I would love you guys FOR-EVVVER.
    Signed Candi The Peach color lover. sigh..

    It's officially Fall! Mrs. Autumn if you're nasty. Lol. Just kidding! As we all know fashion repeats itself all the time. But we have to know when to repeat certain trends, right!?! I don't want to see any of you rockin' exaggerated bell bottom jeans this season. Yes, fashion is about self expression and you can rock whatever you wanna...but if you want to rock the hottest trends...stick to this list. I've studied New York Fashion Week videos, browsed my favorite websites and magazines, stalked all my celebrity fashion crushes, and of course explored my own personal style. Again, this list will not come as a surprise because most of the items listed are the same ones I listed on my trend report last year! Lol. So check out the list, print it to browse your own walk-in closet, or take it with you thrift store shopping, online shopping and even shopping in stores! It will come in handy...thank me later.

Addicted2Candi STYLE MAIL: All White Everything Just Married Style

    A reader of www.addicted2candi.com wrote in for us to style a look for her in November after her wedding. She wanted to wear "all white everything" but didn't want to rock another dress. So here is the look I came up with for her. I think its perfect because its a fitted suit with a peplum detail. Also, the top is white but there is lace to give this look some texture. You should find ways to play with texture whenever you wear all of one color. There has to be some type of flair added to the look. The lace did that! And of course gold compliments white the best in my opinion. And pointy pumps are back in style and look the best with these fitted trousers! What do you think of this look? And please give congrats to the bride to be, Yolanda Hines! Click here for additional details on the items.

    Chanel Iman is so beautiful...OMG, absolutely stunning! The young model was recently seen in New York City at a photoshoot rocking a very rocker chic look. The stylist paired a mini bodycon dress with a red leather moto jacket, quilted ankle booties, a sleek black bag, and silver jewelry! Her hair is flawless and so is the makeup. And ladies...this dress is super short but for some reason this chick makes this 'fit look so feminine, classy and sexy all at the same time. This is how you do it! Lol. You can wear this combo on a date, a night out with your girls or even if you just want to look fierce on a shopping trip by yourself! I've styled a look for less for you below. All items are very affordable too...just like I love them to be! What do you think of Chanel's NYC look!?! Don't forget to leave a comment!

    I know you remember back in the day the fellas use to rock the hell out of their authentic basketball jerseys! Lol. And as soon as it "wasn't cool" anymore they put them away. What did they do with all those damn jerseys!?! I mean every dude had at least 3 or more! Lol. With the matching sneakers and all. Don't worry...they aren't back in style yet. But I have spotted a few fashionistas rocking football jersey dresses...and look fab too! I personally love the trend...not sure how much it will catch on...but whatever. We do what we want when it comes to style, right!?! I didn't style any basketball jerseys but these are more of a football jersey style. I think this trend is so much fun because you can be sporty and chic! Its the perfect combination that will make your outfit go from ordinary to BAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMM! LOL. I've style a few looks for you below to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
    Now tell us...would you rock a jersey like this?
