I clearly love this Parker blazer and black and white shoes. I love this Parker blazer WITH black and white shoes. I love shoes. I love blazers. I love love.

Wait…

This time, I paired the blazer with an easy breezy seersucker Mossimo romper (yes, from Target) along with these Pour La Victoire Jemmy oxfords. They give me life, do you understand? Life. Like, I whisper sweet nothings to their soles and dream about the next time that we will be together.

I wish I could give you this feeling...

Have you ever experienced that day that won't stop? After work, there's happy hour with co-workers, of course, dinner with friends and you just have to "stop by" your favorite bar/lounge. I know if I go home, that's pretty much a wrap on the rest of the day! You now know it and my friends know it, too!

That's why this look was pretty spot on for the day that won't quit. Add the H&M blazer for business during the day, take it off for a little party at night.

Welp, I just popped my music video style consultant cherry! I had the pleasure of working with the super talented, single named (think Beyonce, Cher, Rihanna, and the list goes on), soul singer/songwriter Collette, on the shoot for her latest single "Never Told You" from her Juneteenth Revolution album. The video releases today. Like, right now!

I worked with Collette to come up with several looks to bring the vision of this single to life. Here are a couple of stills from the video shoot.

And just for good measure, before you get into this post, just give me three clicks worth of time at the Vanity Fair User's choice challenge here. Remember, there are TWO looks from The Werk! Place ("Mixed Up" and "Goal Digger") in the challenge. Thanks in advance for your support!
