Ballet Hits the Runway || The Viktor & Rolf Haute Couture s/s 2014 show in one word...AMAZING! Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren are the masterminds behind the Amsterdam-based fashion house, Viktor & Rolf, founded in 1993. The fashion duo, who also makes fragrances, launched new perfume, Bonbon, in a theatrical performance on the runway featuring ballerinas. This is truly a take on when the arts meet style!
How to Wear Denim at Work
Work Style Denim || In past careers, I've been fortunate enough to be able to wear whatever I want to work. Working in a creative industry tends to lend itself to a creative style environment. And I must admit, I love it! However, in my new career, everyday is a business casual day. So, this is now how I wear denim at work. #CantStopWontStop

Leanila Style | Biker Jeans
Biker Jeans || Defined, biker jeans are skinny jeans with a bit of flare like the hint of shimmer and ankle zippers on these. Yes, "biker jeans" is my very own made up term for my lovely skinny jeans. I loved these jeans so much that when they shrunk on me (because I refuse to believe that I gained weight and outgrew them), I had to run to H&M and desperately find another pair. I bought Biker Jeans #1 almost two years ago; so, I was a bit surprised to find that they still carried them. Granted they were a bit darker in color, but nonetheless they were the jeans I was looking for, Biker Jeans #2. H&M, oh how I love you!

Simple Winter Style
Simplicity. I must admit; I've often struggled with the idea of keeping it simple when it pertains to style. I love accessories, shoes, designs, layering blazers and scarves. So, it can become a task for me to dress it down at times. However, with this outfit, I wanted my statement necklace to stand out. So, what better way of doing that then adding a few simple pieces to my outfit.
This necklace is a gem that I found at a vintage store while shopping in downtown Reykjavik, Iceland. I use to shop for souvenirs like fridge magnets, t-shirts, or postcards when I travelled, but now, I love my latest practice of purchasing items that are unique, that I will actually use, and that tell a story; whether it's a decorative piece for the house or clothing/accessories.

Shine Bright | Happy New Year & shine bright! New Year's Eve was fantastic. Southern cuisine was on the menu at Georgia Browns; fried green tomatoes (best I've ever had), crab stuffed shrimp with spinach and mac and cheese, a side of collard greens, topped with my favorite dessert, red velvet cake. Afterwards, the New Year was brought in at church (Zion); a nice change from previous years.
For my New Year's Eve outfit, I knew I wanted to sparkle. So, I started with my new favorite gold top from Banana Republic. Option number 2 won but I think the other options will make an appearance some time in the future.
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3

What isn't there to love about FLOTUS' Style?
FLOTUS has far too many fabulous outfits to list them all but for a list with nearly all of her looks, check out @HuffPostStyle's slideshow here (scroll to the bottom of the article for the slideshow).
Her style is inspiring! She's not afraid to step out the box and give young, emerging designers a break. And, most importantly on our list, from time-to-time, she also loves to score a budget friendly aka #fabfind just like us! Our First Lady has been known to sport Michael Kors (as featured above) and J. Crew, among many other #fabfind friendly designers.
FLOTUS is definitely a STYLE star!
