Pamela’s floral dress

floral dress

We continue our theme of florals with this lovely piece by Pamela Pitts. Pamela is a stylist, lady boss and many other things over at L’BAE

Maybe you’re thinking floral? Who likes flowers that much to put on a dress? I do, as well as many other women! Think of it this way: you know how you feel when you receive flowers from your husband or significant other? Well it’s like that but even better because these flowers will not die but instead stay in bloom forever or as long as your dress stays intact. As you walk and twirl around whimsical in your floral dress you will attract attention like bees on honey because that’s how noticeable you will be. Now that’s hott!

Okay so maybe you’re thinking “I don’t want to attract bees” or in other words be the center of attraction. That is okay! I’m just saying that a woman who is bold enough to wear a printed floral dress is pretty bold and others will notice as well.

The floral dress will make you feel as though you run the world as Beyonce would say. It speaks life, confidence, creativity and a captivating sense of style that any woman would desire whether you like floral or not. The print itself is so bold and daring that you need not match it with any other print. A solid sweater, shawl, jean jacket or vest now that it is getting hot will suffice. Have I grasped your attention enough to try it? Come on… You know that you are envisioning yourself dressed to the nines in your floral dress, with your hair and makeup beat by the Gods themselves! (Check out the L’BAE Cosmetics as they will surely bring your face to life! www.lbaeinspire.net) Wearing floral is all in the sense of having fun with your wardrobe, and bringing out a little character as well as inspiration for the next female who may have the desire to let out her own inner sense of boldness.

Tips for the Floral Dress

  1. Accessories…Warning be careful- Because the floral prints can already be bold and daring you want to make sure that you are not overpowering your look with too many added pieces. Depending on the style, shape, and size of your floral print you want to add accessories that accentuate your floral dress and not clash with it. A solid pearl, thin silver or gold necklace with a few bracelets would work great.
  2. Shoes- The shoe that you choose for your floral dress can be any shoe/sandal that you desire: strap, lace-up, wedge, thong sandal, high heel, closed or open toed. This all depends on the look that you are going for; edgy, classy, casual, or sassy. Make the look all you.
  3. Hair/Makeup- When wearing a floral dress you want to make sure that your hair and makeup match your feeling and attitude as it pertains to the style, shape, and fabric of your floral dress. Just as with the shoes and accessories you don’t want to overpower your look or take away from the floral print, but you definitely want to make it all about you. A sleek bun, ponytail that flows, wavy, curly, or even straight hair all go well with the floral dress as well as a full face of makeup, or no makeup at all with just a little gloss.

These are just a few tips as the floral dress is a statement within itself. I hope you feel good in your floral dress wearing it the way that makes you feel most like yourself! Be true to you!

I absolutely love the dress that has ruffles and tulle that makes for a sophistication that adds elegance to the dress that’s dull. The combination of both requires confidence when wearing as the woman who puts the fabrics together has a self-assurance that is daring. Yes you have to have some confidence to wear ruffles and tulle. You know the kind of spice that adds kick to any fuel! The fuel is the inspiration that we all have within; sometimes we need a sizzle to allow our creativity to begin. Creative enough to wear that dress with a shape that stands out, making a statement that you are here and fashion is what it’s all about. Yes so glamorous and chic you are, just adding the right pair of heels and you will look just like a star! Maybe you feel that the tulle fabric isn’t really for you as this material can seem hard, itchy and unattractive. Or maybe the ruffles remind you of your childhood days as you twirled around in your kiddish ways! Its okay for ruffles and tulle are back in style again so reacquaint you with yourself… your childhood friend! The one who remembers twirling around in ruffles and tulle, hey that’s you isn’t this so cool! It’s a wonderful thing to witness an old trend!

Satin, Lace, Bows and Ties

Spring is approaching and the time for the beauty of dresses adorned with satin, lace, bows and ties combined with the glam of a lovely hat is upon us. I love a great lace dress. Oh what a beautiful time this is to see a variety of females young and old draped in an array of colors, fabrics, and style. Each individual walks with confidence in the dress that they have chosen whether for that special occasion or just to be fashion forward while walking in the park. Yes confidence! To embellish your dress any way that you would like in order to give it that pizzazz that will turn heads near and far. It’s that time! Time to adorn your dress with satin, lace, bows and ties! This is such an exciting time for all of us fashionistas as beauty and glamour begin to emerge right before our eyes! Maybe you desire to feel this same excitement as you shop for your special occasion dress, but need a little help with how to make your dress pop. It’s ok; here are a few tips on how to add satin, lace, bows, and ties to your dress:

lace dress

One lace dress here.

  1. The satin and lace look

    Ok ladies it doesn’t matter if you wear your little black, red, green, or navy blue dress, color is not important when adding a satin or lace piece of material. Just make sure that whatever satin color you choose to use matches in contrast with the dress; such as a yellow dress can use a white satin or blue satin material. It’s your personal preference.

  • How to wear satin and lace- Tie the satin or lace material strip long or short in length around your waist in order to give a perfect silhouette shape to any figure and a polished look to any style dress. You can allow the material to drape, tie it into a bow, or secure it with a small safety pin for the belted look.
  • The lace can be hot glued with fabric glue around the collar or sleeves of your dress. This look is even cute on sleeveless dresses around the borders of the dress.
  • You can choose any pattern of satin material strip to adorn your dress. One of my favorites is to use a polka dot satin strip on an all black or white dress. This look is so cute and chic for spring and summer!

lace dress

Another classic lace here.

  1. Bows and Ties-

    I absolutely adore bows and ties as they bring to life any style, or color, dress. It may sound weird but this is a true fashion statement to add a bow or tie to your dress. If you have a yellow summer dress and you add a pink tie (thin fabric) which stops at the mid chest and a pair of white pearl earrings… can you say WOW! This look can be accomplished with a cute pink bow tie as well! A bow I know may sound a bit kid dish but a woman can add a bow to the right place on her dress and achieve sophistication. I’ve seen it as well as have done it myself! Try it…if you don’t like it take it off!

That’s the fun about fashion: no one person is alike. We can all wear our ideas, styles and colors as it relates to a dress differently. The important thing is to feel good when you decide how you will adorn your dress with satin, lace, bows, and ties! Just be you, and make it your own! Have a L’BAE (Living Blessed and Empowered) Day! I Am!

5 tips for wearing a polka dot dress

Our weekly post by Pamela Pitts …

I know you may be wondering why the topic of a polka dot dress? Well simply because I love polka dots as they are my absolute favorite pattern. They give life to any style whether jeans, a skirt, shorts or even sexy polka dot skorts.

Today I want to focus on the life that the polka dot print brings to a dress! I love the eras of the 20’s, 30s’, 40’s, and 50’s. Women really took the time to enhance their outer beauty from their hair to their makeup down to their corset. Everything was done with such grace and class! Chic and Sophistication is what the polka dot represents! A print that is bold and courageous yet soft and sophisticated enough to whisper to the audience that they have arrived and their presence is known! When wearing such a strong print… I admit, you have to be bold within yourself to wear the polka dot dress, as everyone will not be able to pull this look off. Confidence is a must with any print but especially when wearing polka dots. So become confident in whom you are and pull out that a polka dot dress! You don’t have one… well it’s about time that you go buy one! Ok maybe you don’t feel quite sure and feel a little apprehensive as you have never worn a polka dot dress before. It’s ok; I have listed a few stylish ways to wear your polka dot dress:

  1. Add pearls to accent the polka dots… these can be any size, large or small, as well as any color as the addition of a color such as turquoise, pink, or red will make the black and white polka dot dress pop. The color yellow is even striking when worn with a polka dot dress.
  2. Any style of a polka dress will be fashionably chic. Just find the one that accentuates who you are as an individual. Your dress can be long, short, fitting, or loose, whichever way you like to see your polka dots fall.
  3. Adding a plain black or white scarf as a necktie always brings about class, and sophistication.
  4. A sophisticated heel such as a nice stiletto (black, red or white, depending on the season, you could even put on a green or a blue; whatever color you like) will give you the desired height to prance ever so gracefully to your destination.
  5. Turn on YOU… Once you put on your polka dot dress and feel confident, radiant and stylish, then you are ready to hit the town! Have fun, smile, and gleam of style as you turn heads of those that will be like WOW!. Hahaha like my rhyme!

The polka dot dress is a statement piece to be worn for centuries to come so don’t shy away, but embrace the difference of standing out and being the one that caught everyone else’s eye! Polka dots are in…. Fashion is where to begin!! Put on the Polka Dot Dress! L’BAE All Day… every day!

That Beautiful Dress

That beautiful dress … you know the one that hugs your every curve, fitting you so perfectly as if it was made especially for you! The dress that sends the message to others that you have arrived! The dress that defines who you are by its prints, shape and style without having to add any accessories. You have this dress right? If not, then you should!

It’s that go to piece that is appropriate for any occasion and season as well. The dress that captivates others and sparks a curiosity leading to the question: where does she shop? The fabric of the dress whether flowy, airy, light, or stiff and defined is the fabric of your choice and enhances your every move. As you walk the fabric gently mimics your strut as it allows just enough movement to state that the two of you are separate and you are in control. You decide how you want to wear the dress: long, short, medium in length, straps or strapless, fitted or loose. Whether or not to add a belt, beads, jewels or a sweater is up to you as your beautiful dress is perfect just the way it is!

A Few Tips to Consider when Wearing your Beautiful Dress

  1. Always have a cute cover piece for those short dresses That show too much of your legs when you sit. This can be a shear piece of material that matches the color scheme of your dress.
  2. The long dress Make sure that you give yourself enough of a hem not to step on the dress entangling your shoes and causing you to trip. This is a horrible and embarrassing situation to occur! Here’s a trick if your dress is too long (such as the case with some maxi dresses): you can knot one of the ends giving you still a sexy but low maintenance affect. Or you can merely grab a small part of your dress and hold it as you walk!
  3. The Flowy dress Make sure that you have on a sexy pair of thongs, boy shorts or a slip if you are modest just in case your dress is see through and rises in the wind! Color coordinating of your under garments are good for the flowy dress!
  4. The fitted dress Make sure that you give yourself wiggle room as you wear the fitted dress, you wouldn’t want to take a seat and have your dress rip right from under you! That would be a cool but unwanted breeze!
  5. Finally when wearing your beautiful dress feel the way you look. In other words, adorn your dress with the beautiful characteristics that are naturally a part of you… your smile, your body language and your own self-worth. It will bring to life your beautiful dress as well as you!

Have fun in your beautiful dress as you twirl around in joy and excitement wearing your dress to the remarkable endless places of life’s journey! What better way to enjoy life than to be wearing a dress that makes you feel beautiful both inside and out! Twirl on! L’BAE All Day… Every Day!

Pamela’s Love Makeover

We sure do love Pamela! This is our weekly column from the wonderful Pamela Pitts, owner of LBAE.

love

Hi L’BAE Nation you beautiful blessed people of God! There has been so much love in the air in the month of February between my 16th year wedding anniversary and Valentine’s Day that I am not ready to let go of the topic of love! Yes I know that love is continuous and that it doesn’t matter the time, day, or month of the year and that is exactly why I’m going to write about it today! Love is an emotion or feeling that some people would say that they have never felt, or are still yearning to have! This is a sad but true statement, as many of you reading this post may be able to relate! How does love feel? How does one acquire love? It depends, are you desiring love from the opposite sex such as a companion to spend the rest of your life with? Or do you desire the love from a family member such as your mother, father, sister, or brother? Maybe your desire is for your best friend to love you in the same capacity that you love them. Either way love (to me) is:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8New International Version (NIV)

This is how I think of Love when I say that I feel this way towards others. To answer the above questions as to how to acquire love from those you desire, I would say to just be yourself, let your light shine through and others will not be able to resist the natural attraction that will occur just from being honest. This post may seem a little depressing but it is important for us as humans to know that we not only need to receive love but that we also need to show/give it!

Attraction …

Is defined as to be lured, drawn, pulled or excited by something. In this case, another human being. Are you alluring to others? This could mean in any form or facets as we are all created with a multiplicity of unique qualities and attributions. Okay maybe you are wondering whether or not you are attracting to others? This is something that you would truly have to search within in order to answer. No worries for those that may need a little surface support in other words the exterior portion of who you are can be glam up with a little Love Makeover!

The Love Make Over

The love makeover is a little check list that I created in order to make sure that I am attracting positive people/things to my life. This check list can be used for many occasions and is always available when needed. Here are a few tips to create your own Love makeover check list:

  • A Positive Self-Regard not boastful but feeling good about one’s self.
  • A Smile that Gleams
  • A Polished Hygiene; Clean Hair, Fresh Breathe, Superb Body Odor
  • Fashion Forward– Hair, makeup (visit www. lbaeinspire.net), wardrobe/ shoes fit for any occasion
  • A Sharp Mental Capacity; in other words able to hold an intellectual conversation on any level.
  • A Positive Attitude– No one wants to hang out with Negative Nancy!
  • A Positive Word Vocabulary; Say nice things to people, give a compliment

These are just a few topics that I have on my Love Makeover list as these are the ones that I think are important for building a rapport with people from all walks of life. As an individual you must create your own Love make over list that fits who you are and your desires for those whom you are trying to attract, in order to establish and build upon a relationship that will blossom into love.

Remember love is patient, and love is kind…. Don’t rush it! It will come! Have a beautiful L’BAE Day! I am!

The Love of My Life

My husband and I just recently celebrated our 16-year wedding anniversary. It sounds amazing and it is, but now that Valentine’s Day is approaching what on earth can I get him and what will he get me? I know many of you may be wondering the same question as it relates to your significant other. This question poses an interesting answer when birthdays and other special occasions arise near the same date.

The answer…. Nothing! What? Yes absolutely nothing! Just kidding! You buy your spouse, or companion whatever it is that you would like for them to have! In my case my husband loves watches. It doesn’t matter how many he has. I know that he will still appreciate this as a gift. I on the other hand, call me spoiled, but my husband knows not to buy me real flowers. I hate the fact that they die. I like artificial flowers that I can keep forever on special occasions as well as a piece of jewelry to remember the date!

My point… Know your mate! His/hers likes and dislikes and you will be sure to win. One point that I would like to make clear although the gifts are nice and may be special for this Valentine’s Day occasion, always remember that love is from the heart and the gift is just an added bonus! So love on the “Love of your Life” even if it’s yourself and Enjoy! I pray that you all have a beautiful L’BAE Valentine’s Day! I Am… L’BAE All Day Every Day! I’m Pamela the Inspirationalist… Make it a L’BAE Day!

Easy, keep your attire cute and classy (CAC)! Love It! In other words keep it Simple! There is no need to go all out and spend a fortune on an outfit as long as you can be chic. You can be fashionable with the clothes already in your closet. Remember that everyone has their own sense of style so, do not feel pressured or challenged by what you may see someone else wear as this is a time for relaxation not a pass or fail test on who wore it better! You can choose whether or not to wear a dress, jeans and a cute top, high heels or flats, as it is a personal choice for the occasion in which you have planned.

I chose to wear a colorful floral dress with hints of reds, gold and black with a pair of cream high-heeled suede boots and a black sweater to tie it all together. I chose this outfit because I knew that my husband and I were going to an elegant restaurant for dinner and then to hear some jazz afterwards. The outfit that I chose would serve its purpose for style, comfort and keeping my husband’s attention! I will be able to comfortably enjoy myself in a relaxing atmosphere and still look stunning while doing so!

Hat-o-luscious

Hiiii L’BAE Nation you beautiful blessed people of God! Yes Hat-O-Luscious! Hats! Hats! Hats! I can’t shout this word loud enough. They are a Delicious, succulent part of any woman’s wardrobe, as they make any outfit come alive! Yes I described a hat as if I was eating a juicy t-bone steak with all of the trimmings! The exhilaration of putting on a hat to complete my look sends the chills of aspiration through my soul as I look in the mirror knowing that I have accomplished my goal of perfection! Yes my outfit is Flawless! You may think that I’m going a little overboard about wearing a hat, but you must realize that just by adding a simple accessory such as the hat can totally transform any look from drab to fab! What kind of hats might you ask? Oh My Gosh, this is the exciting part, as any kind of hat will suffice.

hats

Hat of Choice

Hats! The style, size, color, shape and material are all a personal preference. Big Hats, floppy hats, fedora hats, ball caps, newsboy caps, skullies and so much more. There are so many styles and variations of hats for you to choose from. But the most important thing for any fashion statement is to wear the one that brings out the confidence in you! Whatever makes you feel good wear it! You will automatically look good!

Time for Hats

This is the season that you open up your closets and pull out that hat that sets your mood. Yes it’s cold outside, and we all understand but this does not mean that you have to exit your home looking like an individual with no sense of style! Choosing the hat that will keep you warm on the inside but have you looking like you are dreary on the outside is not a stylish option. Maybe you feel that you don’t want to be stylish and only want to stay warm? If this is you, that’s all right, as keeping healthy always takes precedence over style any day. Although you may have your doubts about wearing certain kinds of hats in this weather, there is an alternative to having both warmth and style when choosing any hat from your closet.

Wearing Hats with Style, Ease and Comfort

You may be wondering how you can wear a stylish hat and still keep warm in freezing degree weather. Well, it’s easy. Any hat that you may have no matter the size or shape can be worn. You simply add a scarf over your head allowing the ends to drape around your neck and then add your hat! Bam! You are now warm, comfortable and stylish! That way upon entering your destination whether your office, church or a friend’s house, you can once again simply remove your hat, undrape your scarf and put your hat back on! Styling and warming yourself with the rays of inner glow as you exude confidence knowing that your hat is killing it!

Enjoy this cold weather, taking advantage of the various ways that you can enhance your wardrobe with the assortment of hats. Yes hats! This accessory is by far the best adornment that a woman can have in her closet. What are you waiting for? Get your hats ready for wearing! If you do not have a fashion forward hat in your closet then now is the time for you to get one. Yes, shopping time! L’BAE All Day… Every Day! I’m Pamela the Inspirationalist, make it a L’BAE Day!

L’BAE: The Winter Blue- Blahs

Our lovely weekly column from Ms. Pamela Pitts:

Hi L’BAE Nation you beautiful blessed people of God! Yes I know it’s ugly outside and there is nothing that you’s rather do than to sit by a fire place and drink hot cocoa, but unfortunately many of us have to go outside and tackle the coldness to work or to run errands. In either case, we have to go out! Let’s not think about the dreariness of the winter weather. Instead, let’s keep a ray of sunshine over our heads by dressing like it’s still spring and summer time. That’s right, add color!

winter

 

Color blocks the winter blue-blahs

Although your blues, blacks and grays may seem to match the weather outside, it’s time to take control! Take control of how you feel! If you feel blah, then you will dress and look blah. Adding color to your skin and wardrobe will enhance your emotional state, causing a positive reaction to occur. What does this mean? Add a new color lipstick, eye shadow or hair color to an accenting wardrobe and BAM you have hit the jackpot! (Check out the L’BAE Cosmetics/Consultants www.lbaeinspire.net) Colorful expression is key as they will go great with your blues, blacks and grays! What colors might you ask? Whatever colors you like! Don’t be afraid to mix and match your wardrobe. Polka-dots with solids are fab as well as stripes or a floral print. Be bold and stand out! This will make the sun shine through you despite the dull atmosphere that’s outside!

Hair and Makeup Color is a great place to start!

Let’s start with a new hair color! If you have been brunette or black, go a little lighter to auburn or light honey brown. One level of change will not be harsh on your hair. You can also add some caramel highlights if an all -over color is too drastic of a change . This color contrast will definitely create a sun-kissed new you without washing you out.

winter

Next you can try a new lip color such as a coral or a plum as these colors are bold and captivating to any smile. If you don’t wear lipstick, try a colored lip gloss as the shine and the moisture will make any pair of lips feel amazing in these cold temperatures. For those of us that like to color our eyelids, an awesome eye shadow such as the one from the L’BAE cosmetic line will make those eyes pop! During the winter blue blahs, try colors that will accentuate your eyes such as gold, bronze, pink and apricot. These will add a glow of warmth and a dazzle of glamour as you trod out into the sub- zero degree weather…. burr!

The Natural Look

If Makeup is not something that you are into and the bold statement pieces in your wardrobe do not exist, it’s okay. Just be natural and be you! A little lip gloss and mascara can awaken any face without all of the glitz, glamour and fuss. It’s Amazing! Try it! Whatever is in your wardrobe, you bought it!
