It's a Collaboration: Keyshia Cole + Steve Madden {Sneak Peek}

Steve Madden + Keyshia Cole, R&B singer {LOVE her music she’s a great songwriter too} are set to debut their second collaboration very soon! KC shared a snippet of the collection via her IG page as well as a new single {HERE}. From what I’m seeing, the collection is HOT!

The campaign definitely grabs your attention; Keyshia Cole is known to switch up her look a lot.  She's pretty good at hitting the target, for her personal style…hair and beauty are pluses for KC.

This collaboration is a 2014 Spring/Summer Collection featuring cut-out boots {my faves}, strappy heels with vibrant colors and floral prints, as well as a pair of checkered heels with some serious edge appeal {second faves}. Prices are going to be awesome, its Steve Madden!

Lakia Fashae': must have Closet Staples for FALL!!

Every Fall there are a few items a That Fashion Chick shouldn't live without.  Key staples can stay on hand forever {for the most part}...two years is a good shelf life when rotating/upgrading items.

Here are my must-have closet staples for Fall!

Why, you ask?!:

Wedge Booties ~ goes with everything and somewhat unexpected
Red Lip ~ classic that will never fade...when in doubt, go red
Combat Boots ~ great style changer...works perfect for those comfy Fall looks
Leather Gloves ~ subtle statement saying 'it's cold, but I'm still chic!'
Classic Pea {or Trench} Coat ~ works with all looks from classy to grunge 
Statement Sweater ~ adds personality to winter's #1 staple piece
Stylish Beanie ~ something quick to throw on...try animal print {instant attraction}
Grey Printed Tights ~ a nice alternative to black and brings out a different pop to your look
Tribal Print Cardigan ~ you should have a closet full of cardigans; excellent layer piece. Tribal print in different styles is the way to go this year
Knit Scarf ~ a knit scarf should always be handy
Black Full Skirt ~ this style is very trendy right now. Black skirt {like the LBD} goes with everything and the style combos are endless
Fall Nail Polish ~ no neon and no dullness..have at it!
Straight Leg Denim ~ my go to denim {LOVE my skinnies too}...dark wash for Fall/Winter. Great transition after the summer-skinnies

These are just a few staple pieces that are a must and will keep you trendy {for all ages and sizes} just match to your personal style. Swap out pieces amongst each other, and add to create a new look...layers are your friend. Just remember balance & proportion!

I received an email sign up from JewelMint on behalf of ShoeMint!

It looks like actress and fashionista, Rachel Bilson, is giving us shoemint.com.  It is a replica of JewelMint, only with shoes!  This should be good.  Bilson is always giving her fashion advice and she is already dubbed a fashion icon, so this should be a successful venture. 

It looks to be even better being that she is getting help from celebrity stylist, Nicole Chavez and shoe legend, Steve Madden.

I already signed so here is my invite to you!

Hurry, the launch is just days away. You want to make sure you get access to the limited Debut Collection!
