FASHION FRIDAYS; FEARLESS FASHIONISTAS
First being fearless fashionistas is not mandatory here but is desired . What do I mean by fearless fashionistas is those daring people that love fashion and are able to express themselves using it. I'm one of those fearless fashionistas because fashion is my expression in life. Darlings this place here is intended to be informative, fun and sometimes thought provoking. Therefore this week I'm going to be thought provoking in this first post . Have a great weekend my dear followers.
FEARLESS FASHIONISTAS; SAY GOODBYE TO ONE OF THE MOST FEARLESS FASHIONISTAS
Here I am thinking about one of the most fearless fashionistas and I am heart sick. Therefore I am using this space to pay homage to someone who became my online friend . Kyrzayda Rodriguez was a popular fashion blogger who I found to be so honest truthful, fearless and fierce. I often commented on her blog posts as she so bravely shared her story , her battle with stomach cancer . When she told us about her struggles with chemo and losing her hair I cried. Hence the following months us followers shared with Kyrzayda and learnt from her fearless determination.
On Sunday, September 9, 2018 , Kyrzayda passed away . On Monday , September 10 , Joanne posted a message to Kyrzayda's Instagram to let her 500k followers know she had lost the battle; “You were someone who inspired so many people across the world. Not only were you an icon, you were an amazing daughter, mother and friend. Our hearts are broken to see you go. But we know you are no longer in pain and can now rest. Heaven has gained an Angel! We love you forever! – Joanne 8.18.78 – 9.9.18”.
In tribute to this fearless friend , I say to all of you she taught us to be brave, and kind and loving. Thank-you Kyrzayda.
FEARLESS FASHIONISTAS WEAR EMERALD THIS FALL

With emerald green being popular this fall , I've chosen some emerald accessories to complement your fall looks . This season's breakout look is
VERSACE -VERSUS
Here again my fearless fashionistas is another one of the great fashion houses being sold. Today Versus is known as Versace's second line and as a brand. Gianni Versace introduced Versus in 1989 describing it as, "Versus was born with an innate creative approach, with a strong focus on innovation, flair and the unconventional. An artistic force that takes present fashion forward, anticipating new trends and embracing challenge". First this diffusion line was created as a gift by the founder Gianni Versace to his sister, Donatella Versace.
Darlings check out my post VERSACE SOLD; WHY I LOVE THIS DARING PROVOCATIVE BRAND.
With the sale of Versace so goes Versus and this sale might worry me even more . Because the diffusion line of Michael Kors is Michael Kors Michael Kors which really is a non creative label . Therefore I am puzzled if Michaels Kor can handle this very innovative and unconventional brand. With that in mind let me give my choices from this great brand for Fall/Winter 18/19 . Maybe for the last time .......
ANOTHER ROYAL WEDDING
Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank will marry in just under two weeks, in the second royal wedding of 2018.
Eugenie, the Queen's granddaughter, became engaged to Mr Brooksbank, her long-term boyfriend, in Nicaragua in January. Princess Eugenie's parents, the Duke of York and his former wife Sarah Duchess of York, were "delighted" at the engagement, while Mr Brooksbank's parents said they were "completely over the moon".
The Duke of York announced in February that the couple would marry on Friday, October 12, in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex wed at the same venue on Saturday, May 19 earlier this year.
Some 600 guests, including A-list celebrities and senior royals, were in attendance at the 15-century chapel, while global audience of hundreds of millions tuned in to watch the ceremony. Therefore darlings if you happen to be one of that lucky 600 hundred our someone attending a royal wedding party what do you wear? Hence you could always reference my post on fall weddings,FALL WEDDING ; FOR THE FIRST TIME BE THE BEST DRESSED GUEST
Furthermore you may want to choose from my top choices for those Fall nuptials.
Saloni
Saloni's 'Lea' maxi dress is cut from fluid silk-satin jacquard that's patterned with a subtle floral pattern. It has gently puffed sleeves with an empire waistline that falls to a split hem. Wear it to a fall wedding with a pair of strappy metallic sandals and a clutch.
Lena Hoschek
Pattern opulence is one of the key characteristics of Lena Hoschek's elegant designs. Cut from a hyper-luxe cotton-blend with a satin finish and whimsical garden-scape this fit-and-flare dress looks best with nude pumps but a barely-there sandals in a metallic hue work just as well for more formal occasions.
Zimmermann
Reminiscent of a modern-day Victorian woman Zimmermann's dress in rendered in lustrous bronze satin. It has a draped bodice design and carefully placed cutout detail at the waist that falls to a floor-sweeping asymmetric hem. To achieve the brand's runway look wear it with exotic skin over-the-knee boots.
ALEXACHUNG
Whether you wear it with ankle boots or pretty pumps Alexa Chung's chiffon dress is such a versatile addition to any wardrobe. It's designed in a timeless polka-dot print and falls into a billowy skirt. The sheer panels and tie-fastening keyhole offer the perfect amount of skin for any occasion
