All White Affair

The one thing I love about the summer is the All White Parties, alot of women don't care for white because it can be unflattering. However, like everything there are certain tricks you can use to make wearing white more flattering. First try layering I know it's summer it maybe hot however if your going to an indoor party with a.c. layering an outfit will work. I love the white linen blazers which can be paired with a dress or jeggings. Rhianna recently did this at the Billboard awards and per-fect this look. It's simple yet sexy and it works .

Jumpsuits are in ladies I have a few on my site alyssacloset.com and they are perfect for an all white affair because, it's an entire outfit you don't have to worry about finding a top or pants. Keri Hilson wore hers recently to an event and looked stunning she used a gold chain belt to bring it out a little

This little number that Solange has on below is also nice it loose but still elegant it will also camouflage the stomach

Building a Brand!!

There are several women in the industry who inspire me tremendously I love to read success stories on how ordinary people like you and I got started and built an empire, Bethenny Frankel is one success story on how hard work and persistence pays off. I also look up the the Simmons girl's who create the Pastry Line and launched that into a multi-million dollar business. I've have learn that's it's important to think learn term when making business decisions, as I continue to grow in the retail business I often look for inspiration and sometimes reading an article like this inspires you.

Nikki Minaj ABDC outfit... Vintage Denim Trend....


I didn't get the chance to see Nikki Minaj on ABDC mainly because I don't really care for the show, however I love love love her outfit. First her vintage denim vest is to die for. I really like the vintage denim look and although some people may think denim is played out. I believe it's all in how you wear it and put it together. I also believe that designers and are forecasting this hot trend. Next the crazy leggings they have a whole lot going on and are funky. Now personally anytime I do leggings I normally wear a tunic, just because I don't wanna showcase too much but in Nikki's case her butt is an ASSest so flaunt. She does some simple but large bangles and finally she tops this outfit off with some yellowish-green peep toe cage platforms. Werk!!! FYI (Please just look over that hot mess to the right I tried hard to find a full shot of Nikki alone but couldn't)

Now I've ran across a few hot denim items as of lately this first dress will be available at Alyssa's Closet the first week of June it's a basic denim vintage dress. This dress would be a great summer asset to any fashionista's closet it screams chic to me. I would dress it up with some nice long flowly necklaces and a few bangles I would do a simple earring and some killer pumps.. e-mail me to pre-order sizes Small-Large @ alishia34@gmail.com or alyssascloset11@ymail.com
