What to Wear for the Holidays


I had the pleasure of writing a guest post for Cocktails and Conversation on what to wear for the holidays. Check out an excerpt below:

The holidays are here and women are contemplating on what to wear this year. However the question most women ponder over is what do I wear? For some this is an easy question, but for most women the decision on what to wear is a complete nightmare. It is important to have a general idea of what you would like to wear. First, check your invites so you are aware of the dress code. It would be a tragedy to show up to an event that is formal and you are dressed semi-formal. When deciding what to wear it is important that you know the difference with what you can wear to a work holiday party versus a night out with friends..... (read full article here)

If you are still undecided about what to wear for the holidays read the full article....New Years Eve is right around the corner.

This dress would look great paired with a an LBD, a bandage dress or mini skirt. The peeptoe and striped sole give the Versace boot an added flare.

I will be on a 10 day vacation as of this Friday. I probably will not be updating the blog during this time.

Before I leave you Lovies I wanted to share with you some fab fashionable holiday gifts to give or purchase for yourself. I hope all of you have an amazing yet safe holiday. Stay Stylish.......Smooches xoxoxoxo -Fatima Tan'ia

FATionista's at LARGE: Item of the Week



During my latest shopping spree also known as Cyber Monday I found the perfect red jeans by @Eloquii. Besides red being one of the most sought after colors forecast for Winter these pants fit like a glove (and have 1% spandex for a little forgiveness). The most important factors when buying jeans are the fit and the comfortableness. If you for whatever reason are not familiar as of yet with Eloquii check out their site (Eloquii.com) for other great finds.

Sample Sale: DVF



Sample Sale Sirens: Earlier today I gave all of you who are friends of the Perception & Co. Fanpage a little info on the Diane von Furstenberg biannual sample sale but I promised I would give out the rest of the details. The mega sample sale will be at 260 Fifth Avenue. Discounts will range up to 75% off, with the chance to score both new and vintage items. I will tell you from first hand experience that the DVF crowd is like no other....they are ferocious. However the fashion finds you will come across will be absolutely drool worthy. The sale will begin next Tuesday, December 13 at 9am until Saturday....Happy Shopping!!!

Photoshoot with Kermit Hayes Photography


I have been super busy lately lovies....however, I wanted to make sure I posted a few of my head shots taken by noted Fashion Photographer Kermit Hayes. It is always a pleasure to work with such a creative genius. Hope you guys like.....(P.S. These photos are untouched)

Trend Alert: Winter White


This season many designers decided to break the rules. One Fashion directive that has been instilled in every girl or women is you cannot wear white after Labor Day. This year there was no such thing on the runway. In order to make sure you are wearing your winter white as fab as possible here are a few wardrobe ideas to consider:

Go for a deeper, creamy, or bluish white
Use the proper fabric (flannel, wool or a thicker cotton vs. linen which is for summer months)
Nudes are the most obvious color to pair when wearing white but to spice up your outfit opt for color
Dare to wear white to a semi-formal or formal event
Do not be afraid of a white pants suit



FATionista's at LARGE: Marsha Ambrosius



While looking through a few of my magazines I noticed that Soul Singer Marsha Ambrosius has completely did a 360 in her wardrobe this year. After shedding a few pounds and becoming a solo artist Ms. Ambrosius' confidence looks as if it has kicked itself into high gear. From vintage finds, to red carpet glam Marsha has proven that she has the ability to be a well dressed curvy woman.

Sassy Stylish Shoe: Christian Louboutin



I will be adding these shoes to my Christmas Wish List. The Christian Louboutin Duvette 120 metallic and patent-leather pumps (priced at $675) are absolutely fab. I tell people all the time if you are not a splurger it is best when splurging to do so on a classic piece. These timeless, classic pumps can be worn throughout all seasons which is key when treating yourself. Pictured below are both Alicia Keys and Beyonce rocking these sassy stylish shoes. Do you love?
