This look is perfect for a romantic dinner with "Le boo" even with family and friends, it's very classy and sexy at the same time, her hairstyle is perfect or you can go for an up do bun with the right makeup.  Notice how she went for minimal accessories.

Stephanie Cole


We love this laid back ,casual outfit from stephanie.a.cole, she donned on a cold shoulder Ankara blouse, paired it with a red sling bag ,white sneakers and matching choker piece.
This look right here is for the peeps who want to keep their outfit casual, they want to just go out and have fun ,play ,chill with friends,loved ones e.t.c  those going bowling, taking a walk in the park, seeing a movie and you do not care for some six inch heel causing pain to your feet and slowing you down. You can also rock a jumpsuit if play suits aren't your thing, but they sure are sexy and eye catching! And that's exactly what we are going for , this valentine!!!!
