<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Ahhh.. admist the hustle and bustle of summer.. Fall fashions are hitting the store! I love the summertime.. Truly, I do.. but I sooooo look forward to Fall! Dressing in Fall fashions really seperates the fashionista from the fashion fail.. It requires thought and unquestionable style to layer and pair your ensemble. Summertime is relatively easy but Fall, not so much. I always have a jump on what will be hot in the coming seasons because that's how the fashion industry works. I see conceptual collections and trend reports about a year before it actually hits stores.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;">One thing that will be big for Fall is the detail: golden hardware. Is this new? Not really.. Gucci has had it on the runway for the last few seasons but I think it is really going to explode with footwear designers for Fall 2012. The Zanotti boot that is pictured above is a great example of how this detail will shut the shoe game down for the upcoming season. The golden plate is covering a lot of square footage. Lol. More so, than usual.. It appears to be less than a simple aesthetic detail. It is prime real estate ON the shoe. Dare I say, the FOCAL POINT of the shoe. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;">Will you be wearing golden hardware on your feet this Fall?</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7865484093861967992.post-47993494558356754012012-04-05T07:19:00.016-07:002012-04-05T07:49:04.436-07:00DREAM.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">To take a page from the gospel of Biggie: <em>It was all a dream.. I used to read fashion magazines..</em> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Those who know me will laugh at the mere fact that I started this blog with a rap lyric yet at the same time they won't be surprised. The journey to this moment has been filled with numerous obstacles and many setbacks.. Yet, the story of Kemistre Boutique is less about struggle and more about hope. Our story is one of hope because we are a true testament to the power of God. I launched this business in the middle of a recession when people advised against it. They called me crazy! I financed this business with NO bank loan, NO investors, and NO grants. They said it couldn't be done! I have no business degree. I went to school for fashion and while the fashion industry is very abstract, the business world is much more concrete. They said I'd never be able to pull it off! Yet, here we are opening our very first store in SouthWest Center Mall.. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">When I ponder on the journey, I can honestly say that if I had it to do again, there are several things that I would do differently. However, I have no regrets. Life is one great teacher.. I've learned a lot about business but more so than anything, I've learned a great deal about myself. I've encountered fear on many occasions throughout this journey and surprisingly, it has never been enough to stop me. Contrary to popular opinion, I believe that the most accomplished people in the world are not fearless. They are simply people who have decided that there is something so much greater than fear and that is HOPE! I've never had all the answers.. I've never had all the connections.. but what I did have was a big God, a big dream and a dynamic team who trusted my vision. Shonedra came on board with an expertise in customer service & Savoyia came on board as a true marketing/branding guru. I am most thankful for them because their input has been invaluable.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Yesterday, while at Target, I came across a sign that said: Dream. Believe. Create. In my opinion, the verbiage couldn't be more appropriate. That's exactly how it happens.. I had a dream for Kemistre... I believed in Kemistre.. and then I made it my endeavor to create Kemistre.. As I write this blog, I would like to thank those who have supported Kemistre but more so than anything, I would like to speak directly to the dreamers. I would like to give to you that which has been given to me and it is this:</span></div><ol><li><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><span style="color: magenta;">Don't wait for the right time to pursue your dreams because it will never come.</span></strong> Just start from where you are and use whatever you have. </span></span></div></li>

I could give dreamers 200+ tips but I have a store to open today so please accept the mere 10 that I offer up. The last 2 weeks of my life have been filled with hardships and problems. A contractor didn't complete work in the store, our computer system crashed, our POS system lost all of the inventory that it took me 3 days to enter and the bracket for the TV mount didn't fit so the TV has yet to be mounted to the wall. My bank account was frauded so a substantial amount of money was frozen in my account until a claim could be processed so I didn't have access to money that I desperately needed. The sign company messed up the sign that should have gone over the entry to our store. As a result, its arrival is delayed and we will have no sign for our opening. The DVD with our media for the flat screen arrived damaged and will not play, the thermal receipt printer will not connect to the operating system, the phone company messed up our service order, merchandise that was due in-store has been lost in transit from the vendor and this isn't even half of the things that I've dealt with but again I say.. our story is less about struggle and more about hope!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Kemistre was built from HOPE.. Kemistre has been sustained by HOPE.. and Kemistre will always be the poster child for HOPE! When you enter Kemistre Boutique today, just know that God has blessed us immensely and HOPE has carried us along the way! Whatever your dreams may be.. always HOPE FOR THE BEST, LOVE YOURSELF, HAVE FAITH, BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS and BE LEGENDARY! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I've received many texts this morning congratulating me on the opening of my store and praising me for my tireless efforts and to that I say: <em>All of the Glory belongs to God, only the mistakes have been mine!</em></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Love, Peace & Shoes!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Kim Kardashian was spotted at Paris Fashion Week yesterday rocking Giuseppe Zanotti by Kanye West. When the picture of the shoe was released, I can honestly say that I was on the fence. I was intrigued by the design but at the same time, I loathed it. Perhaps, it would be fitting to say that I had a love/hate relationship with the shoe. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black;">Now, I can say with reasonable certainty that I LOATHEEEEEEEEEEE this shoe. Maybe I just needed to see it on a person's foot. Whatever the case may be, it's doing way too much. It looks like her foot has been swallowed by a white fungus yet her toes managed to escape. It's very over the top but then again.. Kanye is rather EXTRA himself.. so it all seems quite fitting.</span> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Perez Hilton </strong>has joined the queue of celebs wanting to try their hand at footwear design and has created two exclusive styles for Shoedazzle. The shoes: a pair of silver hi-top trainers and a wild studded party heel are both being sold for a non-profit, as <b>100% of proceeds </b>will benefit Gay equality charity <b>Stonewall</b>.</span></span></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oCFr3PicB7c/TwUuGGJB9EI/AAAAAAAAAzE/fnI5GMJw6C8/s1600/perez-hilton-shoedazzle-thumb-435x250-145599.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="183" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oCFr3PicB7c/TwUuGGJB9EI/AAAAAAAAAzE/fnI5GMJw6C8/s320/perez-hilton-shoedazzle-thumb-435x250-145599.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As you'd expect from the flamboyant Perez there is a lot of sparkle and shine going on in both designs. The unisex trainer (which he is wearing in the photo above) is made from high shine metallic, with silver-toned studs and decorative zip detailing around the edges for an extra dazzle. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'm not a big Perez Hilton fan and really feel that Shoedazzle could have found someone else to make a design debut. When I heard about this collaboration, I immedately gave the blank stare but now that I have seen the product, I must be honest.. I don't hate the two styles. </span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7865484093861967992.post-36256124163567970442011-12-26T03:48:00.000-08:002011-12-26T03:48:00.666-08:00CHIC AWARENESS: TRACY REESE GIVES BACK<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HiFAo2ZNYwE/TvgK5XoAYOI/AAAAAAAAAys/juv74WHrl58/s1600/TRACY-REESE-TOTE-BAG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HiFAo2ZNYwE/TvgK5XoAYOI/AAAAAAAAAys/juv74WHrl58/s320/TRACY-REESE-TOTE-BAG.jpg" width="228" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Designer, Tracy Reese teamed up with </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Fashion Fights Cancer </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">to offer shoppers a last minute opportunity to give the gift of hope for the holidays. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The cold weather is really just starting to emerge on the scene and yet.. here lies Spring 2012 ads. Wait.. can I just enjoy my boots, sweaters and scarves without being forced to focus on Spring looks and Summer trends.. *deep sigh* Mmmm.. I guess not.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Welp.. Versace has released it's Spring 2012 ad. If you follow us on FB and Twitter, you know that I've shared a few of the other campaigns but this is the first that I have chosen to feature on our blog. This campaign was photographed in the California desert by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. The ad is bright, striped and screams Versace. It features supermodel, Gisele, who is looker uber hot to be a mommy of two! Can I look like that after I give birth? #JustSayin</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;">In looking at the campaign, it is reasonable to conclude that Versace will be all about circle studs and gold hardware for Spring. This influence will be displayed on handbags, shoes and apparel. The shoes are still looking very structured in its design detail.. which is just a carryover from last season. What are your thoughts on the campaign? Are you excited about the Versace looks?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In today's edition of GET THE LOOK.. we are featuring mommy-to-be, Beyonce! She was spotted leaving a NYC nail salon in blue crocodile Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps and carrying a Burberry Tonal Raffia Bowling Bag. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Burberry has always had nice pieces in their collection but they are really killing the game right now! I, for one, have never been a Burberry stan.. but as of late, I've found myself stalking a few of their pieces. I can truly see an evolution of the brand. While I have a great appreciation for Burberry, whenever I have wondered into their stores, I've always felt like their collection was for the "older" customer. Older as in I'll pass on a purchase for me and cop something for my mom instead. Lol. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Nevertheless, this drool-worthy 'Raffia' bowling bag is priced at $1,395. That's actually not a bad price and doesn't deter my love one bit! This one is getting filed in must-have!</span></div><br />

Owwwww... this shoe is giving me everything all at once! <span style="color: black;">How do I love thee? Let me count the ways..</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;">This is from the Senso Fall 2011 collection and it is called 'DELIJIAH'. The platform is about 5" inches and the platform is 2" inches. It also comes in a pink leopard print. It feels very Betsey Johnson-esque to me.. I'm all about wearing statement shoes but I usually err on the side of caution. That is to say, I don't go crae-crae with it but I'm actually feeling the pink leopard. What are your thoughts?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Happy Friday my lovelies!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Today, I am sprinkling you with a shoe that is <span style="color: black;">dripping swagguuuu. This 5.5" inch wedge from Alexander McQueen is from his Fall 2011 collection. It features a silver metal wedge and is referred to as the 'Armour Wedge'. When it hit the market it was accompanied by a price that read $4,245. Ouch! However, it is now on sale for $2,549. Mmmmm.. and suddenly a $2k shoe seems like a bargain. Never thought I'd see the day.. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Well.. we've finally made it to Wednesday. Since it's humpday... I figured that we should start our decline with a sneak peek of the lovely bags and clutches from Burberry's Spring 2012 line. I am soooo in love with the clutches. They are giving me EVERYTHING!!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'm actually loving the tote's, as well.. but is it just me or does this collection seem rather fall-ish.. The only piece that looks semi-Spring is the 1st clutch. Nevertheless, they are great pieces.. they'll compliment any ensemble in your closet. They'll be landing in your local Sak's stores soon.</span></div><br />

You read the title correctly.. Jimmy Choo has released its own brand of coffee sleeves. Say huh? Say what?

<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'm definitely on one this morning.. On cloud 9, that is. Lol. My mom has been here for a few days and I am just feeling so good.. so great! We did our usual girls routine.. shopping-girl talk-shopping-dining-shopping.. <span style="color: black;">you know, the usual!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;">Nevertheless, I came across this super haute shoe from Camilla Skovgaard's Spring 2012 collection.. I love the bi-color basketweave.. I have a very strong sensation that KEMISTRE will have this similar concept happening for our Spring collection.. Hehe.. Also, I want to point out the tassel detail attached to the zip closure of the shoe.. this is going to be a big trend for 2012! Prepare to see tassels on shoes, handbags and clothing, as well.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Kurt Geiger’s sneak peek into their Spring/Summer collection is radiant with color! So many beautiful shoes in such a confined space.. it should be a crime! Geiger's collection is certainly more about statement-making designs, bright neon-colors, tall platforms, and gold plated heels. The collection is mixed with a refined edgy undertone<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">paisley-esque</span> </span>prints and stunning platforms.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">"Everything but the dress transforms for spring with a kaleidoscope of Dolly Mixture shades whilst accents of scarlet and neon giva pace to pretty pastels.

Today, I present you with an early Christmas gift.. We'll call it the INSTANT SLIMMER tote! You can thank me later! Lol. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This graphic-illusion tote from Mollaspace emphasizes how an exceptional design can take an accessory to the next level. Is this a cute idea or what? Am I the only person thinking that? I can't be. It's available in pink (as pictured), black (as pictured), kiwi green, blue and white. It's priced at $45.. *blank stare* </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Umm.. I like this tote but I don't know if you are getting the most bang for your buck... Don't get me wrong, I'm known to splurge. I've spent hundreds of thousands on shoes and bags but by all accounts, this is a CANVAS tote.. Not leather.. not pony hair... not ostrich.. not snakeskin.. It's canvas. *scratches head* AND on top of that, it's only 1 screen.. A basic screen.. not a foil screen.. not a glitter screen.. no embroidered sequins.. no studs.. no heat transfer stones.<span style="color: black;">. Nothing. Lol. However, I can't deny the cuteness that is this bag! If it goes on sale, I'd definitely cop it.. but at its current retail price, I'll admire it from afar.. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

Oh and while you're there, pick me one up in pink.. Heyyyyy, it ain't tricking if you got it! Haha..</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I can proudly say that I was one of the fortunate souls that was able to get a few pieces of the Versace for H&M pieces. However, for those of you who were left standing in the cold, empty handed.. Word has it that <strong>Donatella Versace </strong>enjoyed working with H&M so much the first time around that she’s designed a pre-spring collection that will go on sale early next year. And this time, there’ll be no pesky lines or shoving involved.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black;"><em>Women’s Wear Daily</em> reports that Versace’s second capsule collection for H&M will go on sale online Jan. 19 in countries where the Swedish retailer sells things online. So far that includes Sweden (obviously), the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway. What about the United States, you ask? H&M has promised the USA a fully functioning e-commerce site some time around the end of 2011 or the beginning of 2012. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I picked up these lovelies at Nordy's.. (Nordstroms as some of you may call it) and I always get so much attention when they are on my feet. Wooo hoooo... Mission Accomplished!

The heel is almost 5" inches and has a 1" inch platform. These boots serve up everything that should be served during the fall... bootie + stiletto + animal print = FLAWLESS FALL PERFECTION! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

It can't be.. There's no way! Hmmm... I'm afraid it is. This means several things.. #1: The year is coming to an end. *deep sigh* #2: You have to start thinking about what you want for Christmas because your boo has already begin to inquire. #3: You have to figure out what gifts you will be buying for <span style="color: black;">others..</span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

I think there is a big misconception that you have to break the bank to make Christmas special but that is soooo untrue! The greatest gifts that I have ever received are gifts that required some thought..

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Well... well.. well.. now what do we have here?</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black;">I do believe that Christian Louboutin has done it again and this time he called her 'Lola Montes'. Before I even go in on this shoe, I have to ask for a moment of silence. <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>***silence permeates the air***</strong></span></span> <span style="color: black;"> Ok, back to my commentary.. just wanted to pay a little respect to the royalty, Lola Montes, as she has made an appearance upon my blog! Lol. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black;">No matter what your personal taste is.. you simply CANNOT deny the hauteness that is.. I love the teardrop shaped suede & mesh mix that runs up the spine of the boot! It has an invisible zip closure along the back and has an accompanying price tag of $1,030. *scratches head* That's actually not a bad price considering this is a boot and Louboutin has pumps that cost significantly more! Can someone say: MUST HAVE!!! </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black;">They also come in a few other colors... </span></span></span></div><br />

These shoes ooze style.. they ooze glam.. They are such a STATEMENT PIECE and anyone who knows me, knows that my closet is full of shoes that make a statement! Oooooookay! Besides, why should Dorothy be the only who rocks a pair of shoes that sparkle, thus making a statement? Where is it written that only people headed to see the Wizard can click their heels..

However you wear it.. be sure to ACCESSORIZE! Headbands have many different looks and they are taking over! They come in suede string, chains, jute rope, leather braided, diamonds, feathers and jeweled. With so many options, there has to be a style to your liking! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;">Headbands are every where. No matter what your budget is, they are available to you. I came across this super cute chain braided, snake print headband in Nordstroms a few days ago. <strong><span style="color: magenta;">[See below]</span></strong> Ok wait for it.. waittttt for it... It's only <strong>$38</strong>! Can you believe it? This is a total bargain price in my book. Dare I say.. the look for less.

If you are looking for something a little cheaper, I would recommend stopping by your local beauty supply. I'm always amazed at all of the things sold in the beauty supply!

I tend to wait eagerly wondering what the business is going to be season to season.. Every now and then a designer decides to <span style="color: black;">produce a shoe that will give any shoenista a HAUTE ATTACK at first glance. </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Welp.. United Nude has done just that with their Iris van Herpen United Nude Crystalization LIMITED EDITION booties. Owwwwww!! These things are the bomb.com! Someone call 9-1-1 because I am having problems breathing! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black;">The Iris van Herpen X United Nude product is a glamorous ankle bootie with smooth round lines and golden leather detailing on the front and back of the shoe, with three-dimensional characteristics.
