BSM on the Move - Quick Trip to Detroit

photo from http://www.gmrencen.com/home.axis


This week I spent 48 hours in Detroit for business and although it was snowing and colder than ever, I still truly made the most of it and  thoroughly enjoyed myself.  This was actually my second time  ever to Detroit and I definitely gained an appreciation for it this time around, especially being that I stayed at the beautiful Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, and I was able to spend time with some natives and gain knowledge some amazing fun facts about the city, in addition to visiting a few great places.

Fortunately, I will head back in June for work again and I will be able to truly enjoy the city in much better climate temperature, as well as for a much longer stay! Definitely, looking forward to that!

In the meantime, here's a quick run down of my extra short but fun visit.  First of all,  I felt like a little kid in an amusement park when I got to the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center.  What a beautiful hotel it is and let me me not forget to mention the excellent customer service from the hotel staff all the way around!  The best part about this hotel is that it is housed in the riverfront headquarters of General Motors, so a perk was that on my way to the elevators I was able to look down into the GM showroom and look at all their latest vehicles models.  The hotel rooms boast beautiful views of the river, the city and across the way to Canada! Absolutely breathtaking even in the snow!  

In addition to my stay at the Marriott, I was able to visit the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino to play a few slot machines.  The casino was very nice, and pretty large, so I was able to play whatever I wanted without having to wait, which I thought was great!  I even had a little luck!   I also had an appetizer at the Detroit Seafood Market and dinner at Downtown Louie's.  Food was great! I am definitely looking forward to my next trip back to Detroit so that I can get a more detailed and intense feel for the wonderful city! Here are some photos of the places that I visited this go round.

Bossy in Black - Turtle Neck, Faux Leather Skirt, Ankle Booties

Image
Something about wearing all black says bossy to me.  The look and feel of this color makes such a powerful statement and you can usually never go wrong no matter what size you are, as it is the most flattering and forgiving color one can wear.  I love bright and beautiful colors but black is definitely a BSM favorite and absolute go to! For today's OOTD post, I chose a simple turtle neck, tiered leather skirt, ankle booties and topped it off with some classy long pearls.  My favorite items of this look are the the skirt and the booties.  I have always appreciated the look of a great leather pencil skirt.  If you find the perfect fit and length, it just hugs and accentuates your curves in all the right places, proving a very sophisticated and classy appeal.  The ankle booties are a great alternative to a pump. I especially love the pair I wore because of the textured coating on the back.  It gives them a very sleek, chic and sassy presence. Here's a peek at what I pulled tog

Shades of Pink - Pink & Black Dress and Pink Top & Black Leather Skirt

Pink is a universal color that looks good on almost everyone, including the gentlemen.  Some shades definitely pop more so than others.  I truly love the dramatic look of fuchsia pink, it is vibrant and makes a very bold statement, where as the softer pink is very classic and timeless. In today's post I am giving you two different looks with two different shades of pink. The first look has a sassy and bold appeal.  I paired my long sleeve shift dress with some leggings and black knee high boots with gold accents.  This fuchsia shade definitely pops and makes a statement that definitely needs no introduction.  Where as the second look, has a touch of classy sophistication appeal to it.  The soft pink top finished off with a faux leather pencil skirt, pearls and ankle strap heels gives you subtle sexy look.  Here's a peek at the outfits I pulled together.

Every day is a Special Occasion - Embroidered Skirt, Tank and Blazer

Image
I have things in my closet that I sometimes never get to waiting on a special occasion; so rather than do that I figure, "if you have it, wear it", as everyday is a special occasion to look and feel good.  For today's OOTD,  I was feeling a little sassy and decided to wear this fun embroidered fitted skirt. I have said it before, I love pieces that accent your curves in all the right places; and the skirt does just that.  I completed the look with an long asymmetrical sleeveless top and a blazer.  Simple, yet edgy and definitely and outfit that can take you from day to night if need be.  Now, call me crazy, but I truly got dressed to sit in my office all day and run a couple errands, but regardless I was ready for anything that came my way.  Here's a peek at what I wore.
