Cinema Couture: Love Jones (1997)

In the past, I've blogged about my love of the film "Love Jones", as well as my love of Nia Long's style.... I thought that it was time to merge these two loves, and at the same time, add my third installment of the Cinema Couture series.

As Nina, Nia Long's style was definitely a city casual chic that's perfect for winter.

Dark colors, jeans, boots, wool pea coats, and killer black shades. I decided to put all of these items together and put together an outfit inspired by Nina. Here's what I came up with:

Coat: Black Textured Trench Peacoat ($82.95, Torrid)
Sweater: Black Ribbed Turtleneck Sweater ($24.50, Ashley Stewart)
Pants: Women's Plus Wide-Leg Dress Trousers ($46.94, Old Navy)
Booties: Impo Bowie Bootie ($49.95, DSW)
Earrings: Rose Rhinestone Studs ($2.80, Forever 21)
Sunglasses: Fossil Kathleen 2 Polarized ($70.00, Zappo's)

Cinema Couture: Friday Foster (1975)

A few weeks ago, I decided to have a blaxploitation film marathon. While watching the first movie on my laptop, Friday Foster (Courtesy of Netflix), I was so bowled over by Pam Grier's wardrobe, I was inspired to create a new series of fashion posts, dedicated to the notable looks straight from the celluloid to your closets.



One outfit in particular was especially casually chic, and I knew that this "perfect for the weekend" look would be the first that I'd recreate for this series.




**Actual screencaptures I made while watching the film! lol**

After my movie marathon was complete, I did some research and once I found a better picture, I was ready to recreate this ensemble!!




To start, I selected the Ellos Handkerchief Cardigan Tunic Sweater (Sahara Orange Ombre) ($24.99 - $29.99, One Stop Plus)



Underneath, I went the economical route and chose the Women's Plus Jersey-Stretch Tanks (Sashimi) ($12.95, Old Navy)



In searching for the best pair of jeans to accompany this look, I immediately knew that I wanted to select the Denim Yacht Trousers ($52.00, Torrid)



And last but not least, I am (as you may know) ALLLL about the handbags, so I opted for the Harness Satchel (Sienna) ($68.00, Urban Outfitters)



And there you have it! If you've never watched "Friday Foster" the movie has a bunch of amazing looks (And I do believe Miss Pam Grier was rocking a LV Speedy in one scene!).
