SHADES 4 LUPUS- "Shades & Chapaeux"

Khojo was fortunate to come out and dontate to Lupus Research Institute of Chicago.    Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disorder. It may affect the skin, joints, kidneys, and other organs.



Symptoms vary from person to person, and may come and go. The condition may affect one organ or body system at first. Others may become involved later. Almost all people with SLE have joint pain and most develop arthritis. Frequently affected joints are the fingers, hands, wrists, and knees.
 
Although it's a sad disease, people were able to come out with a smile and donate to a great cause! 

The Models looked faboulous!!!!

Guests were asked  to wear their shades AND chapeaux to show support and "Gloria The Hat" above was definitely the winner!

 Christina Hendricks  always seems to represent for the curvy ladies!!! She is not afraid to be sexy one bit!!!  The color of the dress just fell a little to flat, but we still love her!!!

Others that fell under the Khojo radar were Rita Hanks in Prada, there was just too much going on from head to toe!!!

Khojo's Fall 2010 Tips

Just because Summer is gone, doesn't mean we shouldn't wear colors!!!  Here are Khojo 2010 Fall tips you should embrace

1.  Layering Mixed Print Cocktail Dresses

This can be done by a chic Jeans Jacket or fitted leather jacket! Layering your summer dresses can easily transition you into Fall!!! Check out the St. Maarten dress from www.khojodresses.com for only            $ 25.00!!! (Far Left)

Look at how celebs such as Nicole Richie transform their maxie dress summer look by simply layering a denim jacket!  If you have one from high school that still fits, wear it!  You can cut the sleeves if you want an edgier look! 




2. Old Hollywood Glam at it's finest

So what does Lena Horne,Grace Kelly, and Elizabeth Taylor have in common...Hollywood Glam at it's finest!!! 

Have you seen the latest hit tv series Mad Men?  If not for the great cast and storyline, the femine chic look of the 30's, 40's and 60's is definitely why you should stay tuned!!!

The green cape dress on the far left with some tights and boots would definitely help get the Mad Men fall look :) www.khojovintage.com for 39.99!!

This Carmen Marc Volvo dress has lovely geometric patterns...great for ladies with curves!   You can get this dress at http://www.khojodresses.com/

3. Your Nails are an Accessory!!!

For some of us who don't like wearing jewelry as an accessory, well try some daring nail artwork!!!

Loving Solange's nails and afro in the latest edition of HoneyMag!!! Notice how she's rocking a simple  earring stud with no necklace!!!  Her Afro and her nails compliments her style!!!

Here are some of Khojo's Top Picks!!!

The colors: Russian Navy, Lincoln Park After Dark, You Don’t Know Jacques!, Alpine Snow, La Paz-itively Hot, and Gargantuan Green Grape.My Absolute favorite colors comes from the one and only Chanel!!! lol!  They never seem to disappoint me! :) 

(Above) This is the Paradoxal Nail Color #509 ($23) (Le Vernis/ Nail Colour) and it's perfect!  It practically goes with everything!!!

Believe it or not almost everyone pays attention to nails, especially men!  So time to put up the milky pastel colors and say hello to the Greys and Purples !!! 

4.  Eccentric Coats for the Fall

 I don't care if your running to the grocery store, picking up the kids, heading to the gym,or have finals to study for please make sure your outerwear is on point!!!

We all can't afford tailored fit jackets, but we can at least try to pick the right size!!!  With that being said, take a look at some of Khojo's favorite picks!

Some places to try to get reasonable Cape Coats as seen below are Asos.com, Nordstrom, Zara, Bloomingdales

(L)Asos.com (R) Nordstroms

For those who are curvier, most of these coats comes with an attached belt to use...this will help in defining and complimenting your figure!

5.  Real Women Wear Heels!!! :)

Embrace your heels!  Now we don't have to get over board and where 4'' heels everyday, but this fall, it's time to bring out the Clogs, Boots, and Oxford shoes!!!

Wedge boots on the left can be see at Gap running for under 100.00 bucks!!! 

You can get both comfortability and height at once!

I don't know about you guys, but I can't tell the difference!  (thank me later) :)

Next up are the thigh high boots, which will look so sexy with your Cape Coat!!!

go to Pronto.com...they will practically pull up every thigh high boot in the nation!  You get to sit at home and navigate which thigh high boot works for you! 


Ultimately my favorite boot and pick for the summer is the "grudgy, I've been through  rain, snow, sleet, hail boots"  You know the ones I am refferring too!
