Style Icon: Sanaa Lathan

I have loved Sanna Lathan since seeing her in the hit movie – Love and Basketball. That movie was and still is one of my favourite movies to date. I haven’t seen much of Sanna Lathan since then but I did come across a movie she did in 2006 on Netflix some days ago. The movie Something New was really good. I loved the storyline and her character Kenya McQueen was fun to watch. The movie reminded me of this lovely lady and how stylish she is. Sanaa Lathan has a fit physique and she looks good in pretty much everything. I love seeing her all glammed up. She cleans up nice.

Style Icon: Sanaa Lathan

This style icon looks amazing for her age. I was shocked to see she will be clocking 49 years next month. She can easily pass for a woman in her thirties. I love her fashion sense a lot. Her personal style is quite relatable. I can easily see myself wearing most of the outfits I see her rocking. Her style is always on point!

The pink piece she has on in the picture is a beauty. It is a lovely stylish summer piece. I can see myself wearing it and I love the heels she has on a lot. The dress, hair, and legs are doing all the talking, and it works great. She is always effortlessly chic.

In an interview with Yahoo Style, Lathan talks about her fashion and style, and what makes her style world go round.

“In my day-to-day life, I’m not a girl who’s going to walk around and do errands all glam. I love comfort, so my style is whatever’s comfortable. In the spring and summer, I’ll wear a dress with flip flops; it’s easy. I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a ‘fashionista.’”

Comfort and style go together in my fashion world, so could explain why I am drawn to Sanaa Lathan’s style. What do you think of her style? Are you a fan?

 

 

Style Tips for the Smart Casual Look

Smart casual is another look I love styling. It is quite easy to get this look right. If you read my last fashion post about rocking the casual daywear look, then you will know all about my love for the trend. The smart casual look is also close to heart. It is another look I found myself styling pretty much everyday some years ago when I worked for an energy company in Manchester.

For those who are not sure what this trend is all about, here is a definition for you. The Oxford Dictionary defines the smart causal look as “neat, conventional, yet relatively informal in style, especially as worn to conform to a particular dress code” Here are some style tips that may come handy if you intend to style the smart casual look –

 

Get a blazer

Rocking a blazer is one of the easiest way to add smartness to a causal look. A blazer has the power to add a touch of class to your regular casual look. And it does so effortlessly.

Knee-length pieces

My love for smart causal became stronger when I became a Mummy in 2013. It is easier to attend an event with twins looking dressed in a smart causal outfit than going all out with heels and minis. The smart casual look is easy to nail with knee-length dresses and skirts rather than minis.

 

Linen works in the warmer months

In the summer, linen works great for styling this look. Opt for chic linen trousers instead of jeans or leggings.

Add a clutch

A stylish clutch adds some more glam to your look. Go for an all-purpose clutch with some subtle beading to get this look right. I am usually not a clutch girl but I have invested in a couple this year, and I am glad I did. They are super handy to have around.

 

Are you a fan of the smart causal look? What do you like about it?
