Mikki Taylor Commander in Chic on Kindle for Ipad

It's a great day in the world of fashion! Style Connoisseur Mikki Taylor's new book, Commander in Chic: Every Woman's Guide to Managing her Style Like a First Lady, debuts today! Her book release party was held at Tracy Reese, and looked even more fab than we could have imagined. Soledad O'Brien was there along with fellow bloggers and editors. I was stuck in Maryland, in class. Grr. Take a look at the party pics here and here.

Commander in Chic: Every Woman's Guide to Managing her Style Like a First Lady is about to be my new fashion guide. I am a firm follower of Mikki Taylor. Whatever she says is golden to me. I'm crazy excited about this book because my wardrobe is full of clothes that don't and pieces that I've had that no longer fit my style. I'm into dresses and skirts along with loads and loads of prints. I don't own many of any of these. Can't wait to hit the purchase button and add it to my collection of fashion books! I'll be purchasing on Kindle for Ipad, pictured above.

Erin's Outfit of The Day: African Print Tube Dress by Erin Baynham

Dress: Cynthia Rowley via Gilt, Blazer: BCBG, Wedges: Steve Madden

I never really do fashion posts, because I don't own enough clothes! I wore this to a work event, the Oyin Handmade "Your Hair is Awesome" bash. This was the ensemble I had chosen to wear for the IFB Conference earlier this week, but rain didn't go well with this outfit. Justin, aka Metropolitan Boy, aka my stylist, told me to wear this today. I love it!
