Steve Madden Poncho Coat
It is so hard to find coats that are stylish and fits my pear/apple shaped physique.
I took a trip to TJ Maxx and laid eyes on this beauty. It’s a poncho coat with buttons and a hood. Super warm. Has an adjustable cinched waist and it’s oh-so-stylish. It cost $89.
On this day, I was soooo tired. I didn’t feel like getting dressed or putting on any makeup. But Eden of Reel Clever Films had a booth at Eastern Market and I had to support. So, I dragged myself out of the house. Did a little beat. And went. Sometimes you just have to take that first step.
I am so thankful to have photographers in my life, especially since my camera gave out on me. Ugh! That’s another story.
But at the end of the day, these pictures came out super fab. Thanks boo.

Detroit Does NYFW Series
Sep 15, 2015
Eastern Market
Detroit, MI
Eden: My name is Eden and I’m a life + style blogger, actress, filmmaker and new mompreneur. I blog under Chic in the Tropics, which I’ve had since 2009.; and I have a small but full-service video production company called Reel Clever Films. I’m pretty old in the blogosphere! When I’m not busy shooting something for fun or my business, some of the things I love doing is to check out a movie, studying new techniques about my craft, and of course, shopping!
Q: What was the inspiration/story behind your look?
Eden: I’ve never been a gal who owns a lot of long, flowy dresses, and yet, I zeroed in on this gorgeous electric pleat goddess dress. I wanted to make it very “me” and street-ready by adding the usual suspects from my closet – a black fedora, my go-to leather jacket, and laceup flats. That’s me trying to go out of my usual comfort zone.
Q: How would you define your style?
Eden: Contemporary, parts edgy, parts minimal, parts androgynous. A lot of black and white separates. I like to keep things basic with a bit of a kick.
Q: Who are your style icons?
Eden: Kate Lanphear, Alexander Wang, Erin Wasson
Q: Where do you like to shop?
Eden: As a new mom with a budget, I’m definitely a huge fan of bargains! There is no awesome bargain I will refuse, haha. I love shopping at Saks Off 5th, Barney’s Warehouse, and my absolute favorite: Nordstrom Rack! Ebay has always been pretty good to me lately when it comes to awesome fashion deals.
Q: Have you ever been to NYFW, if so when and what was your fave part?
Eden: I have never been, but it’s definitely in my personal bucket list! Even if I don’t get personally invited to a show (I’m still dreaming for the day, haha) , just to be able to see the NYFW experience for myself and see New York so alive and filled with fashionistas is awesome in itself.
Q: Who is your fave designer?
Eden: It’s very hard for me to pinpoint one particular designer, but my top five includes Alexander Wang, Rick Owens, Rad Hourani, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, and my best friend, Philippine fashion designer, Yves Camingue.
Q: Whose show are you most looking forward to this year?
Eden: Aside from some of the designers mentioned above, Viktor and Rolf! You can always trust them to do something unexpected and jawdropping.
Q: What do you like about NYFW more, the runway shows or the street style and why?
Eden: I would say a little bit of both. You can always trust the shows to usher in the key trends for next year; and as a personal style blogger, the street style aspect is so perfect to take sartorial cues from.
Q: Links to any social media pages?
Eden: Aside from my blog, you can also connect with me through Instagram here and my facebook group page here.
OOTD: SunniesMania Cat-Eye Shades
Posted August 2, 2015
on:It’s been a while since I was in the area of Downtown Detroit near the previous Tiger Stadium. It has been refurnished for the better, yet still has that ‘old’ Detroit feel to it.
The power of social media and how it can connect people from all over the world. Eden followed me a few months back; I had no idea who she was. I went to a fashion show, and she was there! She came up to me like, ‘Hi. I’m Eden from Instagram!” I’m like, “Heeeeeeey, girl.” The rest is a short history.
Follow her company on Instagram @ReelCleverFilms and http://www.reelcleverfilms.com/
I met so many fashion boos this year. Check out Jordan’s blog, too. http://www.lilmissjbstyle.com/
Yall know my sistah’ friend already. Go follow her @TheeeBeautyQueen on Instagram 🙂
I love my new camera. It has taken everything I do to the next level. And I am learning how to edit.
I was going for an eccentric laid back look. I really love how you can play with fashion and switch your style up. I added a fuzzy turban and a pair of cat-eye shades from SunniesMania. My new fave shade store.
Thanks Eden for capturing these beautiful moments. I love, love, love them and I hope you do, too!
