Welcome to my blog!
I'm so glad you found me!
The Ultimate Fashionista blog was started in 2012 as creative outlet to share my personal style, outfit ideas, fashion tips, and a small piece of me with the world. My main goal is to reach as many people as I can to help them create and refine their own personal style.
Style is my business and I love exploring all the venues in getting my message across. I hope that my blog becomes a resource for many. I look forward to the challenge of sharing my personal style perspectives with an interactive audience.
I hope it will inspire you and thank you in advance for all your love and support!

Hey Loves, Lately I’ve been loving how easy it is to get dressed with jumpsuits because of how much time they save. Aside from saving time, they’re comfortable and stylish. Jumpsuits have been around forever, and is a trend that we will continue to see throughout spring and summer this year. What I love about them the most is there’s a style for every body type. I’d love to personally work with and show you what’s best for you. If you’re interested in personal styling services, please don’t hesitate to contact me. We don’t have to reside in the same area. Today I’m featuring this Denim Fringed Hem Jumpsuit by ShoeDazzle, which I’ve paired with a lace duster and snake print stilettos. For a more casual look, this jumpsuit would also look great with a sneaker. Are you a fan of jumpsuits? I know I’ll be wearing various types of jumpsuits during the upcoming season. Wishing you a fabulous rest of the week!

Carousel
Greetings everyone! Life is like a Carousel going round and round! Let’s not forget to have fun, and not get so busy making a living that we forget to make a life! We’re in that in between season where it’s warming up during the day and cooler at night. Today my choice of outfit is a vintage leather vest over distressed denim shorts and a casual blouse. Using longer sleeves and light layering during this time of the year can be useful because you can remove the layers as needed instead of wearing a big coat. I could also have easily paired this look with flatss instead of heels, but if you know me by now you know I can’t live without my heels. 😉 Be merry, and always remember to Live, Laugh, and Love!

Be My Valentine
Hello my Loves! I want to wish each and every one of you a Happy Valentine’s Day (whether you’re in love or not). I prefer staying in on Valentine’s Day, but if I were going out to some where fancy I’d choose to wear this vintage dress from Boot & Trunk because it’s perfect for a romantic date. Truth is, I’ll be at home watching Netflix and chilling, but I really needed an excuse to wear this gorgeous dress. lol. Whatever you choose to do today, I hope your day is filled with so much love that your cup runneth over. Always remember to love you first, and if no one has told you they love you, I’ll be the first to do so. I love you!

Muff Mania
Happy Friday everyone! It’s been several weeks since my last blog post and I’m finally back after a short hiatus. Sometimes it’s just good to pause from social media and reenergize. Today I’m providing vintage style inspiration for my favorite winter accessory, to deal with the chilly weather we’ve been experiencing lately. This handy cold weather accessory, called a “muff” is classic, fun, and functional. The muff has been around for quite some time, and serves as both a hand warmer and purse all in one. I love how easy it is to slip my hands into one for a quick warm up. Additionally, most vintage muffs have a zipper inside making them convenient for holding small important items us ladies just can’t live without. Muffs are available in all types of patterns and textures, which further add to their character. As you can see, I’m wearing my favorite leopard pattern, but I also adore a gorgeous fur style as well. Do you currently own a muff? If not, would you consider wearing one? Hopefully I’ve opened up the idea of adding this classic accessory to your wardrobe. Have a great weekend and stay stylish babes!

Celebrating the 110th Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Founders’ Day with Amazing Grace Etiquette
Greetings Loves, Last Saturday, I had the absolute honor of modeling in an elegant Hat Fashion Show to celebrate the 110th Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Founders’ Day. January 15 is officially the day that their Founders put a vision into reality and organized Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. The fashion show was hosted by Corbett Modeling Group, which is part of Amazing Grace Etiquette based in Raleigh, NC at Brier Creek Country Club. Amazing Grace Etiquette is spearheaded by Dr. Donna Corbett, and its mission is to provide innovative etiquette education to adults and children throughout the Triangle area. These qualities are essential to social development of youths and adults; however, often appear to have been forgotten and ignored in this century. Dr. Corbett’s background includes twenty years of corporate experience, and over a decade of experience in etiquette education and modeling arenas. She has embraced her calling to be a powerful force in the Triangle community! Each model graced the runway wearing the finest hats dating from 1962 to 2017 from The Mary E. Corbett Hat Collection. Ms. Mary E. Corbett, Donna’s mother, is a woman who adores hats and has a collection of over 300! The Hat Fashion Show is elegance at it’s best! It’s perfect for ladies’ teas, fundraisers, birthday celebrations, or any type of event where you would like to add class and pizzazz. It was a treat to be in the presence of such a beautiful group of empowering ladies. As a woman, vintage connoisseur and hat collector, this day was simply a dream come true!

Cheers to New Beginnings
Happy Sunday Loves, This is the last post for 2017 and I’m making a GRAND entrance into the new year. This fox fur stole, velvet dress, and fairytale pumps is the perfect look for a New Years Gala. I hope you’ve enjoyed my “Glitz and Glam Holiday Series”, and the style inspiration I have provided has been a benefit in some way. I’d like to take this time to thank God for without him I’m nothing! Thank you also to each and everyone who has believed in me, supported me in any way, not given up on me, and allowing me to share my style with you. I don’t take that for granted. I look forward to providing more style inspiration in 2018. Happy New Year to you and your families, and Cheers to New Beginnings in 2018!

The Art of Fashion
Hey Loves, I painted the perfect picture in this denim skirt by SevenTwo Denim. SevenTwo Denim was launched in 2012 and is a premium denim brand featuring a line of skirts in luxuriously lit fits, fabrics, and finishes. I have never owned a denim skirt with such a wonderful stretch that hugged my curves in a nice way combining both quality and comfort. I was also impressed to know that every single piece can also be found in a maternity fit. I wish they were available when I was pregnant with my son many moons ago. 🙂 SevenTwo Denim has definitely accomplished their mission of bringing sexy sophistication to the jeans genre, via the skirt and I’m enjoying every minute of it!

MultiFURious
Let’s party! I found the perfect multicolored faux fur coat which is the perfect look over an outfit for a holiday party. This coat is so fun and will brighten up the most drab winter days! What I love the most is how it literally matches almost everything!! 🙂 It’s versatile and looks great paired with black, and would equally look amazing with a casual outfit. So come on, don’t be shy. It’s never a bad idea to add a little fun into your wardrobe.
