My Story

Fashion, shoes and accessories have always my interest. I remember at a very young age being mesmerized in my mother’s closet, and trying on her clothes which quickly became a hobby. While growing up, I regularly traveled to vintage and consignment shops with my mother and grandmother, and quickly became a lover of timeless fashion.  As I grew older I not only enjoyed enhancing my look, but that of others, so the natural fit was to become a Fashion Stylist.

 

My styling has no limits, as I have the right connections and can pull off any look. I love all aspects of fashion and particularly love to mix modern with vintage pieces for a bit of a surprise.  My style is affordable yet classy.  I love mixing high/low fashion and creating out-of-the-box outfits.  I truly believe it does not take a lot of money or designer labels to be well dressed.

 

My goal is to inspire you with what I wear, challenge you to get out of your comfort zone, and help achieve your best look.  This is the best part of my job because if you look great, you feel great!

My Recent Work

Fresh from the Blog

New Awlins Style

Hello again World!I know, I know, it’s been a minute since my last blog post, and I’m REALLY, REALLY sorry for my long absence. So much has happened since the beginning of the year… some great things, and unfortunately some not so great things, but God is good and all is finally getting back to normal in my life. 🙂 One of the wonderful things I managed to do recently is go on a short US trip which has been on my bucket list forever! If you don’t already know, fashion is my forte, but I’m also somewhat of a foodie. LOL!! What better place to go indulge than New Orleans? A few weeks ago one of my best girlfriends and I decided to head to The Big Easy for a Girls Trip, and boy did we have the time of our lives. Just a fair warning ahead that this is the first of two blog posts because I simply couldn’t sum up such a great trip into one. We arrived in town on a Thursday and the weather was perfect! The Royal St. Charles Hotel greeted us with a slushy drink and small bite of traditional king cake upon arrival which was a pleasant surprise. We got very lucky when we chose the hotel because of it’s ideal location and easy access to The French Quarter. Being only one block away allowed us to be able to enjoy all of the surroundings essentially by foot. After checking in we immediately began our hunt for some southern cajun, creole, seafood, and of course award winning local joints to satisfy...

YOU see YOU

Hello Dolls, I woke up thinking about my motto, which is “It doesn’t matter who see, pretend they don’t see, or who doesn’t acknowledge you.  YOU see YOU and that’s all that matters!” – theultimatefashionista I hope you all are having a great week so far.  My dear sister gifted me with this beautiful handmade Ankara dress from The Gambia, West Africa and I needed to style it.  I love the pattern and how it flairs out and is so comfortable.  The boots I found really did it justice!  They’re currently on sale for $20 USD  and if you join ShoeDazzle as a VIP, you can receive your first item for $10 USD.  What a steal!  Of course I wouldn’t leave you hanging… the deets are below.

Cape Series – Evening of Elegance

Hello Loves, With the holiday season upon us, it’s only befitting I style a more elegant cape than what I’ve previously featured on my blog.  If you’re looking for a highly stylish alternative to a coat without wearing a fur, than a cape is just it! This black velvet cape is perfect for an evening on the town because it’s bold, mysterious, and adds the perfect amount of drama to take your dresses from ordinary to extraordinary.  Who would think such a simple piece could elevate an entire look in such an elegant way? Another added benefit to wearing a cape over a coat is how easy they are to wear. Draping them on over shoulders is so convenient for transitioning from outside to indoors. The cape I’ve styled is a vintage beauty but I’ve found some similar capes below that will achieve the same look. Of course if you need assistance finding another alternative or with styling for your upcoming event, you can reach me via this website or at theultimatefashionista@yahoo.com to schedule an appointment. Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
