Cape Series – Evening of Elegance

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!

Cape Series – Be Your Own Superhero

Cape Series – Be Your Own Superhero

Happy Sunday everyone, I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend.  My apologies on finally posting the second outfit from my cape series.  I had all intentions of posting earlier, but have been recovering from my recent trip to Dubai.  For this look I chose a super long plaid vintage cape, which reminds me of being a superhero.  Let’s face it guys, no one is going to save us in life.  There’s a Superhero inside all of us.  We just need the courage to put on the cape, rise up and be our own Superheroes. I’m a fan of all types of capes, but longer capes are harder to come by so if you have the opportunity to snag one I would recommend doing so.  I’ve posted a link to a similar style below.  The shoes add even more drama to this look. What do you think?   Would you wear something similar?

Cape Series – Mix It Up

Cape Series – Mix It Up

Greetings everyone! You asked for another cape series, so another series it is.  After all, I love you all so much so I aim to please!  🙂 Today I’m kicking off the first look with one of my favorite things to do which is mix patterns in an unorthodox way.  Who would ever think houndstooth and plaid could pair together so well?  This look is proof you can absolutely wear the two patterns together. Hopefully you’ll leave inspired to try this look or some variation of this mix.  Do you enjoy mixing patterns together too?

Primping in Plaid

Primping in Plaid

Hello Loves, I’m primping in plaid because it just happens to be one of my favorite patterns to wear in the fall. This years plaid trends are bigger checks mixed with brighter colors.  I love layering my looks for added texture.  This Cynthia Rowley jacket found at Marshalls, will definitely be on repeat this season.  Although it’s not available, I’ve put together some similar looks for you to shop below, because I can’t be primping all by myself.  🙂 Are you a fan of plaid?  If not, what are some of your favorite patterns for fall?

Give Me My Flowers

Give Me My Flowers

“Give me my flowers while I can still smell them” is what first came to mind when I saw this beautiful floral mural.  I don’t know how long this quote has been around, it still holds true today.  We should always strive to show people how much they mean to us while we can. On another note, it’s my birthday month and I’m strutting into the next year just as happy as I can be! Getting older is such a privilege, and I never take that for granted.  This floral mural was perfect the perfect backdrop for this vintage style monochrome outfit.  I’ve always been a huge fan of black and white because it’s so eye-catching, classy and timeless.  Since some of these pieces are vintage, I’ve found some similar pieces to recreate this look.  I hope you enjoy this post darlings!  If you do, please leave me a comment letting me know how so. Until next time, Muah!
