Stripe A Pose

Stripe A Pose

We made it through another week and what a Happy Friday it is! Today I’m striping a pose by mixing one of my favorite versatile patterns for summer.   Stripes are a wardrobe essential because they can be mixed and matched with just about any other pattern.  Navy and white stripes are classic, elevate a look, and give a cool nautical feel. For a twist on this outfit, I decided to match my blouse with these fabulous spring sandals from JustFab.  When I first saw them, I fell in love and had to have them.  Not only did I add a lemonade yellow handbag for a pop of color, but also a long jean duster for layering. Although you may not be ready to mix and match stripes, you can introduce stripes into other aspects of your outfits such as a striped espadrille, scarf or purse.  I promise, it will quickly become the go-to staple of your wardrobe. Have a fantastic weekend! Photography by:  Em Grey Photography Shop this look below. JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

A Little Fringe Goes A Long Way

A Little Fringe Goes A Long Way

Don’t mind me.  I’m just strolling into this feature wearing flowers and fringe.  Is anyone ready for the Memorial Day holiday besides me?  It’s been raining in my area for the past several weekends, and I’m really looking forward to some nice dry sunny weather. What ever you’re planning, this is the perfect style inspiration, whether it be a lunch date with girlfriends, or dinner date with your Boo.  A true Fashionista knows that no outfit is complete without the perfect pair of shoes.  Fringe sandal heels as your main accessory are a great way to show your effortless style.  They just add a little something “extra” to any outfit.  Take a look at my favorite pair of amazing fringe heels by JustFab.  I paired them with a cute white top and floral printed pants.  It was the perfect choice, especially for summer! Have a safe and wonderful holiday Loves!

Recapping the Royalty, Rock Stars and Artists Party at Saks Fifth Avenue Raleigh

Recapping the Royalty, Rock Stars and Artists Party at Saks Fifth Avenue Raleigh

Happy Monday Guys! There’s only one word to describe my last Saturday afternoon, and that’s EPIC!  Bear with me because there are lots of pictures in this post… I was invited to attend the Royalty, Rock Stars and Artists Party at Saks Fifth Avenue in Raleigh, NC.  This fashion show featured all the new contemporary fashion trends for the spring from top designers such as Alice+Olivia, Rebecca Taylor, and BCBG.  I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun I had.  There was a DJ playing the latest upbeat music, which made you want to hit the dance floor.  Then there were cocktails – Oooh the cocktails! There were three different flavors of champagne to choose from depending on your mood, and delicious mouth-watering french macarons also in three flavors.  I wanted to park a permanent seat at the cocktail area, but didn’t want to miss the show.   As promised here are a few behind the scene photos of the clothing for the show. I highly recommend paying Saks a visit to see the new spring fashion trends up close.  You’ll be sure to find something you absolutely love there! Love, The Ultimate Fashionista...
Fringe Benefits!

Fringe Benefits!

If you haven’t noticed by now, one of the hottest come back trends is fringe.  We started seeing it this past fall, and will continue to see it throughout the spring.  I love it!  Not only is it fun and flirty, it’s also sexy 🙂 There are so many different ways to incorporate fringe into your wardrobe.  There’s shoes, handbags, jewelry and clothes, but if you’re like me, you don’t follow all the trends and only partake every now and then.  This was just too cute not to join the fun, so here’s one idea on how you can wear a fringe top. There are several YouTube How-To videos on making these tops from old t-shirts, and it’s fairly easy.   As you can see,  I simply played around with the fringes and tied a knot to create a sassy and fun look, and Voilà!   I hope you have a blast wearing your fringe!  The outfit details are below.
