I Tip My Hat To You
Over the past few weeks in my area we’ve been experiencing unseasonably warm temperatures up until this week. Now that the weather is finally turning cold, it’s time to break out those badazz hats. You know, the one’s that don’t keep your ears warm, but you look damn good in? Thank goodness there are so many options to choose from this season. I have loved seeing the variety of brims. There are just too many styles to name, but Wikipedia has the coolest list of hat styles I’ve seen thus far. For today’s look, I could have easily worn a wide brim style hat, but I chose to be different and wore a camel colored fedora style homburg hat with black grosgrain trim. If you aren’t familiar with a homburg, it’s sometimes called a “Godfather” after Al Pacino’s wearing of one in the mafia movie “The Godfather”. It’s one of the oldest formal style hats, and as you probably suspect, they are traditionally worn by a male. I’m neither a gangster nor a male, but I break all the fashion rules, so I don’t care. Another unconventional twist to this look was pairing it with a dress. In my opinion the homburg hat gives this dress the right amount of sassy. What’s your opinion of my look today?

What Goes Around Comes Around
It’s a new year! As one would think, out with the old and in with the new. But wait, not necessarily! The nature of fashion can be somewhat short-lived; however, this new year I’m focusing on giving my high-end goods of yesteryear a second life. During a recent trip home my beautiful mother gifted me with her and my grandmother’s vintage hats that I love wearing. I decided to wear this eye-catching crown jewel for new years since it’s one of my favorites out of the entire bunch. I love the deep elegance and how it commands attention. It became more remarkable for me to wear it for a special occasion. I paired this 1940’s beauty with a LBD (little black dress), and my favorite vintage handbag and fur scarf. 2015 has been such an amazing year! I would like to take this time to personally thank everyone for all of the love and support you’ve shown me and my blog. It’s been wonderful! May God bless you in 2016! Happy New Year to you and your families!

Elevate Your Look with a Fur Vest
Depending on where you live you’re most likely experiencing transitional weather temperatures. I live in North Carolina, and the temperature has consistently fluctuated from the 50’s down to the 30’s, sometimes all within the same week. To combat these extreme changes in climate, one suggestion for your wardrobe is to wear fur vests. They are luxuriously warm, light, and can be the perfect outerwear option for transitional temperatures. A fur vest can be rocked with just about anything ranging from a skirt, dress or leggings, but on this particular day I decided to wear one casually over distressed skinnys. Let’s face it, all of us are looking to take our outfits to the next level. Wearing a fur vest on top of a very simple outfit will do just that. A Few Quick Tips for wearing Fur Vests A fur vest will add volume so pair it with a tighter bottom, like a fitted skirt or skinnys. When buying a fur vest, size matters. Avoid those with too much volume or too long if you are short and don’t wear heels, as they can make you look shorter because of the volume and length. If you have a few extra pounds, avoid those with too much volume and collars as they can make you look out of proportion.

I remember at a very young age being mesmerized in my mother’s closet, and trying on her clothes which quickly became a hobby. 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.
