Spectacular night at The Southern Blog Society Meet Up
Last night I had a blast with the fabulous girls of The Southern Blog Society for a Meet Up at Kendra Scott in Durham, NC. The event was organized by Nikki Richardson of Bedazzles After Dark blog and Emily of Life With Emily Blog. It was so exciting to see everyone, and finally meet some of the gorgeous bloggers I follow and talk to, but never had a chance to meet face to face. While chatting we enjoyed delicious treats and cocktails, and also previewed Kendra Scott’s new Via Maya 2015 Summer line. I have my eye on several statement necklaces that I plan on adding to my wardrobe. There was a mini photo booth, and the amazing Em Grey from Em Grey Photography snapping photos. I felt so much love from these talented group of girls who constantly are the source of my inspiration. This was such a fun night!!! I can’t wait until the next one! Love, The Ultimate...
Purple Reign
Purple has always been one of my favorite colors! It makes an elegant and strong fashion statement, and coincidentally also happens to be the name of one of my favorite songs and movies by my favorite artist. 🙂 Could it be because it screams royalty, and there are so many ways to dress it up? For spring you will see various shades of purple hit the runway and beauty scene. Here’s a look at a fun outfit I pulled together using this majestic color! I love mixing purple with other rich color jewel tones because it creates a very lush look. It also looks good with metallic and whites. I chose a magenta purple because of my warmer complexion; however, a cooler skin tone should go for a purple that has a blue or gray hue.

There’s so much to be thankful for, so it’s easy to smile
Happy Friday Loves! Disclaimer: I felt like changing it up a bit! This post is totally impromptu and unrelated to fashion. This week has been full of gratitude for me, and I wanted to share why. With all that’s going on in the world today and in our day to day personal lives, it’s easy to get overwhelmed sometimes. I must admit, over the past few weeks I’ve been feeling more tired than usual, which I still attribute to daylight savings time and losing that one hour of sleep. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it 🙂 Seriously speaking though, this is the time of year when the weather starts to warm up and I start to feel a little burnt out and ready for a break. They don’t call it Spring Break out of coincidence. Not seeing an opportunity for relieve in sight, I initially started to be a bit discouraged, and then I started focusing more on the positive aspects as to why I was so busy. Once I refocused and realized how blessed I am to even have an opportunity to be busy chasing my dreams and doing the things I love, my thoughts turned into being grateful. There’s so much to be thankful for, so it’s easy to smile! This week has been a great reminder for me to not lose sight of my blessings, no matter what the circumstance. If you’re dealing with something similar, I hope it serves as encouragement for you too.

Styling and Profiling! Why not?
There’s nothing wrong with having self-confidence if you look nice, feel like you have it together, and know it. I don’t believe clothes make the person. I believe clothes should enhance the person…. but have you ever wondered what other people see when they look at you, or wondered how your profile looks to them from all angles? How would you know if you don’t have a full-length view of your entire ensemble? This is simple, but not always obvious. As a personal stylist, I frequently work with clients who have no full length mirror. While an outfit may look appealing in the front, it may not always be the case in the back, and vise versa. It’s best to be able to judge an outfit in its entirety, instead of hoping the top half works with the bottom half. A full length mirror is an easy fix that could eliminate wardrobe malfunctions not easily seen, plus provide a way to see your full silhouette. I consider it a must have for everyone.

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.
