Fifty Shades of Lace
It’s exactly one week from Christmas and I’ve been religiously listening to Whitney Houston’s “Do You Hear What I Hear”, which is one of my favorite song’s this time of year. I can’t wait to spend the holidays with my family! In preparing for another Christmas party this weekend, I opted for a bold and sophisticated look in this exquisite belled A-line shaped orange-red dress. This outfit is extremely comfortable and stylish, and the dress color symbolizes physical energy which is appropriate for this season. Coupled with a black blazer makes this look more unified. I turned this ensemble up a notch by pairing it with my over-the-knee lace overlay peep toe boots. These lace boots are to die for! While the origin of lace is disputed by historians, most agree it arose in the early sixteenth century. It’s safe to say lace has been around for a very long time, and it continues to be featured on runways from New York to Paris. Lace is classic and I love its ability to add a feminine flair to any outfit it graces. I’d love to see your comments below on what are you wearing to your holiday parties. Until then, sending love your way this Christmas! //Black Blazer (Paper-Crown)// //Red Skater Dress (Parker NY)// Alternative boohoo //Kaye Over-The-Knee Boots (ShoeDazzle)// //Lips Clutch (Old)// Alternative FarFetch Photography by: Em Grey Photography Love, The Ultimate...
Not your average Holiday Look
The holiday season is in full swing, which means there are holiday parties to attend and plenty of opportunities to get dressed up. I love busting out the red and sparkle for this time of the year, but today I’m sharing a holiday look with an edgy twist that will put the average Little Black Dress to shame. This tulle skirt is perfect for the holidays. It’s froufrou in all the right ways. If you’re not familiar with a tulle skirt it’s the airy and whimsical princess skirt for grown ups. Since the skirt is full, I opted for a higher fitted waist and used a cropped leather moto jacket which hits at the waist to draw the eye to my smallest point. The spikes add a little edge to this very girly skirt. It’s all about having fun and looking feminine! This skirt was custom made by Jacqui’s Place Designs. The great news is that it can be customized specifically for you! The waist material can be the changed or shortened, as well as the color of the skirt. To place your order for a custom made tulle skirt contact Jacqui’s Place Designs.

Date night with ShoeDazzle’s Harley
Welp! Thanksgiving is over and once again, the holiday season is here. My beau and I were tired of turkey so we decided to switch it up a bit and head out for a nice sushi dinner and night on the town to listen to some live music. // Shoes – Harley by PaperFox (ShoeDazzle) // Love, The Ultimate...
Getting back to nature with Modern Terrarium Studio
Last week The Raleigh Blog Society and triFABB collaborated for a wonderful new blogger meetup, hosted by Ramble Supply Company located in downtown Raleigh, NC. Ramble Supply Company is a home and lifestyle boutique supporting artists and makers with an eye for quality crafted goods and design made in small batches. The store offers a range of gorgeous gifts such as beautiful hand-made jewelry and textiles, as well as locally made soaps and treats. I also love that the store offers DIY classes and events to connect the local community, and the ability to meet the maker. Jessie Conner, owner of Ramble Supply Company also showed us the beautiful patio which can be rented for events. Megan George Co-Owner and Creative Director of The ZEN Succulent provided a hands on succulent terrarium workshop to promote her new book Modern Terrarium Studio. As Megan told her story about how she grew up locally and became interested in plants because of her upbringing it brought back fond memories of my childhood when I used to spend most of time helping my grandparents in their garden. Oh how I miss the days of being close to nature and having direct access to the fruits of the earth. Lately the hustle and bustle of daily life has taken me away from nature lately so this was refreshing change in my routine. I was excited about getting my hands dirty. Learning how to create and take care of a terrarium was amazing. Megan not only explained things but her book steps you through all of the details of the process. I was surprised at...About Me
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.
