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.

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.

This week I was named a Reveal Cosmetics Ambassador! I’m so excited about this new opportunity! After being on the hunt for a new makeup line, I finally found what I was looking for. Reveal Cosmetics offer lipsticks, eye colors, blush, body paints, pigments and more. Can you guess what the name of the new spring collection is called? It’s called “The Fashionista Collection”, which includes an amazing set featuring Luxe Mascara, Pearl Reflection Eyeshadow (creamy shimmer), Abyss Eyeshadow (matte), Revolt Blush (matte), Burnt Coco Lip Liner, and Fashionista Lipstick in a vibrant rich plum color. Right off the back, I’m sure you can take a guess why I like the name 🙂 After trying the products I fell in love with the quality, as well as the natural look I maintained. They also offer a brand spanking new bronzer for the summer that is amazing. You must check it out! Reveal Cosmetics products can be ordered online at http://www.revealcosmeticsonline.com (Located in Limited Edition Products), Lady Lucious Shoes in Durham, NC, OuterSkin II in Raleigh, NC, or the company can be contacted to find a rep. What better time than spring to introduce new colors into your beauty regime? Love, The Ultimate Fashionista...

That’s it! I’ve officially divorced winter! I can no longer take the dark colors, closed toe shoes, coats, beanies, or umbrellas. Today is officially the first day of spring, therefore it’s time to bring out the bright new colors! This past winter was harsh, so I’m embracing the change in season. Today’s outfit post is me declaring a closet edit, putting away my winter gear, swapping out my boots for sandals, and never looking back. This outfit was built around the shoes I purchased from ShoeDazzle about a month ago in anticipation of this day. If you’re a shoe lover but aren’t a ShoeDazzle customer, you’re missing out BIG TIME! Not only do I find myself drooling over the styles, the prices are extremely reasonable, and the sales are phenomenal. My new spring fling is the color combination blue and yellow. Lately I’ve been obsessing over it. It’s like a breath of fresh air. Although I love the color blue, I actually don’t wear it much, so it’s a different look for me. What do you think? When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone? Spring is the perfect time!

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...
