Her Grandmother’s Style: Timeless Fashion
While growing up, I regularly traveled to vintage and consignment shops with my grandmother, mother, and sisters. It didn’t take long for my sisters and I to quickly became lovers of timeless fashion. Beyond my sisters, I had never met someone who loves vintage fashion as much, or more as we do until I was introduced to my friend Mary Liles aka Memsy, last year. Once I met her, the connection was instant and it seems as if we had been knowing each other longer. Everything about Mary is absolutely amazing! Her kind heart, bad-ass style, uniqueness, being well-traveled, are just a few of the reasons why she’s freaking FABULOUS! With that said, she’s exactly the type of friend I’m blessed to have in my corner. Even her cat “Ruby” is freaking amazing! Mary is a vintage dealer and her baby is Boot & Trunk (Follow her on Instagram). She often holds private and public trunk shows where you can find the most amazing vintage from her travels. I could go on forever about my friend, but I should probably get to the real reason for this blog post. Today is Mary’s birthday, and I’m extremely honored to share an outfit that belonged to her grandmother. How cool is that? I sat down with Mary and she shared a little about her grandmother with me. She did not work and was from a well off family in Charlotte, NC. We had a wonderful time and it was great learning about her family tree and the history of this outfit. It was easy to gather that Mary’s grandmother loved fashion, had...
Wine and Design! Day to Night Look
Have you ever had to quickly go from a day look to a night look in a flash? Today I’m providing a few tips on how to achieve this goal in a matter of seconds and look fabulous. Take a look at this dress. It’s perfect for a day look. You could also add a blazer if you want to wear it to work. For a casual look I paired the dress with tribal earrings, a choker necklace, and a printed clutch. To quickly transform this dress into an evening look for a hot date, I added a dramatic duster which provides a romantic look. I swapped into more formal accessories. The entire change only took seconds. Don’t forget you can bring another pair of gorgeous heels which can also dramatically change your look.

Attention Shoppers!! The Blue Light Special is on!
Sirens are sounding and the blue light is flashing because this one-of-a-kind strappy back wide leg jumpsuit by ShoeDazzle is selling out! This is by far one of my favorite jumpsuits lately. The material feels soft and it’s comfortable. I recently took it with me on vacation and it was so nice not have to spend time picking out a top and bottom to wear. I also love the ocean blue color which reminds me of the sea.

Ace Your Style
Even on a casual day, always ace your style! I’m strolling into the weekend with my classic Ace tote by JustFab. I love a good tote because they’re extremely convenient and versatile. This one certainly lives up to its name and has been my favorite all season. Although tote bags are generally economical, this bag is even more of a steal because it’s reversible, so in essence it’s two bags for the price of one. I love how the two tone colors are easy to switch back and forth, but also how it gives a pop of color while carrying it. Other beneficial features are the oversized removable pouch that can be used as a make up bag or what ever your heart desires, and the invisible magnetic closure. Ace comes in a variety of colors for fall that won’t disappoint. And remember, whether out shopping, arriving at the airport or talking a stroll around a city, your off-duty look should be put together well. Ace it!

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.
