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...
ShoeDazzle Takes New York
Hey Loves, I’m a proud Brand Ambassador for ShoeDazzle, which is an online fashion subscription service based in El Segundo, California. ShoeDazzle offers amazing shoes which are both fashionable and timeless. Last month I was fortunate to attend the very first ShoeDazzle meetup on the east coast, held in New York, New York. This southern belle graciously packed her bags and headed straight for The Big Apple to meet virtual friends I’ve been interacting with but never had an opportunity to meet. Upon arriving on Friday, I met up with three other fellow ambassadors at the Marriott Courtyard Midtown East Hotel. We spent the evening getting acquainted since we were my roommates for the next two days. Day 2, Saturday afternoon was our first official meeting in Times Square at the famous red bleachers. The anticipation was killing me but I was thrilled to finally meet the ShoeDazzle management staff who makes the program successful, and the other brand ambassadors from all around the world. It was amazing to hear how far some of the ladies traveled. The furthest was from Hawaii. Can you say WOW?! After the initial meet and greet, our assignment which was an ice breaker, was to unleash our inner blogger and team up with other ambassadors for a NY-inspired street style scavenger hunt. There were several places/objects where we had to take fun photos. We took a short break and next on the agenda was meeting at 230 Fifth Rooftop Bar for cocktails, appetizers and treats. Day 3 began with a lovely brunch with the gorgeous ShoeDazzle Ambassadors at Parker & Quinn at the...
Color Me Badd
Who remember’s the American contemporary R&B group from the 90’s called Color Me Badd? That’s what comes to mind when viewing some closets. They are just begging for some color. Do have a closet full of neutrals but are a tad bit afraid to branch out? If so, introducing color isn’t as bad as you think. There are a several ways to take baby steps to introduce color, and before you know it your closet can be looking like a huge color wheel. I am providing some tips and hints to help you overcome your fear of color. Tip Number 1: Stop using black as an excuse. Many people fall into the typical “Black goes with everything” mode, and therefore never branch out to try new colors. Just plain STOP IT and step out of your comfort zone! You can start breaking up the monotony of black, and brighten up your wardrobe with pops of color using one item at a time. Hint: Choose colorful accessories that make a statement. Introduce colorful shoes, handbags, scarves, necklaces or earrings. You can also introduce splashes of color using your make up. Tip Number 2: Stop thinking wearing colors is seasonal. While it’s a fact that every color doesn’t look good on everyone, don’t fall into the category of following old rules about what seasons to wear colors in. Instead, figure out what colors work best for you, and build your wardrobe around your individual style. Hint: Be some what of a risk-taker and wear colors that span seasons, instead of thinking you can’t wear something in a season because of the...
These streets weren’t ready
My cousin was recently in town for a visit. We had girl time and of course did a little shopping. We headed to T.J.Maxx and HomeGoods and found some amazing deals. She insisted on buying me a belated birthday gift, so I found a beautiful floral patterned rain coat, which recently came in handy given all of the rain we just had. Today I wore my new rain coat with ShoeDazzle’s Salima street style. This is actually the first time I have owned any red booties, and I must say they gave me life. The color is a deep, rich, eye-catching red. Not only did I love the way they looked, but they were also extremely comfortable. What is your opinion on how I styled this look? // Coat (Adrianna Papell) // // Skirt (Henri Bendel) // // Shoes (Salima by ShoeDazzle) // Photography by: BoostedJ Love, The Ultimate...
Fun-filled weekend
Last weekend I had so much fun with my beautiful cousin who was in town for a short visit. She’s full of life and is always a lot of fun to be around. It all started on Friday night when she arrived and we stayed up late laughing and catching up. On Saturday we made our way out for an early morning run to Walmart. As we were leaving couldn’t resist having a photo shoot with the fall display of pumpkins and hay that was outside. People walking by probably thought we were crazy, but we didn’t care. lol Around mid-day we enjoyed a delicious lunch at Tupelo Honey Cafe, where Southern Food is Good for the Soul. Then we had another mini photo shoot session right outside the restaurant. But what’s a girl’s weekend without a little shopping? Stay tuned in my next post for where we headed to do our shopping…. 🙂 // Shoes (Leo by ShoeDazzle) // Love, The Ultimate...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.
