Luxury shopping at affordable prices
Happy Friday everyone, Who else besides me loves to find high end quality items at affordable prices? As a Fashion Stylist and Blogger I get asked all the time where I shop, and it’s no secret that it’s everywhere! Today I’m sharing one of my absolute favorite places to shop in North Carolina, where I constantly find luxury items for amazingly great prices. Have you heard of National Pawn? If not you’re in for a treat! I had the wonderful opportunity to go on a mini shopping spree at their Fleetwood Drive store in Raleigh, North Carolina earlier this week. This location is one of sixteen stores in the state, and is one of their larger stores in the Triangle. As usual I browsed around for a short time, but it didn’t take long to spot several items I wanted to purchase. One of the things I love about shopping at National Pawn is they literally have everything! You never know what you’re going to find. They specialize in luxury brands, and in that regard are much more like a high end consignment shop rather than a pawn shop. From designer jewelry, designer handbags, electronics, to home items, they are absolutely your one stop shop for high quality items. The best part about it is they have layaway, which makes purchasing big ticket items a breeze. Secondly, the staff is always so nice and helpful. They don’t hover over you while shopping and genuinely want to make sure you’re happy with your purchases.

Conquer The World in a Statement Jumpsuit
Hello my Loves, I hope you’re having an excellent day and great start to the week! Have you considered wearing a wide-leg jumpsuit that finishes just above the ground? If not you may want to reconsider, as it will add some serious style to your wardrobe. This Printed Crossbody Jumpsuit by ShoeDazzle will have you feeling like conquering the world and glamorous all at the same time. There’s a jumpsuit style for every body type, but this style looks great if you’re tall. If you’re short I recommend a slim, straight-leg, cropped style. I’ll admit, most people don’t like jumpsuits because they’re not exactly the most convenient when it’s time to go. LOL! On top of that they can be tricky to pull off, but if you find the right style for your body type they are so worth it because they create such a striking look.

Sea of Sunflowers
Happy Saturday Loves, I hope your summer is off to a great start! Today I’m hanging out with the happiest flower on earth. Lost in a sea of these sunflowers reflecting on their beauty, rich history and meaning. The sunflower symbolizes adoration, loyalty and longevity, which are attributes I cherish and uphold. And speaking of adore, sundress season is here and I love these type of pretty dresses in the summertime. This sexy sleeveless floral maxi dress by ShoeDazzle features a plunging V-neck, ruffle trim detail, and high front slit. The colors are very vibrant and it’s cool and breezy, which is definitely needed in the hot temperatures we’ve been having already. I may look calm and collective up to now, but in case you’re wondering why I’m laughing so hard in this next shot, it’s because I thought my ponytail was a bee! I screamed out loud a few times throughout the rest of the shoot, and my photographer thought I was cray. LOL! I really wish y’all could be behind the scenes some days so you can see what really goes into these shoots. They can be so hilarious. I wouldn’t trade it for the world though. Overall this day was like a dream come true, being in such a magical place surrounded by such beautiful and happy flowers!

When Art Meets Fashion – Part 2 (The Enchanted Forest)
Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable holiday. If you’ve been following me, you know a few weeks ago I had a photo session with Daniel J Studios and featured “When Art Meets Fashion – Part 1” on my blog. I talked about how amazing the shoot was, and how important it is to have someone capture your work so that it’s presented correctly. Today I’m happy to share Part 2 of the shoot, and I hope you will find it equally amazing! This set reminded me of an enchanted forest, and what came to mind is how we sometimes miss the forest for the trees. A forest is full of beautiful trees for the beholding but when we get so engrossed in the individual trees, we can forget that each tree is merely one of thousands in the forest and lose sight of what really matters. Let’s not forget to take a deep breath, take a step back and evaluate the bigger picture in the grand scheme of things. The ability to not see the bigger picture from God’s point of view can cause us to be stressed, frustrated and unhappy. Happy people have a larger perspective and see the big picture. No matter what’s going on in our lives we must feel confident that God is working out a plan.

Royal Wedding Ready
Happy Saturday everyone! Did you watch the Royal Wedding? Since I wasn’t invited I decided to feature a look fit for attending such a historical event. A trend among royal family buffs in recent years is fascinators. These little hats were popularized by the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, and are called fascinators because they actually attach to the head. I’m a lover of hats and have many, but this whimsical fascinator by Giovannio Hats is one of my all time favorites. I chose this chiffon polka dot white dress by Light In The Box because its unique appearance is sophisticated, classic, fun and modern at the same time. This timeless print will never go out of style. If you watched the wedding what are your thoughts and who do you think was best dressed? Have a great rest of the weekend and continue to be royal!

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.
