Autumn’s Hottest Cover-up Trend – The Cape
Guess what? The old fashion cape is back on the scene this winter. It’s one of my favorite ways to stay warm on days when it’s a bit nippy, but not cold enough for a coat. I paired my cape with black slacks, a simple blouse, and my leopard ankle strap heels. Cape’s do wonders for simple outfits, transforming slacks or jeans and a blouse into a classic look. These bad boys are darling because they continue to allow movement of your arms without restriction. I find them perfect for appointments, business meetings, or just a day of shopping. So wrap yourself up in a gorgeous cape soon, and until next time stay warm my lovelies! Love, The Ultimate...

The Neighborhood Awards – What I Wore
This past weekend I attended the 12th Annual Ford Neighborhood Awards, also known as the Hoodie Awards in fun Atlanta, GA. Although I had heard of the awards before, I wasn’t really sure what they were all about. The Neighborhood Awards was created by Steve Harvey and Television/Radio Producer Rushion McDonald. The show honors and celebrates local businesses, religious and community leaders, churches, and high schools for their excellent contributions within their own neighborhoods. It’s been described as the Oscars with an urban flair, featuring diverse, ultra talented celebrities, actors, athletes, and recording artists who present the awards to the stars of the community. Each of the winners of the 12 non-traditional awards get a really cool plaque they can post in their business, and the Best Community Leader Award is presented with a cash prize. I literary found out only a few weeks ago that I was going to attend. Ordinarily I would have gone all out, but I didn’t have time, so I opted to wear a dress I had never worn from my closet. While out thrifting some time ago, I picked up this black dress by designer Joseph Ribkoff for $50. The dress had never been worn before, and still had the original tags on it. I had never heard of dress designer, so out of curiosity I did some research and found his website. http://www.josephribkoff.com Turns out the company is based in Canada and has been around since 1957. It’s won many prestigious awards, and is recognized internationally. I would say I SCORED big time with this find. Needless to say the dress was...
Modern Rockabilly
Rockabilly, which is one of the earliest styles of rock and roll music started in the early 1950’s and was popular until the early 1960’s. During that time woman’s fashion reflected a complicated mix of conservatism and glamor. It was comprised of a girl-next-door freshness as well as alluring femininity. As I studied what was popular from a fashion stand-point, I wanted to provide some history on how the following styles were worn. Dresses and skirts – Swing dresses and skirts, as some are called were very popular, especially among teenagers. Dress designers made dresses and skirts full, and the shape of a perfect circle for sitting. Some people refer to them as “circle dresses.” The daytime hemline stopped around the knee. Hats – Wide brimmed hats. Smaller hats with veils. Glasses – Became more of a fashion statement. They featured new designs like the cat’s eye style with flared, pointed edges and frames were typically in different colors. Jewelry – Classic. Pearls or faux pearls were the most popular necklace. Jewelry was understated. Slim watches and subdued rings, along with conservative and elegant clip-on earrings were worn. Shoes – High heels had rounded toes, and were often with peep-toes. Espadrilles became a popular choice for casual comfort. When the rockabilly trend came back into the fashion scene a few years ago I was absolutely thrilled. I’ve always been very passionate about vintage styles, and this was no exception. Here’s my modern spin rockabilly outfit of the day. Blouse: New York & Company Skirt: kate spade new york (Jenica skirt) Retail $368. Not available any longer but found at...

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.
