Birthday Bash!
Last Saturday night I hit the town and headed to a friend’s birthday bash. I wanted to wear something casual but fun, so I pulled out my silk leopard shorts and paired it with my Bailey 44 Leather Trim Cap Sleeve Top. I accessorized with vintage earrings from a thrift shop, a necklace from Charming Charlie, linen open toe pumps by Elizabeth and James, and a black envelope clutch! Here I am before heading out for the night… The party was at Thaiphoon Bistro. http://www.thaiphoonbistro.com/ This venue was absolutely gorgeous with a balcony and view of a popular street in downtown Raleigh. Two of my favorite fly girls met me there. They are gorgeous both inside and out! I fell in love with her bag! Isn’t it to die for? Here’s a selfie of us having fun! And finally, here’s us posing with the Birthday Boy! It was an EPIC night that only Rodney could pull off! Happy Birthday Rodney!!!! I hope everyone has a great rest of the week. Stay Stylish!

Spend with savvy!
Be Excited about your clothes! If you don’t want to break the bank but want to look great, keep reading to learn how to spend with savvy! Now more than ever all of us want to look our best, but not spend a fortunate on clothes. People often ask me where I shop. They’re surprised when I tell them that I shop every where. That’s because I enjoy wearing lesser-known brands and throwing in designer pieces to create an eclectic look. I also love mixing current and past fashion trends, as well as mixing high-end clothing with low-end ideas. I’m a firm believer it’s not where you shop, but how you put things together. Most people think the main item of an outfit should be the big-ticket item, but it’s not always the case. The skeleton of an outfit, such as handbag, shoes, and jacket should generally be what you spend the most on, but sometimes it depends on the circumstances. This is where a good stylist and personal shopper can help. One rule of thumb is to always invest in clothing and accessories that not only excite you, but will last long. Wearing the latest trends is perfectly fine, but my rule of thumb is to throw in a few of those pieces opposed to making them my entire wardrobe. Here’s an example of how I pulled together an eclectic look from shopping everywhere. Dress: Ross Linen Jacket: Elie Tahari (Found at a thrift store) Shoes: Michael Kors (From my closet) Bag: Cromia http://www.cromiabags.com/ Earrings: Kate Spade (T.J.Maxx) Until next time…. Smooches!

Stripes, Polka Dots, and Zebra, Oh MY!
Be BOLD! Be FABULOUS! Be YOU! Coat: Tulle, found at local thrift store | Dress: Striped sweater dress found at Ross | Shoes: Sam Edelman ‘Novato’ Slingback Pump (Another option is here) | Clutch: Maurizio Taiuti Italy Zebra Stripe | Accessories: Chanel earrings, vintage; Polka dot hose, found at Marshall’s; Tom Ford sunglasses * * * Just when I thought combining plaid with fishnet, stripes with floral, and zebra and leopard print was too over the top, I saw this striped sweater dress in my closet. I contemplated wearing it with the standard black hose, but then I remembered the funky polka dot hose I had never worn. Being the fashion rebellious person that I am, I decided to mix the two, and it was like a match made in print-mixing-heaven. Another rebellious thing I did was wear my slingback pumps with hose. The fashion police usually recommend never wearing hose, socks or leggings with slingback pumps, whether they’re closed or open toed because the strap at the back of the shoe can cause the material to bunch and rip. I dare to be different and just happen to love the look of these hose with the slingbacks, so I made it work. The coat came about simply by accident because my black coat was in the dry cleaners. Once I put it on, I loved how the green made the fuchsia and black dress pop. This is when I say more is more and fortunately it worked perfectly for me! Hope you have a fabulous rest of the week! 🙂 Love, The Ultimate...
Styling jeans with a blazer for Fall 2013
Happy Fall Dolls! Fall is here and since I’ve been in a casual mood lately, I wanted to show a classic take on wearing jeans with a blazer. This is one of my favorite relaxed looks for autumn. Start with a warm brown blazer, and pair it with dark washed wide legged jeans. I shopped my closet and found a blazer I had for several years. For this look, I decided to wear with my brown open toe patent leather Michael Kors ankle booties. I love how you can’t tell if these are boots or shoes. This look can be worn in an office on dress down day. It’s also fabulous for shopping or movies. I plan on touching on this topic once again during the fall. I hope you are enjoying all this fall fashion talk as much as me! Happy Shopping! And Stay Gorgeous as ALWAYS! Love, The Ultimate Fashionista ...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.
