Here we are yet again in another chilly season, where the trees go bare, the cold breeze hits your hair and Starbucks has their seasonal pumpkin spice all ready for holiday cheer. I don't know  about you but this is also around the time where I wonder, where did all my sweaters go? Is it just me? 

We have all come to love florals especially in the spring and summer season. We love it so much that too often we want to carry the lilies and sunflowers with us in the fall. However, the way New York City is set up between the store season change and weather, it can be a bit difficult. So, today we are showing you how you can embrace your floral love for the fall while staying warm.

Layering in a new one. Sometimes the most fabulous items aren't the most partical. So, you have to get a bit creative on those things. This is not to say I don't love it, it just means you have to get a little uncomfortable in a great way. 

Who doesn't love a matchy matchy or what we would called coordinated looks. Once was thought of as too much is now coming back fiercer than ever. We first saw this styling in the 90s with shows like Moesha and Clueless, were the ladies would wear looks in the same color shade or print pattern. Now in 20th century it seems this trend has began to come back around. If you love the look but want to know how you can play it up where its not so matchy I can show you how. 

With all the holidays festivities going on and searching online for gifts no one has time to truly shop for self. This is the best time to learn how exactly to build upon the pieces you have in your closet. Since, it's sweater weather this is the best time to take on the challenge!!

casual Sunday are the best Sunday. Although I don't really need it to be Sunday in order to be causal, I just love saying it. Your style often says alot about your personality but more likely than not it's really how you feel in the morning. Today I really just wanted to embrace the meaning of this adorable tee. Blessed!!

It is officially summer and you know what that means! It's that perfect time for me to let my curls out! Just in time to because this month I'm happy to announce my first Summer Style Series, in collaboration with Tobi. This is a three part series that will be focused on three pieces I selected from Tobi. My goal is to show you how to pick out the right pieces that are great for summer yet can transition well, season to season. This is how you maximizing your wardrobe. Excited, I sure am!  So, let's get started! First up is this beautiful Lace top!

It's honesty time! I was so scared to wear head wraps because I thought my head was to big. Another reason is because I have to cornrow my hair down and then wrap it. Which often makes me feel like i don't have any hair. Most certainly is a lie. You see, I use to over analyze myself a lot. I'm currently working on it. Letting go every day little by little and trying things that make me a little uncomfortable. Out of no where I became obsessed with the headwrap trend. I decided it was time for me to dive head first and see what all the fuss was about.

How many of you ladies still have pooch trouble. You know "pooch", it's the daunting bottom of your midsection area that is not always visible unless your wearing something formfitting. It's the little area that if you could just slide it off you would be able to have the six pack you always wanted. Luckily, there are several  clothing that can camouflage this section while it's still under construction. Even if it's not under construction it is great to have a pair of items that flatters rather than gather.

Daunting when your looking at your wardrobe and you scream out "I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!!!" I think sometimes we can be a bit over dramatic don't you think. I know I am! Instead of screaming or turning our closet inside out let's stop for a second and think. What can we do to make something out of nothing.

Tis' the season to wear faux fur. A piece that never goes out of style, great to have and comes in many variations. From coats, hats, scarfs to stoles, etc. It is such a great staple to have in your winter wardrobe.

The holidays are here and for those on a budget like me, this is the best time to rework pieces in your wardrobe.  This blog is about learning how to maximize every piece in your wardrobe. Finding timeless pieces and learning how to build looks around it. 

Once upon a time, there was a young woman living in New York City. She was full of life and ambition. Every year she would hit the pavements spreading joy and cheer. She was the sun to the shine in the city. But one day a wicked witch came and cursed the land, making it cold on her birthday till the new year. The young woman was angst didn't know what to do. Then out of no where a great fairy appeared to grant one wish. the young woman said 'I wish to have the most warm and cozy cardigan in all the land." Her wish was granted.

It is amazing what you can do if you just think outside the box. Summer is here and the goal is to keep things cool and cute. I decide to restyle my pinstripe pant from the previous post. Showing you how to take a sophisticated piece  and use it in a casual look. 

Now that I showed you how to style your black jeans for your 9-5, lets show how we can have fun and make it into a Saturday night look. As a stylist my goal is to show everyone how to rework the items you already own. The key is to mix, match and take a chance with some of your looks. You can do so much with just the right amount of pieces. 10 pieces makes 30 looks; I will be doing a special segment on that soon. So be sure to subscribe to keep up to date with the last style tips.

As a wardrobe stylist and personal consultant I get a billion and one questions everyday. Especially, from people who ask me do a prep lab my outfits in the morning. To be honestly I really don't plan any of my outfits. It's truly a gift from God to know what works and doesn't work. A gift that decided to enhance and build by studying, and practicing hands on. Right now I'm at a stage where I truly want to help people with finding their own personal style, loving themselves and ultimately living a better life. So, I've decided to start doing How To's and Styling Series on the blog. I believe this will be a great way to really just answer any of your questions as well as really give you testimony on how styling my own body change the way I looked at myself. It truly is about how you feel on the inside and what you wear on the outside that will build your confidence and character. With the provide tools I hope to expand your knowledge and mine. First U...
