Ja’ire International Couture Shoot

Colorful, sexy, sleek and confident; those are the words that come to mind when I think of the Ja’ire International Couture and their amazing collection. Based in Los Angles, CEO Nekia Hattley and COO Ja’ire Hattley are sisters and very passionate about their brand. They describe their brand as wearable art; stunning fashion for the person who wants to be seen, admired and desired. Each piece is innovatively designed promoting individualism, art, and fantasy. It’s funk meets art meets couture. To see more of their collection stay tuned for Phoenix Fashion Week in October!

This was such a fun shoot, I worked with the fabulous make-up artist Janae Shields, the talented hair stylist Shanae Hughes and beautiful model Whitney Nelson.

Special thanks to my style team and amazing husband for helping me put this shoot together!

Happy Labor day and style on ladies and gents!

My Block and Battaglia Clutch.

My new obsession at the moment is my Camelback Mountain, Block and Battaglia clutch! So obsessed that I put together an entire outfit around it! I am an Arizona native so as soon as I saw this clutch, I knew I had to have it! This is an actual picture of Camelback Mountain taken by the designer Christine Battaglia! Battaglia lives in Arizona with her son and boyfriend and is a full time real estate agent. When she’s not selling houses she is creating works of art.

Earrings: Vince Camuto
Blazer: BCBG
High-waist black shorts: (had these jeans for years but here are some like it) Etsy
Cropped boots: Vince Camuto

Block and Battaglia clutch was also spotted with none other than Busy Phillips, perhaps best known for her supporting roles on the television series Freaks and Geeks, Dawson’s Creek and Cougar Town.

Is This You?

Have you ever looked in your closet and felt like the picture above? Everything is the same color and cut and you don’t feel like you have a variety in your closet? If this is you, schedule your free consult with me and I can take you on a fashion journey for new and improved statement pieces that will blend in with your current looks!

But while you are waiting and want a quick fix I highly recommend this store I found online called USTrendy. It has all the styles you need whether you are looking for a casual weekend look to a dressy night out. You simply can’t go wrong! Below are some of my favorite pieces from the online shopping boutique!

I love this mint dress and it is perfect for night or day and can be transitioned with a simple layering piece like a jacket (but who would want to cover the bow in the back). This is definitley a piece that will carry on into the fall!

Simply LOVE this pale orange backless bow dress. I didn’t wear any jewelry with this piece because the dress is a statement piece within itself. I just paired this look with tan gladiator strapped wedges and put my hair up so I didn’t take away from the beautiful backside of the dress 🙂

I love a good big ol’ bag, the kind that could double as a diaper bag when my son was a baby, the kind that fits everything you’ll need on a flight, the kind that start to hurt your shoulder after carrying it all day, the kind that make me feel like I’ve lost my keys-wallet-lipstick because I can’t find it in that big ol’ bag… I do love them but it’s also nice to edit everything down, only take what you need for a an evening out with friends or a trip to the store and it’s even more fun when you have a super cute bag to carry your pared down necessities.

I started making bags to sell on Etsy a few months back and I love making a good ol’ clutch, I think they are both fresh and elegant. I love to play with colors and shapes & combining textiles. You can find them at Etsy.com/shop/BlockAndBattaglia Here are some of my favorites that are available now.

I love this style for work since its just big enough to carry my iPad but without it it has a real cute slouch happening.

I love the Pom Poms on this one, I strung them myself to go with this bag. The vintage embroidered fabric is so vibrant, this is a one of kind piece.

Keep an eye out for this style coming soon with detachable straps…for those days when you don’t feel like lugging around the big guy but want to give your hands a break.

Who doesn’t love Ikat, this particular woven fabric comes from India.

I can’t pass up a beautiful Batik fabric, the shades of blue on this bag make my heart skip a beat.

The most fun bag to make are these rouched fabric clutches. They are challenging to make but always turn out awesome.

This is last one is very dear to me. I love Arizona, I love the desert. I snapped this photo of Camelback Mountain from the balcony at the Valley Ho and I think it’s such a fun homage to the place I call home.

Each bag I sell is handmade by me and I add a few bags each week so be sure to check out my Etsy store often to see what’s new.

Michelle Hebert. Luxury Designer. Tropical Paradise

This past weekend I had the privilege of working with and styling a shoot for designer, Michelle Hebert from Los Angles, California. Her designs are elegant and timeless, Hebert intertwines art and fashion that creates captivating designs for sophisticated women. At a very young age she pursued art, and within this pursuit she found her love for apparel design seeing people opposed to paper as a canvas. One thing she has never forgotten since her childhood was a statement by her father Achille C. Hébert II, “never give up your art”. By listening to his advice, Hebert’s designs to date have been worn by several entertainers such as Kelli Berglund of Disney Channel’s Lab Rats, Tracy Hutson from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and the 19th cycle winner of Americas Next Top Model Laura James. They have also walked down the red carpet at award ceremonies such as the 55th Annual Grammy Awards and the 2013 BET Awards. Within these next few months keep your eyes open for new work, new trials, new triumphs, and most excitingly an unreleased campaign. Below is a picture of Michelle Hebert at one of her shoots wearing a piece she designed and looking stunning and elegant as ever!

Hebert’s designs inspired me to style a bright colorful landscape on a tropical island. It took a couple weeks for me to find the perfect place to shoot these looks but after various trips around Arizona I found just the place! I collaborated with makeup artist Janae Shields, my amazing husband Mat Tondreau as my photographer and the beautiful and talented Kimberly Lopez as my model. Below are Michelle Hebert’s designs with a tropical twist. Enjoy!

Behind The Scenes…
We all had such a great time during this shoot, it was so easy making these shots look amazing because of the artistic designs and my beautiful model!

I hope you enjoyed this designer post. Make sure to check out Michelle Hebert!

Flirty and Fun!

Crop tops, bra tops, bandeau tops and the bralette top inspired me to put this look together! I truly never thought that I could pull off a crop top because I am only 5″1 and my torso is about 6 inches long but I think I did ok:) This is a fun look that I would wear out to dinner or a night out with the girls! Since I work in a office during the day I probably wouldn’t wear the crop top but would switch it out with a silk white button up.

Chanel Earrings, Vintage By Misty
“Mrs” Necklace, Kate Spade
Boyfriend Blazer, Forever 21
Crop Top, Guess By Marciano
High Waist Skirt, Francesca’s
Watch, Michael Kors
