This Saturday I had the pleasure of working with Allie Olson, owner of Allie Ollie Boutique and designer of the Ensemble line. The funny story behind this, is after she asked me to style her show through email; I looked her up on facebook and realized that we went to broadcasting summer camp together over 11 years ago. I even have proof! Below is a picture we took during summer camp at a Phoenix Suns game and the picture underneath is us at a Phoenix Fashion Week Meet Up event a couple of weeks ago! Boy have times changed….and I lost my cheeks! 🙂

This fashion show not only was fun but went to a great cause! By bringing in pieces of clothing for the Sojourner Center (that provides temporary homes as well as programs that teach self-sufficiency, empowerment, and family skills, which helps women from domestic violence rebuild their lives and re-enter society) you received 50% off your purchase at Allie Ollie.

The pieces in the ENSEMBLE line are all about redefining mix and match style; they are designed for versatility and fun (as always) for women of all ages. All pieces are machine washable, made in the USA, and are great for either career or travel dressing because everything is wrinkle free.

All of the hang tags for the line were shot in the heart of Arizona, outside in the beautiful desert.

During this beautiful Memorial Day weekend while most of you were bbqing and laying by the pool; I stayed indoors and caught up on some overdue cleaning, reading and took care of my husband (that recently broke his arm playing basketball). He is in a temporary cast (shown below)…and yes he looks like the bionic man :). So while he was resting; I decided to do some experimenting…since my husband usually takes my blog pictures I had to think outside of the box of a blog topic.

photo

So while reading, I stumbled across an article on “DIY” face masks…so I decided to give it a shot! All you need is at least 6 strawberries and 2 tablespoons of honey. Toss the 6 strawberries in a blender until the fruit is mashed; then combine with 2 tablespoons of honey and apply to face for 10 minutes and “POOF,” you have a hydrated and exfoliated face :). The acids in the strawberries exfoliate and the honey hydrates your skin and I also noticed that it leaves your face feeling very smooth.

If you try out the mask at home, let me know what you think!

Happy Monday and style on!

Meaning….I find my favorite fashion items that inspire me to tweak it to my liking (and price) and turn it into a lifestyle <3 Those are the 3 words I live by in fashion.

More exciting news is that I hit over “1000” likes on my Personal Stylist page today (what an amazing weekend!) I truly appreciate all the love and support from my family and fashion friends for keeping up with me on social media! If there is anything you would like me to blog about or look for while shopping leave me a message on my blogs or shoot me an email [email protected].

Friday evening I did some shopping at one of my favorite stores…..Forever 21! I found some very flowy, comfy dresses that are great for dinner or daytime and also work well as a swimsuit cover-up. Both dresses have the high/low-cut (where it is short in the front and long in the back). Both dresses are also under $20 and can be dressed up with accessories (shown below)!

This dress is from Forever 21 and my necklace is from Target (received this beauty on my birthday from Rose and Erin…Love you ladies).

This is another dress from Forever 21 and the necklace too! I bought the black clipped belt from American Apparal for $12. All of these looks are super casual and comfortable for this hot summer!

Hope all of you enjoy your Memorial Day weekend!

This past weekend I was on a mission to find dark denim high-waist shorts…but of course when I am looking for something, I find and WANT everything else but what I am actually looking for. So while shopping I found this mirrored effect floral printed dress at Forever 21. This new print is on trend and will continue to be well into Fall. I am even starting to see this “mirrored effect,” in swimsuits too!

I love this cut and fit because I can wear it with a blazer for work and take off the blazer for happy hour or a date night. If you are an online shopper and want to purchase this dress make sure to buy a size larger than you would usually be because it runs a bit snug.

I had the privilege of working with a women that just graduated from Arizona State University, that is a complete doll to work with! She came to me looking for a graduation outfit and we ended up finding so much more! I wanted to share what she sent me along with the looks we purchased during our shopping spree. I completely LOVE what I do and I love working with people!

“My shopping adventure with Rochelle was such a wonderful experience. She made shopping for my special occasion so fun and stress free. Rochelle listened to me and answered all of my questions about my own personal style and the look that I was going for. I felt beautiful and confident and I received so many compliments everywhere I went. Rochelle is such a positive and uplifting person. She really cares and takes the time to listen to the people that she comes in contact with. She has the unique ability to take a simple piece of clothing and turn it into something fabulous. Rochelle’s dedication, creativity, and love for fashion and the people that she works with, are what make her and the service that she offers so special. I highly recommend Rochelle’s styling services for any and all occasions.”

Shopping for my mom on Mother’s Day is always hard for me because my mom has everything! There is only so many mani’s and pedi’s I can get her or jewelry. So this year I am trying to think outside the box and I wanted to share my ideas with all of you!

photo

For starters this Mother’s Day I am running a fun special! It is a 1 Hour Closet Consult for $100. This fashion journey starts at your home in your closet! During your 1 to 2 hour consultation; I will get to know you and your styling needs in order for me to assess your likes and dislikes and come up with a plan that is customized just for you. I will also mix and match the clothing that you already have in your closet to make new outfits for your every day wear…whether it is for work or play!

Another cool idea is premade dinners from My Dinner Kitchen. They provide pre-assembled meals to make your life easy; they design the dinner and prepare the ingredients for ready-to-cook meals from scratch. There pre-assembled meals are then frozen and sent home with easy to follow cooking instructions. They offer 6 different menus of ready-to-cook meals for your dining pleasure! Best of all, their delicious, pre-assembled meals are very cost-effective!

yoga

These days there’s a type of yoga for every need—fitness, pain relief, relaxation, etc. So if your mom could use a lift, get her a trial at a local studio. Pair the gesture with some cute accessories like a mat, yoga video or water bottle!

What mom doesn’t love a picture of their kids? Last year for Mother’s Day, my husband and I didn’t know what to get my mother in law. So we decided to all go to downtown Chandler set up a tripod and take a picture! The picture above was one of many that we gave her in a frame colleage that we bought at Target. We also got her a small 4×6 frame to put on her desk at work. When she opened the present she was in tears! 🙂

I hope this helps when you are shopping for your mom this Mother’s day! Good Luck!

Well, summer is officially here!!! It hit 100 degrees last week and today I am laying out by the pool and enjoying this beautiful Arizona weather while writing to all of you!

So in honor of the summer weather I wanted to show you a casual, fun summer look that can be worn on the weekend day drinking or at a bbq.

I love dressing up but sometimes it’s nice to be comfy and casual when it’s hot. But don’t forget to stay extremely colorful this summer because you will see lots of color out there in magazines, fashion blogs and watching House Wives of Orange County of course lol! 🙂

Field of colors, lace, crystals and tall models galore; that pretty much summed up my Friday night at JW Marriot Desert Ridge for the Massage Envy Fashion Show! This show was a grand production and I had an amazing time styling this show! Thanks to Phoenix Fashion Week for letting me style such a fun and colorful event!

photo 2

For this show I was inspired by Massage Envy’s location color/theme…..PURPLE!!! So I wanted the color pallet to flow around the rich purple they use to trademark their name. (Shown Below)

All of the models in this picture are wearing looks from Dillards. The Saturday before the show I spent close to 3 hours in the Scottsdale Fashion Square location, pulling looks because there was sooo much to choose from (which is never a bad thing). What really stood out to me was the flowy dresses and tailored jackets and for the men I was drawn to board shorts and rolled up skinny’s for summer!

I also wanted to give a special “shout out” to the amazing style team that helped me backstage with a flawless show! I look forward to working with all of you again! 🙂

Spring is now quickly turning into summer weather and I wanted to check out the stores to see if I could find any transition pieces for my wardrobe. I recently went on a mini shopping spree at Tempe Market Place this past weekend and I found a crisp, white peplum rayon top at Divaz Boutique. This top inspired me to do a blog post on Work to Weekend Wear Looks!
