Behind The Scenes (Spring into Fashion)

This year I was paired up with Clothes Minded Boutique in Phoenix. We both worked together last year for MIM Rocks Fashion, so I was excited to be teamed up with Kim Kendall again. The pieces in her store are versatile for any look you are going for…dressy, casual or just the in-between. This spring is all about neutral and casual tones; so I decided to focus on simplicity meets effortless beauty and that is what shined on the runway this year at Phoenix Fashion Week’s Spring into Fashion show in downtown Phoenix. Below are a couple of interviews from the show by Phoenix Fashion Week and Valley Hype.

This was my first time getting a blow out at Park Avenue Blow Dry and Nail Bar and I loved the result! My hair actually stayed in place till the next day! 🙂 I felt like a movie star getting my curls pinned so of course I HAD to take a picture of it<3

All of the jewelry featured in my show were from Kendra Scott at  Scottsdale Quarter. I love her pieces because they can transition from day to night or a casual evening to a night out on the town. I own close to 10 pieces and I find new ways to pair them together everyday and you will see that from the looks on the runway.

I also teamed up with Block and Battaglia, the owner Christine is a full time real estate agent who when she’s not selling homes or running Block & Battaglia, spends her time focusing on her 2 great loves… her boyfriend and their son. Each Block & Battaglia bag is handmade by Christine, and all bags are one of a kind pieces. I have a clutch with Camelback Mountain on the front and I LOVE it (one because I am a native here in Arizona and two because it is just amazing!)

I have been preparing for this show the past couple of weeks and shot my video last weekend at one of my clients that turned into one of my best friends house (the view was amazing). This year my vision is simplicity meets effortless beauty, it’s all about being comfortable and fashionable this year without having to spend a fortune.

To Plaid

I am very excited to introduce my new “Guest Fashion Blogger” Catherine Gochoco! We met through Phoenix Fashion Week and I absolutely love her! Catherine has a personal style blog that showcases her street style as well as dressing up or down different items for different occasions. She describes her style as classic yet trendy. Catherine likes to stay close to whats hot on the fashion scene, while giving it her personal touch! Through the next couple months you will see blogs highlighting Catherine’s trends and finds. Enjoy!

I love the winter weather but keeping warm is a constant battle. I’m a desert girl and growing up we rarely had any winters that would require more than a light jacket. I’ve become a huge fan of winter white and think it adds such a stark contrast to the darker colors that are associated with the cooler months. Lately the 90’s have brought on so many street style looks and as a huge 90’s fan, I was in. I dressed up my over sized, grunge inspired plaid shirt with some faux leather pants and Voila! Outfit nirvana. This white trench spoke to me, it is so fresh compared to the black coats I usually wear. The coat brings out the more subtle colors in my shirt and ultimately brightens up the whole outfit. I’ve worn this ensemble on two different occasions; lunch meeting and dinner in the city. Both times I was comfortable, warm but mostly I looked great with very minimal effort. Great day to night outfit.

Black Friday Tips and Tricks!

It’s that time of year again……BLACK FRIDAY! For those of you that partake in this fun and busy shopping day I wanted to share a few pointers that have helped me get through this crazy day!

black_friday

1. Sleep!
Make sure you get enough sleep the night prior because your day is going to be full of walking and shopping

2. Be Comfy!
Wear your most comfortable shopping outfit and make sure to wear your tennis or ballet flats because by the end of your shopping day your feet with thank you

3. Know Where Your Going!
It is very important to plan accordingly; make sure to know where you want to shop, so you can plan a “play by play” on what stores have the best deals and where you need to park to get there (if you go to the mall)

4. Have A List!
It is always good to make a list of items you need to get for everyone on your holiday list and make sure to always ask the stores for gift boxes and tissue (because most of them give it to you for free)

5. Always Ask For A Gift Receipt!
It is very important to always ask for a gift receipt (even though you are probably the best gift giver ever; your friend or loved one might want to exchange their present for a different size or color and that will make it easier for them to do so)

6. Go With Someone!
I always recommend to shop with a friend or loved one on Black Friday because you always need a voice of reason to tell you “yes” or tell you “no,” it is also nice to have someone stand in line with you when you are waiting to purchase your presents

7. Site Deals!
If you don’t feel like fighting the crowd this Friday then make sure to take full advantage of the Black Friday Site Deals! Click here for various site deals (anywhere from Overstock.com to Macy’s, it’s all here at your fingertips)

8. Have Fun!
Last but not least make sure to have fun this Friday and make the best of it. I hope these tips and tricks help you this holiday season and remember when in doubt on gift giving this holiday…purchase a personal stylist gift card and I will take them shopping for a new and improved wardrobe! 🙂
