Nebraska, the origin of a dream nurtured in the midst of corn fields and cattle drives. Personalities of sisters and nieces transformed into style names for her clothing. The cattle brand became a logo for the JHaus Brand. Her designs represent strength and durability, the real American roots. That’s JHaus.

Jennifer Hausmann, owner and designer of JHaus Brand is an inspiration. We had met for coffee and that quick coffee chat turned into a great coffee date! 🙂 Jennifer’s passion is completely contagious and I had the pleasure of styling a fashion show she was featured in, back in March. Before styling I was in retail for over 11 years and have seen my fair share of denim (working at various clothing companies that specialize in denim) and I have never seen the quality and color that JHaus denim carries before. My favorites are the Rebecca Colored Skinny and the Emmie Skinny. When washing denim there is always a worry that the denim itself can lighten or look old after one wash but I have washed my colored denim a couple of times (inside out) and they still look brand new!

JHaus not only carries jeans but they carry tops, jackets and skirts too! The dress shown above has been down various catwalks around the U.S. This dress is actually made out of burlap and couldn’t look more elegant!

For my fun JHaus shoot I wanted to have a lot of color to reflect a summer vacation. Below are my two favorite pairs of denim paired with clothes out of my closet! Hope you enjoy!

Style on Ladies and Gents!

When it comes to birthday dinners, engagement parties, weddings, baby showers, graduation parties, reunions and even going to the grocery store. I always have it all mapped out, on exactly what I am going to wear. I know that may sound weird to many of you but as soon as I get an e-vite, my very first thought is, “what I am going to buy that person” and then I think of what I am going to wear. To this day, I still wish I was Cher on Clueless and had all of my outfits on my computer to scroll through so I don’t have to destroy my closet looking for the perfect look!

Then some of you are the complete opposite and wait until the very last-minute possible to go shopping (which is not a bad thing; you just have to know where to look). So I thought I would spill the beans and tell you about the best places to shop last-minute!

One of my favorite places to shop is Dillard’s; it truly is a one stop shop for everything! Your outfit, shoes, jewelry and makeup…all under one roof. One of my favorite collections is from Antonio Melani, in the women’s department (not juniors). Their looks are sexy and sophisticated and hug your body in all of the right places!

The dress above is one of my favorite Antonio Melani dresses, I wear this dress to work and can also pair it with a coral blazer to give it a different look! The dress below is also from the same collection and it is truly one of my favorites! The material feels like a swimsuit (very stretchy and smooth), I love the vibrant color and I also paired it with a gold belt to break up my body (to make me look taller because I have a small torso). This picture was taken on Good Morning Arizona, when I was interviewed for the MIM Rocks Fashion Show in March 2013!

Another favorite is Target! When I am on the go and just need to pick up my essentials; I always stop in the clothing section just to see if anything stands out (and something always does).

For instance, this picture is a behind the scenes,” look from a photo-shoot this past weekend. When I booked the photo-shoot, I was wondering what I was going to wear and this denim romper from Target came to mind because it was light weight and comfortable to wear. I felt like I didn’t have to accessorize too much with this look because the ruffle at the top gave it a little twist! I believe that this romper is still at Target, so buy it before they all sell out! 🙂

Another quick “get in get out,” place to shop is Francesca’s. This is another location where you can buy your entire look without having to go into a different store for accessories or headbands. Their sale racks are my favorite place to shop because the sales are a steal and I sometimes buy a lot more because I know I’m saving so much money (that’s what I try to tell myself)!

I always find very random things there and while I am buying my outfit; I usually find great presents for friends and family. The picture above is one of my favorite dresses because it is so comfortable and never wrinkles in my suitcase when I travel!

Hope this blog helped you “last-minute” shoppers out there!

The best part of being a personal stylist is seeing your client glow, when they walk out of the dressing room in a new look (that they wouldn’t usually pick for themself). I had to share these pictures because I had so much fun with a new client last week!

This client was looking for new work wear looks as; well as casual weekend looks! We shopped at various stores in Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall and had so much fun doing it. If you are looking for a unique gift for the person that has everything, a personal shopper is the way to go! Some of my clients like to come to the mall and try the items on and some like me to purchase the clothing and take it to their home; it truly all depends on the clients needs! 🙂

Happy Friday and Style On Ladies and Gentlemen!

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!

Style on Peeps!
