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.

Christian Dior. A name that is thought of as legend in fashion. So it was no shock when I saw their new campaign featuring the stunning and funny actress Jennifer Lawrence as “Miss Dior.”

BRAVO to the creative and production team that put this shoot together because they hit all the right points in my eyes. From the simplicity of the makeup to the volume of her hair. It was the perfect touches that made this campaign memorable for Spring 2014. From the plain backdrop to the black and white photos, everything was in perfect alignment for this “spring loving,” shoot!

It’s insane to think that 2013 is officially over; what a wonderful and blessed year it has been. My personal stylist business has grown in so many ways and I am lucky to have such amazing clients by my side. It has been so rewarding helping my clients and see their inner style shine. I am so blessed to be able to do what I love and bring happiness to the people that I work with <3

new years

This New Year’s Eve my husband and I kept it pretty low and went to one of our favorite restaurants, “Nook Kitchen.” It was a Gatsby themed party (hence the attire) we had great company and amazing food! Happy New Year 2014!!!! Can’t wait to see what this year has in store 🙂

To start off this holiday season my girlfriends and I went to the Nutcracker at the Phoenix Symphony. As I got to my seat I loved seeing all of the women in the audience dressed to the nine in their elegant winter wear. I kept it simple with a French Connection wrap dress (2 years old) and knee high black boots. I wanted to add some of my favorite scenes from the ballet….surprisingly the rats were probably my favorite (yes I know I am weird but they were hilarious).

My next event was at my client’s holiday party at the beautiful JW Marriott Desert Ridge . This was a work party so I wanted to keep it professional and not too flashy 🙂 This dress was given to me by one of my girlfriends; she got it from Dillards. I paired this dress with black tights, Gianni Bini boots and a statement piece necklace from White House Black Market (similar). My beautiful mom was my date for the night and she looked stunning in red <3

This was our second year attending the Go Daddy Holiday party and again it was a HUGE success! Not only did we get to eat amazing food but we got to see Kei$ha and Snoop Dog live! The party was held at Chase Field so that means that I had to dress extra warm. I wore a gold tight fitting dress (borrowed from my girlfriend) with a tailored black blazer from Marciano, blackout tights and black satin stilettos from Steve Madden (3 years old). Mat (my husband) looked handsome in his black and white suit and tie (minus the jacket) for a more casual look. Pablo (our dog) also got a little cameo in the picture above 🙂

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.
