HELP SOMEONE TODAY

Being from Texas I know all too well what it's like for a highly publicized storm to pass. And with that I feel I must pass this info along...

Painting the Town PINK

With October coming to a QUICK close I figured I’d share all the PINK goodness from www.facebook.com/sideofstyle. My aunt is currently battling breast cancer and I had the opportunity to style her in PINK. Good to know those few hours we shared during her styling session took her mind off her breast cancer battle and upcoming chemotherapy appointments. Thanks again Nakeya and Fallon for assisting with making October 20th a great day for Aunt Margaret! Those with cancer you are ALWAYS in my thoughts and prayers. ALWAYS.

Full Figure Friday (The First Batch)

A www.nice.onsugar.com reader My sister asked if I'll prepare FALL sample plates for plus size ladies that would much rather wear a flat shoe. More on the way...

Plus Size Surprise

The plus size ads are WINNING this Fall...NORDSTROM'S was so right for this look! *Read the note in the ad and plans to apply it to my life*

Playing Catch Up

Glad I'm over this yucky stomach virus that has been crawling around the Houston area...I almost thought I wasn't going to see yall again. I mean...I don't see yall but you get it right? *BLANKSTARE*

So today I'm playing catch up (catching up on all that fabulousness out there) and Chrisette Michele's promo pic stopped me in my tracks...that look is SIMPLY AMAZING! Her eye-wear reminds me of a photo I came across on Tumblr months ago and I've been holding that photo hostage in my computer for NO REASON (photo after Chrisette's loveliness). Love a lively pair of frames; Go Chrisette! 

<--------Saved in my computer for NO REASON other than them being super duper fly!

Throwback Thursday: 2010 Again

"Here they go with this THROWBACK THURSDAY #TBT mess." said Someone on today...I'm sure LOL!

With TBT I'm able to look back on some fun and productive projects that took place with some really cool people. It's a reflection on blessings to say the least.

The concept behind the shoot (photos below) was given to me by the Photographer/Creative Director: one tone, no accessories, and a pair of heels. The red "X" covers the face to symbolize how "THE INDUSTRY" seems to look pass the unknown or younger models and photographers these days. And in some cases that's where a lot of RAW and needed talent resides in my opinion. The teen model and the young photographer's drives were impressive and I'll forever salute them for this concept. Less is more BUT NOT WHEN IT COMES TO COLLABING WITH THE UNKNOWN/YOUTH/YOUNG ADULTS...this is still one my favorite wardrobe styling concepts to date.

Beckon the Usher

This editorial, for TANK MAGAZINE, touched my stlye-li-fied soul...if that license plate would've said TEXAS I would've had to GET UP OUT this chair.

*I need a CHURCH FAN*

Not Your Granny's TARGET

I can hear my granny now…”I was in Targets the other day and the m***erf***ers done got too high! I was in there with so-and-so and they had the nerves to have a dress in there for $60.00!!! I ain’t going back…it’ll be WALMART from now on!!!”. But considering the fact that Neiman Marcus and CFDA Designers have linked with Target (More info HERE) for the holidays a $60.00 dress from a top designer isn’t too bad…but of course my little cussing granny will NEVER understand that. However, if you understand it and want to see more of the pieces that will be available during the holidays click HERE.

Items that caught my eye and touched my soul:

P.S. I'm beyond ready for her return:

Hey Young World

For the last couple of weeks youngins’ have contacted SIDE OF STYLE more than anything…requesting personal outfits to looks for SPIRIT WEEK! For Spirit Week, at local high schools, I’ve been pulling and prepping outfits for teenagers who’ve contacted SIDE OF STYLE requesting 1980s/1990s looks for DECADE DAY, NERD DAY, and  CELEBRITY DAY. I’m so honored to be apart of their festivities! Below are photos of pieces I delivered and made 16 year olds squeal LOL…and my niece (WHO’S ALWAYS IN MY WAY INSTEAD OF ASSISTING DURING AN OUTFIT PULL AND PREP!) playing dress up for her Instagram flicks. I just had to highlight the young clients (THE FUTURE)…I appreciate the love!
