STYLING AND PROFILING

Model Monday: Monti

*I know I know  it's Tuesday but, in error,  I didn't upload the article from my drafts until today and I wasn't about to re-title*
Words cannot express how I feel when I’m able to be apart of ANYONE’S journey in a positive way. Doesn’t have to be a celebrity or a person of status for me to feel I have arrived. It could be an unknown young lady with a dream…like Monti. I spotted Monti in 2009 while searching for a model to style/shoot. Although she didn’t have a portfolio stocked full of flawless work---there was just something about her and I had to have her apart of my projects! A few years ago Monti moved to California to further perfect her craft and she’s been in music videos, indie designers/beauty/boutiques look books, projects with Nick Canon, and she still references me when she speaks of her start at modeling (as shown below). Last week she visited home, here in Houston, and although the shoot we planned didn’t go as planned it was still good to hangout and I saw her growth and determination first hand.
Monti is the perfect picture of:


 Below are some of the comments that led me to know I have, I am, and I will continue to be of style help and assistance to women from all walks of life. Followed by a photo of Monti’s first test shoot with SIDE OF STYLE, a SIDE OF STYLE look book shoot featuring Monti, her more recent look book work, and HER WORK!
Love you Monti; stay encouraged!










WATCH HER WORK!!!

Paint the Town PINK

--A N.I.C.E. post for HOUSTON and surrounding areas--

Recently SIDE OF STYLE was invited to be apart of PINK (Victoria's Secret) opening its first stand alone store in The Woodlands and to interview Victoria’s Secret’s Angel Elsa Hosk. Due to a family emergency I could not attend the event (and with that I’m currently searching for SIDE OF STYLE stand by team members to make events like this when I can’t *winks*). But the good folks, who invited SIDE OF STYLE, were kind enough to send photos from the event. If you’re in/near The Woodlands I’m sure you’ll stop in PINK for your usual goodies, and I can’t wait to take my niece for a visit to pick up our usual PINK goodies! (“Usual” is used because it’s like who owns a PINK item and doesn't end up going back for more? LOL)

And before I go I must say Elsa Hosk is a true beauty; Thanks again for the invite/photos Milan!
