Valli's strut down the runway in their 50's inspired fall couture made me feel obligated to share with the world! I have a slight obsession with the vintage-50's feel of the way clothes fall ever so elegant on the female body. And I must say Valli has captured this to a T. What do you all think? Check out the link below! Work Wardrobe (aka free clothes 😁) Ps: Don't mind the mirror. Lol Shirt : French Connection Blazer : French Comnection Skirt : French Connection Booties : Target This is the outfit I wore while I was at work today. The dress is from French Connection, and the shoes are by the brand Qupid. I purchased from a thrift store on Westhiemer Rd. (I know there's a lot but I just can't remember which one it is. Lol) My jewelry is a mix of Fossil and H&M ☺️ This outfit I chose to wear out. If anyone knows me you know the less clothes the better! So combined that with something that covered the bottom but still maintained a girlish form for the baggy top. The top was found at a thrift store and cut. The skirt is from Forever 21, and the shoes are from Charlotte Russe. The jewelry is the same as what I was wearing with my OOTD look. "We will forever be surrounded by a sea of negativity. The strongest find the positive raft and are able to make their way slowly, but surely, back to the surface of their dreams. There will be a million singers, rappers, producers, artists, mua's, hairstylist, wardrobe stylist, photographers, models, designers, business owners, pr reps, managers, professional ball players, trainers, ext. But only a few find the stairs of success on that island of dreams." -Davy Photo :: Interview Magazine w/ cover and spread of Marion Cotillard 😍 #marioncotillard Guess who's back?!?! And with a brand new obsession! His name? ...... Rami Kadi 😍 I saw this picture and died a healthy fashion death (yea it might not make sense but that's what happened, don't judge!) Rami Kadi is a Lebanese designer who has made his way to haute couture with his amazing vintage inspired pieces. His love for art and design radiates throughout every dress that he creates. Known for his bridal gowns, Kadi also has an arey of formal gowns and evening dresses that can be simply termed as astonishing! WHEW! I can go on about this man for DAYS! I honestly believe that I have found my new spotlight designer. He captures every aspect of my inspired love for fashion, art, and design. ALL IN ONE! What a man huh ladies?! Lol Only an artistic fashion angel sent straight from the fashion gods themselves can take lace and properly place it along the sillouette of the body. Turning what could be perceived as a risqué pattern, (which we all know lace has tendancy of being..), into a breath taking masterpiece. Those that know me know I am inspired and In whole hearted love with vintage fashion and vintage inspired couture. So just be prepared to hear a lot about it....and a lot about Mr. Rami Kadi 😍! Until next time! #happystyling ✌️ FINALLY!! The weather has made a change!! I'm so happy yet so unprepared 😰! Every winter I find myself never having enough cold ready clothing. (You would think year after year I would catch on an go buy something right?) well clearly what I want to do and what I can do are two totally different things. NONTHELESS!!! I'm a typical girl, so ima do what any other fashion hearted typical girl would do.....torture ourselves with online "I'm just looking" shopping and Pinterest! I must say though, this can sum up a few things that I am fully stocked on!! (Oh, have I not mentioned a few times now how much I love scarves and beanies?!) OH!! And let's introduce how much I love oversized cardigans!❤️!! Their so comfy! I'm ready to light my fireplace with my hot chocolate and snuggle with Peanut 😻 Until the next segment of Winter Essentials.... #happystyling 😊 I fell in love when I saw this dress. Scratch that....the entire outfit GEEZ!! From the hat to the dress itself who can say no?! If you can...then YOUR CRAZY!! No but seriously, vintage as we all know has been hitting the scene fairly hard. And this piece just adds to the simple fact that not too much needs to be done when vintage is the topic of styling conversations. Until next time! #happystyling ✌️ So I threw together this denim on denim outfit for an interview I had. Now, I was never a big fan of two denims together but once together I must say it was quite chic 😉. Check out these other denim on denim fits! **all photo cred: Pinterest** Until next time! #happystyling ✌️ This website here I am in love with! And I'm sharing this with you guys because I love you all....so your welcome! Lol But fashionista.com is a great website with loads of fashion knowledge and information for just about anyone. I initially went on that site to look for fashion schools around the globe, and ending up subscribing because....well....it's AMAZING! Not only do they tell you about fashion school information and internships (which again they tell you about global happenings and very detailed at that), but they also keep you up to speed on what's going on in the fashion industry period. From fashion shows, to magazines they definitely keep you in the loop. But in any case, this particular article spoke to every bit of my soul!! For one: Tom Ford?! Are you kidding me?!?! Umm...YES! For two: he's giving advice to little ol us on how to make it in the industry?!?! Ummm....double....NO....TRIPLE YES!!! The excitement overcame me guys!!! Seriously!! Being on this journey of owing my own business, especially in the fashion industry, this.....this will become a snippet of what I live by from now on! If you get the time to read it, I recommend this wise, humble mans words for anyone that is trying to achieve any type of success, not just fashion success, cause his words can be taken to heart by anyone on any venture! Take a gander. Love like I do. Learn like I have! Until next time! #happystyling ✌️ Good golly miss Molly! These babies are too adorable! And check out there headgear! WOW! I just can't get enough of this new generation of fashion forward babies! (Well I guess it would be fashion forward parents huh? 😕 lol) Anyway, if your a parent and are wondering how you can make your child just as stylish as yourself....look no further than the Instagram page of @kidzootd There posts will have you catching some serious baby fever!! Until next time! #happystyling ✌️ ....at least for DStyles it is (yes so sad that I had to refer to myself in third person). So of course with the fashion growing here in Houston it's only right that they have a fashion week......oh 3rd annual you say? Hmm.....and I knew nothing of this amazing venture?!?! UHHHH!!!! 😡😡😡 very angry with myself you guys. But nevertheless, fashion doesn't harp so neither can I!! Now I just know that I must properly educate myself on every area of my living existence with the fashion world that I am lacking!! Soooo, on this quest for couture greatness I have been up since 8:30am following necessary people on the Houston fashion scene (blogs, social networks, ext.); also I have made it my mission to find and write down all of the "big 4" fashion weeks and their dates. !Mission Completed! In case some of you don't know, the Big Four include: New York, London, Milan, and Paris (in that order) Their month begins on February 6th and goes until March 5th. Now that were in the era of technology all of these lovely events (that most are by invitation only, or press and buyers access only 😒) can be watched from the comfort of your own pj's and couch. Sound great right?!?! Well sadly that's not enough for me. For my pockets maybe, but not for me!! If your feeling like me no need to worry! Fashion week show cases another month September-October (dates to be posted soon) so just save your money (like I plan on doing) and make it your vaca getaway! Plus who wouldn't love gazing at gorgeous lines while their on vacation. I know I would! Until next time! #happystyling ✌️ There has been plenty of heated debate on what is indeed considered style and what is just something that is cute for the current time or season (ie: trend). Upon starting my stylist journey I was skeptical about taking my creativity to the next level because I was afraid that people wouldn't take hold to my sense of trend. But I had to step back and realize, EVERYONE has a sense of trend. We see it daily!! Tight w/ tight, tight w/ baggy, cropped, cut, plaid patterns, skully w/ gold chains, peplum, the list is literally endless! But placing these items together doesn't make you stylish, instead you are trendy. Not saying that there is anything wrong with trend, by any means (cause let's face it.....we all follow trend to some extent) but I just don't want to hear another trendy individual say that they have style. No, you have trend, there is a difference. GRANTED, style is what you as an individual make it, but there is, in my opinion trendy style and stylish style. To me, trendy style has no longevity. Why? Because you all look the same!! You don't think eventually your going to get tired of looking like the girl or guy that just walked in behind you? I know I would! Personally, for example, I love Forever 21 and H&M 😍! But I don't shop there too often.....for good reason. I have a phobia (literally, I don't care how childish that makes me) of walking into a restaurant, classroom, club, ext., and some chick(s) have on the EXACT SAME OUTFIT AS I DO!! It's going to drive me crazy the entire night!! So I monitor how often I shop at those stores. OR! The fact that I am a stylist, 😏, I take the outfit or piece of clothing and place it in a "outfit setting" to some degree that you simps would've never thought to wear it in. Was that too rude....? 😕 well if so....I can't apologize. Sorry....but I'm not sorry. I just get really irritated with false claiming, half-assing, non-passionate "stylist". YOUR TAINTING WHAT IM TRYING TO CREATE!!! MOVE!!! 🚨🚄💨‼️ There's reasons why I'm still humble, cause I'm still learning. Go learn, trendist, before you start labeling yourselves. PLEASE!! Geez! It's annoying when those who are really passionate are getting over shadowed and over looked because some fakes have stepped on the scene with their muddy boots. TUH! ✋😑 But ok, (I had to rant, my bad guys, it's just been bothering me lately 😠!), I've snapped back now. Lol Either way, just know that by you throwing on a few brand name things doesn't make you stylish. True style is crafted and is timely placed upon your body, and showcased to everyone to show "I don't care, cause this is ME" <-- not me for the day, not me for the year, or me for the season, but TRULY ME! Again, it always goes back to education. If you don't educate yourself on fashion you will forever fall subject to seeing trend as lasting forever, when we all know it does not! Hope I taught someone today, or offended you in anyway, cause either way you grasped the concept 😕....lol! #happystyling ✌️ HELLO LADIES AND GENTS! I hope everyone's days is as stylish and fabulous as you all are! GREAT NEWS! So I have been making many silent moves on my business endeavors. I feel that maybe it's time to let my loyal readers in on some of them! (Plus I've gone M.I.A again and I feel like you all deserve a proper reason. Lol) Well I, DStyles, have been in the works of transforming my ideas into a touchable reality (yes I'm putting it into riddle form to see if you all can get it 😉). For this, I have taken out the "Artistic" portion of my blog because copyrighting is in the works. 😁. See.....I told you all BIG moves are being made with the RIGHT people! I've overcome many obsticals (mine and others) to get to this comfortable hustling spot that I am in. I've been also meeting with some humbly wonderful people and have been excited about what is being brought to the table! Guys my life can't get much more on track!! (Well it can...but you all get what I mean. Lol!) When I say 2014 is my year....it's is MY YEAR! My dreams are bigger than me and my passion equally matches that! I'm ready to take the fashion world by STORM!! Stay tuned!! #happystyling ✌️ So I figure.....why not bug y'all all day with my clothing?! I never get bored with it so y'all shouldn't either! 😝 Here is a previous ootd I never posted (I'm really bad at that actually 😕) Details with the pic! Until next time! #happystyling ✌️ So I recieved quite a bit of compliments about this outfit! So here are the details for you girls and guys. Until next time! #happystyling ✌️ This past weekend my boutique participated in Mr. DMars's birthday extravaganza/ awards ceremony/ fashion show. The event was to award the top designers, models, and mogules of Houston, TX (and surrounding areas). There were a lot of people at this event, and I was able to talk to a few people and network, but not how I would've liked to. That was the only downside to the event. But even though I was running around backstage like a wild animal backstage, I enjoyed every bit of that chaos!! Because this is something that I want to make my career, I can't complain about the opportunity that God is giving me. With school and workouts though it is taking a tole on my sleeping cause I have been nothing but exhausted lately, but I know sleep comes to those who have made it to see the end of their goals. I have barely scratched the surface, so I guess that means I won't be getting much sleep any time soon 😔 Anywho, Till next time ladies and gents! #happystyling ✌️ The season is upon us ladies! Got your leggings ready?! I know I do! (Got some on today as a matter of fact!) Leggings, tights, stockings, knee and thigh highs are always on my list of accessories to make a cute outfit more winter-y. Paired with shorts, skirts, dresses, or on lazy days (such as today for myself) an over sized sweater or shirt can take what would be a summer look into over drive! The excitement...!!!...I feel it!! BUT! Just as any other fashion season or trend there are ALWAYS rules that we ladies are entitled to follow. And I feel as though just as their are rules, there are ALWAYS rule breakers 😒. 1) I shouldn't be able to see the seam of your tights. If D can see....there too tight for you sweetie. One size doesn't always mean "I'm made for everyone". Be knowledgeable. 2) Please ladies perform the bend over test (in good lighting) before you leave the house. Some tights from a head on look can appear great......until you bend over. You never want to be that girl in which everyone can see her undies. Keep it classy. 3) Speaking of undies, ladies thongs, thongs, thongs!!! Sisco made the song for a reason!! Victoria's Secret ALWAYS has the 5 for $25 sale. Go stack up on some of those cause they come in handy. PLEASE MY EYES BEGETH OF YOU!! I DO NOT and CAN NOT STAND the evil V.P.L! Trust me...it's not just my eyes that feel this way Honestly, I feel like these are the only 3 and golden rules that women face when it comes to wearing tights/leggings. Just be mindful and careful ladies. I would hate for one of you to end up on a social site with the caption(s): "but why her leggings look faded though?" ; "she must not have real friends" ; "really....granny panties?" ; and this is just a mild sample of what my evil mind would come up with.....now just imagine the REST of Social hashtag loving America! Until next time! #happystyling ✌️ So the boutique is going to a fashion show Saturday!! This should be exciting. The troubling part of getting the models fitted is out of the way, now all we have to worry about is the actual day itself. Which I found out that yours truly will be working behind stage!! YAYY!!! Finally, another go around at being in charge of the way the show flows (model wise that is). I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that this show goes amazingly smooth. Especially with the turn out that is suppose to be there 😳. Through all the hussle and bussle I might not be able to provide you guys and gals pictures but I'm going to do my absolute best! Well, till next time! #happystyling ✌️ So yesterday I was MIA because I was in attendance of a wedding expo. There my boutique had a table and rack displaying a few of our pieces that we have at the boutique. Well it started off as a bad day because I was under the impression that it was a fashion show. So of course in my mind I'm thinking style, style, style!! But it didn't work out that way. Finding out that it was an expo limited me to what I thought I would be doing, BUT nevertheless we did have a model that I got to style every few hours. Basically she was our live mannequin. Lol. Do I have pics? You bet I do!! This will definitely be added to my portfolio! #happystyling ✌️ I am in love with kids fashion! I just can't get enough of them on Instagram either! It's like little life size dolls that you can make look just as amazing as you do! (Though don't have a baby just for that purpose...cause then that would just be a little weird 😐) But in any case, these kids know how to own every bit of style they have. And they do it oh so well! 😍 So every now and then you will see me post pictures of kids fashion.....and now you will know why. Lol #happystyling ✌️ The weather is changing! Which can only mean one thing........ITS TIME TO BRING OUT THE HEAVY ARTILLARY! (Beanies, scarves, and coats that it. Lol) Me personally I can't get enough of scarves and beanies. As far as coats 😕.....I dnt like wearing clothes so that and pants always pose a problem for my inner naked soul. But, the way my schedule is set up....I do NOT have time for the sniffles so I will have to bring my coats and sweatshirts out of storage and get them ready to strut around in. And you dont have to break your pockets to get ready for the weather change either! Scarves and hats/beanies are reusable, we all know that, and yet there so inexpensive too!! There have been a lot of scarves that I've found for under 10 bucks at H&M, target, forever 21, and even thrift stores (yes I wash them first). This same deal I find with beanies also. Example: I went to a store called Love Culture about 2 weeks ago and they had a sale on both beanies and scarves. It was buy one, get one half off on the scarves (which the scarves were already 5-10 dollars); and for the beanies they were 3.99. You can't beat that!!! Being warm for under 20 buck (cause if you throw in a jacket that's about 12-15 dollars it'll be about that much) sounds Tony to me 👍!! (Tony = GRRRRREAT! 😂....I'm childish y'all excuse me. Lol) Now everyone go out and stay warm! #happystyling ✌️ Something simple, yet something so dang cute!! 😍 plus who doesn't love purple?! Photo cred: ig @fashionaddictx0 #happystyling ✌️ |
