Let's chat - topic of discussion: July Agenda

HELLOOOOO JULY! Well, it's the start of a new month which means summer is officially in full swing (just in case you we unaware). So to start off this month let's see what's on this month's agenda shall we?! 

First off: The Fashion Memo: a series of a pre fall looks and inspirations 

This series will include a collection of my picks for pre fall lust/must items that are a mix of items that I have in my own closet (the 'must' part) as well as some of my favorite high end fashion items that are setting the pace for this seasons fashion trends (the 'lust' part)

Second: Shopper's Anonymous - my how to guide of avoiding "shopper's remorse" 

This series includes my two cents on what to splurge on and what to save on and how to shop a sale the right/ strategic way (take my word I'm really really good at shopping and I am especially good at sale shopping) 

Third: I've officially branded myself as a content creator, brand strategist, and social media/ marketing consultant in addition to fashion stylist and jewelry designer -- wowee that was a mouthful ,I may have trouble fitting that all on a business card - but the point is your wish is my command! I haven't quite decided if I am going to link my service website to this blog yet or set up a brand new website -but have no fear it is definitely in the works and should be up and running by the end of the month! YIPEE! More info on my brand Con-Cepts is coming soon so be sure to look out for that! But for now to quench your thirst you can check out my temporary portfolio CLICK HERE!

That's all for now beautiful human beings of the internet (promo plug for Lauren Elizabeth) 

Self Promo plug as if this blog isn't enough - I have to say follow me on social medias because if I didn't I wouldn't be a true marketer/ branding consultant (el oh el!)

Fashion Toast? - My Fashion Memo

A question a lot of people ask me is where do I get my style from - and in answering that I always say from a pool of different inspirations. Believe it or not, I find a lot of my inspiration just from random people walking down the street! I combine their inspirations with the classic taste that my mum and grandmother embody and of course I always put my own touch on it as well. I never try to exclude myself from different styles, colors, or patterns because you really never how something is going to look until you try it, which sounds so blah cliche but it really is true. If all else fails- whenever I am feeling stuck or need some new inspiration I take a scroll through my tumblr feed (which you can peep in the 'inspiration' tab)! Believe it or not I find a TON of fashion, home, and life inspiration on there and it really just helps me build and create my true aesthetic. So there ya have it - "fashion toast" or fashion wisdom from me! 

Lets go to the beach-each

When in doubt speak in song lyrics - I thought none other than Nicki Minaj would be appropriate for this occasion because I did in fact go to the beach - with my mum this past weekend. Despite the monsoon that took place two days out of the three it was a great weekend (el oh el). No but really, it was a nice little getaway from work and normal life, sometimes you gotta just take some time to get some sand in between your toes folks!

Minimalist Moods

For once there were no little munchkins running around the life-size chess board so I took advantage of the opportunity and snapped a pic! To me there is nothing chic-er than black and white and the way those colors are so minimalist in style but hold so much versatility and style with minimal effort - and to me that is what fashion is all about: versatility, effortlessness, and minimalist
