PASTEL WITH A SIDE OF STYLE...

Easter has came and went...and...yea I'm still on pastels! Haven't seen too many pastel hues this season but be aware THEY'RE OUT THERE!

!!!GIVEAWAY ALERT!!! WITH A SIDE OF STYLE...

I can't thank the good folks over at MJRoyPR enough for thinking enough of my heart, SIDE OF STYLE , to represent it in a way that I cannot. I have no children but it has to be like watching someone take your child in and loving that child almost as much as you do! I was so moved by the write up MJRoyPR did in regards to SIDE OF STYLE'S latest giveaway and I'm hoping and praying that folks in the Houston area are moved enough to pass the word!

JEWELRY BOX ACCESSORIES WITH A SIDE OF STYLE...

(EDIT: HOPE THE PHOTOS ARE SHOWING FULLY NOW! THANKS AGAIN FOR LETTING ME KNOW REIKO!)

Back in September I blogged about SIDE OF STYLE client Nikki and how I took notice of her style game and her ability to out shine a chic that wears a size 3 (Click here to read: The Houston Accessory Designer). And, as I mentioned in my last blog write up, I had the opportunity of styling Nikki this past weekend and when I say she conquered EVERY LOOK I'd pulled for her! More photos from her shoot will be added throughout the day...click here to see JEWELRY BOX ACCESSORIES WITH A SIDE OF STYLE!  

SIZE WITH A SIDE OF STYLE...

 This past Saturday I had a ball during a styling session with a Realtor (1st photo below) and on Sunday I had the pleasure of styling a photo shoot for an Accessory Designer (2nd photo below). Over the last few weeks, while pulling pieces for both clients, I was sooooo excited because neither female was the size 2-4-6-8 that I'd been pulling looks for recently! These females were a size WOMAN. I enjoyed pulling the looks so much that I decided to create a SIDE OF STYLE "WOMAN SIZE" Facebook album (aside from the usual albums I post work in, more photos will be posted HERE soon). The thing I love most about "style" is that it comes in any HEIGHT, SHAPE, or SIZE...isn't that a beautiful thing?!?
(More SIDE OF STYLE photo albums to inspire the fuller figure can be viewed HERE and HERE )

THE HOUSTON HONEY...

I blame Reiko (God's Favorite Shoes ) for this Solange post! LOL It's like I caught the Solange style virus and she induced it by sending me the goodies below from The YBF . The boho dress and leopard sandals = SO ON POINT! Keep it coming SOLANGE and THANKS REIKO ;-)
Check out more images here: The YBF 

3 WORDS: IT'S THE WEEKEND!!!

ENJOY!

Stay far from average ;-)

HOUSTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE x 30 YEARS OF STYLE...

Below is a video, from last year, featuring an exhibit showcasing "30 YEARS OF STYLE"(1980 to Now)...yes indeed! The exhibit was showcased last Spring/Summer at Houston Community College/Lifestyle Arts and Design Careers Division in honor of a staff member retiring after 30 years of working in the fashion/design field. I can listen to Freddy Saucedo, HCC Fashion Design Student, talk about fashion ALL DAY...he's so in depth with it! Kay King, Division Chair, gave me all the details of this year's exhibit and I'll be sure to post the info here in the future!

THE AUSTIN TRUNK SHOW...

HIGH YELLOW WITH A SIDE OF STYLE...

Below I blogged about a HIGH YELLOW skirt and Solange...I also mentioned that I'd pieced together looks with the HIGH YELLOW skirt and would post those looks in SIDE OF STYLE'S Mommies, Models, Managers, and Mavens album...below is the model set, please feel free to click HERE to view 1 skirt 4 looks!

HIGH YELLOW and SOLANGE...

Last night I spotted the lovely HIGH YELLOW skirt below...in case I haven't mentioned YELLOW IS MY FAVORITE COLOR! Once I laid eyes on the skirt I instantly went into MOMMIES, MODELS, MANAGERS, AND MAVENS mode and styled this 1 skirt 4 ways. The end result will be posted in the photo album, CLICK HERE TO VIEW , later on today. THEN I was reading a natural hair blog and spotted Solange in what appeared to be the same HIGH YELLOW skirt (oh the skirt I posted below is by Tibi, click HERE for a closer look)...and Solange is rocking it oh so well! I know-I know I need to quit jocking Solange's style but I SURE WON'T and I SURE WANT!
Stay far from average ;-)
