Stying via Polyvore

Hello my fashion family! Summer is knocking on my door and I've thrown it open, welcoming it warmly. I'm moving next month so I'm very excited about this summer! Tell me about what you guys have planned...At any rate, as some of you know, I'm an aspiring stylist. I get a lot of practice creating sets on Polyvore.com; if you haven't heard of it I really recommend it for styling purposes and also shopping! Here are some sets I made. A lot of them were made for my mother who needed some changes to her wardrobe. Enjoy, get inspired, critique me, give suggestions, I'm open it all!

 'Get The London Look'

Inspired my new found London obsession.

'Edgy Prepster'

'Noel'

'Starry Night'

'The last of the Spring Nights'

'Way to Be Fierce'

'Reflections of a Happy Home'

My new apartment will have a modern feel with a few small, but key antique pieces and will be built around the theme of reflections which means mirrors, mirrors, mirrors! Really love the abstract pieces

A Glamour Roar

So, today was bittersweet. I spent the day with my mom & son in downtown Royal Oak.

It was a beautiful day in Michigan. Sun shining. A subtle wind. Nice 67 temperature...It was a great forecast for my agenda. However, the weather forecast didn't quite match my success forecast. I went to several boutiques looking to pull looks for a client as well as an upcoming shoot I'm styling. We saw some amazing pieces. However, none of the boutiques were willing to lend us anything due to previous damages. I thought to myself: "Why would I bring back a damaged garment without paying?" I also thought: "Instead of ruling out EVERYONE because of a past experience, why not just draw up a contract and require a deposit?". I'm a seventeen year old mother and college student. How can I afford to buy for all these looks? I'm going to have a hard enough time getting fabric for my design classes in January. Smh. It's discouraging. But by any means necessary, I will keep pushing forward! I've gotta start somewhere. So here's what I wore today!
