Jersey Getaway + Ms. Full-Figured USA 2015

Hey Beauties,

So I've been keeping a secret from you guys. I kind of mentioned it in my last post, but I didn't really go into much detail about my big secret..lol. Well about two months ago, I was asked to be apart of the Ms. Full Figured NC Pageant Team. Of course I accepted the offer, and I am now the image consultant/stylist for the first Ms. Full Figured NC Pageant. I am beyond excited to be able to share my fashion perspective and expertise with these beautiful young ladies. For these pass two months, we have went through the interest meeting and auditions for the pageant, and the delegates have been chosen. This pass weekend, I had the chance to attend the Ms. Full Figured USA 2015 Pageant in Newark, New Jersey, along with the NC pageant director and some of the chosen delegates. It was an awesome experience to see all the beautiful women and their family/supporters rooting for them to be crowned queen. It was also amazing to see what's to come for the Ms. Full Figured NC delegates in their journey to become the first Ms. Full Figured NC 2015.We have about five months before "pageant day",  I will try to keep you posted on my journey as the image consultant for the Ms. Full Figured NC Pageant. Also, I caught an amazing sale on Rue107.com and decided to be a #ruebabe for the weekend...lol, here are the highlights from my amazing weekend getaway. Enjoy!

The Reality Show

Hey Dolls,

So around mid-February, I had gotten wind that Jazmine Sullivan-- the amazing, talented, R&B artist-- was coming to NC. I've always been into her music, and her new album Reality Show, has been on repeat since I got it. Since I haven't been to an actual concert in ages, this was my perfect excuse for a weekend getaway. Also during my getaway, I had a chance to eat some amazing food from Pisces Sushi Bar & Lounge and Mert's Heart & Soul. And I also hit the streets checking out the local nightlife by going to Club Label. Here's the STYLE STORY of my weekend getaway.

Chic in the City

Hey Beauties,
I want to take my blog to the next level and do some physical styling for you. Last week I took a trip to It's Fashion, if your unfamiliar with this franchise it a women's apparel store very similar to Rainbow. While browsing through the racks I came across this printed shift dress. The pattern and vibrant colors caught my eye by first glance and then my heart indulged. I figured this would be a great piece to express my style perspective. Pairing the shift dress with black accessories allowed this dress to truly shine.

Purse: ALDO
