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!

Falling for Fall...

Hey Dolls,
I know already know what you guys are thinking. I've been on another hideous, but honestly speaking I'm back in school and I've just be really focused on that. I try to find time to get dolled up and hit the streets between homework and classes. I also love the colder months, and we all know I love fashion so to me its perfect timing. I do have a couple of "Outfits of the Night" that I have to do a style story for so I'm going to start with the most recent. This past weekend I went out an grab a couple of drinks and I wanted to be comfortable and also chic and classy.
