  • It Has Pockets?! Just asking…

    It Has Pockets?! Just asking…

    This girl right here loves her a good pocket!  Who else is with me?!  And by “good pocket” I mean one that fits two basic requirements.

     Requirement number 1 – it has to be a working pocket.  I never have nor never will I understand the point of having fake pockets that are either sewn shut or those that have the little slit as if a pocket exists.  What’s the use if it won’t hold my phone or chapstick?!

    Requirement number 2 – is that it must be properly placed.  That means no pocket right on the side of my hip that makes my hips look 2 inches wider.  There’s nothing wrong with curves but don’t give me any that don’t belong to me.  I have enough!  Proper placement would be if it were higher above your hips and a bit towards the front to help with that whole hourglass figure we all love.

    I was reminded of my need for proper pockets earlier this week when I was headed to a business lunch.  After getting dressed, I headed down the stairs with shoes, a bag, hairbrush and lipstick in tow.  When I finally walked outside and turned around to lock the door I realized that I could free up my hands to lock it when I slide my phone and lipstick in my pockets.  “Wait a minute, this skirt has pockets?” I thought.  Before heading to the luncheon, I took a moment to take some quick shots of my new favorite skirt.  Check out how the Just Asking Skirt answered my pocket prayers . 😉

    Fearless Woman: Sally Holden

    Happy Fearless Woman Friday 💙

    I am excited to introduce you to Sally Holden.  In 2008, Sally found herself feeling completely lost.  During this time she experienced such difficulties as struggling to support her two daughters as a single mother making $300 per week to grieving the loss of her mother.

    Fast forward to 2017 and Sally lives comfortably with the six figure income she built.  You might find her cliff hang gliding, supporting her clients as a life coach, running a triathlon, empowering her daughters or working at her new Kinesiology clinic.  Wondering how she completely changed things around?  I’ll let her give you the deets on her fearless life in this weeks’ episode of Fearless Woman.  Let the inspiration begin!

     

    To keep up with Sally, you can check out her website www.sallyholden.com.au or find her on FB @sally.holden3.  Leave a comment and let me know what inspired you bout her story.

  • Don’t Kill Your Vibe By Wearing Neckwear With This…

    I love a good accessory like the next person.  In fact, you can’t stop me from rocking a good statement necklace.  But there is nothing like wearing something that requires nothing but shoes and maybe a bag.  Let me take that back, every outfit requires a bag!

    There are certain garments though, that you wouldn’t dare kill by wearing it with a necklace, choker, or any other type of neckwear for that matter.  Simply, because it just wouldn’t work with your outfit.  Maybe the embroidered dress with the gold chains looks too busy or maybe that velvet choker isn’t quite right with that top.  As fun as fashion can be, who has time to deal with all of those questions?  Sometimes a girl just needs something that she can throw on and rush out.  Isn’t it refreshing to know that you don’t always have to find the perfect décolletage accessory before running out the door?  Check out the these non-vibe killing outfits that you wouldn’t dare wear neckwear with.  You’re welcome by the way. 😌

    Fearless Woman: Laura Naomi

    Happy Fearless Woman Fridays 💙

    Today I am happy to introduce you to our Fearless Woman this week, Laura Naomi. When Laura contacted me about her story, the first question that I asked her was, “Why would you call yourself fearless?” Her answer was, “I have been called fearless by others and in those moments of fearlessness it didn’t feel that way to me. I was just simply following a calling and that calling was something deep inside me and I felt it in my whole heart. I have done things that possibly a lot of people haven’t or wouldn’t.” After hearing that, I knew not only did I need to know more about her but you did too. Listen to Lauras’ fearless story…

  • Reasons You NEED A Turtleneck + Turtleneck Fun Facts

    Turtlenecks are great especially for this time of year.  But they seem to have a shaky reputation, would you agree?  Think about it, how often have you seen this garment on a must have list or as a top stylist pick?   When was the last time you overheard a co-worker say, “I really need to get me a turtleneck”.  Sadly, turtlenecks are often passed over on the clothing racks and retail tables.  But just because this garment is forgotten about by some, doesn’t take away from the fact that it is a true closet staple.  Take a look at our list of reasons why a turtleneck should be getting their just due in the fashion world.  Plus, fun facts to support them!

    Turtlenecks are internationally stylish. 

    boutiqueshop
    Fun Fact:  Asking, “Where are your turtlenecks?” to a boutique clerk in certain areas is useless.  The United Kingdom refer to them as polo necks while Australians call them skivvies.
    Turtlenecks are a classic that has endured the changes of style for centuries.
    blackshortsleeveturtleneck
    Fun Fact: Though the origin of the turtleneck dates back to around the 15th century, they become popular during the late 1900s.  Originally worn by people who were thought to work unskilled jobs like soldiers and officers.  However in the 20th century, more intellectuals who were artists and philosophers started to rock them.
    A Black Turtleneck is for the bad girl not the basic.  
    badgirlsmoking.jpg
    Fun Fact:  In the 50s, wearing a black turtleneck became a way to show off your rebellious and independent side.  For example, a fearless fashionista would wear a black turtleneck to a formal event rather than a black tie.  
    Turtlenecks are versatile.
    girlwearingturtleneck.jpg
    Fun Fact:  Women in the 1950s really feminized turtleneck styles by pairing it with full skirts, bedazzled jewelry and other girly trends.
    Turtlenecks can be sexier than a cleavage baring top.
    girlwearinggrayturrtleneck.jpg
    Fun Facts:  These days wearing something that makes you appear naked, is the look some aim to achieve.  We see so much sin on social media and tv that we can become desensitized to it.  But choosing a turtleneck over a top that leaves nothing to the imagination can change your fashion game.  Your lady lumps can still be on display but in a more modest way.  Modesty can be a real head turner, nowadays.
    Love it or leave it, the turtleneck is here to stay!  Are you a fan of the turtleneck?

  • 7 Styles To Shop For In Fall/Winter ’16

    7 Styles To Shop For In Fall/Winter ’16

    Fall officially started a few weeks back.  But you can’t tell some of us that because we are still enjoying warm, sunny days, denim cutoffs and time by the pool.

    Depending on where you reside, a leather moto jacket will comfortably keep you warm. Or you may find yourself in need of some serious gear to protect you against Mother Nature.  No matter which storm is headed your way, now is a better time than any to make sure you are stylish for its arrival.

    Check out these 7 styles to shop for that will help you to fashionably, fight, fierce colder temps in Fall/Winter ’16…

    1. Let Your Shoulder Lean

     You can continue to rock cutout styles as the weather changes.  Thank goodness for that.  Make the look cold weather ready by going with long sleeves.

    2.  Velvet, Suede, Leather, oh my…

    Fringe Choker
    All Wrapped Up Skirt
    Don’t Rust Me Flares

    One of my personal favorites about colder temps is the ability to wear other textures.  Suede, leather, velvet and other thicker materials don’t get to really play during the Summer.  Everything from suede flares to velvet skirts, leather gloves and more.  Fall is definitely the time to experiment with different fabrics.

    3.  Rock the Trench

    A trench coat is one of the best combinations of chic and flattering when it comes to outerwear.  The belt creates a defined waist and the bottom slightly flares out.  Thus, showing off the hourglass you’re hiding underneath.  🙌

    4.  Show your military support.

    Military -inspired styles will be all over the place this Fall & Winter.  Rock it and prepare to be saluted like a fashion solider.

    5.  Something mint, something blue…

    These sorbert colors are usually in abundance during the Spring/Summer but don’t let that stray you.  Pairing these light, girly colors with dark, edgy colors is the color palette for Fall/Winer ’16.

    6.  Luxe Outerwear 

    Stylish outerwear is of the upmost importance during Fall/Winter seasons for obvious reasons.  Since it will probably be seen alot more that your outfit, make sure to select one that makes you feel great

    7.  Wrap Up In Wool

    Will Wool Off The Shoulder Top

    Wool will effectively keep you warm, for sure.  But that doesn’t mean wearing a hot, chunky cable knit sweater.  This two piece wool set is a great example of just how fly wool can be.

    Which is your favorite?

  • Why Hello There Beauty #Girlbosses Interview

    Why Hello There Beauty #Girlbosses Interview

    I had the honor of being interviewed by Emily Crawford on, Why Hello Beauty,  which is an Australian-based beauty and lifestyle blog.  They have a #girlboss series which features women who are business owners to see what it’s like to walk in their shoes everyday.

    As a fashion entrepreneur, I wear many hats.  (Which doesn’t bother me, as long as they match with my outfit!)  But running a boutique,  writing and contributing to fashion editorials, runway shows and more can make for quite a bumpy ride.  Admittedly, coffee and champagne certainly helps to make it alot smoother!  😉

    So, of course, I was more than happy to oblige when I was asked to quickly give a lil’ more insight into what my day to day life is like.

    Irun Kiko: The Art Of Hair

    On Thursday, I had the pleasure of attending a pop-up fashion presentation entitled, Irun Kiko: The Art Of Hair, which was held at a contemporary arts complex in San Antonio called the, Brick @ Blue Star.  The event was given by Be Fashionable Sa.
