Hippie Here I Come
Yes more visuals. This has to be one of my favorite tables I’ve ever styled at work. Needless to say, these looks did not take long to sale. It all started with the sequence skirt …and the vision came alive!!!

Merchandising!!!
You know, or should know that I love doing visual merchandising at my job, Francesca’s Collections. These shelves were filled with colorful gifts and gadgets but had no theme….Tiane to the rescue!!!!!!
I decided to go with an animal print theme because we have sooooo many animal scarfs and a few other items.
Prices vary- if you want to purchase anything you can find a few of these items in stores or online at www.francescascollections.com

So this past Friday, me and a few of my college buddies had a chance to go to America’s Mart aka the Apparel Mart where buyers go to purchase clothes for their stores (my future job). They had two fashion shows but I captured a few pictures of the second show. My attire - top: Goodwill ($4), skirt: KnowStyle ($10), tights (unknown), shoes: Aldo ($20), bracelets (gift), and necklace: Francesca’s Collections ($10). Enjoy!

Happy 2012! So of course I have a new years blog-revolution. I was going to keep it simple and just blog about fashion shows, events, my shopping finds, mannequins I style, etc….. but I changed my mind. Dont worry, I’m not doing away with them I’m just adding a few extras. Maybe a few OOTD (oufit of the day) pictures and extra things to help you reach your goals in the future.

First things first, there is this awesome book called “5 Where will You be in Five Years?” This book is awesome! It pumps me up soooo much and it just reiterates what the Bible says, “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” Luke 1:37 (also posted on my way)

You can find the book at Francesca’s Collections and the Z gallery! I was thinking of doing a contest and you could win the book! :-) what do you think about that ?

Just let me know!!!!

Sorry it’s been sooo long but I’m back for a short time. Just know, when I come back, I always come with a bang! lol

Above are a few mannequins I dressed a while back. At Francesca’s Collections, we like to kind of play around with color and jewelry especially. My favorite one if the lace dress. Although I probably would have never put that together on myself, I like it as a whole, pretty cute.Hope you like!

So I ran into a customer at my job (Francesca’s Collections) who just amazed me! She had a unique- bold style. So of course, I asked her if I could take a picture and she agreed. above you can see the amazing shoes she wore by Jeffrey Campbell (like Lady Gaga’s shoes) and yes, she walked in those throughout the mall. SN: shhhh it’s a secret - she got them from shopnastygal.com- they don’t have them anymore but they have some AMAZING shoes! The rings she wore were from Hot Topic a few years back- I thought it was just the best thing in life! I love when people can express themselves freely! Have you spotted anything interesting that caught your eye in public? You should definately share!
