Playing Catch Up

Hi guys!!! It's been a minute since my last post. I've been suuuuuuper busy with school. I do apologize. Let's play "catch up," shall we? Well, I'm half way done with nursing school. It was dragging along at first, but now it's starting to pick up. Nothing has really changed.

I wanted to inform you guys that I've decided to change the name and theme of this blog. I changed the blog name to "Life of a Stylista." I choose this particular name because it really defines me as a person. I see myself as a Stylista, as opposed to a Fashionista, only because I have a stronger love for style. Don't get me wrong, I'm still madly in love with fashion, I just wanted to portray style in a different light. 

When deciding on the perfect name, I decided to explore the definition of the word "stylista." I found: a stylista is one who expresses style through beauty, hair and make-up, and wardrobe. I agreed with this definition. Not only will this now be a style/fashion blog, my posts will also feature a variety of topics that are included in my life; such as DIY projects, beauty, recipes, and lifestyle posts. Aren't you excited?! Well, I am!! :) I will also feature posts about fashion, such as Style Inspiration, Celeb Style..Hot or Not?, Trend Alerts, Stylsita Hotspots, Hustler in Heels, Get the Look for Less, Ways to Wear, Makeup/Hair tips and ideas, DIY projects, Style Makeovers, Monthly Favorites, The Style Diaries, and Stylista of the Week.

 

For the past couple of weeks, I've been thinking long and hard about starting my very own Styling business (which is in the works!). I've decided to finally venture out and start styling. I want to gain some experience because I'm still on the fence as to whether continue my academic career at a Fashion school. When I get everything ironed out, I will be sure to let you guys know first!! If you are interested in me doing any styling services, please take a look at the 'Services' link in the tabs above for more information.

Well, that's all. I hope all is well. Stay tuned.

Inspired by a Fellow Blogger

Hi guys!! This is going to be kind of a short post because I''m suppose to be getting ready for church but I just couldn't help myself. I was scrolling through my Dash on my Tumblr and I came across a fellow blogger who had a couple of sets with the hashtag "If I was your Stylist" and I instantly fell in love!! If you know me, you know that I am madly in love with ALL things related to fashion and I aspire to be a Stylist one day. Since I've been in nursing school, my love for fashion has grown even more. Her post really inspired me to create more outfit sets. So I created a few of my own..

Check them out below:

Hope you like!! I plan on posting these on my Tumblr when I get back from church. Tell me what you think. Have a Happy Sunday!!! :)

Fall Inspirations

Hi guys!! Welp, it's Monday...again. Thankfully I don't have any more homework due this week. So, I decided to spend my time wisely...and blog lol. Any who, I know it's the season for Fall festivals and things of the sort, so why not give out a little outfit inspiration.

One of my good friends invited my sister, my niece and I to a Fall festival in her neighborhood this past weekend, of course we went. I didn't know what to expect but I'm glad I went. It was nice to get away from homework, plus I wanted to see how my niece would react at her first Fall festival. My family has never celebrated Halloween so when I heard 'Fall festival' I thought it was going to be another typical Halloween function..I was wrong. It was actually nice. There was food, bouncy things for the kids, hay rides, and games. We would have stayed longer had the weather been a little warmer; plus, my niece was sick :(

I was definitely dressed for Fall. People normally don't know what to wear to Fall festivals and things like that, so I thought about doing a post with Fall-worthy outfit inspirations. Here goes:

Ok, the first look is chic yet simple. I pair a basic pair of skinny jeans with a plaid long-sleeve button down shirt. You can wear this outfit to any festivities for the Fall and look very chic. I've become such a huge fan of riding boots! They're gorgeous. You guys should know by now how I feel about pearls; I LOVE them, of course I add to add a pearl necklace here. I actually love the clutch because of the fringed tassels it has. So, whether you're going to the pumpkin patch or the state fair, this outfit would be perfect.

This look would be perfect for a Holiday party, date night, or even a Girl's Night Out. I love black skinny jeans, they scream sophistication to me. I paired the basic black skinny jeans with a beautiful pink blouse. I know it's not the type of weather for a blouse with no sleeves, but that's why the blazer is for. I added a striped blazer as opposed to a regular, plain black blazer to add dimension to this look. A simple wedge bootie and black clutch complete the look. The diamond collar statement necklace adds a sense of elegance. I would most definitely wear this look. If I'm able to purchase all of these items, then I'll have a Outfit of the Day (OOTD). Be on the look out :)

Ok, you guys should know by now that I'm a HUGE fan of white jeans. I don't care if it's after, before, or during Labor day, I will wear white jeans all year long. I'm actually thinking about doing an OOTD with this outfit. I just might, as soon as I purchase the rest of the clothing items, so far I only have the leopard print scarf and then tan cross-body bag. As soon as I get everything else, I'll do an OOTD so be on the look out. I love denim tops/ I always look for one when ever I go thrifting but I've never been able to find one that I like or one that actually fits. I'll try again in the near future. I pair the white jeans and the denim shirt with a pair of tan Oxford shoes, that I just A-D-O-R-E! They're beautiful, right? :)

These are three outfits that I would definitely not mind wearing this season. Let me know what you think. Hope you enjoyed. Have a Happy Monday!!!

      

Color of the Month: Royal Blue

Hi guys!!! While I was taking a break from drowning in Pharmacology outlines, as well as a Growth & Development summary, I decided to do another post before I get anxiety from another week of school. I haven't done a 'Color of the Month' since my very first post so I figured I should do another one. Ok so, I've been seeing the color royal blue a little bit more than usual. Although I haven't always been a huge fan of this particular color, I can truthfully admit that it has grown on me, I think it's a beautiful color. It is definitely "in" this year. It's such a versatile color, that it's able to pair well with a variety of other colors. Check it out below:

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this post. I should finish up my homework and get ready for another week of nursing school. Have a happy Sunday!!
