Style Icon

Hey Fashionistas and Fashionistos,

Have you ever heard of Twiggy? I discovered Twiggy when she became a judge on America's Next Top Model. She's one of the biggest style icons of the fashion world. Twiggy is a London fashion supermodel from the 1960s. Her mod look took the fashion world by storm. She was on numerous fashion magazines, such as Vogue, Seventeen, and Elle. She even had her own Barbie doll. As her career continued she had other merchandise and also started her own clothing line. Her look was so popular that fans wanted to copy her style. Her look is still iconic til this day.

Look of the week!

Hey Fashionistas and Fashionistos,

If you've been following Beyoncé on Instagram lately, then you know she’s been posting pictures of her while on tour. I’m loving this printed two piece ensemble, and the hat tops it off as an added accessory.

June Ambrose: Celebrity Stylist

I discovered June Ambrose when VH1 showed her reality show Styled by June a couple years ago. Throughout her career she has styled some of the biggest celebrities such as Will Smith, Diddy, Jay Z, Mariah Carey, Missy Elliott and more. I was so excited to see a woman of my color doing really great things in the field I am pursuing. Since then I have been a big fan of hers. I follow her on social media. On her Instagram (@juneambrose) she makes posts quite often of her working, spending time with her family, and daily inspirational quotes. She seems really energetic and full of life. I can definitely tell that she enjoys what she does. I aspire to have a career doing what I love and she is a great example.

Also, I know she does a lot her work in NYC and she tends to post pictures of where she is. I remember last summer when a few friends and I went to New York for a few days, and I was hoping I would run into her. I didn't get to, but it was exciting knowing that it was possible. I hope I receive the privilege of working with her one day. Until then I will take notes, work hard, and as June Ambrose would say, “DREAM WITH YOUR EYES OPEN!”

XOXO,

Phyllis ♥

 

New Beginnings!

blog  

Hey Fashionistas and Fashionistos,

My name is Phyllis Smith and I’m a fellow lover of this wonderful fashion world. I am a recent college graduate from Southern Illinois University, with a degree in Fashion Design & Merchandising, and my specialization is styling. Fashion has always been exciting to me and my love grows for it more and more each day. I’m eager to start exploring the different avenues within fashion, and I plan to do so very soon.

 I would describe my style as sophisticated chic. However, I do like to change my look here and there to keep some excitement with my clothing choices. With this blog, I want to provide information on all things fashion and more. For instance, I want to talk about designers, stylists, celebrities and anything that has an influence in this industry. Also, I want to give my opinion on fashion news, trends and how to dress for you. In essence, I’m excited to start my blogging journey with my fellow fashion lovers!

XOXO,

Phyllis
