    Hello! I styled this outfit mainly for my CWS Casual Styling part of my Final. Autumn is my absolute favorite season! With its cooler weather and beautiful colors, it was easy to come up with a lovely look.

    I chose to wear a lovely mesh "Alex Harlequin Outfit" complete with a sexy pencil skirt and low necked patterned top designed by [LIV-Glam]. With its bold yet simple pattern has beautiful colors perfect for the fall weather. This outfit is paired with sleek black boots designed by Bax Coen. I accessorized with a gold and black "Pratis" Ring and a gold "Szark" necklace both from Glow Studio. I also grabbed a great Crocodile skin tote in eggplant from ISON (for the picture only. I haven't mastered doing runway with a bag without having it look all over the place). With my hair simply brushed back, this outfit is perfect for any woman on the go. Comfortable and versatile, staying warm has never been cuter!

    I am happy to say that I passed my final with a 98! Of course with my perfectionist personality, I would have loved a 100 but I messed up a lil on the styling formation. (lol) But all in all, my trainer loved my look and my posing (yay!). I am proud to say that I will be graduating University Classic with Style on Friday at 3pm SLT, finally completing the first step to becoming a Top Model. Having fun along the way, I'm excited to see where this journey will end up.

Till next time!

Purple & Blue Fusion {U.R.} #009

*Sighs* As my time as a Classic With Style famous student comes to a close, I would like to give a BIG thanks to all my fantastic instructors! I have learned so much by being a student and look forward to my future as a CWS Model. 

For my final, I have to style clothes from Classic With Style Fashion District's new store addition: U.Refined Fashion. (picture of store front below) U.Refined Fashion is  GREAT urban clothing store and I recommend any and everyone to take a look!

I love bright colors and different patterns, so when I went into the store, I gravitated towards this ensemble. Here I am wearing an outfit entitled "Purple and Blue Fusion" complete with a dark purple blazer, blue leggings and a blue & purple patterned tube top. It also comes in blue & pink, red & black, and black & white. This versatile set is perfect for pairing different items from other stores to make a whole new look!  I decided to wear some sexy nude platform heels from N-Core, balancing the louder colors. Completing this look, I added a double chain gold necklace, "tangled" gold bangles, and a "punisher" gold ring all from -B L E U- (I just love that store!) This look is sexy and sophisticated all at the same time. Enjoy!

    Hello! This is the look I put together for my Classic with Style October Class Midterm. I am so surprised how fast this month has gone by! I have learned so much about mainstream modeling & excited for my future as a model with Classic with Style. As you can tell, the theme is Lady Gaga! When this theme was assigned, I was a little nervous since Lady Gaga's style is so abstract. But when I started thinking about her past songs, I started to piece this look together.

    This outfit was influenced of my favorite Lady Gaga music video, Paparazzi, a story of starlet that took revenge on her boyfriend that pushed her off a balcony after a fight. My favorite part in the entire video was at the end when Lady Gaga posed for mug shots like a fashion model. Very sexy!

    With that video as my inspiration, I am wearing a tulip shaped metallic Bomb Dress from Ash's Trash. I paired that with some sexy fish net stockings from Base 13. Adding a bit of edge to my look, I chose to wear futuristic black spiked shoes entitled "Armadillo" from R.icielli. I accessorized with wearing fierce black spiked fingerless gloves from Heartcore and elegant black pearls from Mandala. Completing my GaGa look, I wear a blonde wig entitled "Totally Gaga bob" designed by LaVie.

    Lady Gaga has so many different looks, but the clothing she wore in the Paparazzi video is my all time favorite! I hope you enjoyed my interpretation of Lady Gaga fashion.

Autumn Beauty #007

Autumn... My favorite season of all time! I just love the warm colors and pleasant weather. This look was inspired by the beautiful season.

*Hair: Bloom Noir 4HB - Loovus Dzevavor (INFINITA 211,14,32)

*Makeup- R.icielli Expressive Makeups/Eyeshadow 04 (Ricielli 94,111,27) & [C*K] Pink Sparkles (Marketplace) 

If you haven't been able to tell already, I LOVE LOVE LOVE formal wear!! Long, elegant and sophisticated gowns are just my style. This beautiful gown is one of Miss Darcy's designs. Its peach, orange and brown tones fits the season perfectly. I chose to pair this dress with a simple diamond earring and necklace set resembling leaves along with a golden autumn circlet also decorated with leaves. My hair is tied up beautifully into an updo formed into a flowers bloom. Completing this look, I wear silver eyeshadow and face glitter. I hope you enjoy!

With my time at CWS, I have gotten better and better at styling. As I enter the modeling world, I plan to also leap into competitions and pageants, striving to be the best I can be. Wish me luck! :D

The Ms. Universe Pageant Finale #004

Hola everyone! Today I attended the Ms. Universe Pageant Finale, well actually, I was in the intermissions. But while I was back stage, I was able to snap a few pics of contestants in the first and second round.

Here are the lovely contestants in their swimwear attire. The theme was EXOTIC & these ladies definitely fit the theme. I loved their creativity and each person's take on what "exotic" meant. 

Round 2 was the solo talent and the "Theme" Masquerade Party. This was my favorite round. I got to see some wonderful and interesting talents. 

Unfortunately, I was unable to take pictures for the last round but thanks to Ms. Laylah & Caralyne I was able get a snapshot for the winners. Congrats to Liberty Lighthouse (1st) Janet Brink (2nd) and Princess VioletaGrace (3rd)

Overall, I had a great time at this Pageant. It gives me something to look forward when I get more involved with mainstream modeling. For my next blog, I will be showcasing the two looks I put other for the intermission performances.

    Osiyo! (Cherokee for "Greetings) I wore this look for the Oct 8th "Being You" themed event sponsered University Classic with Style. In light of the theme, I bring you a part of myself.
    This look was influenced by my paternal Cherokee Indian heritage.

Elegantly adding to the long look of my legs, I am wearing stilettos, entitled DARE, designed by Diktator. To complete this bold ensemble, I chose to wear an eye-catching black and gold necklace & earring set entitled Kimora and a gold tangled bracelets both designed by B L E U. This simple but daring look is sure to make heads turn.
