Gold'N Textured ~ Fall 2012 Vintage Fashion Trend

The stylist side of me has been refreshed by the thought of fall. I may be a summer baby but fall is my favorite season mainly for the colors and fashion. As we know Couture Pieces Resurrected is my vintage collection and I plan to start selling pieces at this year's Cooper Young Festival . My motto is "Old is the new New". It expresses fashion's nostalgia and tendency to repeat itself. Each historical fashion era has an influence on the current designer runways. Check out the first look I styled and photographed for the next ad campaign.

Luxurious textures from leather to embroidery will be in this fall. Mixed with prints and rich jewel tones, this look can be worn casually or for a night out. Just add bold accessories and a fun, funky hat.

In this look:

Gold Beaded Vest
80s High Waist Leather Pants
90s Liz Claiborne straw hat
Vintage Elephant Belt 
Vintage Scarf 
All available at Couture Pieces Resurrected

The $5 Outfit Challenge

Everyone who knows me, knows how much I love thrift shopping. It's something I inherited from my mother and I can usually find awesome fashion pieces there. Last month, I decided to share my experiences and tips on thrift shopping. I also decided to challenge myself to find a stylish outfit at the thrift store for $5 or less. Watch the video to see if I accomplished my goal! 

Modelesque ~ Learn to express yourself in photos

An advantage of being both a model and photographer is experiencing how it feels to be on both sides of the camera....especially starting out. Breaking the barrier that keeps you from being confident to be whatever it is you dream to be is a start. If becoming a model or just taking great photos is a goal for you, this may be your stepping stone.

Modelesque is being produced by myself and an amazing and inspirational model, Tanieka Carter.  Tanieka Carter is a model, coach, and consultant who has also studied theater and dance. She aims to help others find their niche and express themselves in the fashion industry.
