In the Mix

Today I handled business for The RAD Shop, school, and had drinks and lunch with a friend.

I had dying to wear these paisley print shorts and mix them with another print and today I got to do just that. I paired my outfit with strappy single sole sandals and my favorite almost cat-eye but not quite sunglasses and I was off!

The Little Skater Girl

Yesterday was the celebration for my friend D'Mani's 21st birthday! A bunch of us gathered at the Embassy Suites by Perimeter Mall and had a great time.

I was entirely too excited to wear the dress I had bought from American Apparel earlier this year. The full skirt makes me feel mine a ballerina or an ice skater. I paired the dress with a pair of nude strappy single sole sandals, a few pieces of gold jewelry, and a dark plum lip.

Throwback Thursday

I posted this picture on Instagram Thursday for Throwback Thursday and it filled me with joy. These are some of the first pieces I made. I never get tired of looking at my work and when people respond to my work positively and ask when I'm opening up the shop or if they can buy my products now, my heart swells. What started out as a hobby, something to pass the time, and a way for me to have the jewelry I imagined in my head is now going to make me my living. I have complete confidence in RAD! as a boutique, accessories company, and styling company. Thank you all for following me on my journey and I cannot wait for you all to see all that I have in store.

Trend Watch: Single Sole Sandals

About two years ago, I was browsing the Internet when I stumbled across Rihanna in a pair of amazing dark red patent leather single sole sandals. I instantly fell in love with them but I had no idea what they were called so I gave up my search after a few months.

So imagine my surprise and delight when I saw that single sole sandals were being announced a major Spring trend! I ordered my first pair from Prabal Gurung from his line for Target in a neon green and then I added pairs in white, black, nude, and yellow to my collection.

These shoes are amazing! They make your feet look sexy even if you have big feet like me (I wear a size 9!) and your miles look like they go on for miles in this sleek, sexy style.

Fitting Room Chronicles

On Saturday, I headed out to run a few errands. My work schedule and the boutique have been keeping me so busy that I'm I rarely have time to go out anywhere much less get dressed up.

So when I realized that I was in desperate need of groceries and tired of opening up the refrigerator every 15 minutes like food would magically appear, I chose this ensemble.

Sheer long sleeve shirt, leather/mesh leggings, and an ankle strap wedge. I added a few simple pieces of jewelry and then I was on my way.

The RAD! Shoot

This past Sunday, I styled another shoot with Dior. This time I got to style her in some pieces from my upcoming boutique, The RAD! Shop. The scenery was very edgy and I loved playing with the looks so that they meshed with each backdrop.

Check out some photos below!

Cassie x Forever 21

Cassie has been on a roll lately! After the release of her new mixtape, RockaBye Baby which featured artists such as Rick Ross and Wiz Khalifa, it has been announced that she is now the face of Forever 21!

Forever 21 provides affordable apparel for the fashionista in all of us, and I have been a little impressed with their Spring 2013 collection.
