Spice it Up!
This week don't just live in the norm. I know the daily grind can get to you but refocus your energy this week. Think about renewing your sense of fabulous. Ladies we all get ourselves in a rut and it is time that we take our work, casual and personal style to the next level. This week buy accessories!
Here are a few tips to get your accessory game back on point!
Refresh, Renew, Rewear is my motto when it come to accessories! Check out magazine's like +VIBE Vixen, +InStyle, and +Glamour Magazine when you are trying to find some new inspiration. Also start an accessory album on +Pinterest so that you can start pinning inspiration. You have to have fun with your wardrobe everyday! There is no need to lock yourself in the closet of doom when it comes to releasing your inner diva.
While I was flipping through the pages of +Essence I came across so many different ideas for this season and I am constantly looking around me to challenge what I think is fashionable. The most important thing that you can do for yourself is challenge your sense of style. Even with something as simple as accessories you can express yourself by rejuvenating you sense of beauty. Remember where the mind goes the man follows so keeping your mind focused on how fabulous you are will both increase your confidence and your productivity at work.
Whether you buy +CHANEL earrings or go to +Body Central to hit up their incredible deals on colorful accessories remember to buy smart. The key to creating a full flow of accessories as well as new pieces for outfits is thinking ahead. When you look at celebrities like +Lea Michele think about the simple beauty she exemplifies but she is never afraid to take a risk. You have to really work on working just as hard to take a fashionable risk as you do to play it safe.
Kerry Washington and Kelly Osbourne are two celebs that I watch for cues and clues with accessory pop. Kerry always has an edgy yet safe approach to effortless beauty while Kelly is a straight up risk taker with a natural flare for fun. Both of those approaches to style fit who I am. You have to figure out who you want to watch so that you can find out what or who will keep challenging you try new colors, textures and styles.

Image is Everything
Most people hear the word image and they think shallow but the actuality of building your image, getting a makeover and/ or creating your personal brand is that it is all about packaging who you truly are. The word authentic should ring in your ears. You have to capitalize on the characteristics that make you unique. Rather than seeing yourself as different see yourself as a work of art.

Some of the biggest names in the image and beauty business weighed in as I started working on this topic. If you watch the show L.A. Hair on WeTV starring my fabbie Kim Kimble who has created looks for some of the biggest stars in the entertainment industry then you know that her take on image is very holistic. From songstresses Mary Mary to Brandi and Monica creating gorgeous looks for celeb tresses is truly Kim's gift. Her advice for women working on their personal brand is to remember that your reputation and image are both a huge part of brand building.
I totally agree with that and there are so many different facets to image building but the first step is to think about who you truly are and how you fit into the industry you are or will be working in. I am in a very creative field so I have a little more leeway at times but I must always research the meeting, company, conference, or client that I will be working with in order to know what kind of angle to take with that particular job. I had to begin with really thinking myself out and I continue to work on new pieces of my image all the time.
+Candace Jordan style maven and celeb blogger told me that meticulous appearance is important to building her brand because part of her brand is all about fashion. You may have seen Candace on the reality show Chicagolicious. Her gorgeous face is not the only thing that helps her promote her brand. She really has laid out the thought of who she is and what sells her in everything she does. That sense of well thought out appeal will help elevate not just your brand but your self esteem.

I think the most important thing for you to remember is that starting dialogue is a great place to begin but you have to keep working on it. You can not plan yourself out once a year and think you are going to stay current and fresh. It is really imperative that every 3 months you go through your closet, shoes and pictures that you have posted via social media. Then compare them to your business's mission statement. Ask yourself: Am I a great visual example of what my vision or mission statement expresses I want to project? What can I improve? Do I need to update anything? Am I attending enough events or do I need to add more red carpet opportunities to my resume?
From +Glamour Magazine to +InStyle and style experts like Glamo from the +Style Network show Glam Fairy the experts all agree that the visual captures people attention. Glamo actually tweeted me saying that today's society is visual. He brought up an incredible point that both branding and appearance create an opportunity for people to get your brand in pictures. That is entirely true! Every image that you post via social media projects your personal brand whether you are a singer, an executive moving up the corporate ladder or you are an up and coming entrepreneur.
+Style for Hire Stylists which is the image development firm of brilliant fashion stylist Stacy London from the amazing makeover show What Not to Wear. The stylists at Style for Hire also made an incredible point. How you look is the first message you send people and your potential clients. You will never get a second chance at a first impression so make sure that you think it out. Take time for yourself and don't be afraid to push the envelope. You may just love the authentically fabulous picture of yourself.
My Tweetie Pies are Buzzing!
