A New Favorite

Hello, Friends!

With the madness of life lately, we’ve been so crazy busy. But, I absolutely had to share my new favorite piece that I’m completely obsessed with. It’s Gwendolyn! Just kidding…

I’ve had my eye on a “Mary Poppins Bag” for years and just never pulled the trigger. Being that we travel frequently, this bag is perfect for so many things. This past week I used it as a weekender but also just my bag with all my things in it.

Also, there are times I need to take our camera for one thing or another. It fits perfectly. There’s also enough room for everything I need when we shoot a wedding. Usually, I’m reading at least two books, they fit too.

It’s truly the most perfect bag that you’ll be seeing a lot of, haha!

Thanks for stopping by!

One more thing, be careful I don’t trust a Tuesday...

A Closet Icon

Hey, All! I’m back!…for now.

I know in past posts I’ve spoke of being busy but I think I need a new word for that at this point in my life. Because damn. I’ve had zero time for anything as of late. However I really miss my little creative outlet known as The Fast Fashionista. So, I’m going to make it my best effort to stay a little consistent in the Fast Fash space.

When it comes to a “Closet Icon” there could, of course, be more than one. But, today I’m going to share a very special Closet Icon.

First, let’s talk about what exactly a Closet Icon is. This is something that is either special, stands out, an investment piece, or maybe something that has a great story.

Today, I’m sharing my favorite hat. I came across Flea Style in Kentucky. I found this gem in the hotel we stayed at during a Valentine’s Day trip this past year. Also, I’ve said this million times but “hat” was my first word after all…

In my humble opinion I think that everyone needs a custom hat so if you ever find yourself at a hat bar all I can say is DO IT. I can’t say enough about Kelly and the staff at Flea Style. They were absolutely amazing. The entire experience was incredible. They give you a tray and you get to pick a blank hat, and walk around this insanely chic shop and collect all the things that speaks to you. Let me tell you right now I wasn’t leaving without some green, gold, pearls, and of course a feather.

As I said, all the things that a Closet Icon is, this hat has all of those qualities. It’s truly a piece I’ll treasure for many years to come.

Thank you for stopping by and don’t forget, thank your local Hatter! If only my town had one….

I hope your Monday includes hot, strong coffee, good weather, and maybe a chic piece…like a hat.

Zoom In On Your Style

Hello, All!

I’m back again this week with five ways to own your style. Here are some looks to give you inspo and maybe taking a second look at the things in your closet.

  1. Have some favorite pieces

    I absolutely love this sweater. I wear it all year round. Since it’s super colorful, it goes with everything and adds a little fun to a look.

2. Make Cozy Look Chic

  1. One thing I like to do is dress up a casual outfit. It doesn’t take too much. A cute pair of heels and jewelry really bring this fit up a notch.

3. Keep ‘Em Guessing

  1. When it comes to my style, I really pull an outfit based on my mood. Also, being a true-blue Gemini, I could be in all black or in something super bright and colorful.

4. Play With Color

Have some fun with unexpected color combinations. I didn’t know where I was going with this outfit, but I loved the outcome.

5. Finish your look

  1. For me you probably know by now, but a hat usually finishes my look. Find something in your wardrobe that feels like it’s yours. Search for the feeling that “oh this is my piece” that feels finished. Like I’ve said before, “hat” was my first word. I think I knew I’d end up a hat girl.

Have a wonderful day! I hope it brings something good your way!
