One year ago, God gave me a gift and that was Styling Purpose. Today, marks the genesis of my company and I am grateful that He trusted me with such a huge blessing. Styling Purpose is a personal wardrobe styling and shopping company; who's mission is to create a style that is effortless, irreplaceable and modish for each customer.
This past year I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing people. These clients have trusted me to personally style them and I would like to publicly thank you for investing in me. I look forward to styling you in the future. I would also like to thank my family and friends for supporting me. Go team Styling Purpose, love you long time :)
For me, fashion is a way of life. It is so cool that it can be whatever you need it to be. It is my friend and I am thankful for this relationship. Personally, my style is very versatile. I see everything in color. I always want to add a pop of color to a look, but that works for me. Some days my look is simple, but then I will wear one statement piece accessory to give me that extra spice. Other days my looks are very vibrant and my accessories are toned down so that it won't take away from my ensemble. The key to this fashion thing is to find what works for YOU and move forward from there. Don't be afraid to try new things, new trends. Mix and match colors. Most importantly, be true to yourself.
I don't understand everything that God has for me, but I do hold onto His word that says, " But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." (Hebrews 11:6) You may be at work or at home reading this blog and there are some things that you are praying to God for; You must believe His word and that He is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we can ask or think. There is an unlimited possibility when you fully trust and believe in Him. Sometimes God is just waiting on our faith to move on our behalf.
Styling Purpose will be celebrating one year of fashion and faith on June 2, 2012 with "Summer Reign" at the Haitian Heritage Museum 4141 NE 2nd Avenue #105C Miami, Florida 33137.

Beauty Within
I love fashion simply because it reminds me a lot of God. You don't know how He is going to work things out, but when it comes together it is simply remarkable. As stylists (hair, makeup or wardrobe) we have images and ideas that we create in our heads and we're unsure how the look will come together, but once our ideas are manifested there is nothing that can replace that feeling. It is an encounter with God!
I tell my clients all the time, to trust me. I would never send anyone out looking less than their best. Not only are you representing yourself, my brand, but most importantly God. He is my boss and He is who I answer to.
Everything that we do (thoughts, actions) are controlled by our mind. The mind is the center of our decision making. As a stylist it is my goal to capture what you feel about yourself and add flair to what is already beautiful. It doesn't matter if your rocking the latest trend, if you have low self-esteem and are harboring bitterness in your heart. God views us all as beautiful and unique. We are all made in his image, which is why fashion reaches all sizes, ages, and nationalities.
Not only am I a wardrobe stylist, but I am an encourager, motivator and an image builder. Follow my eye on fashion - it's 20/20 @StylingPurpose.
Styling Purpose to the world!

2012 - The Year of Order
Today I am reminded of the 22 courageous and vigilant women who founded Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. a sorority in which I am affiliated with. Today we celebrate 99 years of service, sisterhood and scholarship. As a Delta, but most importantly a child of God I was empowered to start my own business called Styling Purpose in May 2011. This is a wardrobe styling and personal shopping company. Shortly after starting my business I was laid off my job as a General Ledger Accountant for a company I had been with for a couple of years. Tears were shed, fear and doubt appeared, but purpose was knocking at my door. I didn't know then, but my MBA from Florida A&M University would definitely come in handy. When you follow God's purpose for your life, a lot of things don't make sense.
I had my first fashion show October 1, 2011 at St. Thomas University, some of you reading this post were in attendance and I thank you again for your support. It was through the support of my family and friends that this event was successful. My mom sent e-mails to her close friends, my best friend Victoria hit up everyone in her phone book, my friend April came from Orlando, one of my close friends Dre yielded his expertise at planning and promotions, my friends on fb liked posts and my followers on twitter retweeted my tweets about the fashion show and this was all to support the vision that God had given me. My village of support is so awesome and I love them so much. Know that everyone is not emotionally or spiritually built to go where God is leading you.I have learned through this process that when something is yours, everyone is not going to be supportive, not because they are haters, but solely because it is the vision that God has given to you and He will equip you with the resources that you need in order to fulfill the task at hand.
Everyone's purpose and journey is different. My Bishop told us this past week that God tests those people who He uses. So the pain and sometimes lack of funds...lool is apart of the process. God has connected me with some wonderful people in the fashion industry: Desiree Fleming of Voluptuous You, Racquel of Queen B Accessories and Roots Remix Designs, Sunnie Morrison of First Class Productions to name a few. Styling Purpose will host our second fashion show and mixer, "Fashion - A Love Affair" on Sunday, February 12, 2012 from 6-8pm at New Birth Enterprise 8400 N.E. 2nd Avenue Miami, FL 33148. Vendor and sponsorship are welcomed. Tickets are $5 in advance and $10 at the door and they will be available next week for purchase. For more information contact me at StylingPurpose@yahoo.com.
I ask that you follow me along my journey of PURPOSE. Until the next post! Hebrews 11:6
