Moda Monday-Deirdre O.

This week FashionLoveAlways is putting the spotlight on Deirdre O. Deirdre is a Procurement/Real Property Specialist with USDA currently living in Nashville, TN. I had a chance to interview this fabulous lady and her looks are to DIE for...read her interview below:

FashionLoveAlways: What is your favorite outfit that you have right now?

Deirdre:  Oh goodness, my favorite outfit right now are jumpers and maxi dresses for the summer. I like how you can play each garment up or wear it very casual with the addition or reduction of a few accessories.

FashionLoveAlways: What are your top 3 essential clothing staples?

Deirdre:   My essential clothing staples are denim, dresses, and blazers. I love denim ANYTHING. Recently I started tye dying my denim for a more vintage look. I spend alot of time in consignment and thrift stores looking for vintage high wasted denim and really cool blazers with huge shoulder pads. I am originally from the Mid-West (Milwaukee, WI) and I went through horrible winter months. I now have grown to HATE wearing coats. So, in the fall/winter months I LIVE for a hot blazer and a beautiful scarf.

Deirdre:  I am a very feminine and girly girl so when I get dressed to go out. I absolutely love showing off my legs in a dress. Dresses make me feel real dainty and free. Depending on the cut of the dress and the shoes I choose to wear dresses make my legs longer and make me feel taller. I am not that tall.

FashionLoveAlways:  Which color/patterns do you love to wear the most?

Deirdre:  I love wearing colors that make my brown skin pop. For summer I love coral, chartreuse, nude. I am really into tribal patterns. I will wear floral patterns but I am not a huge fan of them.

FashionLoveAlways: What is your favorite season to dress in?

Deirdre O:  I LOVE fall/winter fashion.

FashionLoveAlways: Describe your personal style in 3 words.

Deirdre:  Simple, Sexy, and Sophisticated.

Deirdre is a beautiful lady with an awesome fashion sense! I really enjoyed interviewing her and seeing her looks.

Sheryl Mmschel Jones-Founder & CEO of the Matrix Group

When I began FashionLoveAlways one of the goals was to share with my readers positive women who were doing big things. I want to inspire women to never be afraid to pursue their dreams no matter what obstacles they may face.

This week I am highlighting another phenomenal woman, Sheryl Mmschel Jones.  Sheryl Mmschel Jones, is the mind behind the Matrix Group. 

As a former DJ & Radio Jock, she has always had an ear for music and an eye for images and in 2010 she took those senses and put them to work in the Matrix.

As founder & CEO of the Matrix Group she develops, brands & manages a variety of artists. Her roster includes Rapper Rob Francis, featured in the first issue of HFL magazine, Singer Sha Davis, Photographer Mz. Pop’arazzi, Painter William J Blaylock, and Hip Hop Recording artist Bella Xin. Rob Francis has an album "Before Lift Off" currently available on iTunes.

“The Matrix Group was designed to represent all art forms, I thought of all the things I enjoyed and didn’t want to box myself into one genre” she says.

Since launching the group in Dec 2010, Sheryl has not only successfully represented the artist, but has expanded the group service & product line to include music distribution, marketing, promotions & video production. Most recently she partnered with Hip Hop Genius Tough Junkie to develop Miazma, a Music festival and Concert for Indie artist to showcase their best work.  The summer edition of the show launched July 7^th and solidified her new title as founder. 

“To me the artist and the fans deserve quality, when I close my eyes at night I want to feel as if I’ve done a good job & everyone had a good time, that’s all that really matters. The money, cars & clothes, not so much, but they’re nice”. ~Sheryl Mmschel Jones

I hope you all enjoyed learning about Sheryl and have found inspiration in her determination and hustle. Find out more about The Matrix Group (here)

Love Always,

Anika

Moda Monday-Bianka M.

This week FashionLoveAlways has the spotlight on Bianka M. Bianka is currently living in Columbia, Maryland and is an Entrepreneur of Assiduous Solutions LLC. Bianka has a beautiful smile, curves for days and the perfect fashion sense! We've asked Bianka a few questions below and she has shared some of her favorite looks:

FashionLoveAlways: What is your favorite outfit that you have right now?
Bianka M:  I would have to say any of my many cotton (or stretch) dresses from the short ones, the baby doll fit to the long ones as they all accentuate my curves well.

FashionLoveAlways:   What are your top 3 essential clothing staples?
Bianka M:  1 - Confidence 2- Shoes 3- Accessories

FashionLoveAlways:   Which colors and/or patterns do you love to wear the most?
Bianka M:  I LOVE all colors, however, I would have to say BOLD colors and earthy tones to rock with my skin tone which has a red tone as well as a orange tone. As far as patterns I am feeling stripes and polka dots at this time. Not necessarily together but those two patterns are IT for me right now.

FashionLoveAlways:  What is your favorite season to dress in?
Bianka M:  This is tough. I would have to be honest and say it's a TIE between Summer and Fall because I am a SUMMER baby and like to be in the least clothes as possible and with Summer less is more in attire and I know how to dress accordingly. Also the BRIGHT hues in clothing and accessories are to die for. Fall is when I like to get the booties, calf boots, knee boots, pumps and A-Line skirts out with the lovely stretchy comfortable wrap dresses. Fall is also earth tone and darker hue season which is also FUN and different from a summer of eye popping brights. So I am in LOVE with them both but all in ALL Summer would be my absolute FAV..

FashionLoveAlways:  Describe your personal style in 3 words.
Bianka M:  CONFIDENT - COURAGEOUS - DARING

Bianka was so much fun to interview. I love that she is representing for the curvy girls in a GREAT way!! Thank you so much Bianka.

Always,
Anika
