CGC at Strike A Pose Fashion Show For Beaute Marc Clothing!

Hello All!

 Last night I had the pleasure of covering my first Fashion Show ever here on Church Girl Chic! I had an awesome time sitting front row of the fashion show of a very driven designer! BreAna Allen the young designer who I featured in a post  HERE in October featured her first collection. The Show consisted of two scenes, Glitz & Glamour which showcased designs with a lot of sequin, studs, and details! My favorite of the entire collection was her leggings that she designed herself! The next scene Classy & Fabulous consisted of  lots of Jeggins, dresses, ruching, and color blocking. I got a a urban feel from here designs with a twist of glam! I loved her line, and I know that you all will as well! DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THE BEST THING ABOUT IT?? SHE DESIGNED IT ALL HERSELF! GREAT JOB BREANA!

Happy Birthday To My Bestie! And a new necklace!

Hello All!

  First and foremost I would like to say thanks again to all of my followers! Hope everyone is trying to get into this new giveway! Yah!
  Anyway! One of my best friends, Nashondra had a birthday dinner for her 23rd B-day. We had so much fun at Fridays! I had to show you all a new necklace I just purchased for 3 bucks at Dots! I would have done a OOTN, however, my photographer was too cold and took bad pictures (its Michigan you'll). So I just decided to broadcast my necklace in stead!

Much Love and God Bless!

Style Craze!!!!! GLITTER SHOES!

Hello Dolls!

  Glitter and Sequin is not just for cute little kids and dancers anymore! Glitter is everywhere! I must admit, when I trend begins it spreads! And what I have been seeing a lot of are glitter shoes! I first saw these shoes at Baker. I wanted them so bad but I had to buy another pair of shoes for an event and I had to kiss those shoes goodbye! (womp womp!) Then I seen them at the Steve Madden store and almost passed out! They were a little bit cheaper but I could not afford them! (Darn!). So then I was walking in my local mall and saw them at one of my favorite stores Charolette Russe, and I was done! lol. I know I know, it did not need such a drawn out story but I had to tell you my love for these glitter shoes! When I started to see celebs wearing them then I knew that it was a trend! These shoes are a must have going into the fall to add with those staple pieces! And I most definately have to get a pair!

Lady in Black

Hello All!
I have had such a great month so far! I have had fun with friends and family, and I have worn black! My favorite color to wear! Last weekend I experimented with an all black ensemble. I wish I could show you all the entire look but my sister would not take a picture of me (BOOOOO!) But I still love her! lol. The shirt and the skirt are both thrifted. I shorted the skirt because it was to my ankles, and the waistline of the skirt was too darling to wear it that long! I wore this shorter shirt with black tights and black platforms!
Have a Happy week everyone! Happy Monday!

Much Love and God Bless!

DIY Boyfriend Blazer "Cuff"

Hello All!
 OK, I know that in past post I have mentioned that I love to thrift and last month I found an 80's/90's style blazer that I had to have! (I have a million black blazers) so I had to make this one different. After I altered the jacket to modernize the fit of the jacket I wanted to add a cuff. I bought about a half of a yard of lace fabric for something else and I thought that it would be perfect for the blazer. The instructions are going to be below.
What you will need:
A blazer
Scissors
Needle, Thread, and Bobbin(if machine sewing)
Fabric of your choice (I decided on a black lace)

1. Turn the blazer inside out.
2. Take the fabric of your choice and wrap it around the sleeve of the blazer to get an idea of where to cut the fabric.( Make sure that it is not too much or too little fabric because this can cause the cuff to look like a five year old made it and that is not cute. he he.)
3. Pin the fabric around the edge of the sleeve to secure the fabric.
4. Began sewing the fabric onto the edge of the sleeve.
5.After the fabric is sew turn the jacket right side in and cuff the fabric and Voila! A custom made cuff for your blazer!

Have Fun!

2011 Summer Trend:Hair Accessories, and How to

Hello Again!

   Recently I have fell deeply in love with hair accessories( look out for a DIY post). I have recently purchased headbands, flowers, clips, and hair pins to wear in my hair. I have seen so many celebrities wear them and they were all over fashion week runways!

My cute little headband! I love it!

How do you wear a hair accessory?

Step One: Make sure you hair is styled accordingly. Do not use a hair accessory as an opt out of styling your hair. Style your hair to fit the accessory.

Step Two: Look like an adult! Hair accessories can sometime appear to be juvenile, so when wearing an accessory curl your hair, tease your crown, or pull your hair off of your face for age appropriateness. Wearing make up can help as well.

Step Three: When wearing a stretched headband or a flower headband go for the chic look pulling it closer to your forehead. When going for softer look wear it just about the forehead(Picture above).

Step Four: When wearing a large hair accessory, wear small earrings, and limited jewelry because the overall look can be a little much. So choose your statement piece. Not pieces! 

Step Five:Just Ask your stylist. When you go to the salon ask your stylist how to wear your accessories with your hairstyle. Stylist are creative so they will be able to give you great idea!

Have Fun!

OOTD:Wedding

OK my best friend from high school recently got married and I had to find the best outfit possible to wear to her wedding. I wanted a long dress and that is what I set out to look for. And I found it! I took the pictures in my backyard as the sun began to set I thought the dress was beautiful. It was $70.00 from Dressbarn Woman and it had a silk chiffon flow with beautiful beading at the waistline. I was in love! I got so many compliments on it! And I had to wear a red lip you'll....lol.
