Jade Rose: Style Me Pretty Feature

Happy New Years Eve lovely readers!!! It feels so good to be back and blogging! I wanted to end 2012 with a post full of great photos and fashion, in case you missed it from my instagram, I was asked to model for a bridal shoot that ended up getting featured on the Style Me Pretty website!!! 

Outfit Details: I offered a Sarah Seven gown to be worn and they paired it with this classy white blazer from Nordy's, so industrial chic. Without further a-do!

See all of the amazing photos HERE!

Be safe and Happy New Year! So excited for what 2013 will bring!! (Like getting to be a real Bride!)

Wardrobe Stylist East Coast

Great News!!! I was hired as a wardrobe stylist these past two days for a worldwide healthcare company and they loved me so much that they asked me to stay with them for this next week! The only catch? They are done shooting in Portland and now need to shoot in DC and Boston, and they are flying me out to shoot with them!! Weeee!!! I have officially landed my first national job as a wardrobe stylist for a renowned company, working with the best of the best (not to mention our amazing photographer who was flown in from Holland for this project) and get to travel (so excited) while doing so! It's what I've worked so hard for, countless hours blogging, many years designing accessories and playing around with different textiles or fabric mediums. The money spent, the all nighters, the unpaid "for portfolio" work that I've worked my butt off for, and I'm here. I've achieved my goal. And I thoroughly enjoyed my time these past two days! I am getting paid to do what I love and I am really excited to share this journey with you! I will continue to work 12 hour days, but as time allows I'll be updating the blog this next week. Follow me on Instagram and Twitter as well for photos and posts that probably won't make the blog. I feel blessed, and huge thank you goes to my roommate Liz Vice who referred me to this job which is opening huge doors. Thank you!!

I have never been to DC, Virginia, or Boston before, suggestions for what to do or see if I have any free time?!!

Also, today is my heart birthday!!!! It's been three years since my pacemaker was placed! I had a DIY all ready for you with lots of details on what that entails, but due to the above everything is getting pushed back. Be excited, it's totally worth the wait!

Holiday Style DIY: Hair Accessory

I love the Holidays and I DIY (do-it-yourself) almost everything in my life. So I present to you my little part in the Holiday Hair DIY fun. My Holly hair pin, complete with vintage goodies, some metallic gold, and handmade with love! Perfect for your next outfit or for as a gift!

You'll need:

(Vintage berries, gold wire, bobby pins, pliers, gold accents)

Step1: Twist gold beading wire through berries creating a 'stem'.

Step 2: Wrap wire around bobby pins, glue gold accents of your choice to the bobby pin. 

and Voila!

 Super simple, super cute. You can use anything you want to adorn your beautiful hair. Happy DIY'ing, if you make any hair clips send photos my way!!

Holiday Style: What to wear

I am welcoming December with arms wide open! Winter has set in and my holiday clothes are strewn across my clothing racks, I have lots of goodies for you these next few weeks, this time of year is one of my favorites! So why not start my favorite month with my current fancy pants jeans, these babies have been my go-to pair. I can't get enough of them. I call them my 'crazy pants'. :) Would you ever wear skinny jeans like these?!
