I cannot believe 2014 is over!!!! Where has the year gone? Well for starters, I can tell you this year had a lot of fashion statements and comebacks.

In my own world this was a year of Action. A lot of things I placed on paper finally came through:
Completed makeup courses with top MUAs in Trinidad and the US (Pinky, Jennifer Bradley etc)
Became a Certified Image Consultant
Got my brand aka my logo
Registered my company A. Nichelle and Co. Image Consulting Services
Launched my website with intro vid

This was only the beginning of my journey. It wasn't easy as during these projects I faced many challenges, obstacles and mountains! But, I kept my head up and on God to give me grace and strength to push through. I persevered and I made it! I look forward to a fresh, brand new year and excited about the numerous opportunities and blessings God has already bestowed. Now to close of 2014 with a bang!

If you don't know, NYE is about glitz and glitter to the max. To glam up for tonight, it's ok to incorporate shiny items in your outfit:

Don't be afraid to shine as you close out the year. Celebrate to the max!!! I wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year celebration and May God continue to bless you. Let's be more positive, kind, loving and forgiving in 2015. THIS IS FASHIONISTA NEWZ!

GIFT GIVING 2014

WELCOME TO DECEMBER 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this month 1st of all because it's MY BIRTHDAY MONTH and ofcourse CHRISTMAS!!!! This month reminds me every year that I'm so blessed to be alive to see another year and another Christmas. It is at this time, I reflect on my life; all the good, bad, ugly etc and see what needs to be changed, updated, dropped or welcomed in my life.

Giving a gift to someone is tradition usually done during holidays and birthdays. Ofcourse since the economy took a nose dive, people have cut back on giving or gifts period. So this year, there are a lot of nifty things at affordable pricing to give to someone as a Christmas gift. And well, if you're born in December then most likely your birthday and Christmas gift/s are combined! smh.

FOR THE GALS:
The usual are like mini perfume sets, bath and body sets, make-up, books, wine, jewelry and ofcourse clothes or shoes.

FOR THE GUYS:

Anything techy, games, clothes (like a tshirt, jacket or socks), tickets to a game, nice shoes, a watch.

FOR EVERYBODY:

When you can't figure out what to get or for those that are super picky, nothing beats the joy of giving GIFT CARDS!!!!!!!!!!!

The days before the holidays are busy on the street as everyone shop for any and everything from Christmas trees, gifts etc. Please be careful out there and if you can't afford to buy..why not offer a service. Sometimes giving may not be monetary but your time is just as precious.

As always, have fun and be creative. THIS IS FASHIONISTAS NEWZ!
