Hi Guys,

I'm sorry I have not been updating! I am currently working on a new site and layout! Mai Style Pages will be back in the Spring new and improved! In the meantime follow me on INSTAGRAM: Mai Style Pages as I trek my way through Asia for the next month!

Pastel Story for COCO Magazine

Our pictures were picked up by Coco Magazine! The team and I styled Taylor in a Pastel story a couple of weeks ago. Fantastic photography by Liz Besanson, Makeup by Patricia Solis and Hair by Kenya Stone.

striped, multi-colored vintage vest

It's a striped, multi-colored vintage vest, need I say more ? Oh wait, it has the daintiest metal detail. I was on set a couple of weeks ago with photographer, Liz Besanson and we had a few minutes to shoot before the model arrived. Liz is an amazing photographer. She is talented and sweet and we both adore vintage and thrift shopping. Working as a stylist is already so much fun but collaborating with people who share the same love is even more enjoyable. We've even planned a vintage/thrift shopping date next week. I love my job. ;) Oh, Happy New Year Guys!!!! I could feel it, IT IS GOING TO BE  A GOOD YEAR, 2014! 

Vintage Finds

I have fallen deeply in love with a vintage fur coat. The sleeves are cashmere wool  (squeal!) and they are detachable so it can be worn as a vest as well. It has to be my best buy this year! I'm so giddy every time I have it all...

Oh wait... I guess you have noticed I snipped 8inches off my hair and have gone lighter. I am loving my short do. It makes me feel amazingly fresh. 

Heartless Revival

I have been extremely blessed to have worked with the talented Autumn Lin K. of Heartless Revival. Autumn is apart of the new show Style to Rock and designs the most innovative zipper pieces. I came out to support her at the opening of Joan Shepp a couple of weeks ago before chopping my hair off!

Day After the Photo Shoot

The day after the photo shoot is almost as busy as the day of. Following the shoot, I have to return all of the pulls! My stops can include jewelry stores to boutiques and designers. Though it makes for a busy return day it is always nice to be able to catch up and talk about how I styled the clothing and accessories! And doing a little shopping does not hurt either! :)

Behind The Scene

Hey hey! 

I swear I have been busy. To prove it, I thought I'd share some behind the scene pictures! Last weekend I styled some looks for designer, Kristin Vosbeck in Brooklyn modeled by the beautiful Alexandra and photographed by Suni Sulivan. I swear models have pretty tough jobs! It was freezing and Alexandra manage to pose in summer dresses, 4 inch heels that were too small and did it all with a smile! 

Batman in Track Pants

Hey guys, 

I have been under the weather and slept all day today. Pooh, thankfully I think that did it! I’m feeling much better now. I know the updates have been sparse, but my professionally life has been busy! Yes, it has been amazingly busy. I just got some of my photographs published in CoCo Magazine. I even interviewed with InStyle Magazine last week.

Fall into Fall: A Blogger Event

This past Friday, I co-hosted a blogger event with Sabir of Men's Style Pro. It was a social networking event for local bloggers and the boutique also held trunk shows for local designers, LeLe Tran, Common Wealth Proper (a custom tailored suit company), and IX Style (a sandal company that has been featured in Vogue amongst other well know magazines and publications).

LeLe Tran wearing one of beautiful customizable scarves! I will introduce them to you in an upcoming post. Here she is wearing the scarf as a waist band!

Boyfriend Jeans

Boyfriend Jeans have been a staple in my wardrobe for the last several season! Not only are they more comfortable than a pair of skinnies but they can make a outfit look relaxed and effortless. As I mentioned, my rule of thumb when dressing in the morning is typically pairing opposites. Since the boyfriends jeans have a more relax feel, I paired the look with a tailored and texturized blazer. I almost never match shoes with what I am wear but somehow the brocade blazer and pumps matched each other perfectly, of course I broke up the matchy-matchy-ness with a stripe shirt. 

DIY Floral Sequins Skirt

This summer I finally bought something at a thrift store that I remade. Have you ever bought things that were maybe too big or weren't just right? You just tell yourself  "I'll fix it!" Well I always do that! I buy clothes on sale or at the thrift store that are too cheap to pass up and then they just end up in my pile of things to bring to the tailor or things I should alter myself and it just never happens!!! So I was so proud of myself this summer when I purchased this skirt, which initially, was a giant dress for $25 dollars and snipped it the same day. I think that's what I need to do! Promise myself that I have to do it the day of or things just fall into the "pile of doom". The top half is going to be a crop top, but I have yet to come around to it.

Stich Prism and Clover

Hey Guys, Happy Autumn!

I shoot this look a few weeks ago when the it was still summer and warm. :( But this outfit can work by adding some layers, like a light jacket or blazer. Autumn is one of my favorite season because it’s the best time for layering. It is especially easy to transition summer dresses by add items like a leather jacket (mine is coming in the mail, yay!) a chunky scarf and a pair of boots, knee highs or booties! And of course Autumn also means pumpkin and apple picking, hot drinks and dressing up for Halloween. 

What is your favorite part about Autumn?

White after Labor Day

Hey Guys,

I am so excited to announce that I have paired up with Musings of a Curvy Lady, Thamarr Guerrier for a new blog. Thamarr and I both went to nursing school together and outside of hours of studying and clinical, we shared our love for fashion. We started "In Her Jeans” as a way to reconnect and to prove that fashion can be fun regardless of size. In Her Jeans, will feature how different body types can style trends and silhouettes while proving that you don’t have to be a size 2 or be a 5’9" model. Thamarr and I have completely different body shapes, so for all of the ladies out there (friends included) that tell me “you pull that look off because you are so petite” I hope IN HER JEANS will prove, you can Style Petites and Curvy Confidently. 

Please check out our blog for more pictures and details - In Her Jeans

I am a STYLIST and a NURSE!

Practicing my notes! 

I would have never imagined 5 years ago when I started as a nurse I would stand in front of a large audience at a Simon Mall and present fall trends. (Especially, since one of my biggest fears IN LIFE is public speaking) Two years ago I struggled with the idea of following my lifelong dream of pursuing a career in fashion. Only a little over a year ago I started this blog and under 6 months that I would no longer be a full time nurse and take on the fashion world.
