Fox 45 Morning News Parenting Products Segment

On Wednesday February 19, 2014 I was asked to host a lifestyle segment with Fox 45 Baltimore News Station. This was a wonderful experience because I was able to talk about a topic that’s close to my heart (mommy products) and visit the news station for the first time.

I also had the opportunity to chit chat with a few of the ladies who are “expecting” and gave a few product recommendations.  Overall, I enjoyed sharing information about the three “mommy” products and currently preparing for my next upcoming segment. 

 Decided to wear pearl earrings, fuchsia blouse and black leggings for the segment. The photo below is a picture of my favorite floral pumps purchased from Target.  Please visit my instagram  account (@kwest1908) to view this look…

 

The Coveteur features Style Icon Rachel Zoe’s Personal Closet: New Year Inspiration

While catching up on one of my favorite fashion blogs The Coveteur I ran across style icon Rachel Zoe’s personal closet.

If you’re fashion obsessed such as myself, you generally love anything that’s associated with the “Zoe” brand.

Rachel Zoe is not only witty but she’s super talented and surrounds herself with a dedicated team.  I think there’s something to be learned (from her) by anyone who’s aspiring to work in the fashion industry.

Because we are bringing in a New Year with fresh goals and aspirations, this is the perfect time to organize our closets.  Come on ladies, it’s time to let go of that old sweater and suede boots from three years ago!

In honor of fashion girls who are bringing in the new year with style, I want to feature a few of our favorite celebrity closets.  Hopefully the photos will inspire us all to get “get rid of old clutter!”
