One Year Anniversary On The Blog!

Happy One Year Anniversary to my blog, Miss Renaaye, Let's Talk Fashion!

In honor of my one year anniversary of "Let's Talk Fashion", I thought it would be perfect to have an outfit photo shoot session with a local photographer. I'm very fortunate to have found a talented photographer who is able to express my style in her work. I had the pleasure of working with Dana last week. Dana works with many different clients such as weddings, engagements, baby photos, etc. Please check out her blog which includes her beautiful work!

With spring just around the corner, I wanted to incorporate some spring colors. I found this amazing mint cross body handbag at target. It is extremely practical for someone on the go like myself. It is perfect for fitting my lipstick, small wallet and iPhone. In addition, my ankle jeans are my new favorite! They are comfortable and fit a little loose on me (which allows more comfort!). The bleached design on the denim reminds me of "hello spring." To dress up the outfit a bit, I wore the one and only cute Ravesh Pumps by Steve Madden. These heels are a great signature piece to complete this outfit.

I love colors. I dressed up my fingers with medi-rings and oval shaped nails. This is my first time with oval nails. I thought I'd try out something new for the new year!

Outfit of the Day: Spring 2014

Hey Loves! I thought it would be fun and different to post an OOTD video instead of taking pics. Let me know what you think! I tried keeping it short and simple..I didn't want to bore anyone! Check it Out and stay tuned for more OOTD short videos =)

So who's ready for the big football game!?? I'm so happy for my home team, San Francisco 49ers! They've been playing so good lately and i'm really looking forward to them beating the Seahawks! Haha! Go Niners! Happy Sunday!

Bow Shorts

>>>>>>>>>>>>Good Day Loves!

It's officially fall! It's also time to dress cozy and warm! I've always been a fan of shorts in the fall/winter. It's fun combining them with colored tights and boots. My favorite look are printed shorts {like these adorable LC bow printed ones}. I paired the outfit with a soft infinity scarf from fabulous Target. Not too mention the lovely shorts were designed by my favorite gal LC (Lauren Conrad).....

Meet Your Personal Banker in Style

Hello Gorgeous readers! I know it's been somewhat of a while since I've been a part of the blogging world. First of all, I apologize! I have been extremely busy with work and a full-time job. I'm a banker for one of the biggest banks in the nation and a part-time student (as of the end of last month). School has been interesting and challenging. But other than school, I of course have to work to keep up with my expenses (although I'd love to work part-time one of these days). I wanted to share what I would wear on a typical day of work. I have always believed in the phrase, "Dress to Impress." Looking sharp on the job is important! Why? Because if you want people to take you seriously, you have to look like your care about your appearance.

I have some excited news! I'll be turning the big 30 in just 8 days. Omigoodness time does fly. Jason and I will be taking a trip to Gorgeous Napa. On my birthday morning i'll be waking up in Wine country, Napa, heaven. Yes i'm so blessed! And yes! I'll take many pictures and post about it ..stay tuned...:)

The Non-Traditional College Student =)

Hey Loves! I'm so happy to say i'll be starting school this Tuesday. Yippie! As a "Non-Traditional" College Student, I'm prepared for this new chapter in my life. It's not uncommon for the "Non-Traditional" College Student like myself to be still attending school after the age of 22 (so really it's okay if you're just like me trying to complete your degree after the "traditional" college age! You're never too old right?). I have a wonderful career at the moment as a "Personal Banker" for one of the largest Banks in the Nation (for personal reasons, I will not state what Bank it is...haha). However, this position is not my dream job. My dream job is to have my own business (clothing line, clothing store, etc). There was once a time in my early years when I was considered the "Traditional" College student. I attended school with a goal to achieve a degree in Business. Working Part-time, I was offered a position to move up in my company, so of course I greatly accepted the opportunity. I took a break from school ("break" sounds so much better than college drop-out), and continued to work full time. Lost track of time and then it hit me. I never completed my goal to achieve my Bachelors degree =( So I have decided...No more sad faces...It's time to achieve my dreams. But this time, it will be much different. Driving in a completely different direction than business or banking (the industry I currently work in), I've decided to listen to my intuition and go for what I truly am passionate about: Fashion. For the past year, I have been researching my options. There are so many pricey Art Institutes in my area. All they want to do is take my money! It's horrible how much they charge the students attending their school's program. Good news is Sacramento State University offers Marketing Apparel & Design. I was thrilled when I found this out. Effective Spring 2014, I will be attending Sac State Full-time in this major. In the meantime, I'm taking 3 courses at a well known community college. The courses I am taking are transferable to Sac State (yay!). More good news! This month I made my last car payment (such a relief!). Therefore, more money to save! My Boss is so wonderful working around my school schedule. A lot to look forward to in the next months and upcoming year! I'm so grateful!

I decided to post a look i'd wear on my first day of school. Amy from Classy In the Classroom recently posted a post about what to wear on our first day of school. Whether you are a student or a teacher (like Miss Amy) you should always have your first day of school outfit set :).

The Back Pack was given to me for free at a work event. I had my heart set on a designer back pack but when you're a college student (broke or rich) a back pack is a back pack! lol anything that will hold your binder and notebook will do! So no need for anything fancy

Lately I haven't been purchasing lots of clothes (I'm attempting to budget like a college student should). When school starts, I will be committed to homework and studying. I hope to work on my blog at least once a week. But I can't promise anything. School will be my top priority!

I recently purchased an adorable inspired Kate Spade Bow from Etsy - Betty Bows It's so girly. Big hair bows are great to wear to a girly event (baby shower, bridal shower, etc.)

I love projects that require me to express my creative side. Jason and I were given this old fashioned wine cart about one year ago. We always had it put away because it seems a bit old school. After attending a big antique show with my mom, I was inspired to paint it white and decorate it with outdoor decor. I'm so proud of the way it turned out :)

Well that's it for now. I hope everyone has a fabulous week!

Hello Fab!

Hello lovely readers!

HelloFab has this pretty lavender colorblock maxi dress on sale! Last I checked they still had all sizes in stock. This lavender color is so soft and summery! Maxi dresses are great because you can wear them to almost any occasion (plus they are also so comfty!) I figure I better wear this dress soon since we are in the "near-end summer" season (which makes me a little sad because I LOVE summer time!)

I've spent this past week working and preparing for my first "Designer Challenge." The event takes place August 9th, 8 PM, downtown Sacramento at local cafe called "Cafe Connection." I have my fashion concept down and accessories ready. Only thing that must be completed is a "practice hair" and "make-up" session with my model (which will be happening in the next few days). Being judged based on originality, creativity, quality, and so on....feels somewhat competitive. A little competition is right up my alley! I guess you can say i'm ready for this pressure (oh yes and please wish me luck!)

Target does it again. Found these remarkable sunnies recently.

I never do this but I happened to walk by the little girls section of Target after work yesterday. I spotted an adorable polka dot jean button up. I thought, "Why can't Target make this in woman's?". I looked at the extra large and thought "Hey this would fit me" haha. I know this may sound silly but I purchased the top in extra large for myself! and guess what?! it fits fine! So here I am below wearing the little girls top I purchased @ Target for $14.99. How funny right? :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did you know the color yellow represents cheerfulness, intellect, energy, and joy? In many cases, the color Yellow is so vibrant & creates so much positive energy! When my co-worker asked me if I'd be interested in buying a yellow blazer from her that didn't fit the person she bought it for as a gift of course I said yes! The color yellow & me are Best Friends! I don't own that much yellow, but the pieces I do own are my favorite. My co-worker said she found this blazer at Macy's on sale for only $15. I paired this bright blazer with a jean top & white chiffon dress I recently purchased @ sfl.

Bought this necklace and matching earrings at Target for only $9 on sale! what a deal

S h o e s.

BCBG Generation Jewel Sandals. These sandals remind me of Jasmine from Aladdin for some reason (must be the jewels) Pretty little things...bought them 3 years ago but I've kept them in good condition since then.

Enjoyed my day off preparing for a camping trip we are having this weekend! So much to pack and remember about when going camping...mosquito spray, lanterns, camping stove, paper plates and cups, etc...! I'm looking forward to a weekend of fun in the sun at the lake!
