I met Ronica years ago when we both worked at BCBG. I remember Ronica being this sweet and super supportive person, she knew of my dreams to pursue styling and jewelry design and always had an encouraging word. Now that we are both in different phases of our lives, I love to look on Facebook and see her beautiful family, her personal style, and how she is helping other women embrace style. She probably feels like I stalked her to get this post, but I knew she was someone I wanted to share with our readers because of her determination,radiating personality, and her awesome fashion sense. Read on and be inspired.

1. My take on fashion!
Fashion is being able to express yourself without any
words; it's letting the clothes speak for themselves. It's a collaboration of
life experiencing culture, and upbringing that developed through time, awarding
the forever great pieces by repeating your "look" in your personal
style, incorporating them no matter the changes in decades! It's experiencing
the good with the bad and learning from your mistakes through trial and error!
Fashion is forever changing and evolving. It's doing what feels good in the
moment and feeling liberated for not choosing to care on those days that you
feel good enough in your skin to not let the clothes define you!
2. Where I have been!
My very first
job in High School was working at Wilsons leather company. Looking back,
leather has since been a huge part of my wardrobe! I interned at Abercrombie n
Fitch in college and quickly learned how important the denim fit/wash is! Just
for the record-I could never fit in any of their jeans! Thank the lord for AG
and Paige jeans who understand that the rise on the backside is just as import
as the one in the front when you are dealing with curvy girls! I worked in
London, England as the Assistant to the Marketing Director of Liz Claiborne
Group and then moved to LA to freelance style and work for BCBG! I currently
reside in Palm Beach, Fl and have a second office in Aventura, where I am a
full time stylist and personal shopper for Bloomingdales!
3. I am passionate about.
I am passionate about awakening people! I'm in the
business of helping people to see the best versions of themselves! My job
always starts with a pep talk; highlighting what is great about their body and
what I am trying to achieve through their wardrobe. I have learned throughout
my years that the same dress on the same women in the same mirror can be
perceived differently depending on how they feel about themselves in that
moment! To be a great stylist you have to understand your clients' "deal breakers."
start slow to gain trust and once they acknowledge and accept that you are the
expert, you will be able to push the envelope and achieve greatness! Remember,
without the proper pep talk, the best looks created on the red carpet could
never exist! It's all about the confidence you're feeding them! Yes a shirt is
just a shirt but what matters is how you feel in it! Your boldness will speak
loud and clear! There will always be times when people are wearing the same
look, at the same event, but there can only be ONE who wore it best and I want
to be known as that person's stylist!
4. You can find me.
I love love love to thrift shop! I am inspired by the
journey of a polyester jacket that was made in Italy. It feels like I hit the
lottery for 10 billion when I leave with a two piece matching vest and pants
from the 70's! Especially when it looks like it was the main inspiration of Max
Mara's Spring campaign! It's confirmation that my style is ahead of times when
I find something great and look at the magazines months later and finds its
replica in the center pages! I find inspiration in NYC; the great big apple,
where the perfection of blended street style and modern designs can be found!
It inspires me to keep creating art with clothes and to never to stay in my
comfort zone. Always stay 10 steps ahead. And last but not least-keep sharing
my unique style & taste for life with all who come through my office!
