I Wear My Sunglasses at Night.

love, love, love my Free People Sweater, cant wait to pair it  with many things this fall!!

Red Hot Wedges!!!!! from Wild Pair. Wedges are my favorite  go to shoe for an all day shift at  the boutique!

HEELS, HEELS, HEELS, A MUST....I DON'T EVEN OWN A PAIR OF FLATS!!!, Well flip flops maybe........

Something old something new, always a classic combination, great for my brunch date!!

Philthy Ragz signature tee!! a great piece to complete any outfit!!!!  

vintage skirt, paired with a coral leather jacket. The jacket was the first gift I ever received from my husband, well he was my boyfriend then lol, seven years ago!!! Some things are just timeless!!! Feel free to choose relationships or leather jackets, lol!!!!!!

I'd decided a while ago to start a blog but my super hectic schedule, mixed with a little procrastination, lol, wouldn't permit! But  as I keep living I keep learning, and there's no more space  to contain all that I've lived and all that I am still learning and improving....so sharing is the only natural progression I could see! In this  space we'll explore, inspire and of course make sure our fashion game is tight and RIGHT!!!  Be assured my expressions will be real...I think there's no other way to be..as my oldest daughter Shianne says, it gets real in these streets!!  So.... a little about me I own the boutique Philthy Ragz, quaintly nestled adjacent to the LaDera Heights region of Los Angeles.....there I design and sell clothes that speak without my customer having to utter a word when she walks into the room.  Our designs have been said to give  an inner confidence and the audacity to be sassy at any age! I am  also the buyer as well as the style expert.  Philthy Ragz has become a style haven where women feel comfortable to explore new styles,  indulge in great conversation, vent and get their dose of retail therapy, hence I've been tagged the RETAIL THERAPYST.

 I have five girls, yes five girls, married, Christian, love art, music, SHOES, vintage and thrift shopping, I nicknamed it treasure hunting!!, I love being amongst the company of  family and friends.  I am eclectic and sometimes eccentric, but definitely not over the top...I  LOVE DANCING AND HAVING FUN and as I am getting to be a woman of a certain age (tag Trissa, lol)  I am looking forward to traveling more.  I LOVE BEING CREATIVE  and making something out of nothing.....I could literally be in a room for hours just doing creative things....being alone is also very important to me......I am on a continuous momentum to  inspire women to see the beauty in their journey, by inspiring them to see their journey whether painful or playful not as a flaw or a weakness, but as a beauty mark, a time in their lives when their character was tested and developed, leaving them with the  mark of definition and strength, their beauty mark.  I am fearless, tenacious and relentless, as my kids say, I go hard in the paint!!!! 

While my hips may not suggest that I'm the typical fashionista found gracing the cover of VOGUE or ELLE, I still wear it all!  according to what suits my mood, inspiration and the event.... I consider myself a mixologists of fashion trends and genres.  I LOVE INFUSING GENRES together and making ensembles that make statements, from simple to glamorous but never over spoken.

Perfect for the boutique, stylish harem pants, ( which I love!!) being stylishly comfortable is priority!!! Vintage jean jacket stolen (oooops borrowed! lol) from my daughters closet!!!

Transformed to a night time outfit with a quick  change of jackets, switching up the accessories, adding a vintage clutch and of course change of shoe!!! 

After a long day of meeting with the  production company, choosing fabric, cutting and sewing,  a  photo shoot,  being a mommy, wife and  the retail therapyst, its my time!!!!! Yeah for  Happy hour with the Girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't be afraid to mix patterns and prints, being matchy matchy  is out!!!! you are creating an ensemble, not  selecting bridesmaids dresses!!!

Steve Madden glasses and shoes........hot stuff right!?!?!

When it comes to fashion and style I am the top sales agent/advocate for staying true to the AUTHENTIC YOU.  I don't believe that any ones style should be a reflection of the opinions of others.....Style is an outward expression of the inner you which is relative to your experiences and exposures, AND IT CANT BE BOUGHT, BITTEN OR LOANED.Dare to be you explore, don't dress out of a box, do something different. I would wear sunglasses at night if i thought it was the final touch to my ensemble!!!!! neverafraidtobeme.com

So keep up with me and share the spot as i aspire to give you a dose of life. style and inspiration all in the name of fashion!!!!!
