OOTD: Circle Skirts and Polka Dots

Hello Darlings,

I am back for another Outfit of the Day, and this one is by far the most special, grab your keyboards lovelies....

Today I got offered the Sales Associate position at Forever21! I am so excited! To honor my second interview at my first retail job I decided to show my funky, trendy personal style with a jean vest tucked inside an American Apparel circle skirt. To add to the quirky nature of my interview outfit, I decided to put on these polka dot socks from Forever21, what a coincidence. This was a great day, so I decided to jazz up my fit to show my personal flair for fashion. 

There will be so many things coming up at the end of the month and June, so stay tuned my faithful followers!

CRB Does Forever21 Interview :)

Hello My Faithful Followers! 

 Today was a wonderful day in the Queen City! I had my first job interview for the summer at, you guessed it, Forever21! I attended their job fair at 10 this morning. It was quite the experience waiting in line to showcase my personal style is just a few minutes. I was in front of a crowd, but I was not nervous. I was there to sell my knowledge of fashion and my ability to style and stay in tune with fashion trends. I actually quite enjoyed the experience and I got called back for my second interview Monday at 10A.M.! I am beyond excited! I was hesitant about what to wear but Jenn and Sarah from Clothes Encounters were a huge help with their video Modern Job Interview Outfits and Tips.

This Video is amazing! After watching this video I came up with this outfit.

I am so excited to finally share Classic.Raw.Beauty. with YouTube officially, and not just randomly record videos on there, but to have audience on both the video and blog fronts. I would love for you ladies to check out and subscribe to my channel:

OOTD: Simple and Casual

Hello Darlings!

I'm back with an OOTD! Happy Mother's Day to all those awesome women out there! 

On this not so shiny day in Charlotte, my family and I ran errands for my sister in law for Sunday Dinner. To accommodate this terrible, gloomy weather, I threw on my Torrid Safari Jacket and American Apparel White Skirt! This was the perfect casual outfit that made up for this iffy weather in North Carolina!

What do you think ladies? Simple and casual.

CRB: Walks the Runway

Hello My Faithful Followers,

So I'm finally out of school for the summer so I have a lot of time to dedicate to Classic.Raw.Beauty.! This past Thursday I had the wonderful opportunity to walk in a Sadity Kitty Fashion show! It was my second time walking for this boutique so it felt like second nature to me :)

The Printed Top is from Sadity Kitty and the body con skirt was purchased from Forever21, and the funky earrings are from GoJane! I plan on having weekly posts again! Especially since I have my master photographer at home, my gorgeous ten-year-old niece.

CRB Does Natural Hairspiration

Hello Lovelies!! 

So lately I have been in tune with my natural hair these past couple of months! Being a naturally curly chick is the best part of being me! I love my hair and the different things I can do with my hair!

These wonderful ladies, Shanti and Antoinette, are two natural hair pioneers that I just recently found on the natural hair and lifestyle site: Urban Bush Babes (an incredible site that I frequent weekly!) Shanti and Antoninette are the head bloggers of their natural hair and lifestyle blog called: Around the Way Curls (fun right? indeed it is)! I have been watching their videos for the past two days now, and I have gotten so inspired to wear my hair up, down, wrapped, and just simply curly! 

This hair style was inspired by Shanti's Side Roll Updo Tutorial:

What do you ladies think? Cute right! I love it!

CRB Does Summer 2012

Hello Lovelies!

I am way past due for an update! The semester is winding down ( and I am so thankful) and finals are underway (not so thankful for that lol), but my summer is starting to fall in place! I am super excited! I will be in the New Jersey and New York area for the entire summer until August! I have a fashion internship in the city (which is still in the making) and I will be working with great friends this summer! Along with interning and working, I plan on traveling a lot and networking even more! 

So the first event that I plan on going to is the Curl Daze Event in Manhattan at Stash Lounge. It is a natural hair meetup/party and I am super excited! The event is free, so come out and support the ladies of Around the Way Curls ! 

Along with that, I plan on attending some Full Figured Fashion Week events! What runs the world? CURVES! I am super excited for June 13-16! This will be a wonderful time to dress up and network with fellow bloggers and fashionistas!! 

 As you ladies can tell, I am so geared up for the summer! I have many more trips up my sleeve, but these are my main ones to far!! What are your summer plans ladies?
