The Beginning

Welcome to corStyle. My name is Corinna and my mission for this blog is to create a fashion space that is the essence of what I am, what I love and what I find a great deal of passion in. I want this space to incorporate my business, corStyle along with the ability to help women look and feel their best with simple tips and tricks. Above all, I want this to be a fun and creative fashion space.

Let me start at the beginning. When I graduated from college, I searched and searched for a job that could utilize my degree. To my dismay, there wasn't much available as we were in the middle of the recession. I decided to use my previous skills and take a reception job so I could stop waitressing. I met the most wonderful people at this office job, but noticed a striking similarity amongst the women. A vast majority kept mentioning that they wanted a style overhaul and that their wardrobes needed updating. This got me thinking and thus corStyle was born.

 I started with a few friends, coworkers and my lovely Aunt. They all allowed me into their closets to see what we could donate to charity and what we could repurpose into new outfits. The next phase of corStyle is the personal styling aspect. This is the best part of the entire experience for both parties. I  recommend outfits that may be out of the clients comfort zone and I get to see their faces light up with confidence as they realize how amazing they look.

Flash Forward to present day. I have been able to rethink and refocus my energy on what is important in a career to me. I realized that if I could not only style clients but also write about fashion and focus my energy to more of a creative space, it would make my soul so happy. Thus, my hunt for creative happiness has begun!

As this is my first attempt and entrance into the blogging world I really hope to do fun things in this forum! I have a bunch of great ideas and I am looking forward to seeing them unfold.

If anyone is interested in wardrobe refreshing, please email me at corStyle1@gmail.com

Wedding Wednesday- Best Dresses to Wear to a Summer Wedding

Wedding season is upon us and if your like me, you have just started going to all the weddings of the season! My inspiration for this post came from  Elle Magazine . They did an amazing article on the best looks to wear to a wedding and it got me thinking about wanting to give my readers some tips and highlight a few looks for these special days. Weddings are a lot of fun to go to and you always want to look your best for when you are seeing your friends and family! Here are a few rules to get you started: 1) No cream or white-- Please do not be that one person all the others are giving dirty looks to because you wore an all white look to a wedding. I think having cream or white come through in your look in some way is totally great, especially in these summer months. However, just don't have your entire dress be white. I have seen this done before and its not well received. 2) Pay attention to what the invitation says the attire will be-- If the invitation says blac...

Trendy Festival Wear - 2016

Hello there to my favorite readers! Festival season is now officially upon us. One thing I noticed this year is that the fashion retailers are advertising specifically to the festival goer, making it easier than ever to find your perfect look. It doesn't seem like it has changed too much since last year, besides there is even more of a 70's vibe mixed with the 90's in these looks. However, we still have the obvious staples -- the  headbands, the crop tops and the ripped jeans. Lets dive right into some of the best festival looks this season and how they can transition into your summer wardrobe and beyond! Grecian style shoes . I mean, perfection. I mean, say no more! These shorts ,some denim, a big hat and a choker! Your comfy and trendy! Georgy Georg bright colored dress . Pompom Playsuit . Need it! PS, is playsuit the new word for romper!? Braided headband!? I want it and Im not going to a festival! Obsessed with this v...

Dressing Diaries- ASOS Sheath Dress

It's about that time to start another reoccurring series entitled Dressing Diaries . I thought it would be fun to give you a peak into how I style myself and how some of my favorite looks come together. Start of dressing process:  Very late at night, the day before an event (nothing like a fair amount of procrastination), I always ask my sweet  fiancĂ©   to take a picture of my outfit. By the time I get to the pictures, I have narrowed down the look to two or three different choices. PS- this is a really good tip if you haven't tried it before.  I know that sounds funny, but in todays world where there are so many pictures taken its important for you to be able to visualize the final look so you aren't left disappointed. It is also good to be able to see what shoes look best and what accessories complete the ensemble.  Completion of dressing process : I went with nude lace up heels (you can find something similar to purchase here ) and opted...
