 Hello fabulous Stylistas! TGYF! (THANK GOD YOU'RE FABULOUS!) Hope you all had a productive week and have some posh plans for the weekend :)
Onto a "personal" tip, I was just wondering how many of you know that I offer personal shopping services? Need help finding an outfit for a special event? Want to update your wardrobe with pops of color, vintage style or some new trends? Here is a little information about just what I offer:
SIMPLE & CONVENIENT
Shopping is something I enjoy doing because I love visuals and putting outfits together ;) However, sometimes it can be a bit of a tedious task for some women who do not enjoy the shopping experience and just want "the exact items the mannequin has on." There are also some of us who do not want to "display" every inch of our curves. I'm of the belief that yes, there is a way to dress modestly and be sexy. No such thing you say? Well allow me the opportunity to share my personal styling tips to help you create "The Look."
THE BASICS
The first thing I do is "consult" with you. When someone initially contacts me to inquire about my styling services, I send them an email questionnaire to get to know their likes and dislikes. My personal shopping for you is just that, its personal. I never style two people the same way because each of us have unique personalities. Pink may be my signature color, but you may like aquamarine, which looks wretched on me! I tailor my service to meet your needs.
RATES
I charge a rate of $50 an hour (there is a minimum two hour shopping window) which includes travel time, shipping, packaging and pictures of the purchased item(s). If something needs to be returned, I will do one free return and send you pictures of the new item(s). Any additional returns are $25 each.
PAYMENT
Depending upon how many items you request for me to purchase, for example, if someone wanted $100 worth of blouses I would tell them how many they could get for a $100, along with how long it would take if they required me to get them all from the same store or if something was needed for a special occasion and I had to go to several stores.
This way I can set my fee, as well as how much you want me to spend on clothing, accessories, shoes, etc. and send you an invoice via email. You can either submit your payment through PayPal or send me a check.
So allow me to help you and don't forget to tell a friend!
To contact me for a personal shopping appointment email me at [email protected]
Thank you for your ongoing support! I appreciate you!

Hello Luvs! Hope the start to your work week was stylish & productive! If you are on my FB page, Farah Andrea ChicMix, you will know that I started a new giveaway yesterday, the Satin Hands set from Mary Kay. The lovely rep from Mary Kay is ironically named Farah! I located her on instagram and we started chatting, because we had two things in common, our names of course and the love of everything beauty & fashion related. Farah contacted me regarding doing a giveaway of some of the Mary Kay products that she sells and I was all for it. There's an added bonus to collaborating with her to do the Mary Kay giveaways, she also carries men's products, a plus if you want to enter the giveaway to give that "special someone" or family member a gift. I have a few male readers and followers on FB who have asked me, where are the "dude" giveaways?!
So I asked Farah how she became involved with selling Mary Kay and she said " I was introduced to the business a year ago while I was still in school. I was shopping at H&M and my now director approached me. I love make up and skin care, so starting up was a no brainer for me." From our communications, I can tell that Miss Farah is an ambitious, driven, dedicated, professional young woman with an amazing personality! She's super nice y'all! She is offering a 10% discount of any first time purchase, made on her website, of $40 or more to my all readers and followers on my FB page. Shipping & handling is free!
Kindly check out her site for all your Mary Kay needs! www.marykay.com/fseverin.
For those of you who may not have heard of "Satin Hands", here's a brief description that Farah sent me:
"The satin hands is excellent for removing dead skin cells on the hands and feet. It's a three step kit. There is a softener which helps prep the skin for exfoliation. Then to ensure the hands and/or feet are moisturized the peach scented lotion is the last step. This set is perfect for anyone who enjoys pampering themselves at home".
So luvs, visit my Facebook page, Farah Andrea ChicMix, click "like" (if you haven't already) check out the giveaway pic and follow the giveaway entry rules for your chance to win! THIS GIVEAWAY ENDS AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT!!!
As always, thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy the sunshine (even on the cloudy days)

Hello Stylistas! How y'all doing in the heat-wave??? What are some of the ways you are trying to stay cool? I've opened this post up to present topics for open discussion. As I mentioned in my previous post, when I started this website back in May, one of the things I created it to be is an interactive forum to discuss topics that would be of interest to my readers.
So tell me what holds your interest? What would you like to read more about? What fashion trends, beauty or health topics are of interest to you right now? How are you liking the giveaways I've been hosting?
I'm taking a poll, what should the next giveaway (August) item be? Beauty samples?
Random accessories? Iphone case? Gift card? Hmmmm! Let me know your thouughts.
Let me also take a moment to thank you for stopping by and being one of my readers! I appreciate you! Especially when there are so many other bloggers in the "blogosphere"!
And I'm off! On my way to get ready for a bridal shower (no. not mine...but one day!)
So Luvs, I do hope to keep you interested ;)
Don't forget to comment below with your suggestions or questions. Every comment will receive a reply ;)
Remember:
Enjoy the Sunshine (even on the cloudy days!)

 Hello luvs! I hope everyone had a spectacular 4th of July! For those of you who have the rest of the week off...lucky!!! For you dolls like me who had to go back to work after the holiday...well at least tomorrow is Friday!
Now if you are affiliated with me on FB, you know about the giveaway I'm currently hosting. I call it "Spa Bliss" because it's beauty relevant and the fragrance of the bath set is truly reminiscent of being at a spa. I'm not a citrusy type of
girl...however, this scent is not overbearing (it doesn't smell like Tropicana OJ or Ruby Red Grapefruits) it has a light citrus/floral aroma. I've personally used bath products from Avon and I like them. This line is called Avon Naturals.
The shower gel produces lots of lather and doesn't dry your skin. The lotion leaves a silky feel to your skin and the mist doesn't have that heavy alcohol "sting" to it.
The sponsor for this giveaway is Avon through one of their Reps, Nichole Laverne. Nichole is an independent beauty consultant for Avon and she has been selling their products for the past couple of years. I know her personally (forever and a day) and she's the sweetest, most genuine
down to earth person around!
So, if you happen to be the lucky winner of this giveaway and are interested in looking for additional Avon products to purchase, or just have general beauty questions about which products may be right for you, check out Nichole Laverne's page on Facebook.
Good luck loves!
Enjoy the Sunshine! (even on the cloudy days)

Hello loves! This is a quick late night post (as I just needed to type to clear my mind). Well, as I'm always on the lookout for new things for you ladies, I wanted to tell you about Birchbox. I'm sure some of you know about it. Its a website where you subscribe for a monthly box and you get full sized samples of new products to try! The subscription costs $10 per month and you can cancel it at anytime. They also give you points to use in their online store to purchase any of the items that come in your box, and you get points when you refer friends (hint, hint go check it out!). Your box comes personalized to your specific beauty needs. There is a beauty profile on the website for you to complete for them to customize your box! I just signed up for my July box and I can't wait to see what goodies are inside!
I've posted the link here below. So if you are interested in trying out new products, check out Birchbox :)

 Saying Hello with a smile! Welcome to my random thoughts. I am pretty much freestyling this post, so there is no set topic to it. I wanted first to say THANK YOU to all of you who stop by just to browse, read or see what I have been up to. As many of you may or may not know, I started this blog journey in May of this year. I always had the passion to do something fashion related, but believe I am too shy to be a You Tube "vlogger" so I decided to give blogging a try. The competition is fierce!! But guess what? My God is BIGGER than the competition and He's actually taken me a different route! What I thought this website should be about, God has shown me something completely different and has given me a different strategy, that I am slowly working on. I feel blessed to have met so many different people on my "blog journey" I have also been blessed to be able to collaborate with so many different and unique boutiques to be able to host giveaways of trendy, fashion forward and fabulous items.
A word of encouragement to anyone out there who may be considering starting a blog or an online business, just go ahead and do it! Always remember that there is room for more than just one, and yes even though someone's blog or website may get looked at far more than yours does, it does not matter, just keep doing it because you enjoy doing it and watch God work things out in your favor! We all enhance each other in one way or the other. "One hand washes the other." Try washing your hands using just one hand and see just how clean it will get! Remember in order to get to the top, you have to start at the bottom. Never compare yourself or your talents with anyone else! God made you unique. You are not a carbon copy. Don't try so hard, but never give up either. And Never EVER beat yourself up, if it does not work the first time around. If at first you dont succeed...dust yourself off and try again! Never give up on your dreams or lose focus of the talents and gifts that God has placed in you. I'm not sure who needed to read this, but I felt it needed to be put out there :)
Lastly, if you don't know ths about me, here's one random thing...I LOVE UNIQUE EARRINGS!!! That being said, yesterday I went to the African Arts Festival in Brooklyn and I purchased the earrings shown in the picture above. What do you guys think? I LOVE THEM :)
Remember...
Comments are complimented :)
Enjoy the sunshine (even on the cloudy days)

Hello lovelies! Happy Sunday! I took a mini-break, but I'm back ;) On my "featured boutiques" page I mentioned a couple different online boutiques, that I recently came across for you ladies to check out for the latest accessories and fashions. As part of my researching, I've managed to get in surprises for y'all!! (I love giving presents!) Here's the news, so far two of the boutiques that I mentioned have collaborated with me to host giveaways!!! (PRESENTS!!)
Now this means you will have to be a daily reader to stay informed as to when the giveaways will take place. (That means check here, check Facebook and if you are on Instagram check there too!) You don't have to check all three daily, but check at least one because I will be posting daily!
If you check my facebook fan page (Farah Andrea ChicMix) you will see today's giveaway, sponsored by AmourXNYC.
AmourXNYC is based in St. Louis, MO and I've realized that St. Louis has some of the most bomb fashions and fashionistas. The owner of this online boutique is super sweet, has a professional business manner (I didn't have to wait until infinity and beyond to receive my package) is inspiring (we are sisters in Christ) and sells the best quality of goods. Y'all know I would not promote anything I would not personally wear or invest in. Below is a picture of what I purchased from AmourXNYC:  As you can see, this dress is so bomb! Most of her items come in "one size fits all" and they are true to fit.
When, I initially spoke to the owner of AmourXNYC about doing a giveaway, she was ecstatic! She sent me pics of items that are in her inventory that she has not even posted to her website yet! I made a selection and I was pleasantly surprised when I received the gift!
Above is a picture of the Giveaway item. Beautiful right? Fabulous? Yes!
So run over and check out this fab giveaway on my facebook page (Farah Andrea ChicMix).
It ends on July 4th!
Have fun! & Best wishes!!
xoxo ~ Farah Andrea
