Look Who's Shopping at Ally B!
Just for fun, I've decided to introduce a few people that come by with a few entertaining questions. I use to read a fashion magazine that had something like this on the last page of every issue and it was my favorite page to read!
So, meet Emily! She stops by every now and again when she is in town from one of her many "gigs" in New York or Vegas or wherever it is she may be. She is always so much fun and happy! You can tell she is genuinely glad to be home and visiting all around Thomasville. We love when Emily gets a chance to stop by!
Favorite Designers: I am madly in love with Micheal Kors! He can do no wrong!!!! I am a fan of Betsy Johnson, Pucci, Marc Jacobs and Christian Louboutin
Item you can't live without: LEGGINGS!!!!!!!!!! I've grown up in leggings all my life since I'm a dancer and I think nothing is better! Spandex is the best! And all my friends know I can't live without GOLD! I'm like a bird ....I love shinny things! Gold jewelry, gold bags, gold shoes!!!!!
Who do I look to for style? My mom has always had great style. She always looks gorgeous and still takes risks like wearing animal print, statement jewelry and leather. I always get in trouble when I come home because I try to steal her accessories (She has the best belts!!!!)
Last Splurge: My Michael Kors Gold Purse. I convinced myself to buy it by saying I could double it as a dance bag (which I totally can not. It's not big enough). But I use it daily and I still adore it.
Last Steal: Oh I'm so excited about this one. I love Motorcycle boots and wanted some FRYE boots. Right before I was about to buy some I was in Tallahassee with mom and found the EXACT kind in Target. So instead of spending $300 I got them for $48!!!! THEY ARE PERFECT!
Favorite item I own: My first pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. They were a gift from my boyfriend for my Opening Night. He surprised me with a box from Neiman Marcus with a note saying these were for the red carpet to go with my dress. So thoughtful and so unexpected. (AND THEY WERE GOLD!)
Favorite Jewelry: I got a name plate made that said Loftiss. I wore it several times a week but lost it a few months ago. I'm definitely getting a new one made. It was my favorite!!!!!!!!!!
Best Fashion Advice Received: Don't worry about sizes. I was told once to cut the size out of my clothes. What mattes is the fit of the outfit. If one pair of jeans are bigger than usual...who cares? If you look at the size and it puts you in a bad mood....CUT IT OUT!
Favorite Thing To Do In Thomasville: My #1 favorite thing to do is visit with friends. I was so lucky to grow up in Thomasville where I have a million mamas and daddies that claim me. I spend most of my days running place to place seeing the people that have known me my entire life. I feel so blessed.
Dress Me Up: I LIVE FOR DRESSING UP! Nothing makes me happier than getting all dolled up with dramatic make-up, heels and a knockout dress. I have more dress up clothes than casual clothes. I'm kinda known for always being overly dressed
Dress Me Down: My casual look is leggings and a tank top. I'll add a scarf and some gold jewelry and call it a day.
Beauty Advise: Befriend some bronzer! It's the easiest way to look more awake and happy. I can't live without it! It's definitely more important than blush.
My Passions: Performing. If I wasn't completely passionate about performing I would have never moved to New York and made this my career. It is such an up and down career but I just couldn't imagine doing anything else. I was born to perform.
I am guilty of: Being a complete romantic. I love poems, sappy movies, pet names, Hallmark commercials, love notes. My friends are always amazed how gushy I am. I can't help it...I'M A LOVER!!!!
What can people learn from me? I truly try to be a positive person. I feel like it's so easy to be negative that I consciously choose to think good thoughts about life. My friends call me to pick them up when they are down. It makes me proud to think that I'm that positive person to so many people.
What type of music do I like? I like all types. From hip-hop to alternative, classical to the blues. I've danced or choreographed to every type of music there is. But nothing makes my heart happier than Country. I like to run to Country music. I would secretly love to be a VJ!
Something Most People Don’t Know About Me: That I have a pageant business!!!!! I was 2nd runner up Miss Georgia and have all this knowledge about competing. I get the most pleasure out of training young women for Miss America and Miss USA. I get so excited when my girls compete and do well. I'm like a proud mama!
