Tippies & trickies: market place know how
So last weekend I did my third etsy marketplace. It was a two day event and it was the best so far! 
I thought for this post I would give you tips and tricks into how to set up & decorate your booth... I only wish I had read something like this when I was first starting out! Instead I had tablecloths made out of bed sheets and burlap! (Because, you know, burlap will cover multitude of sins) Oy vey! My problem the first year was that I sweat the small stuff. But I wasn't detailed. I didn't have a plan. And I was unorganized. Fortunately for me, the first time I made a good size profit. But the second time I did it, I made just enough to cover the booth rental. Not good! The second time, my booth was so chaotic, I'm surprised people actually came into my booth! It was like something blew up! Terrible merchandising! I was so focused on making a profit, I wasn't thinking of the customer. I had bits and bobs but I didn't have the whole picture. But I needed to think LIKE the customer. I had to look at it through a different perspective.
And one of my favorite things to do is, when I'm out shopping, I like to look at anthropologie's, madewell's, small boutiques that I love the decor of, take not and added it to my to-do and possibly make something like it for a display.
When I'm shopping I like the racks to be neat and orderly. Not a chaotic explosion happening. I also like there to be a flow and a calm color palette!
I'm also intrigued with how other vendors decorate their booths. So I keep an eye out for that too!
This time around, I put some thought into it! (And money) which definitely helps!
But if you're on a budget, which I was too, don't get me wrong, I would invest in some of these things...
-Table cloths. Worth every penny! And those pennies weren't too pretty either, for 2 tablecloths that I can use over & over again only set me back $30! (That was with shipping included!) www.tableclothsfactory.com
-Banner with your business name on it. I actually had a chalkboard made for me. But you need something that greets your customers and onlookers and shows them who you are. But, I suggest you, A. Make a banner yourself B. get one off of vistaprint or C. Do what I did and invest in something you'll use again, whether it be a chalkboard, dry erase board, etc.
-Chairs. Chairs for you to sit on. I actually re-upholstered those ugly padded folding chairs, but you're more than welcome to use any chair. But you need a chair or two, to rest. Because most likely you'll be standing a long time on concrete flooring if you don't bring a chair... Ouch!
-Business cards. Best investment ever! For the customers you have and for the onlookers that say they'll be back. It's always nice to send them with your info in tow. Just in case... They don't make it back to your booth. I get mine from www.vistaprint.com
-Well made displays & accessories for those displays. So so important! I bought pegboard, then I had a large frame that I inherited from my grandpa, then I let my ever so clever brother in law, put it together for me and I bought the pegboard hangers, and that was probably one of the best ideas I've ever had! And my lovely friend Mary let me borrow her easel! Perfect! Also it's nice to have the perfect packaging. I ordered a stamp online that had my business name on it, then I used that for all of my packaging. So streamlined, organized & adorable.
Also, befriend your booth neighbors. They'll help you the most throughout the weekend! And also have friendly people working at your booth. Everybody likes a friendly face! And when you need to go potty the other person can watch your booth and vice versa...
I will say this, let Home Depot & hobby lobby be your friends. It'll help. Also think over the details. And imagine what you want your booth to look like and draw it out. Have a sketch of how you want you tables to be set up, where you want your displays to go and what not...
If you haven't noticed, I wanted my booth to have a touch of rustic, anthro vibe to it! And I definitely achieved it!
Oh and and I'd say, depending on how big your booth is, you should have 2-4 people help with set up & tear-down. It was perfection who helped me.
If you have any questions, you know where to find me! Just comment below or email me: maudecclothing@gmail.com : )

Style Fyle: my uniform
This is definitely an outfit I will partake in! The only things I do not have at the moment are: the tee, tan Chelsea boots & the transport bag. But it won't be long now. But I can totally see his as a "uniform" of sorts. I just bought a pair of black leather Chelsea boots. And I'll be getting/making the tee soon... And I put the bag on my Christmas/Birthday... So, isn't this such a cute outfit though?!
Black high-waisted skinny jeans & hi-lo baggy tee which you can tuck the shirt in front, or let it hang loose. Once you have the basics down, Then you can add on your accessories. Boots are a standard for fall. Sometimes winter. Then pick the bag you want. Then which I just saw this idea was to polish your nails in black or dark grey (Butter London Union Jack black & chimney sweep are my faves) and then add matte top coat to the nail color! Then add your lip color! (Favorite colors: Tarte lipsurgence in exposed and MAC rebel lip color)
Then, you can add a leather waterfall jacket or a cardigan.
And I've been liking my hair right now and I just like it to hangloose. But if I'm on 3 day hair, I may opt for a messy bun instead!
Let me know what your style uniform is!
Have a great week! -Ryn

Soul searcher and style find: favor & shoes!
Last week was such an amazing week! I have two stories that, I hope will encourage you! And I hope you know that I'm genuine about my faith & God. I'm not a hoity toity twerp that isn't. I'm real. But I will say this, favor is chasing me down and overtaking me & I'm all about having faith! I'm a faith cougar, when I see a need for someone or even myself, I pounce. I latch my faith onto theirs and we watch it come to pass!
{Here are the beauties}
So here goes!
The first one: Last Wednesday, I was running errands that day, so when I was getting ready, my mom came in, in a panic, her iPad was frozen after she just downloaded the new download to help with bugs & such, ios 7.02...Whatever it is! And you & I know that isn't good! We tried everything possible! We tried plugging it in, shutting it down... Everything! The one thing she didn't want to lose, were her pictures. She did NOT want to lose the pictures. And she knew she needed to back up her ipad last week too, but never got the chance! She tried googling it and all they said was to take it to the Apple store. So after dealing with an apple "genius" on the phone... What a joy! (Sarcasm) we finally went to the store itself. On the drive there and even before we left the house, I asked her if she had prayed over it. She said to me, "if you have faith for it, then you do it!". So what did I do, I prayed & believed God for restoring her iPad.
When we arrived, We talked to front man of the store, he then directed us to the guy that was taking reservations, and told us she would lose her pics (not a very nice man if you ask me, but you didn't so never mind). Then he directed us to a table to stand by & wait, it would a 1hr 45min wait. Then a few minutes passed and another man walked up and we told him the predicament and he said she would lose everything! Even her pics! She started crying of course. She told me I could go to anthropologie right next door, that she would be fine. So as I'm browsing & pursuing the lovely things in anthro. She comes up to me, bursts into tears and tells me that when they rebooted the iPad, it didn't erase any of her pictures, contacts,etc! Praise God! The guy who helped her was kinda in shock, because he's NEVER seen that happen before. He's only heard about it happening once before.
I believe, that if I hadn't of prayed for it. She would have lost everything. Prayer works! And The Lord loves me!
Two scriptures (MSG translation) come to mind:
Faith moves mountains.Matthew 21:21-22
Two or more gathered. Matthew 18:18-20
2nd story:
On Friday, we were going to go to Terri savelle Foy's women's conference that night. So we just planned to piddle paddle through Fort Worth until it started. So mom wanted to go to coldwater creek for something & I was just going to go with her, well she persuaded me into going to Madewell. And so I went it... I did get to see my friend Mary(who works there) and tell her about Funkyfinds(yay!) I then found myself in the sale area, picking up some shoes I have been eyeing for MONTHS! Well I saw one box that said it was a size 8 and they were $39.99, but then what I thought said, was the color black(which turned into actually being the burnt sienna I wanted! Because I didn't actually read the box! Haha!) was $69.99. I asked a different girl about it and she said no, it was just mismarked. But I was insistent about it and showed her the box. Same color, same shoe, different size. So she went and asked her manager and she came back, and said I was actually right! I bought the shoes, right then & there. And I also bought some leather sandals too! I had been wanting some great quality leather sandals. But I never found any that I liked. But my roommate at the time, Holly(hey girl!), bought some for full price and and they were super cute!
So I found the exact same ones, but in my size for $20.00. But that's not all, I didn't actually pay $60+tax for them. No, I received 30% all sale items! You do the math! Glory!
So now, I have a great pair of sandals for next summer & the flats I've been wanting for awhile to add a bit of punch to my outfits! Only more blessings & favor to come! I was super happy that day & I still am!
The Lord totally gives you the desires of your heart. Psalm 20:4
Ask and you shall receive! John 16:23-24
(MSG translations)
Hope you have awesome day! -Ryn

Style Fyle: everybody needs a lil bit of fancy!
This skirt reminds me of a scene in white Christmas... Its pretty safe to say, I think you could swing dance in it.
This skirt is so lovely! I just adore it! These are all of the tops, all shapes, you can wear with this skirt. For the collared shirts, I would tuck them in. And you can tuck in the striped shirt too.
And you can wear ballet flats, heels, platform heels, platform wedges, wedges, etc...
And you can wear sparkly jewels with this outfit. Or you can totally keep it simple.
I encourage you to try a skirt on like this. And I Hope this helps with upcoming moments in your life! -Ryn

DIY Friday: shoe clips
Yayyy! I'm back ready to DIY! I was inspired by the post from: http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-shoe-clips/ (which I'm sure the F stands for fruitcake or some like that! 😉)
I found it by perusing through my Pinterest board: the fashionist: DIY, and my user name is Styledbyryn, incase you'd like to follow... Wink wink!
And unfortunately I didn't have all of the supplies for this project, but I adore the look. You betcha I'll be getting some other clip-on earrings from antique stores, eBay and etsy. These, that are in the pics, are my deceased nana and I would really like to preserve them. But all that to say, I really see these in our futures, as long as we make them to be in our future... (I know, really profound!) but you could totally wear these on a day to day basis or for fancier events. It's up to you! : )
What you'll need:
Shoes
Vintage costume Earrings (preferably clip ons)
E6000 glue
Blank shoe clip hardware
Pliers
Toothpick
And then go to: http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-shoe-clips
For the instructions!
Madewell sidewalk skimmers were used for the models of these shoe clips!
It's an easy & quick one, but a lil vintage, glamour & fun way to spruce up ones shoes! : )
I hope you have fabulous weekend and I will see you Monday! -Ryn

Soul searcher: the skinny
So I've been thinking, I want a divorce from sugar. I know it ain't healthy for me & yet I still eat it and feel awful afterwards! I have found myself in a rhythm of eating it. It has to stop! I'm divorcing sugar! I have to get it out of my life for good.
I know that if I get it out of my eating plan, it will in turn help me to lose weight.
I'm tired of looking in the mirror and groaning. I know it may take some time to convince myself I don't want it. (Hopefully not!) Because I'm a girl who likes a scoop of ice cream or a donut on occasion. Once in awhile is "ok", but not on a regular basis. I don't want to have a donut around my waist. It's not attractive. And it's harder to style.
I want to be fit, healthy, strong, beautiful, confident, lean, toned & thin. I would like to buy woven clothes & size medium or large size things in j.crew, Madewell & Anthropologie without garments that pull at the seams. Yeah, I want to totally revamp my eating habits. And have a goal & accomplish it, ya know?!
I also want to get back into the exercise scene. I'm done with not exercising! No more making excuses that I don't have time. If I have time to watch my favorite shows the nights that they're on, then I have enough time to get up and stay active.
I'm always a confident person with my self esteem & self image, but I need to step up my game in the confidence department! I am totally graced to lose weight, to break the strong hold of sugar over my life. Enough is enough. Time to get crackin'! Lets see the results!
If you're in the same boat or a similar boat...or if you've cut sugar out of your lifestyle, or know any awesome exercises that you love, let me know of any tips in the comment section below, please & thank you!
Love y'all! -Ryn

Tippies & Trickies: Customer service
I, for one like when an online store or walk-in store have great customer service! I tend to shop from them on a regular basis from then on out. It's helpful when they're friendly & courteous or when they email you back in a timely manner, and answer as many questions they possibly can that you have asked.
Believe me, I have had my own run ins with not so friendly sales associates too. I think it's safe to say we all have!
But another thing that gets me is a good return policy! I know, it's probably the last thing on your mind when purchasing, but it's always a handy thing to have in your back pocket when something doesn't fit right or if damaged. I for one, need to know what stores have good return policies, 1. because I like to know & 2. because then I can help my clients any way I can!
And I'm always so surprised when a friend thinks they can't return an item or items to a certain store, because they think that every store has the return policy of Forever 21, Thankfully not every store has that return policy. Do your research. It's super easy now that we have smartphones attached to our hips practically! It's super easy to find out. And that info is on there for your benefit, so that if something like a fit issue or you don't like the coloring, you won't feel gipped out of your money.
I have a list of the places that have great customer service & return policies:

Style Fyle: NM LIST
As you may or may not know, Ken Downing, the fashion director for Neiman Marcus always includes a "what's in" list to each Neiman Marcus THE BOOK (their catalog) every season. It's one of my favorites to receive. They are always so on point to the trends going on for the season.
I am such a sucker for pointed ballet flats from madewell, it isn't even funny! A pointy toe is such an elongating trick you can use for your legs to appear miles long! And if you already long legs, then watch out, y'all! They are going to appear longer! They're perfect! I adore the bottom pic!!
I wear neutral makeup everyday, so this isn't a stretch for me to do. But the first pic, that would be a very big stretch for me! So maybe ill have my makeup artist sister give me some tips & tricks. I will be wearing my MAC Rebel lipstick this fall though! : )
The awesome thing about style is you can create whatever look you want, while you follow the whats on the IN list. You get to determine how you look.
Imagine yourself as a canvas, you being the painter, you get to choose what you'd like to paint(wear). Be precise, creative & carefree. Choose colors that will flatter the end result of the painting. Don't choose colors(or sizes) that could mess the entire look. If you have a vision of what you want the painting to look like, paint it. But trust me to tell you this, don't give up. You've got this! 
(Ken Downing)
And onto what IN this season:
P.S. I gathered all of the pictures to give you examples.
Rocker Chic
Fashion tunes in
I like to look at Demi's style(at some point I'd love to style for her) she's very edgy but yet she still looks so chic! I think it would look weird if she wore another genre of clothing. I also love how she rocks her curves! Power to the curves!
Violet femmes
From lavender to eggplant, purple reigns.
These shoes are gorgeous! I want THEM! They are just so adorable. I see many outfits paired with this pair of shoes! www.shopplasticland.com
Boys Town
A dash of habdashery, a touch of tomboy
I couldn't pick just one! All three looks are great! Rashida Jones definitely looks great in the "grandpa sweater. And I like jeans rolled up, gives the outfit more texture. And the Oxford shoes are well placed.
The bowtie is so cute! I know a girl named Taylor, who can pretty much wear anything and make it look good. Paper bag even! And she wore a bowtie, a suit like the bottom picture and pointy toed shoes and knocked it out of the park! I like how in the first pic, the shirt doesn't look ironed. And the boyfriend jeans are a must in every wardrobe.
And lastly the bottom outfit. I like this look! First the pastel is in for fall, secondly if you were to do a suit like this, you have got to show your ankle if you plan to wear oxfords, it'll look too masculine if you don't.
The Pointed Toe
Looks sharp on everything, from pumps to boots
Lace Noir
Fade to black
The lace outfits, should be dark. The lace noir is very deep. Very sensual. Very classy & feminine. Imagine what the mad men cast would wear and go for it! It's very elegant.
Red, The New Neutral
Has us all fired up
I like using red as an accent color, not necessarily as a whole ensemble or a large amount of my outfit! But I'm coming around to the color! And since its a neutral, I should treat it like one and start by using it in my outfits more often! If you're weary about it too, try a red lip or nail polish. If you're a bit more bold, shoes or bag... It'll help ease you into full on outfit of red.
Animal Magnetism
We're wild for spots and stripes
I am ALL about the leopard print! It super feminine & fierce. And it can be styled so easily! I even like the bottom pic of the two different prints of leopard in one outfit! It works well!
Scaled-Down Handbags
Mini dimensions, Major impact
As we see here with this red Celine purse as a cross body. It's perfect for the season. And Let's face it ladies, we don't need to bring everything but the kitchen sink with us! We need a break sometimes... It's nice to scale down on handbags...
The Fall Face
Toned Down Gets Turned Up
Multifaceted Necklaces
Gem-Cut stones add a flash of brilliance
I really like this necklace. It would be great for fall. Just the colors alone are perfect for autumn.
And that concludes the list! Hope you enjoyed it! Give some or all of these suggestions a shot, try them out sometime... Before the next list comes out at least!!!
Love y'all! Have a great Wednesday! -Ryn
