Winter Coats
With our London trip just over a week away I’ve been tying up some loose ends in my winter wardrobe to make sure I’m ready to brave the cooler temps. It’s ironic that my coat collection keeps growing despite living in a desert where we don’t have a true winter season 😂 Check out my current faves that have caught my eye recently!

ABOUT
chantelle ballesteros
My love for fashion started at a young age while watching What Not To Wear on TLC with my mom. I became so captivated by the makeovers that Stacy London and Clinton Kelly gave these men and women who were on the show. It amazed me how a new wardrobe and a hair/makeup refresh could completely transform someone and give them a confident, new outlook on life. It made me realize that style and the clothes we wear speak volumes without you having to say anything at all. Movies and TV shows continued to inspire my love of fashion, like The Devil Wears Prada, The Parent Trap, and The Hills.
I knew that I wanted a career in the fashion industry and after I graduated from high school, I moved to downtown LA to attend the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. It was such an incredible experience that I’m so grateful for! Just 3 years after graduating I launched my blog, Blushful Belle, as an outlet for my creative musings that combined my passions of fashion, writing, and photography. My thesis statement for my portfolio of work that I created while at FIDM almost a decade ago still rings true to my vision and inspiration for my blog: Imagine, Create, Inspire. My goal is to dream up and create content that will inspire you in your daily life.
