Hi fashionistas , 

I know its been awhile with me posting and i know i will post a pic here and there on Instagram but never fully go through with blogging.

So much has happen in this short month and im still trying to process it all. Earlier this month i lost my grandfather and it was very hard for me to cope with as he actually raised me and i saw him more like a father to me. 

So losing him was hard and still it but im thankful for the memories and knowing he is in a better place away from pain and suffering. 

Moving on or going through my regular day has been rough but im so thankful for friends and family who check in on me everyday just to see how im doing.

I will not lie i was going to give up blogging but then i remember i need to keep going and keeping doing what i love which is sharing my fashion style. 

This look was one i wore before winter came in with the cold. everything is mostly thrifted except the vest and bag. The nine west camo boots i purchased from poshmark and the open cardigan from local thrift store. This whole look was perfect .  

I hope you enjoy the look. until next time .

Hi fashionistas , 

Last week i posted a look but did not go into detail and blog about it till now.

Dressing down for my job is what i enjoy as i do not have to worry and just can be comfortable 

When my blogger boo stylenpoise posted this leopard moto jacket from zara i had to have it cause i love leopard print.

I paired it with this cute sweater i scored from burlington and paired it with leggings and these leopard print oxfords from the june ambrose collection was the perfect fit.

Let me know what you think. until next time.

Hi fashionistas,

Happy Wednesday i hope everyone is having a great week. I am busy as always lol but i wanted to share a different post with you all. As you know my bday was october 8 and i recently turned 33 as someone told me its my jesus year. I have to say that im blessed and thankful.

Before my bday i decided to have some goals accomplish before year 33 and i have to say that im proud to have acheived them. I did not go overboard and have unrelaistic goals but i was determined. so i wanted to share with you my list below.

1. Find a new job where i will grow and develop more skills

2. save more money

3. pay off bills in full

4. Attend more events for blogging 

5. Network more

6. live life

I have to say i was able to check all those things off my goal list. Looking for a new job was priority and i prayed and stayed faithful till the right opportunity came along and now im loving it and know that im going to excel and grow.

Saving money is and up and down thing for me but this year i focus and buckled down and was able to do it which resulted in clearing off some debt double win.

As a blogger there are events that you want to or have to attend and i was shy at times to go but decided if i want to be successful then i need to go out and get what i want. one major was covering nyfw.

Networking has been hard but it was great as i work with brands such as derma e, caress, dove and other beauty brands.

Living life is just that living life cause it is not always about work work and work which is what i always do. so i promise to have fun and enjoy cause life is too short and spending time with my friends and family is what its all about.

So turning 33 was exciting and im looking forward to accomplishing more goals. 

Do you set goals before your bday .  love to hear your thoughts.

Hi Fashionistas,

It has been so long since i blogged and its really because work has been keeping me busy and i just been celebrating my birthday all month long lol.

My birthday was october 8 and my husband decided to throw me a 90’s theme party and i was all for it although im a 80’s baby. 

I told my husband my concept and i must say he did the job so amazing that everyone stated they felt they were at a 90s party.

The guest were able to wear cute buttons that had  different 90s slogans which everyone love. 

The dj played nothing but hits from the 90s. We were dancing all  night and the backdrop my husband had made was great. 

Now for my look i  went to my girl missrockwellsracks on instgram and order these amazing plaid shorts and paired it with a sequin top i scored on clearance at macys. Paired with moto boots.

Shoutout to my girl/makeup artist tiffany check her out on instgram makeupbytiffy. She has been doing my makeup for years and never disappoints. 

This was one of the best and amazing bday i had and so excited for the next chapter. Hope you enjoy. Until next time.

The man who planned and executed this whole thing. My husbandrocks

 

These cupcakes were so good

Thats a wrap 😉😀

Hi fashionistas,

Happy Wednesday i hope everyone is having a blessed and productive work week.

I wanted to share you this lovely african inspired printed skirt that i recently wore on date night with the hubs.

I love african print but i  wanted to find the perfect skirt that i could tranisition in the fall.

This skirt is super long but by wearing heels it worked perfect which you could not see.

I paired it with a simple shirt and jean jacket. In the fall i would wear a sweater or boots with a leather jacket.

Hope you enjoy the look until next time.

Hi Fashionistas, 

I wanted to share a new post with you today. If you saw my post from last week then you know my obsession with maxi skirts and floral print. 

This skirt was love at first sight but I think all my clothes I fall in love with when first seeing them lol. 

I saw this skirt at the local mystique boutique in soho. If your a new yorker you know that is where to go from time to time to find some amazing clothing for half the price 

I paired this skirt with a basic white tee to   make the skirt stand out. I paired it with a bold statement necklace. This necklace I purchased from express years ago and it is still an amazing piece. 

To add the extra touch I wore some white lace espadrilles that I purchased last summer from my favorite store kohls. 

Hope you enjoy the look. Until next time

Hi Fashionistas, 

Happy Thursday . I hope everyone had an amazing, blessed and productive week. This week will be about floral as I have been loving the print lately and it has been piling up in my closet lol.

When I saw this floral maxi skirt with matching crop top. I knew it had to come home with me. For one I love maxi skirts. 

I wanted to make the crop top work appropriate so I paired it with a camisole and blazer. This was look I actually wore to work and then out to dinner for my husband’s bday so it shows how you can wear an outfit for work and play. 

Hope you enjoy this look. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas, 

Happy Wednesday it was a nice and long extended weekend in which I always state the weekends is what I live for. 

I have not been blogging like I normally do is because if you follow me on social media I started a new job in which I al enjoying and getting used to. 

There has been so many different obstacles and challenges that have been thrown my way but I see such a clearer path my way hence the title of my post.

Stepping out on faith is the beginning but seeing my purpose is so much clearer now in a different element.

On to the look :). This jumpsuit is from last summer from H & m and it is perfect comfortable and of course my favorite leopard print but in different colors. 

I paired it with some denim espadrilles and matching hat. Hope you enjoy the look until next time.

Camouflage your feelings

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy Tuesday I hope everyone had a blessed and productive weekend and start to the work week.

Let’s get into today’s look. I love camo print but something told me to just look up the meaning which we know it was often used in the military as way to disguise yourself from your enemy.

Sometimes we often hide are feelings about how we truly feel about things or situations that are going on around us.

It’s best to be up front and speak your mind and thoughts cause disguising or holding it in is just pointless.
