Hi Fashionistas,

I can not believe we are almost through with the month of September and my bday is approaching soon (october 8). Now the last time i checked i havent post since may so i basically took the summer off lol but it was much needed although i still posted on instagram. I realized i connected more by just posting and not physically actually writing a blog post.  

I also been working on my new business of being a jewelry consultant with tracilynn fashion jewelry and i have,been loving it although i will not lie it is alot of work like seriously it is. 

I am also growing as a person where i no longer need the validation of my other peers in the industry and just rock to my own beat and be me. 

I also learned that everyone is not your friend and i have accepted it and moved on. So i have to say my long extended break helped me to get where i am today. 

So i will leave with some of my favorite post from the summer. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy Friday. Hope everyone had a great week so far. Mines has been so busy with work and just being productive. Part of being busy is always why I make sure to know the time so that I can be present in the moment and enjoy. So when the friends from at Jord reached out and sent me this lovely watch . I could not resist.

Jord makes their watches out of various woods such as Maple to Zebrawood. The watch I choose is made out of zebra wood. I must say I am so in love with it because it can defiantly be worn on a everyday basis that allows you to step out and be seen. What makes this so great is that there are watches for both men an women.

So I teamed up with Jord to do an amazing giveaway which is so simple. All you have to do is click the link provided below give your email and that it is it. One reader gets the to win $100 towards their watch of their choosing.  Do not get discourage for every person that enters, you will receive a $25 off towards your purchase. So I see it as a win win for everyone.

Do hurry as this contest ends on 4/2/17 and the coupons offer expires after 4/23/17.

Hi fashionistas,

Happy Tuesday hope everyone had a great weekend and start to the work week. I spent the weekend just doing some self care such as getting my nails and feet done as well as going to the movies. 

I saw the movie the shack and it was so amazing a powerful message so i suggest everyone go and see it.

Now if you dont know now you do. I love all things thrifted and vintage. Everything in this look was thrifted down to the boots. 

I love thrifting as there is nothing better than have a one of a kind unique and different item. 

This coat i loved it when i saw at the salvation army and my sweater is from divaexpress and leather skirt from instagram friend. The boots are from poshmark the detailing of the boot is amazing.

This look is perfect for work and a date night.  Hope you enjoy the look until next time.

Hi fashionistas,

Happy Tuesday.  Hope everyone had a great start to their week. This month has been crazy weather wise where its hot one day and cold the next.  

Im here for the warm days. Hence title spring ready. Target clearance section has been my bff when it comes to finding things that i had my eye on. 

Like this purple dress. When i saw it i fell in love cause its in my favorite color of course lol. 

I paired it with this colorful blazer i thrifted awhile back and wore my favorite thigh high boots. Let me tell you these are the best boots i purchased in a long time.  Worth the money. Just wish i purchased them in black. 

Let me know your thoughts on this look. Until next time. 

All about Balance

Hi fashionistas ,

Happy Wednesday.  I hope everyone had a great weekend and great start to your work week. My week started off with a big bang literally. 

Balance is something that we all try to manage especially when we are working professionals. For me being a full time career women and blogger has many challenges that i have recently discovered.  Let me correct that i have been noticing it for a few months but still been trying.

If you do not know, i am foster care supervisor over an intense therapuetic unit so my day can start from 7 am and end at 8pm. 

So being able to blog as much as i like has been becoming a thing of the past. Even trying to do photograph has had some challenges. 

I have to often remind myself that it is ok because the blogging world can be very cruel i tell you. 

Day by day i have been learning to balance and just plan which has been going good. 

So let me know what you all think do you have issues with balancing . I would love to hear your thoughts.

Hi fashionistas, 

It has been awhile but you know how life can be and let me tell you i have been busy but there is so much behind the scenes happening which i will share soon.

Winter time calls for hot drinks and relaxing in a warm place. Everyone loves hot coco but i prefer white chocolate so i said hmm why dont i make it.

The receipe is so easy fun and simple.

All you need is 

1. A cup of white chocolate chips

2. Milk 

3. Tsp of vanilla

Mix all of these ingredients in a pot and stir for a least 10 mins or until chocolate is melted through.

Pour in mug and top with whip cream and there you have. Simple and so good.

Hi fashionistas, 

Hope everyone had a blessed and productive week. It has been a short one as i was off on friday before new years eve which is what i was happy i did as i got to spend so much needed time with my sister friends who i love adore and are family to me. 

2016 has been a year for me . I have to say there has been some highs with getting to work with brands, covering new york fashion week, and just expanding the blog where more people know who i am. As well as landing a new job.That was such a blessing.

With highs there are lows and the death of my grandfather was very hard and still hard for me to process as i love him and still do . I know he is so proud of me and watching over me everyday. 

I learned so much this year in which i can see it has helped me to put what matters first in perspective. 

So as 2017 approaches im looking forward to expanding my brand and blog more and just being successful.  

What are some goals and accomplishments you have . I would love to hear?

Kenzo for H&M

Hi fashionistas, 

Happy tuesday hope everyone had a great weekend. I spent it doing so overdue cleaning and spending time with my husband. I also finally worked on a media kit for myself which im so excited about.

Work has been so crazy and there is so much i want to share with the blog. Which will be coming soon.

When the kenzo for hm line came out i really wanted to jump on board but im honest and the price point was not something i wanted or could really deal with at the time. Especially if im not in love.

So on a recent trip there to the store they had marked down the items this overall dress which was 300 dollars i paid 80 dollars yes you see correct 80. 

What i love is the detail of it and the qulaity and of course the pockets cause what girl does not love a dress with pockets lol. 

I paired the dress with a simple blouse and for extra pop of color these booties and you know i love my hats so my veil beenie gave me the look i was going for.

To dress it down i could switch the boots for sneakers. What you think i love to hear your thoughts. Until next time.

Taking a break is always good

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 .
