Hi Fashionistas,

It is March 1 and we are in a new month. However before we talk about this new month. If you have been following me on Instagram you would have heard me talking about i decided to do a no spend February so i can relax and save some money as i was going overboard at the time.

As you know i am a lifestyle blogger and a fashion stylish so sometimes i like to update my wardrobe frequently and what happens is i have way too much and then i have to purge my closet. So i decided i was not doing that and was going to wear what i have pay more on my bills and keep it moving.

I had an accountability partner through this process which made it better as she helped me alot especially when i wanted to give up. You wonder why i would give up as it is hard. I have always Said i would do a no spend month and would throw in the towel this time i was determined.

I will not lie when i tell you the first two weeks were hard but after that i was good. Actually i was unbothered. I realize what i did not need at all and that i utilize my closet more. I was also able to focus on my business that i have started at this time (online styling consultant and custom clothing and accessory design specialists ). I will talk more about this in another post.

Through this experience i learned about budgeting more and why i was shopping the way i was which i will explain soon. This process has been amazing that moving forward i know i may be continuing for a few more months but having limits which will include a shopping budget and more.

If your interested in learning more definitely comment as i would love to hear how you budget or if you done a no spend month.

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. 

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, 

Happy Monday i hope everyone had a blessed and productive weekend. Im obessed with plaid and love it so much lol and when i saw this two peice set from macys i had to grab it. 

What makes it great i can pair the vest with jeans or a skirt or wear the pants alone with a blouse or sweater. 

I paired it with a turtle neck sweater and some booties.  The hat was the added accessory. 

Hope you enjoy the look. Until next time.

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.

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.
