To be honest… I wasn’t going to blog about this look until I got so many compliments. This look caught my eye because olive green is apart of the neutral color scheme. I’m slowly falling in love with browns, taupes, tans, and greens. So I decided why not pair ranges of olive green with comfy sweats since it’s already a trendy look. The elastic stretch, turtle neck crop top was the perfect piece to provide both comfort and style. My accessories included my olive green snapback with my emerald green tote along with my white slides. The white slides finalized this look because it has a soft tone and aesthetic that pairs well with neutral colors.
Summering all Summer
I heard LA was reopening and you know what that means???
As Im sure you guys all have been paying attention to the latest news in the world, its seems as if many cities and states are uplifting the restrictions for indoor and outdoor dining. Although it’s still very important to insure that you are staying safe and getting vaccines, Im excited to pop out and pop up to a couple of daytime festivities and brunch gatherings.
Literally online shopping last year was pointless because we had nowhere to go and with summer 2021 coming around - its safe to say all the ladies will be summering all summer, LOL! This sunny all black look was a huge risk because I always play it safe. However this time I decided to pair my all black sheer corset bodysuit with my comfy yet sexy fishnet tights. Since its hot, I mean why not?! I decided not to add any additional colors. I accessorized with my black crossbody bag and the new trendy bucket hat thats on the market as of today. It also wouldn’t have made any sense to wear closed toe sandals so I definitely wore a open toe heel to top this look off.
I might be a little late to brunch for this one, but I made it! LOL!
1 out of 365
Happy New Years Ladies!
Its time to rise and grind. If 2020 didn’t bring out the hustle in you, it’s okay! You have 365 new days to accomplish those goals you wrote down in 2020. New home? New car? Better health? Better finances? New spirit? Whatever it is, you get a fresh start!
I started my day one off with a hearty brunch and talked about my new goals that I’m so excited to challenge. It’s pretty chilly in my hometown, Jackson, MS, so of course I wore a long sleeve turtleneck, but not just any long sleeve turtleneck. This bodycon dress had the perfect fall/autumn print colors. The structured shoulders were my favorite.
To be completely honest, I would’ve like to wear a open toe heel but it was way too chilly so I paired this look with my favorite gold heel pumps to match my gold and black clutch. Perfect simple combo to start off the 2021 new year!
Last Year. New Year. So Happy New Year. 🥂
I have no idea why I didn’t blog this New Year’s Eve dress last year but it doesn’t matter because Covid - 19 most definitely canceled my plans for December 31, 2020.
Talk about perfect timing! Beyond that, it is fun to get dressed up outside of your typical weekend ensemble for the night — and that’s regardless of whether you’re RSVPing to a party or heading to a bar or club with your besties. However if I were to actually celebrate the incoming 2021 year, I do believe this would’ve been the perfect festive dress or something better of course lol. The colors most definitely gives a champagne sparkle glam. My simple black clutch and open toe shoes made an easy statement piece.
Happy New Years Ladies and Gent! 2021 will be a better year!
Bayang
Its getting chilly and you better bundle up. Of course in the dopest way possible.
Puffer coats & jackets have been part of the runway essentials. These outfits create a more dramatic and sophisticated. I will debate and say Long-sized coats are more striking for taller women because it emphasizes their assets, which is their long legs. I, however, decided to take a risk. Im only 5’1 and I figured why not go for it. These attires are your greatest confidant during the winter season.
Typically fall colors you would go for that fall burgundy or olive green color. But to be bold I love this bright yellow puffer trench and I could not pass. Decided to pop a metallic zip up hoodie since my yellow puffer did not come with one and I knew for sure won’t be catching a cold through this comfy style.
My grey nylon sweat pants came in handy because they were also super baggy and was an ideal match. Now when you pay attention to detail, I literally have absolutely nothing pink on so I thought why not color block. These bright colors in the winter will surely not be amiss wherever you go, either on the runway or on the streets. You will turn heads because of how gorgeous you give off a vivid-colored coat and shoe. So, don’t be afraid to level up your puffer coat style by choosing vibrant hues and intricate designs.
Its Boot Szn Sis
Fall is already here and are you boot season prepared? If not, you better get ready. Especially if you are in states like New York, Vermont and Minnesota.
If there’s one thing appropriate for pretty much any season (but especially fall and winter), it’s boots and booties. For those of us who believe you can never own too many of the chic shoe, I am officially your friend. You’re going to want to make some major room in your closet—or on shoe rack, or under your bed—because the boot trends this year came to walk all over previous seasons.
These spicy patent leather boots are way to fun. From the heel structure to the color. I enjoyed playing around with these because you could honestly wear them with skinny or flare jeans, a mini skirt with tights or with windbreaker pants. I have fallen in love with the fact that athleisure wear is now fashion. My black and white windbreaker pants with a touch of white went perfect with my patent leather red jacket. When paying attention to details you can also see the white zipper on the jacket was something I wanted to essentiate.
The finalization of this look was not only perfectly placed but I was super cozy and comfy.
Kitana - Mortal Kombat
Happy Halloween!!!
How creative were you this year? To be honest I’ve been planning this halloween look for about a year now lol. Only because I didn’t get the chance to wear a costume last year or year before last. This one was most definitely premeditated.
For me Halloween is more so about showing your creativity and expressing yourself in a distinctive style of an individual or group that reflects either a class, gender or profession. Its a time to have fun and show your production of your very own artistic work. This year I was a fictional character from the Mortal Kombat, Kitana. Her ultimate goal was to fight anything and anyone that was against her. Which match my personality on so many levels. Everyday each and each every one of us are fighting new challenges and we always find different ways to overcome those obstacles.
Not only did her ambitious simplify me, but so did her wardrobe. I love the entire rich royal blue two piece set, as it came along with the hand, arm, head and leg pieces. I decided to add the Chinese fixed fan for completion. My favorite was the mask, especially with Covid - 19 not making an exit anytime soon.
A Trend or nah
Some people may think stacked jeans are a trend. However, this specific style has been around for years. Often called elongated jeans, curved jeans, extended jeans, or what we call "J shape jeans". Dont get me wrong, as of 2020 they’ve definitely been apart of the spotlight. I think the question is how to wear them and when to wear them. Due so many innovative styles you have the right to dress them up or down. The simplest way is to merely wear them over your shoe. This is playing it safe, as they can be dressed up or down. I honestly was indecisive on if I should wear an open toe square heel or pointy toe. As you can see the open toe set the bar. With temperature dropping in LA I decided to wear a comfy graphic sweatshirt. Since it already resembled many colors, I thought why not add a pattern. My mini leopard print bag was the perfect go to and you guys know I love gold jewelry with everything. My finishing touches were big gold hoops and layered necklaces, oh and let me not forget my gold bracelets. This was the perfect random girls dinner night at Spire 73.
Painted On
Body hugging dresses are normally worn on days you would like to embrace your figure. Bodycon (body conscious) dresses are all about highlighting your curves. It’s a dress clinging to your figure and revealing your shape. All you need is a body positive attitude to go along with that confidence. Once you have made your mind about wearing it, stick to that. Believe that you can pull off anything you desire. Don’t get me wrong, I totally use to think these dresses were made for nightlife and party occasions only but I figure why limit yourself. As long as its suitable and appropriate for the setting of your event, go for it! This renaissance painted on dress is so trendy now. I love the neutral colors up against my skin complexion. Since the dress itself was already a statement piece I decided to accessorize with my transparent clear earrings to match my super comfy open toe sandal heels. Finished it off with a nice sleek back ponytail and my black crossbody bag and my date night was complete. Go for it ladies!!!!
Grown AF
…. A Moment of wishing a Happy belated Birthday to TamalaClarice!!!!!
A couple nice cocktails and martinis, I’m sure you’d appreciate still feeling comfortable yet sexy after having a drunk’n night! Tonight I celebrated my 29th birthday at STK Steakhouse LA. A modern concept with a chic lounge. The attire for the restaurant also went perfect with my birthday theme. I wore the most sexiest yet grateful and comfortable dress you could think of. This two tone silver and black backless dress was the most simplest masterpiece. It was also gave a seductive feel due to the high split right above the thighs. I completed my look off with a black diamond square toe heel. Nevertheless…. Cheers to 29!
Despite Covid
No worries guys, My mask is in my back pocket and to be completely transparent I haven’t been feeling my blogs because of the coronavirus that slowly approached the entire world late 2019. All of my blogs told a true story and gave a lifestyle to where I wore each and every outfit too. Rather it was to a brunch, dinner date night or even a girls trip. Every outfit was an expression during that moment in time. Now that Im no longer letting Covid take control, Im back and better and of course in the most safest way possible.
With today being my 29th birthday I decided release a blog in honor of all the events that have taken place in the world. Lets just say if police brutality wasn’t active or if covid wasn’t taking lives…where would we be mentally right? what event would I be attending for my birthday? or even what would I wear On my birthday? Well I’m not sure about the other questions lol but this look set the tone and bar for me at this amazing location called Silver Lake Pool & Inn on Santa Monica Blvd. The floral top can often be associated with sweet and romantic, and there’s obviously nothing wrong with that. But the floral trend can also be combined with cool items for a more fashionable option. Which is why I decided to take a risk and layer my long sleeve floral puffer top with a pair of vinyl sleek high waisted pants. This bold statement piece amplified my entire look. I tried accessorizing with high-heeled sandals and burgundy teardrop earrings for a more high-fashion appeal. I hope you enjoyed this welcome back… because there’s sure more to come.
LaCe Nights
We feel it may be a little bit reductive to use the word intimate when describing bloggers but it serves a purpose and is ideal if you’re looking to create a classic retro silhouette. Let me start off by saying love yourself and your body. No matter the shape or size. From shaping and sculpting to lace appliqués, there’s hardly an itch not scratched in the expansive world of lingerie. That being said, I decided to pair my lingerie corset and lingerie biker shorts with an all over black blazer. This look was perfect for a girls dinner night right after the pandemic or even a wine tasting with your significant other for a in the house look. Layering it with gold jewelry and a gold leopard print band bag made it more chic and dressy casual. When finalizing your look be sure to make room for your shoe-drobe for faux fur heels. If you’re wondering how to wear fur heels for going out or staying in, then this is your best bet. It’s super sassy and gives you that open toe shoe glam. Just add a red lip and you can establish a bold and feminine statement in no time at all.
Lavender Tequila
If you continue to pay attention, my inspiration during the entire Mexico trip was based off lingerie. Whether it was lace, silk, satin or body chain, it was all targeting some form of comfort. Honestly, silk pants are about to take over my wardrobe. The effortless day-to-night style is one of the biggest trends of the season, and I truly can’t get enough. The best part is that there’s a way to style them for every fashion lover no matter what your personal style may be, whether you’re classically chic, totally sporty, or edgy—with a twist. The material is a little bit of a godsend for that go-to summer staple, though it’s important to note that you should choose your colors and patterns wisely depending on the temperature as some colorful tones don’t exactly lend themselves well to a sweaty night out. My lavender purple satin pants were slightly thin so it was perfect for a breezy night. I tried matching my silk pleaded pants with a cropped top to reveal my torso. But not just any crop top. This one was light purple and consists of a large bow with a metallic reflection. Go for a monochrome look and pair it with your favorite transparent earrings and your outfit is good to go.
Glitzing
Is it just me or does boyfriend jeans sometimes make you feel a size bigger than what you already are?! But it’s okay because they’re so hard to resist and super cute. No matter what you pair them with, the effect seems largely the same: oversized, undone, and stylish. Boyfriend jeans come in different styles and colors. You can purchase them with major distressing or even grab a high waisted pair. Figuring out how to wear boyfriend jeans might not be the most difficult style challenge, but the thing is that they can often seem one-dimensional. Anyone can wear them with a staple button-down, a nautical-inspired T-shirt, or a black leather bomber—it takes innovation to pull off theses styling tricks. I decided to wear mines on a hot summer day in Mexico during a girls trip. I Paired it with a skinny waist belt to make it more defined and my oh-so cute gold body chain top gave it a glitzing yet appropriate sex appeal once my skin hit the sun. I could’ve easily stopped adding layers there but I figured minimalism would be playing it safe. With it being so hot I added finishing touches with my white and tan straw hat and gold oversized sunglasses. The last accession to the look was a pair of my all white vans giving it an edgy vibe. I was then comfortably yet fashionably ready to take on Mexico.
Bronze Silhouette
I honestly believe that every woman can be a bit self-conscious when it comes to wearing a bathing suit. Even me! It’s either because we’re bloated, not confident or there’s just not enough boob support when wearing a bikini. Well, I’m here to tell you that this is why I love my job because I am able to help others be comfortable in their own skin no matter what. Sometimes we critique ourselves harder than anyone else rather than embracing ourselves for who we are. When picking out my perfect swimsuit(s) I always start with color. Personally green, orange and red compliments my skin tone. So try to find a color that you feel plays well off your skin tone. While contemplating on this particular blog in Mexico I knew green would pop with the palm leaves and brown tall tree branches. My emerald green two piece swimsuit matched perfect with my tan wide brim straw hat. So find a swimsuit that makes you and only you happy. Life is too short to worry about what other people think and love your curves to the fullest!
Secret of Purity
Summer on a budget? Trust me I can relate. Theres nothing worse than a girl having to limit her swimwear purchases for the summer season. After all, you want this bikini for the cruise, that bikini for the resort, this one-piece for the family vacation, that bikini for the beach, this bikini for laying by the pool… I mean, the list goes on. The good news is that you don’t have limit yourself to only one beach look this summer just because you have only one swimsuit, You just need to learn the secrets to adding a splash of versatility into your swimwear collection. As some of you may or may not know, that white is my favorite color. I always believed that white symbolize light, safety, purity, and cleanliness. So, wearing white swimsuits was perfect. Having a neutral-colored swimsuit is like having that one pair of skinny jeans you know you can always rely on. They can be paired with all colors, designs, fabrics, tops, and beach accessories, allowing you to get several different beach styles out of one purchase.
I was able to bring so much class yet sex-appeal to Belize, with my favorite two white swimsuits. Couple of stops that were made along the way was the Belize Cruise and “The Belize Secret Beach” where they had the best shrimp tacos and fresh coconuts. While vibing to Nipsey Hussle and taking in this amazing sunset ocean view, it really helped inspired me to write this blog. I was so relaxed and comfortable in this crinkle chiffon fabric material. Its super stretchy and light weight. I was able to accessorize with pieces as simple as a stunning pair of big sunglasses or drooping body jewelry, it can change up the entire look of your beachwear. I even added a(n) super chic fanny pack, ankle bracelet, floral headband, and fedora hat. These little beach basic styling tips will help you get the most out of the trending summer styles without breaking the bank.
Ambergris Caye
The maxi skirt is a fabulously versatile piece that can be dressed up or styled casually for a carefree adventure! Day three in Belize, I visited city Ambergris Caye where they serve the best Caribbean dish. Ambergris Caye is the largest island in Belize, and the main destination for travellers to this western Caribbean nation. The weather is mild, the beaches are beautiful, and the history is rich, this is a land of swaying palm trees and colorful sunsets. With so much to do, I made sure I wore the most comfortable, easy breezy and light weight pieces. With a fluid and flattering silhouette the maxi skirt is the perfect piece to bring along for a weekend adventure! This particular maxi skirt was a silk champagne color detailed with ruffle lining. I just love how it moves when I walk. I had so much fun layering this look. I added a silk, mint green and white polka dot shirt to balance out the silk champagne skirt. The tie in the front gave it that summer feel. I wanted the whole look to look effortless and classic, which I think I achieved along with adding so many bright colors. Once you have your skirt and top picked out, partner it with cute and comfortable items, such as a bold sunglasses and flat sandals, and add accessories like bright earrings and headbands.
Belizean Tings
Taking a trip to town in San Pedro, Belize where you can find the best fruit stands are from the mainland and abroad. Belizeans want their fruit to not be only delicious, but they care about where their food comes from, too. Fun Fact: It takes about 9 months to grow a fresh pineapple in Belize before they actually bring it to the fruit stands at their locally renowned San Pedro Framers Market. While roaming through the town, I made sure I wore the most Co-Ord Matching two piece sets which also works perfectly as swimsuit cover-ups. They’re super easy going, relaxing and comfortable. Matching skirt sets, short sets, and/or beach pant sets can be worn together, mixed and matched, and paired with different tops and bottoms in your existing wardrobe. This Zimmerman amari off shoulder tiered top and skirt worked perfect. The bright color scheme was such a fun combination. This two-piece set also packs well, as it is lightweight and doesn't take up a lot of space in your luggage. I was able to add minimum accessories such as gold hoop earrings and my favorite convenient straw back pack. I used the word “minimum” specifically because I didn’t want to take away the drama from the outfit itself. After vising the fruit stands, I was able to try this amazing Belizean Cuisine restaurant called Los Feliz while wearing this same statement piece. The two piece look worked out perfectly with the setting and atmosphere of the restaurant.
Las Terrazas Belize
I’m always trying to figure out ways to challenge myself personally and professionally. “How can I aim higher?” “How can I stay inspired?” “How can I stay consistent?” As I step out of my comfort zone I figured that, “if something doesn’t challenge you, it’s not changing you”. I’ve been patiently working on my first international blog for over 2 months now. Im so excited to not only share fashionable looks but beautiful content of locations, adventures, food and the cultural differences while taking on the Western Caribbean Sea of Belize.
As we enjoy our stay at the Las Terrazas Resort and explore, of course it has to be in style. Im so inspired by the bamboo architecture and nature atmosphere. For brunch, I decided to wear my floral tie-front crop top. The long bell sleeves are a statement piece alone which makes this look fun and flirty. No matter what style, crop tops are loved by everyone, because they are great for wearing with almost anything. Be sure to get the look you are most comfortable with. You can even get a neutral tone matching skirt with your crop top and even play with patterns such as stripes. My earth tone green and cream skirt paired perfectly. It can be the right look for your vacation day. Pair it with a nice sexy pump, cat sunglasses and straw back pack.
Be sure to already have your late date night outfit prepared, laid out and ready to go. Later that evening, dinner by the pool side gave me the perfect idea to wear a long maxi dress. This absolutely stunning look with red ruffle lining is just a look worth trying. You can even wear it for a lunch date or a casual party and enjoy the evening with such an elegant style. I was able to accessorize with my circular crocheted exterior bag with fringe around the edge. Finished off with my strappy nude heels and metal arm bracelet.
Strawberry Mango
Lately I’ve been encouraging you ladies to be comfortable and yet still fashionable but now it’s time to turn it up a knotch, of course in the most classiest way ever. This is normally where your versatility kicks in. When you think plaid, stop thinking lumberjack or schoolgirl – this season’s plaid pieces add an urban twist to the familiar print. Whether you are ready to embrace plaid fully this season or prefer to start with a few accents you can do it without straying from your personal style. This plaid bodycon dress was super sexy yet sophisticated but to tone down the curvy ensemble I dressed it up with my tan double-breasted trench coat and dark brown waist belt. It definitely gave it that ultimate on-the-go city look. The baseball cap has long been one of menswear's most polarising accessories. As time progresses, a growing number of men and women are beginning to realize that, It isn't who should wear them, but how we wear them. My plaid baseball cap is a tad bit of a different print from my dress, but it worked out perfect by sticking to a common neutral color scheme. Those last finishing touches are always your shoes and I would highly recommend 3 inches or lower if you want to be cute and comfy while taking on the city but if you are a go-getter like myself and have a high tolerance for high heels, I’d say go for it. You’d be amazed by how much of a higher arch can elevate your look.
Fashion is never comfortable!
