Hello and Happy Monday! 

I wanted to start this week off strong! And that is exactly how I feel in this look -strong! And romantic! And feminine! 

I had been thinking about this styling for a while and was so happy when it actually worked out perfectly! 

This shopping center was a perfect place to shoot this look too! The color of the stones used on the buildings, the iron-rod railings with designs on them, the archways, the fountains -it all matched this romantic style theme perfectly! And it is huge!

I spent at least an hour shooting these pictures and I moved around three times in this shopping center! 

As for the styling itself, I really love this off-the-shoulder jacket! This is my second time styling it. It is such a unique piece! And I am still in awe at how well it wears! It just lays perfectly! I do not find myself tugging at it or readjusting it hardly ever. I wanted to dress it up a bit, hence the slip skirt. 

The denim against the satin skirt is an interesting combination. The jacket it where the strength theme comes in. 

I wanted to keep the accessories minimal, since the jacket and skirt are both pretty significant focal points. I wanted little shimmers of silver details. Thus, I have earrings, the chain belt, bag, and shoes. 

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoy this styling! And I will see you all on Wednesday!

Have a great week!

Hello everyone! 

How are you all doing? I'm doing well. I am ready for the weekend! I have a few things going on this weekend that I am looking forward to. But first, we have today's post! 

It is the third appearance of my beloved bucket hat! And it is far from the last appearance! 

In fact, I may devote a whole styling video to this bucket hat because I have so many ideas for it! 

I love a good casual fit! And as luck would have it, the baggier styles are very much trending right now! 

That was the direction I went with this look. Something comfortable, stylish, and effortless. The hat, ironically, was not originally part of the look. But I realized it would work perfectly so I went with it. I think it adds a bit more character -yeah? 

This sweatshirt is one that I have had for about two years -give or take- now. I LOVE this sweatshirt! I got it from Target during Black History Month. They had a section set up that was dedicated to black designers. This sweatshirt really stood out to me. I have worn it many, many times, usually to work or around the house as a sweatshirt -as opposed to actually styling it. 

But I actually tried styling it back in February -for Black History Month- and was going to post it, but when I went to find the name of the designer, I ended up seeing how others had styled it, and felt like I could do better than what I had come up with. It was not that it was bad, it was just basic. I wanted to find a more creative way to style it. 

This is one of several ways I came up with. I definitely feel like this is more creative and I feel much more content with it. 

You will be seeing this sweatshirt again in the future, but it may not be for a while as it is about to start getting hot here! :D

Thank you for reading! I hope you have a great weekend ahead! 

See you on Monday!  =D

Hey everyone! Happy Monday! 

Just a quick post for today! 

I wanted to kick the week off with a very simple but killer color theme: black and silver! 

This color combo is very chic! 

I remember just wanting to pair the tough denim jacket against a softer, silk dress and the rest just fell into place! 

These silver heels are probably my favorite pair of heels that I have gotten in a while! They have really come in handy! Especially with this look! 

Thank you so much for reading and I will see you on Wednesday!

​Have a great week! =D

Hello! Happy Friday my friends! 

I hope you all are doing well! 

Just a quick post for today! 

It is already beginning to feel like summer, so I am trying to dress/style accordingly. But it is not easy! 

Layering is key! 

I styled a fitted, orange dress with a button down over top of the dress. It was perfect for the cooler mornings! It looks chic and provides a little bit of warmth. BUT once the heat kicks in, it is easy to remove and just wear the dress as is. 

I also love that both of these are solids. Don't get me wrong, I love a print. But there is also something refreshing and simplistic about pairing solids together. 

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead! 

Stay cool! 

See you guys on Monday! =D

Hello and Happy Monday! 

I wanted to kick this week off with a touch of glamour! 

If you watched my styling video this week, you will already be familiar with this dress! 

This dress is from Uoozee, and I was drawn to it because of the design and the color. Both are unique and beautiful. My only gripe with Uoozee is that it takes a long time for your package to arrive! I had ordered another piece at the same time, but they did not arrive together. It took the other piece a while to arrive! So long, I thought maybe there had been some mix up with the order. That said, I have only experienced really good customer service when communicating with them. They were kind, quick to reply, and informative. So, I will probably continue to order from them! 

When I was styling this dress, my initial thought was to keep all of my accessories gold. So, when I first headed out, I had a gold clutch. As luck would have it, I forgot the piece to my tripod that holds my phone, so I can get pictures and videos on there. I went back home to get it and on a whim, I decided to switch the gold clutch with this peacock clutch. I cannot tell you how glad I am that I made that small change! 

I think it makes such a world of difference! 

The bag stands so beautifully against the color of the dress! I feel like it takes it from 'mmm okay' to ''what a great look!' 

Plus, peacocks just happen to be one of my favorite animals! ;)

The final piece to this look was the shoes. I had held off on this look for a while because I wanted to find the right shoes to go with it. I knew gold heels would be the best fit, but they were a little hard to come by! 

As I mentioned in the video, some of the heels I came across were too chunky or had too many straps, or bows, or wrapped all the way up the leg -think gladiator style heels. They just seemed too much. This look called for a very minimal look. I finally came across these beauties on Amazon! I think they compliment the look perfectly. 

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed! 

See you on Wednesday for another styling! =D

Hello and Happy Friday friends! 

I hope you all are doing well! 

I feel like this has been the fastest week I have ever had! I do not really know what made it seem to go by so quickly, but here we are at Friday already! 

I also feel like I have been on a strong creative streak! I have ideas on top of ideas of outfit stylings! I have several video ideas and upcoming events where I will get a lot of content. I love it when this happens, but sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming! I feel like I want to do it all at once! Journaling helps me out a lot with that! Writing those ideas down, trying to come up with a timeline as to when to get it all done. It really takes some of the pressure off! 

Today's look is one of the more minimalistic looks I have created. 

I was in need of a comfortable outfit to wear on the go, and this was my solution! A dark wash denim jumpsuit paired with booties and a chain belt. Truth be told, the booties were only worn during this shoot and then later for a dinner. For a large chunk of the day I opted for sandals. But the booties caught my eye and you guys know I love a pop of color! So, I went for it! 

This jumpsuit is SO comfortable though and pretty versatile! I dressed it up and down in this day alone! Since this is the base of the look, I am really just styling around it. 

This jumpsuit actually vaguely reminds me of the year(s) that I dressed up as Michael Myers for Halloween. I found one of those jumpsuits at Walmart solely for Halloween, but weirdly enough I actually loved the fit of it! In the back of my head, I wanted to find a chic way to style it. This jumpsuit is very similar -just much more fitted and chicer! 

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead! 

I will see you on Monday!

Hello all! Happy Monday! 

I hope you all are well! 

I have to report that it was a very pleasant weekend, this weekend! Even though I had to work, it went smoothly! I had mentioned in Friday's post that I was kind of dreading it, because last weekend was rough. Now, I am ready for the new week ahead and ready to get some stylings started! 

This look is one of my newest favorite looks! I love this off-the-shoulder denim jacket! It is such an unusual piece! I personally have never seen anything quite like it. It kept popping up on online ads for Shein, and I loved the look of it. My hesitation though was that it would not lay as effortlessly on me as it seemed to in the ad. So, I held off on buying it for a while. 

Finally, I could not hold off any longer! I bit the bullet and bought it. As it turns out, it fits almost exactly like it does on the ad! I do not find myself constantly tugging on it or readjusting it or anything.

I personally like it a lot against a white color pallet, as you can see. I think it has a very chic feel to it! 

In general, this look is a pretty comfortable and chic look for Spring. I already have worn this styling out twice! Once to dinner and once to grab coffee with a friend, and both times I got a few compliments!  (A sure sign of a good find!) 

I have a few other ideas for ways to style this gem! I cannot wait to share them with you! 

Thank you for reading and I hope you have a great weekend ahead! 

See you on Wednesday!

Hello and Happy Friday! 

I just have a quick post for today. Its Friday and I am not sure I am ready for the weekend, if I am being honest. Weekends usually mean work for me -and not the fun, styling work. On top of that, I am pet sitting for my parents and the pups get really anxious when they leave -which means none of us sleep very well! 

But I'm going to try and be positive! Hopefully we will all sleep well, and the weekend will go pretty smoothly! =D

Today's look is one that I actually shot back in September. Ironically, I had just come off a rough weekend then too! I thought it was a great seasonal transition look. And it works well as a Spring transitional look!

It is a pretty basic, just wide legged jeans and a crop top. To keep it a bit interesting I added this faux leather bag. 

I remember taking these pictures, it felt so nice outside! It was such a welcomed relief and a great way to clear my head after a long weekend. That is what I will be looking forward to this coming weekend! When I can get out and style more looks/take more pictures -use my creative side.

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you all have a great weekend ahead! 

See you guys on Monday!
