I’ve been talking about color all spring and previously mentioned my love for the colorful updated suit here. The classic office suit has received a major jolt going from dark colors to brights, so much so that you can find a suit in almost any color now. Great news right? The colorful suit expands the…
Neon green is a color that hasn’t received much attention since the 80’s, back when rubber bracelets and jelly shoes were poppin’ and everyone was listening to “Like a Prayer”. Well, if you’ve been paying attention to fashion for the past few years, you’ll see that just about every trend, color, and style has come…
A floral print is the perfect way to celebrate spring and the runways during the SS/19 fashion shows agreed. Prints, including florals were on many runways and now these same prints are in stores. I’m talking some of my favorite floral looks in this post and they’re all light, airy, and exuberantly spring! But who…

Who remembers culottes from back in the day? My grandma’s used to wear them and I thought they were the weirdest article of clothing back then. I mean, if you want to wear a skirt just wear a skirt already! What’s the point of the fake skirt look that’s really pants is what my child…

I’m not going to lie to y’all, 2018 hasn’t been the bag of optimistic pot of gold that I’d hoped for but it has been the most peaceful year that I’ve had probably in my life. I’ve had a lot of trials monetarily and I learned a hard lesson in mixing money/business with a friend…

I recently read the Times article entitled “The Art of Optimism” with Cicely Tyson on the cover. I purchased it for the mere fact that she’s on the cover, a true living legend who’s a graceful 94 years-old. She has such a rich history in the arts; she was the first African-American to star in…

Grey is the type of color that is not a “mood”. Well it is, but not one that you’d want to brag about! If you’re in a grey mood it probably means that you’re having a blah day, feeling down, or not at your best and trust me, I’ve had many “grey” moods and understand…

I’m one for stretching my style muscle but a coat with colorful fur is a piece that I wouldn’t pick up on my own. “It’s not my style” I’d say, or “it’s too trendy”. But when I was gifted this coat for Christmas by my cousin I figured, why not. It’s unlike anything in my…

It’s official, my little baby is growing up! It’s happening so fast, this time last year he was only one month and barely weighed 6 pounds, now he’s a big ole 13 month old who just will not quit. I mean literally, will not stop, slow down, stand still, sit down, hold on, wait up…not…
