I was so excited to kick off spring by celebrating Maoly and Kevin’s 10-year anniversary party. If you’re not new to Befitting Style, you’ ve probably read about my best friend Marllory a few times from our brunch outings to birthday celebrations. With Maoly being Marllory’s younger sister, it warms my heart to watch her celebrate love. Being well dressed is very important to me as it’s a part of the effort that I put into my appearance. Effort always matters. When I was invited to the anniversary party, I…

Eileen Fisher is no stranger to sustainability so it’s only right that I spent Earth Day at their Soho store with the members of Co-lab to dive into their practices and learn how they strive for a greener earth. With the intentions of keeping items from ending up in the landfill, sustainability is at the forefront of their brand ethos. What is Renew? The 41-year-old fashion brand created Renew to prevent Eileen Fisher’s designs from going to waste. With Renew, the brand is decreasing carbon footprint by giving garments a…

I had the pleasure of attending the Met Gala exhibition preview where the conversation about the root of dandyism which expanded on this year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” was led by Professor and Chair of Africana Studies at Barnard College of Colombia University, Monica L. Miller in discussion with Executive Artistic Director of the National Black Theatre, Jonathan McCrory, Historian and Fashion Icon, Lana Turner, and the very dandy Style Activist, Dandy Wellington. As I sat in Apollo’s Victoria Theatre dressed in a monochrome pink look, I learned that…

Lauren Sanchez opted for a white suit to the 2025 Presidential Inauguration, and so many are up in arms about her look. Styled by Kelly Johnson, the Alexander McQueen suit was previously worn by the author and journalist when she spoke at the Forbes Power Women’s Summit on September 11, 2024. Is re-wearing an outfit the fashion faux pas, or does this particular style lead to raised eyebrows? Although I love the fantasy of fashion, what I love even more is when we get realistic about how often we wear…

Los Angeles is known to experience fires and earthquakes, but the Pacific Palisades fire is a disaster that the residents have never seen before. What started in Pacific Palisades and was expected to move toward the beach has done the unexpected and drove east right after the fire spread north to Topanga Canyon and west to Malibu. Expanding to more than 17,200 acres, the Palisades fire left thousands of people displaced from their homes. What makes this so devastating is there are multiple fires taking place in different parts of…

B&H blew me away with their epic 2024 Wrapped Party! With multiple activations that stimulates various senses, I was quite intrigued by the incredible production that Deanna Testa and her team put together for hundreds of creators. I threw on a floral Nicole Miller asymmetrical dress with a floral jacket and a fuchsia sequin beret. It was a very chilly evening, so the line outside the venue on Canal Street surprised me as I wondered how anyone was going to cope with waiting to get checked in as they endured…

Upon entry into Circo for the Soho International Film Festival Awards Night Gala, I went to the VIP section where Ashley-Lauren Elrod was seated watching the stage from afar. The room was filled with high energy and joy as everyone was focused on the stage while actors, producers, directors, and writers were being awarded as they were compared to their peers who took part in the Soho International Film Festival. There are moments that help me learn that I’ve truly grown. After eating, the waiter came to clear the table…

I probably wouldn’t believe you if you told me I’d be co-hosting a holiday event in 2024. I’m so grateful to have been able to organize and produce the Creator Logic NYC Holiday Party! Created by Avi Gandhi, Creator Logic is the premiere resource for those working in influencer marketing as well as influencers/creators. Although I’m not new to events, I spent some time isolated and started getting back to the real me late last year. I’ve been working in marketing for about 7 years and during my pre-marketing days,…
