Are you getting in your own way? I recently decided to get out of my way and it has elevated my life. The things that would have stopped me in my tracks no longer matter because I decided that I can’t keep getting in my way. If you’re not new to Befitting Style, then you know personal appearance is very important to me. My amazing mum raised me to always look my best. A couple of weeks ago, while being out and about, my Zara crop top ripped. If this…

B&H Photo Capturing Fashion at NYFW SS25
I can’t think of a better way to kick off New York Fashion Week than hanging with B&H Creators by B&H Photos and learning to capture fashion with Canon. I grew up watching YouTube and noticed that a lot of my faves used Canon cameras for their content. Although I found that interesting, I still never cared to use a Canon camera. Once I created my YouTube channel, I began filming with my Nikon D5500. I’ve only created with Nikons and played around a bit with Sonys so it was…
Fashinnovation Worldwide Talks 2024 – NYFW SS25
New York Fashion Week started a bit early for me as I kicked off the SS25 season at Fashinnovation Worldwide Talks which was filled with a wealth of knowledge. I’ve never attended a conference during NYFW but there’s a first time for everything. At Fashinnovation, industry leaders discussed sustainability, entrepreneurship, economic development, and trends. I threw on a purple and green plaid dress and went to the 11th annual Fashinnovation Conference. The sustainability panel resonated with me as I don’t believe we should throw away our clothes. Clothing should be…
Stripes and Solids During Tech Week
I recently learned about Tech Week and I knew I had to attend. As you know I’m not a tech girl but being a style-lover is just a part of me. My love for community building gets me excited about categories far beyond fashion, style, and beauty. I threw on a red and white top with a white mini skirt to check out a few tech week events and see what this new world is all about. The beauty of Tech Week is that there are businesses of various sizes…

How To Look Very Demure As A Non-Minimalist
How do we look demure, mindful, and cutesy as a non-minimalist? Demure is defined as reserved and modest in the Webster Dictionary. Jools Lebron recently popularized the word demure when referring to her nails on TikTok and it sparked an interest in many as people started to wonder what is demure about other forms of beauty such as makeup and fashion. As a non-minimalist, I don’t think being demure applies to me. For my girls who don’t like to keep it simple but still want to look demure, here are…
The Power of Consistency – Green Crop Top + Polka Dot Maxi Skirt
I’m so proud of my consistency with daily workouts. Wearing this green crop top with a white and green polka dot skirt revealed to me that my hard work has been paying off. Results don’t happen overnight but eating right and exercising often truly has incredible benefits. Self-care in this manner is very demure and it’s the secret sauce to life’s elevation. I’ve wanted 6 pack abs for about 10 years and still don’t have it. For the past 7 months, I’ve been working out 6 days a week and…
Kamala Harris Style For The Presidential Race – 10 Elevated Looks
In true Befitting Style fashion, it’s only right that we discuss Madame Vice President Kamala Harris’ style and what I’d love to see as we progress in this presidential election. The presidential candidate dresses like the average politician but how do we take it from average to extraordinary? It’s not every day that we get a woman of color as a presidential candidate in America. Of course, Harris’ style is not as important as the policies that she proposes but why not look exceptional while running this presidential race? Policies…
Neutrals for Dinner at Manuela DTLA
I had the pleasure of having dinner at Manuela in downtown Los Angeles so I kept it neutral with a beige crop top, beige and white stripe skirt, and brown heels. If you’re not new to Befitting Style, you probably already know that brunch is life but once in a while, I indulge in dinners. Filled with excitement, this was my first time eating at Manuela and I was excited to try a bit of as much as my stomach could manage. I started off with the delicious cream biscuits…
Graduation Guest Dress – Floral Midi Dress
What do you wear to a graduation when you’re not the one graduating? As a graduation guest, it’s important that you put your best foot forward. I find that graduation guests keep it casual as many opt for denim and t-shirts but I’ve always believed that graduations are an important affair. It’s not every day that your loved one gets a degree so put the t-shirts and jeans to the side, grab a dress, and show up like you care. I believe the more important the event, the greater the…
