I kicked off New York Fashion Week at Long Island Sports Cars. I’ve never attended a Fashion Week event held in Long Island so I was excited to see what going out east has to offer. I decided to attend the event very last minute so I grabbed the grey crochet jacket that I crocheted a few years ago and paired it with a brown suede dress and blue thigh high boots. I must admit that I was a bit (definitely more than a bit) skeptical as most NYFW events…
I’ve been creating Crochet Jackets for a few years. It started off as a design that I challenged myself to create because to my knowledge, these crochet jackets only existed in my brain. Over the years, I’ve created this crochet jacket in several colors. Although I started creating these jackets a few years ago, it’s always fun to work on a new color. I was recently inspired by my auburn box braids to create a brown one. Crocheting is my favorite pastime. Once I begin creating, I have to see…
I haven’t been going out much but I had to step out and celebrate JDot’s birthday. I threw on a purple ruffle dress from Zara and accessorized it with the Befitting Style Linked Earrings from the Link Up Collection. It’s the latest collection from Befitting Style and I’m so excited about it! It’s one of my favorites so far as the antique gold-tone always draws me. Nothing like celebrating the gift of life with good people and having my best friend, Marllory by my side was special treat as she…
As I reflect on this year, let’s reflect on my 20s really quickly since I basically exited that decade this year. I hear that your 20s are when you make a lot of mistakes and it’s okay not to have your life together because most people don’t have their life together in their 20s and I’m glad I heard that before entering my 20s but it still didn’t keep me from wishing I had my life together in my twenties. My twenties came with a lot of ups and downs/some…
I’m totally not a dinner girl. Brunch is my favorite thing to do. I somehow got convinced to dine at La Borca Cantina at Pier 81 and there were definitely some pros and cons. Best part is I finally got to wear this neutral high-slit mini dress that perfectly fit the occasion. I accessorized the look with the Befitting Style Marvel White Earrings and white Zara heels. Brunch is life but when my best friend, Marllory Perez said she prefers to do dinner instead of brunch to celebrate her 31st…
I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t brunch so its only right that I threw on a taupe stripe dress and stuffed this wonderful face of mine. As a lover of discounts, what gets me most excited about this Zara dress is that I got it on sale about a year ago. It was perfect for brunch and celebrating the launch of Sticky Wangs! I don’t think I’ll ever be able to stop wearing the Befitting Style Dashing Earrings. It was the perfect addition to the dress and has become…
When I laid my eyes on this multicolor stripe dress designed by Christopher John Rogers for Target, I immediately thought I would wear it as a dress. Little did I know that once I threw it on for Lon Burgundy’s Flatbush Mixer, it would end up being a top for the evening. I had to throw on the Befitting Style Serenity Earring from the Bliss Collection! The more color blocking, the better. I absolutely love this hairstyle! Its my fave for the summer! The bigger the hair, the better. Check…
I found a multicolored gem from Target. I don’t know about you but I’m absolutely in love with the Christopher John Rogers collection at Target. I’m currently listening to The Cutting Room Floor by Recho Omondi while typing this blog post and realized that this is truly one of my favorite podcasts of all time and I listen (and watch) a lot of podcasts but that’s just how great this podcast is. The Visual Lexicon episode which aired on June 23, 2021 featured Christopher John Rogers. I already knew he’s…
For an evening hangout, I wore a blue stripe one-shoulder dress. What I love most about this dress is the asymmetrical silhouette at the shoulder which is definitely inspired by Self Portrait. A few years ago, it was hard to scroll down Instagram and not see bloggers wearing Self Portrait dresses and tops. The aesthetic is so unique that its hard not to notice. When I found this dress at an affordable price, I had to snag it. When I purchased this dress years ago, I thought I would have…
I find that many don’t opt for modest swimwear anymore. Bikinis have gotten tinier over time and with most bikinis fitting like a thong nowadays, partially covering your butt feels like a thing of the past. Realizing that swimwear has gotten smaller leads me to wonder if modest swimwear can still be fun or is it now categorized as a little grandma-ish? I hung out by the pool in an off-the-shoulder high waist bikini that surprisingly covers a decent amount of my butt. It reminds me of the bikinis that…
