How to Style Knee High Boots
Knee high boots? Yes. Church girls can wear knee high boots, too. Maybe you already knew that, but I didn't. There was something in my mind telling me to stay away from knee high boots, lace and cropped tops. But I am defying fashion rules from here on out. Modesty is one of those topics that we shy away from in the fashion blogging community.
Why I Got Baptized and My Testimony
The best thing that I could have ever done is to realize my own value. I've spent the last 24 years of my life trying to force people to see my value for the things that I could offer them while missing out on the bigger pictures that God loves me flaws and all.
Plaid Top + Gold Necklace + Roses Bag
I love this top. It's so versatile and free flowing. I've worn it more than a handful of times since I bought it from Old Navy in October. Black and white outfits have become my new obsession. Check out my pinterest board if you don't believe me. There's something classic, yet visually clean about pairing black and white pieces.
She Grinds from Monday to Sunday
"She grinds from Monday to Friday then from Friday to Sunday." When you work full-time, blog 24/7 and are active in ministry you can't afford a sick day. I jump out of the bed and straight into the books or online everyday. My calendar is always booked with work, church, content writing, photo shoots, fashion shows and family time.
Leather Jacket + Orange Strappy Heels
Fall is here and the dead things are falling like raindrops. It is refreshing to know that everything and everyone walking out of my life wasn't meant to stay. I hear this quote in some gospel song or Bishop T.D. Jakes video sermon. I cannot remember, but one thing for certain is that it's been sitting on my desktop ever since. I'm really into quotes, like really into them.
Post Grad Life: 1.5 Years Later
It's been a year and some change since I graduated from the University of Missouri. Time is literally flying. I turned 24 last month and can still remember the craziness of my 21st birthday in college. College days are a thing of the past that I still yearn from at times, but I've come to realize that I can't go back. Working 40+ hours per week forever is quite depressing unless you love what you do. I'm still learning what I love and deciding what I want for myself professionally, mentally and emotionally.
Fringe Top + Statement Necklace + Fro Love
Happy Monday! First, how cute is this fringe top from Label Content? This weekend was super eventful for me, from a fashion show, to new hair, to church, to organizing my home office and finally a trip to the laundromat. Did I mention spending Friday night sweating in a garage working out with my trainer? In light of everything that happen, I woke up grateful and lighter.
What I Wish I Knew About Dating Before I Turned 24
Sis, if he wants to bounce then tell him "Boy bye!" You deserve true, everlasting love with 1 man who cherishes you. I always thought that breakups were a reflection of how terrible I was or something that I did wrong, but as I get older I've come to realize that I have poor dating habits. As a serial dater, I've dated "the same man" more than once.
You Are Exactly Where You Are Supposed To Be
2016 is walking right out of my life and I'm glad to see it go. This year has been amazing, from being featured in Marie Claire Magazine to working with big brands like Starbucks to landing my first full-time job at an ad agency to becoming active in ministry at my church. 2016 has also been super scary... I started the year without a job and no money in my savings account and lot's of fear about what my future held.
How to Rock a Baby Pink Dress
For this look, I paired my new fav pink dress with my white chucks & denim jacket to create a relaxed, feminine fall look. I can't help the fact that I love soft colors and pink just so happens to be one of my favorites. The older I get, the more essential basics become to my style.
Black Lace Blouse and Strappy Heels for Date Night
Black and white never gets old. As my 24th birthday approaches, I've made an honest effort to hone in on my personal style. Looking through older images made me realize that my style, much like my life was all over the place. Gasps. There is a huge correlation between your external and internal if you ask me.
How to Style a Sequin Pencil Skirt + Metallic Oxfords
New York taught me to get a little overdressed. I'm still floating on cloud nine from my first time in the big apple. It's like those 4 days sparked a new fire in me to get back into fashion. That means more style posts and fashion shows. Old dreams die slow, ya know?
