So I've been living up to the moniker on my tee lately. And with my birthday a few days away---I don't plan on letting up soon. LOL. It's been one heck of a year and I have so much to celebrate and be grateful for. So when you sip on some of your favorite champagne, then add a little retail therapy---what do you have? Slayage. I've been in celebratory mode as of late and with good reason. So as I live out the final year in my thirties, I plan on representing to the fullest. Giving 100% to the very things and people who are totally deserving. Embracing all the simple things in life that once seemed so invaluable. So...

Hey Beauties! Spring has officially sprung. And with flowers blooming then comes  allergies looming. I should really own stock in many of the allergy drug companies as much as I consume around this time of year. But a few sniffs and puffs won't stop me from enjoying the true beauty of the season. OAN---My birthday is quickly approaching and I'm feeling some kind of way. Yup, I'm practically holding on to what's left of my fabulous 30s. My! How time flies. They say...

Hey Beauties, I hope this post finds you in great spirit. Lots going on in my neck of the woods. Sometimes I find myself getting down about things not going the way that I intended them to or things not moving as fast as I'd like ---and then I realize that I'm not counting my blessings and quickly get back in line, sipping on a nice cold glass of gratitude. Yup. Looking at the glass full rather than half empty. Sometimes it's easy for us to get consumed in our own misery allowing us to lose sight of the more consequential things in life. Like. The residents of Flint don't have clean and safe water. Or. Checking on that person who...

Hey Beauties, Hope you are loving the life you are living. Because ultimately, that's what life is really all about right? I wish I had known this earlier on in my adulthood. It's funny how we are conditioned to do what society defines. Following that straight and narrow path. Walking the fine lines of either black or white. Staying well within the confines of that square box. The box that others provided us, I might add. Truth be told, life really begins when we push the envelope by stepping way outside of that box. Creating a life that we deserve.  Photography | Nick Pecori Outfit Details: Hat: Saks Off 5th | T-Shirt: Fashion Fab Boutique (coming soon) | Pants: Fashion Fab Boutique |...

My approach to style is pretty simple. Present your best self and attempt to deliver with sophisticated excellence. I often get asked to describe my personal style and I've gotta be honest, it usually took me a long time to firmly come up with an answer. Why? Because I was so desperately searching for that signature aspect of my style that quite frankly didn't exist. It wasn't the classic red lips. It wasn't the classic cateye sunnies. The hair. The silhouette. Signature style doesn't have to reflect the same. It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to look the same day-to-day. Some people choose a more refined and specific look; like the younger Janelle Monae or a look that is...
