L.A. Fashion Weekend!

Last weekend I had the amazing opportunity of attending a few fashion shows in Los Angeles for Fashion Weekend. My good friend Joanna de'Shay (Owner/Designer of BRL) was invited, and was ever so generous to extend an invite to me as well. What a doll she is! :) When I unpacked my wardrobe Joanna said I might be slightly overdressed...she was right! Lol! I am used to the extravagant & dramatic NY fashion that I packed NY types of clothing which were a bit much for L.A. Fortunately, Joanna saved the trip by bringing me samples from her clothing line: Black Russian Label. You'll see a photo below of me wearing a gorgeous cobalt blue hand-made tier skirt that Joanna made & gave to me. I paired it with a black tank top (also BRL), and ended up wearing it Saturday night lol. We had an amazing time at the shows, and I am  now a big fan of designer Anthony Franco. He had a fabulous collection for menswear and womenswear. Funny story, I fell madly in love with this blazer this nice gentlemen was wearing. It looked like a piece of art. It was love at first sight, and I had to take a pic with him wearing it. It was definitely a fabulous weekend! : )

Styling Off,

Hello beautiful people! Happy Holidays! oh, December. such a special month. symbolizing the end of another year. If you're reading this, you've withstood everything that was designed to defeat you this year! Go, You! 🎆 2022 started off pretty rough for me but smoothed out as the year went on. I was blessed with opportunities to connect with old friends, change my scenery, make new friends, create and have Time to truly sit & think (that last one is good/bad LOL! #overthinker) While thinking/reflecting I realized this was a very transformative year for me. It seemed at every turn I learned more and more about myself & my relationships. Truth be told It brought up some ugly truths, and honestly had me thinking I was figuring everything out late or delayed in my Own life. but then I remembered a quote by my dear friend Carrie Bradshaw "Your 30's are for the lessons"... look at me learning lessons & growing & Healing. and apparently on time.

FashionAly Fangirling: Quinta Brunson

Image
Hey peeps! How's it goin in your world? The first time I saw Quinta Brunson was while watching "A Black Lady Sketch Show" on HBO when it premiered season one. Shortly after I saw Quinta on her hit ABC series "Abbott Elementary". Both shows are delightful, and if you haven't heard of either you must be living under a rock! Just sayin. Seriously though, Abbott Elementary is one of my favorite shows these days. Like everyone else in the world I am anxiously awaiting season two. I get that classic feel-good vibe while watching. The same vibe I used to get while watching T.G.I.F shows back in the day. If you don't know, T.G.I.F - 'Thank God it's Friday' premiered back in the 90's on ABC. It was a weekly Friday night lineup of about 4 feel-good tv shows. *Trying hard not to age myself* I must humbly say, they just don't make 'em like that anymore. Anywho, to no surprise Abbott Elementary was recognized at the 2022 Emmy Awards with 7 tot

My Best Friend's Closet

Image
Hey there friends! Been a lil' minute. Hope you've all been in high spirits.   Well, let me begin by saying Happy November! I know I sound like a broken record, but honestly, how is it MID-NOVEMBER?! Wasn't it just Summertime? Even though I'm already missing the warmer temps, I gotta admit November always reminds me to slow down and be thankful. Gratitude and Positive Thinking are key elements. I may not have everything I want, but I have everything I need, and for that I give all thanks to God.  I am a very blessed woman. I consider my lifelong friendships to be one of my life's biggest blessings. I suppose it's more like Sisterhood at this point in life💗. Which leads me to another segment of My Best Friend's Closet.  Once again, Essy let me play in her closet and style her up! They say "do something you Love and you'll never work another day in your life" (or something along those lines), and for me playing dress up hardly feels like I'm
