Colourful look for the fete's we're not attending

in ,

I can’t believe we’re almost at the end of July…

Normally I’d be buying tickets to numerous Caribana events and asking my friends which fetes we’re reaching. Instead I’m looking at last year’s pictures and hoping for a distance Caribana party in the park? Can someone make that happen?

This outfit is an ode to all the boat parties I’m not attending but would be looking cute at ☺️.

I’m wearing a pink bodysuit and pull on pleated tangerine pants. An easy and comfortable look to pull off. I love pleats in general and I find that pleats are easy to dress up and down.

Man Style Monday - LaKeith Stanfield

in ,

Today’s MSM is LaKeith Stanfield 

This is really a LaKeith Stanfield appreciation post lol. Whoever his agent is I need then in my life because in the last couple of years Stanfield has been booked and busy. Each project he acted in was different from the other from ‘Uncut Gems’ to ‘The Photograph’.

Stanfield is quirky, cool, and handsome (and I can’t say anything else because I’m married lol)

Ready for brunch - styling

in ,

As things begin to open up (depending on where you live) brunch is becoming an option again. Considering we’ve been shut in, doing the MOST for brunch is definitely in order.  Even though I’m 5’2 ½  I love wide leg pants, I find that the silhouette makes me feel taller and slimmer. The pants I’m wearing here are silk from Theory and are quite flowy which I believe adds extra sas! The cropped organza top I’m wearing is from M boutique, it can be worn on the shoulder but I like to style it off the shoulder. Mainly, I feel like when worn off the shoulder it creates a nicer visual on me.

Now I personally will not be going to any restaurants but you can find me in a park having socially distanced brunch with my peeps ✌🏾.

Styling a slip dress

in

I remember being skeptical when slip dresses began to trend. I felt that they only seemed to look good on thin people and in some cases looked like a slip you’d wear under a dress. I can say that part of the difficulty of finding a slip dress that fit was the cut of the dress itself. Once I found a cut that worked I found this style to be very sexy and sensual without showing a lot of skin.

Have you tried the slip dress style? What are some things you like or dislike about slip dresses?

P.S. If you’re someone who is top heavy and must wear a bra, here is a slip dress style that would work really well with a bra:





Why everyone needs a pair of black pants

in ,

While we’re stuck inside many of us are staring longingly at our closets and that has us evaluating all the clothing we own.

One staple that everyone should own is a pair of well fitting black pants. Whether you’re new to the workforce (just graduated, etc.) or you’re trying to simplify your wardrobe (e.g. capsule wardrobe) a good pair of black pants can make all the difference and is worth the time it takes to  find the perfect pair.  

Black pants are a staple because they are a great base for dressing up or down. I’ve styled my black pants to fit in casual, work, and dressy situations. If you’re trying to get the most out of every piece in your wardrobe black pants will go the extra mile.
