So, even though there may be no more Ivy Park after the Noir collection, I am still rocking some of the outfits. I have some great workout gear as well as just cute clothes for a nice date night. I just love this sheer Camouflage Ivy Park catsuit, part of what my sister Beyoncé wore on her Renaissance Tour. Paired with a cute hat and some Louboutins, I am definitely “feelin myself.” Do you think Beyoncé will design more clothing?

So recently I stumbled upon God Save Queens and found the cutest lingerie, swimwear and dresses! I just loved their Gigi bikini and lucky for us in Florida, it’s still warm. Only a few beach days left until it cools off a little bit more and I’m savoring them!

So this past Taco Tuesday I was in Ft. Lauderdale and enjoyed happy hour at El Camino Restaturant on Las Olas Boulevard. The street was full of traffic and bustling with shops and restaurants. I stopped in Celebrity of Las Olas women’s clothing boutique which had some really cute apparel and accessories. In any case, they advised me that the food at El Camino was really good.
So, I went by and it just so happened to be Happy Hour. I had a carnitas and “gringo” (beef) taco, each were only three dollars. I also paired it with a kale salad and was quite full. They also had one of my favorite wine brands Decoy. They have a few locations in South Florida and I definitely recommend this one on Las Olas Boulevard!

Good morning! So it’s officially almost the holidays and these cute new gold shoes are perfect for the occasion. They are also fabulous for just a night out on the town with some gold hoop earrings that you can personalize (seen above).
I have a pair of sequined Betsey Johnson gold shoes that I’ve had for years. They have lasted for a long time, so never be afraid to buy designer as the quality is usually better but the pricepoint is higher. Anyway, have a good day!

Happy Halloween!! How are you feeling today? I know a lot of you have been celebrating all weekend. But today I wanted to share my Player #4 Football Gal costume from Fashion Nova. You know you can really find some good deals on Halloween online (even better than in store). I’m loving the blue sparkles and the white gloves, just magical. It also came with a small football purse, so cute! So what are you dressing up as tonight?

Hey y’all! So it’s that time of the week, Throwback Thursday! I thought I might post a lingerie shoot I did back in 2006. I was scouted when I was about 12 years old in Texas but my mother didn’t want me to get involved in that. I was again scouted in as a teen and got into modeling. Unfortunately, I started working in finance and stopped pursuing a modeling career. I have been a visual artist since I was a child and modeling, photography, art and fashion really go hand in hand.
Anyway, maybe one of these days, I’ll tell you more about it in a book or something? Anyway, happy almost weekend!
Sincerely,

Hey y’all! I recently had a conversation with my cousin in Texas who said she just sometimes had trouble finding good clothes for her body since she has had kids. She had several including twins, I remember when she first made the family announcement that she was expecting. What a joyous time.
So, anyway, I thought I would put together a few suggestions that are great for a new mom or just a tired one. These are right in line with the new Fall 2023 trends and will cover you up in the right places. Just remember you and your new family are beautiful, men could never deal with a pregnancy. We are strong!
The Chunky Sweater
Puffy Black Coats, a classic. And this Moncler one in the fashion shop.
Art inspired clothing (like mine). This Akris dress is a perfect statement piece for the office.
Denim skirts like this flowy Wash Lab Maxi Skirt
What do yall think? Dont stress about your bodies, you’re beautiful any kind of way. There’s always something to wear to flatter you, no matter your shape!

A brand named Hellessy caught my eye recently on the Neiman Marcus site. The embellished denim trend has been going on for quite some time now and I just thought this denim shirt and ribbon detailed jeans stood out. Sylvie Millstein started the brand out of her Soho apartment after working with other brands and retailers around the world. Don’t you just love the detail?
This beautiful velvet red rose on denim walked the runway for Fall/Winter 2023. Isn’t it just gorgeous?
She also did these fringed jeans for Winter 2021. We all wear denim, why not spice it up and stand out from the crowd? And don’t forget that Yves Saint Laurent denim handbag with gold hardwear in the fashion shop. Seriously, I have put it to work. It is truly a fabulous investment piece.
Anyway, I am truly inspired by the trend. So much so that you may remember my M2 “Sunset on a Florida Parking Lot” Embellished Denim from a few years ago. It’s always great to experiment with everyday basics.
