Bralettes on the Runway for Spring/Summer 2023
So wow what beautiful clothes were on the runway for this seasons’ Spring/Summer 2023 collections. There were several trends but one of the most prominent in my opinion were bralettes. Cute skirts, bodysuits and dresses featuring cutouts and bralettes were all over the runway this season. Forget a crop top, just go for a bralette. Would you wear one?

Black Pleated Tulle Skirt from “Sunset on a Florida Parking Lot” Collection
Hey everybody. So, I’ve worn this skirt once in and around town and I just love it. It is indeed from my “Sunset on a Florida Parking Lot” collection which you can see archived here. It’s light and fun and perfect for a night out. I have not been out on the town ever since a man attacked me and cracked my teeth. It will come one day soon, hopefully. I’ve also been wearing this perfect shade of red lipstick that I adore. It is perfect with an all black look. I might have too much black in my closet as I am honestly a New Yorker. Anyway, are you enjoying fashion month? So much to see and check out. Will be back soon.

Queen Elizabeth II’s Iconic Fashion Moments
What will we do without Queen Elizabeth II? I am deeply saddened by her passing but I know she lived a ripe full life well into her 90s and was very blessed. I wish I could jet over there now. Her work in communities and around the world is highly notable. She even challenged me to fight like a queen and break out of very dangerous, negative situations. Just like a warm, loving grandmother. But, today, I wanted to touch on the fact that she wore beautiful fashion pieces.
Above you can see her on her Coronotion Day in January 1953, dress by Sir Norman Hartnell.
According to Caroline Rush of the British Fashion Council, many of her outfits will be on display at Buckingham Palace. The Queen’s long-term personal stylist Angela Kelly explained why the Queen often opted for bold color schemes in her 2019 memoir, The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen, The Dresser and the Wardrobe. “The Queen is conscious that she must be easily visible to as many people as possible when she is out and about, so I choose mainly striking colors that will be easily seen,” Kelly wrote.
Queen Elizabeth II was the first monarch to visit Australia in 1954 and she wore this beautiful emerald green dress. She also wore a bright green suit (seen below) along with Meghan Duchess of Sussex to open the new Mersey Gateway Bridge in 2018.
And, lastly, Her Majesty wore a gorgeous wedding gown back in 1947 designed by Sir Norman Hartnell. The dress incorporated 10,000 seed pearls and crystals in an iconographic scheme of national and Commonwealth floral emblems. Her train was 15 feet long and she looked as happy as could be. I’m sure that she is with her husband now Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Let’s keep the Queen’s memory alive, God Bless the Queen.

Break My Soul by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter
So my sister Beyoncé Knowles-Carter came out with a lovely album recently named Renaissance and it’s fire. If you haven’t caught some of my social media, I have been dealing with a sick rapist stalker that is doing anything to bring me down using black magic and contacting me via third parties. It’s been awful ever since they had a man attack me and crack my teeth last year. They are trying to break up all relationships I have and have threatened to kill me, rape me and my unborn kids. And, yea, I don’t talk too much but I am indeed in a loving, healthy relationship but this sick stalker won’t leave us alone.
Something I’m dealing with and that’s why I’ve been absent folks…unfortunately.
BUT SIS Beyoncé has come out with a beautiful album that is different from the rest. And one of my favorite songs is Break My Soul. That’s what this sick stalker is trying to do but still I rise.
If you haven’t checked out the video, peep it above. And, yea, you can’t break my soul.

Coach Flats to Spice It Up
Howdy folks! I have been caught up with other work. Started working at a bridal shop and have been quite busy. I have to wear conservative black clothing and frankly it gets quite boring. However, today I am spicing up a basic black dress with some pink and black Coach flats.
They are so stylish and Neiman Marcus has some of their handbags on sale that you can see above. A nice handbag and cute shoes can always spice up conservative business casual clothing. Talk to you later!
