Create and Cultivate Style Summit

This weekend I attended Create & Cultivate Style Summit in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. It’s part of a much larger Underground Lauderdale event whose second part is in March. There were numerous panelists talking everything from blogging to Instagram to working full-time in fashion. Natalie Suarez from Natalie Off Duty and her sister Dylana Suarez spoke as well as model Rocky Barnes. There was a fun styling challenge and a cocktail hour. We had a great time. Check out more photos below!

unclesam-worldwarii-poster-6201143-oWell the day is here folks! Election Day. Have you voted yet? Make sure you go vote.

If you’re a woman or a minority, it’s especially important for you to vote since people took abuse, fought and even died for your right to vote.

If you need help finding your polling place, check out this website. To look at your sample ballot, go to https://ballotpedia.org and visit www.ontheissues.org to get info on who’s running in your local elections and how they’ve voted on the issues.

Happy Election Day folks! Make sure you go vote.

Did You Watch the Debate Last Night?

061715-hillary-clinton-pantsuits-lead

Did you watch the debate last night? Hillary Clinton wore a fire-red pant suit as per her usual and threw jabs with Trump last night. Her pant suits are a little boring but work well for her political persona. Pant suits can be very comfortable, I hardly ever see Hillary in a dress.

Anyway, are you registered to vote? It’s National Voter Registration Day. Make sure you’re ready for November 8th, a big day in America. Register here if you aren’t already registered.

As SS17 Comes In…

As the weather changes and gives way to Fall, let’s remember this awesome Spring and Summer that we had this year. And let’s get excited about the new Spring collections for next year debuting this month.

I remember this shoot I did some time ago in the Spring where I wore a Bebe white skirt and top. It’s a great outfit for the office to the afterwork spot. And those sunglasses are fabulous even for now as the seasons change.

Turquoise looks great on my skin tone. You have to pay attention to what colors look great for you. I’ve worn this outfit so many times, check out more work outfits here!

Funky Graffiti Wall

IMG_0946

I love graffiti. There’s just something so rebellious and beautiful about it. I recently came across this door downtown and just thought it was really cool. New York is a dirty, grungy city but this is the kind of beauty that you can randomly find on the street sometimes.

Have a great day and don’t forget to check out some of my new paintings here.
