Sisterparty Cutout, Sassafras Dinner Date and Doggie Park

So, how was your holiday weekend? It’s been extremely hot here in South Florida, 90s and above every day. Perfect beach weather. I went to Sassafras for dinner with my bae and the food, ambiance and company couldn’t have been more perfect. And this cutout dress from Sisterparty was perfectly cool enough for me to wear in this heat!

We collectively ordered the fried chicken, double smashburger, fried green tomatoes and a key lime mango tart. It’s one of our favorite restaurants in the area. We ended the night with a stroll on the beach and the water was really warm! I also took my dog Vivi to the doggie park and she got really dirty playing in the grass. Lastly, I did some reality tv binge watching of Married at First Sight. Love that show. All in all I had a great weekend, what did you do?

Fave Looks from the BET Awards Red Carpet

Halle Bailey in Avellano

Well, happy summer! Global warming is definitely a thing as it is piping hot outside. The Florida sun is like a sauna radiator. Anyway, did you watch the BET Awards last night? It’s always great to see black people doing great things. Usher received the Lifetime Achievement Award while newer artists like Tyla from South Africa were recognized as well.

And, of course, we can’t forget to mention the red carpet! Halle Bailey, Niecey Nash and more were just stunning on the red carpet. Check out some of my favorite looks from the red carpet below. Which was your favorite?

Micas Delivery

Hey y’all, how have you been? I’ve been working, going through old things and facing some serious challenges. There are religious and cultural wars going on and it seems people want to be at war with me. I have always loved fashion and art, but it seems when I paint or create …there is a battle. I try not to become some kind of ‘angry black woman’ but domestic violence, rape, assault, and abuse should never be widely promoted or accepted. 

I find myself asking questions as to why government or the police would ignore such a thing. But, yea, all is not bad. I recently became a fan of Micas even though the first time I ordered from them, my package was lost. They have some cute clothing, great for the summer. 

What have yall been up to? Are you getting these vibes from the world as well?

Swimsuit Season: A Few Cute Bathingsuits

Hey there, TGIF! How are you doing? So, we’ve entered the Spring season and I hope you’re enjoying it. It’s almost time to put on a bikini and sit by the pool. If you’re like me you probably have a bunch of bathing suits already. Does it really hurt to have a few more new ones? Not at all! I came across a few new swimwear pieces from God Saves Queens, Reina Olga, Diesel and Oséree that I just love. Check out a few more below!

Hot Pink Good American

So, how are you and happy hump day. I just love this Good American combo outfit of pants, a blazer and this tube dress. Who said that work clothes can’t be colorful and fun? I’ve actually been doing some continuing education classes required for some of my financial services licenses and enjoy wearing this combo that can double as a party dress too. Khloe Kardashian definitely had the right idea for this suit that can go from day to night. And, these Good American pieces are black owned and founded. What professional clothes have you been wearing?

Puffy Knee High Boots at Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2024 Show

So, how are yall doing? I came across these puffy knee high boots checking out the Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2024 show. I would totally wear these, they definitely make a statement. The show really features some futuristic looks that remind me of an upscale Star Wars movie. What do you think, would you wear these boots?

Purple Workout Romper That Doubles…

Whats going on? How was your weekend? So I’ve been working out trying to lose a few pounds and grabbed this purple workout romper from Fashion Nova not too long ago. I just love it, it’s very comfortable, stylish and workout/sweat friendly. Purple is my favorite color as you may be able to tell and the romper doubles as a playsuit that looks good with cute heels or a bag (Steve Madden pictured here). I’ve been doing two workouts a day a few times a week and have found myself in athleisure quite often. Working out always centers me and I think everyone should do it for their well-being. Have you been in the gym?

Odd Silhouettes and Shapes at Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2024

So, this fashion month Alexander McQueen showcased some strong, odd shapes and silhouettes on the runway for Fall/Winter 2024. I’m just loving the experimentation with shapes- widened hips, different necklines and broadened shoulders. Below shows a great padded shoulder and broadened shoulders from the men and women’s Spring 2024 show. And I just love some of the oversized sweaters and coats that were on the runway as well. What do you think? Would you try wearing any of these shapes?

Karl Lagerfeld Pearl Chain Boots + Denim Skirt

So recently I stumbled upon a Karl Lagerfeld store at a nearby outlet mall and had no idea that the store was in West Palm Beach. Their items are cute and makes me wish that Karl was still alive. What a legend, right? From their button down tops to chain and pearl boots, the store will excite you about Karl’s legacy. Recently wore this Karl Lagerfeld t-shirt, Mother denim skirt (not similar but very cute Aknvas Rivington ruffled skirt here) , lace-up and Karl Lagerfeld pearl chain boots and a vintage black Rebecca Minkoff purse (similar here). The boots remind me of Chanel’s 2013 chain boots featured on the runway here.
