Camoflauge Ivy Park

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?

Cute New Gold Shoes

       

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!

Player #4: Halloween Football Gal

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?

Throwback Thursday: Lingerie Shoot 2006

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,

New Mom? Fall 2023 Styles Just For You

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!

Inspiration: Hellessy Embellished Denim

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.

Good morning! Have you been watching the fashion month shows? I couldn’t help but notice the floral trend on the runway. Yes, April showers bring may flowers but it’s defintely present on the runway along with the see-through trend. And I see plus-size is being included more and more as well.

I’ve always liked flowers as I used to help my mom plant tulips at my house in Washington, D.C. We also had a cherry blossom tree that would just be gorgeous right around my birthday. Check out my artwork shop, especially my recent Flowers Everyday painting.

Anyway, check out more from the runways below!
