Porsha William’s Versace-Inspired Pop Art Dress for Atlanta Pride

Hey y’all, how are you doing? So, I just loved Porsha Williams from the Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Versace-inspired pop art dress that she wore to Atlanta Pride. I’ve been a fan of hers and the Housewives franchise for many years and love watching her on the show. She is also indeed in a relationship with Patrice “Sway” McKinney and stands up for the gay community in Atlanta. 

Anyway, did you see her dress? It was custom made by Rey Ortiz and is a recreation of the 1991 Marilyn Monroe x Andy Warhol Versace pop art printed dress. I believe her face was printed on the dress and shoes. Porsha also wore signature custom jewelry by Emmanuel Constantinos Tsakiris of House of Emmanuele couture jewelry. Just fabulous.

What The F*cK Hell Been Goin On

   

Hey y’all, how are you doing? Know it’s been a while. What the f*ck hell been going on you say? Everything. I’ve been keeping it low key this summer. A few trips to the beach with my boo, dog park with my Vivi and throwing down in the kitchen. Still running from a domestic violence offender I saw a a few times in 2011. Chile. There’s a lot of R. Kelly’s out there, the police turn often turn a blind eye and expect women and children to fend for themselves until there’s some kind of public outcry. 

Other than that, I’ve been wearing jean shorts because it is extremely hot in Florida. Also, copped this ALC Simone Studded Leather handbag which is actually on sale. Paired it with this denim Good American dress that has proved to be a really good buy. This past weekend I went out to a new club downtown and wore this cute JLorraine Designs polka dot jumpsuit. It was so comfortable and cute. I also pulled out my Sammy B. butterfly crop top and recently wore this cute see-through Fashion Nova bodysuit for my birthday this past April. It was cute for the occasion. Shout out to Elisabetta’s Ristorante downtown, their pasta and food is delicious. Peep more photos below. What have y’all been wearing in this heat?

10 Fave Handbags at the Fendi Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 Show

So, happy Milan Fashion Week! Have you been watching the shows? I caught the Fendi Spring/Summer 2025 show and fell in love with several of the handbags on the runway. From tassles to oversized clutches, to ombre and embroidery, the bags were oh-so-beautiful. I’ve found that investing in designer bags is important. Buy a cheap bag and nine times out of ten, it will only last you for a year or so depending on how often you wear it. Some of these bags are classic and can last forever. I even noticed that the see-through trend that Fendi embraced for next spring has influenced some of their handbag designs. 

Anyway, check out more of my favorites below!

Proenza Schouler Cutout

Good afternoon! It’s been so hot down here in South Florida that your dresses have got to be breathable. So I’ve been wearing this Proenza Schouler cutout dress that has been somewhat light and airy. I also recently copped these J. W. Anderson leather flats that go with almost everything, a really good buy (shoes and similar below). I pair it with my yellow Rebecca Minkoff handbag which sets off the yellow in the dress. The cutout trend is here to stay for a while, have you picked up on the trend?

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!
