Image
Happy Thursday to all the beauty lovers out there! Hope you’re doing great, had an amazing week, and are ready to enjoy the weekend just a few hours away. While browsing the LYS website, I discovered the Think Bright Glow + Hydrate Serum with Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid, and it’s too good not to share. From a Black woman-owned beauty brand, this vegan, skin-quenching face serum delivers a radiant glow and lasting hydration. Packed with antioxidant-rich Vitamin C to help fight visible signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles, and Sodium Hyaluronate for deep, long-lasting moisture, it also features pineapple and pomegranate extracts to revive dull, dehydrated skin, plus licorice extract to reduce dark spots and uneven tone. This luxurious serum is priced at $28.00. https://lysbeauty.com/products/think-bright-glow-hydrate-serum-with-vitamin-c-hyaluronic-acid-old?variant=40784887709861 To all my fellow beauty lovers, I hope you enjoyed this blog post.

On My Fashion Wishlist: Dooney And Bourke Alto Camilla

Image
Hello, fashion friends! I hope everyone is doing great, enjoyed a wonderful weekend, and is staying productive during the work week. Dooney & Bourke has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I still recall my aunt giving me her old bag, and the leather has truly stood the test of time. A few weeks ago, while browsing their website, I came across the Alto Camilla Bag and instantly fell in love with its style. So, today’s blog post is all about why this stunning bag deserves a spot in my growing Dooney & Bourke collection. The Alto Camilla offers plenty of space wrapped in a sleek, stylish design. Inside, it easily fits a tablet or small laptop, a continental wallet, makeup bag, planner, and sunglasses case, making it ideal for both work and travel. A center zip divider keeps things tidy, while a zip pocket, slip pocket, and credit card slot add extra convenience. With its structured shape and roomy interior, it’s made for women who appreciate quality craftsmanshi...

Black Owned Handbag Company That You Need To Know About: Azharri.

Image
Happy Monday! Hope everyone is doing well, had an amazing weekend, and is ready to take on the new week ahead. Combining two of my favorite things—a Black woman-owned business and handbags—always excites me. I’ve been a fan of Azharri ever since I stumbled across their TikTok a few months ago, so I had to share this brand for others to discover. Azharri embodies confidence, self-expression, and purpose. I created these bags for those who embrace their identity unapologetically. Each piece is intentionally crafted, inspired by my love for creativity and style. I noticed a gap in the market for accessories that are not only beautiful but also serve as a reminder that luxury is deeply personal. The Azha is at the top of my fashion wishlist, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. This gray cowhide handbag puts a bold twist on the classic structured silhouette. Made from genuine cowhide, each bag features its own unique pattern. It pairs effortlessly with our handcrafted stainless steel chain charm ...

My Fashion Obsession: Millennial Pink.

Image
Thank goodness it's Friday, my loves. I hope your week was wonderful and that you're ready for the weekend we've all been looking forward to. Millennial Pink is trending, but honestly, when hasn’t it been? With spring right around the corner, it always comes to mind. I love the soft, feminine vibe it brings to fashion, especially since not every woman wants to wear bold colors in the spring. I have a few pieces and accessories in my closet, and I love bringing them out during the season. This look is from the Ferragamo Spring/Summer 2025 Ready-To-Wear Collection, and I love the balletcore vibe it has, a trend that was big last year. The J.Crew cardigan is a must-have for my closet, featuring a classic fit with a body length of 20 1/2", sleeve length of 31", and hitting right at the hip. It’s currently on sale for $141.99, down from the original price of $158.00. https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens/categories/clothing/sweaters/cardigan/CP416?cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww&srcC...

On My Beauty Wishlist: Oui The People Souk Honey Eau De Parfum.

Image
Hello, fellow beauty lovers! On this Thursday, I hope everyone is doing well and feeling ready for the weekend we’ve all worked so hard for. This February, I’m featuring Black-owned beauty brands, including this gem. One of my favorite compliments to receive is, “You smell good.” While browsing the Oui The People website, I came across The Souk Honey Eau De Parfum. I adore perfumes with a honey scent—they take me right back to my childhood. Naturally, I had to share it with all my friends, because that’s just the kind of friend I am. Soulful, layered, and deeply personal, Souk Honey is a story told on the skin—a delicate, long-lasting fragrance that stays close. Like the first rays of sunlight, top notes of orange blossom and neroli nectar uplift, capturing the quiet radiance of a slow morning. At its heart, gentle warmth emerges as cardamom and dates balance its floral essence. Amber and sandalwood notes unfold, blending into the rich sweetness of manuka honey. The result is a second-...

Hello everyone, and happy Wednesday to all the fashion lovers out there. I hope your morning is off to a great start and that you’re already counting down the days until the weekend. While watching the Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2026 Ready-To-Wear Collection, I spotted the Bolero Bowling Bag and later read an article about it in Fashion Magazine. It felt like a sign that I had to share this bag with you so you could check it out and consider adding it to your collection. The Bolero Bowling Bag Medium, crafted from black smooth calfskin with a plum nappa lambskin lining and aged-gold hardware, is featured in looks 4 and 29 of the Balenciaga Summer 26 Collection.

There’s also a zipped pocket on the bottom with a matching pull tab and ring, plus one main compartment. This bag is priced at $3,950. https://www.balenciaga...

Black Owned Shoe Brand That You Need To Know About: Vaila Shoes.

Image
Hello everyone, and happy Sunday! I hope you’re all doing well during this snowstorm and staying as fashionable as possible. Today marks the start of Black History Month, and I want to share a shoe brand that caters to women with larger feet, like me. While scrolling through Instagram, I came across Vaila Shoes and loved how stylish and reasonably priced they were. I feel it's only right to spread the word about this brand so you can support this Black- and woman-owned business. Ahriana Edwards started Vaila Shoes out of frustration from never being able to find her shoe size in quality high heels. Having always had larger feet than the average woman, she spent years feeling left out, frustrated, and confused. Left out because the most stylish shoes rarely came in her size, frustrated because her size deserved as much attention as smaller ones, and baffled that fashion, despite becoming more inclusive, still overlooked the need for fashionable, high-quality heels in extended sizes....
