 I'm back again fashion lovers, but I promise you it's worth it.

I recently discovered a new sustainable shoe brand that one of my favorite fashion bloggers Bianca Foley talked about in her  Instagram stories and they looked amazing. The brand was Essen The Label, so I decided to look more into them and I was impressed with the quality of the shoes and the attention to detail. Effortless from afar, elegant up close.

On My Beauty Wishlist: OSEA

Image
 Happy Thursday/Friday Eve to all of you who are doing well and are ready to enjoy your weekend that you well deserved.  I've been a fan of the Vegan and Cruelty-Free beauty brand, OSEA since I saw a beauty influencer talk about them on YouTube. So I went on their website, and I was a fan ever since. Jenefer Palmer, The founder of  OSEA created this brand in her kitchen sink after a decade of working as Spa Director at the historic Murrieta Hot Springs. Paired with her training in various healing modalities including Polarity Therapy, Acupressure, Shiatsu, and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Jenefer was a thought leader in the burgeoning wellness space. Her desire to create active, natural and clean skincare was revolutionary, and what began as a personal passion soon evolved into a fully-fledged beauty brand, manifesting the seed of her idea into reality. The other half of OSEA, Melissa Palmer Co-Founder and CEO inherited her mother’s belief that the ocean is the s...

My Fashion Obsession: Pearls

Image
 Happy Tuesday Fashion Lovers, I'm so happy to talk to you all again I hope that you all had a great Mother's Day weekend with your mother and your family.  I'm not going to lie to y'all, I didn't understand why some women love pearls. It reminds me so much of my grandmother, old and stuffy. But as I got older, I realized that pearls are so elegant and timeless and they are making a real statement in the fashion at the moment.  Lupita Nyong'o wore a dress designed by Calvin Klein at the 2016 Oscars Awards that had 150,000 pearls on it.  It's wedding season, and I want to make sure that my brides are covered. Jimmy Choo has two pairs of shoes that display pearls so beautifully. The Sacora is a vintage-inspired sandal crafted in sophisticated white satin with all-over pearls. Boasting an elegant V-cut peep toe and dainty ankle strap, this pair is a perfect bridal option. The key feature of this style is the elegant pearl that adorns the upper. This shoe is pri...
