Life Of A Fashion Blogger

  Hello once more, fashion enthusiasts. I hope you're all doing well this Tuesday and enjoyed a wonderful weekend.  It's been a while since I discussed a jewelry brand, but I think you'll really appreciate the one I'm about to share. While browsing YouTube, I came across Lela Sophia discussing her recent handbag purchase from The Row. During her video, she mentioned that she owns a jewelry brand with the same name. I decided to check out her website, and I was captivated by several of her unique designs.  Léla Sophia is a line of fine jewelry inspired by ancient Amazigh patterns, traditional filigree, and the natural landscape of Morocco, all elements of the designer's North African heritage. Founded and designed by Léla Sophia, the eponymous brand is a proud, independent, Arab woman owned and operated company.  The amulets, cartouche rings, and diamond-shaped medallions evoke ancient symbolism and protective motifs; thanks to the custom hand-carved nature, no two p...

  Hello, and Happy Thursday/Friday Eve to all my fellow beauty enthusiasts! I'm really thankful to be here with you once more. We've reached the weekend, so let's celebrate!   Sarah Creal is an influential brand builder, product innovator, and CEO. Chances are, you’re already familiar with her work: In her 30-year career, she has been a force behind some of the most iconic cosmetics brands in the world Prada Beauty, Tom Ford Beauty, Aerin, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, and Victoria Beckham Beauty, to name a few.  Sarah grew up in the beauty industry. The trouble is, the beauty industry hasn’t exactly kept up with her. Over the years, she has witnessed great advances in ingredients and technology. Yet, most of the products out there are still being developed for women in their 20s and 30s, whose young skin, young eyes, young lashes, and young lips simply do not require the performance that more advanced features do. Her own go-to products stopped working: concealer was too d...

 Good Morning, fellow fashion lovers. I hope all of you are doing well and had a great weekend. Let's all work hard so that we can all relax for the upcoming weekend.  Spring has arrived, and to me, the Mule embodies the essence of the season. While browsing the March issue of Harper's Bazaar, I discovered the Ferragamo Eva Mules and immediately fell for their unique shape and sculpted heel. Inspired by iconic designs, the Eva Mule introduces new harmonies, drawing from a classic style dating back to 1939. It features a leather lapel and an elegantly tapered tip. The silhouette of the stiletto heel pays homage to the beloved F wedge, crafted by the legendary Salvatore Ferragamo. This Mule is priced at $1,450.  https://www.farfetch.com/shopping/women/ferragamo-eva-pointed-toe-mules-item-27773786.aspx?lang=en-US&fsb=1&size=35&storeid=14521&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_keywordid=&utm_shoppingproductid=27773786-35&pid=google_search&...

 Hello fashion friends, I'm so glad that I could be with all of you this Monday. I hope that all of you are doing well, had a great weekend, and are ready to tackle this week with a positive mindset.  Spring fashion is here, and I'm ready for it. I'm looking at all of my fashion magazines, and in the March issue of Harper's Bazaar, I saw that embellished skirts were a big thing on the runways for Spring/Summer 2025. This trend is always in fashion for me because why not wear a sparkly skirt to your children's PTA meeting or go to get your box of Coke zero sugar. I've learned that at the age of 35 fashion is a feeling of making yourself feel good, and if someone is making fun of what you're wearing, it's not a dig at you, it's their own insecurities coming out.   The Spring/Summer 2025 runways for Etro, Valentino, Brandon Maxwell, 16 Arlington, and Gucci have everything that a woman would love if you are that girl who's not afraid to be noticed.  ...

 Hello, fashion lovers, and Happy Friday to all of you. I hope all of you are doing well and ready to have a relaxing weekend for which you all worked hard.  While browsing the March issue of Harper's Bazaar, I came across an ad for one of my favorite designers, Max Mara. The Marine Bag instantly captivated me, and I fell head over heels for it. It's a small Marine bag made from soft, tumbled calfskin. This exclusive piece stands out with its rounded shape and flexible dimensions, thanks to strap-securing expandable sides and an internal split ring. It features iconic tubular handles adorned with a handle-securing loop detail, as well as a detachable shoulder strap that allows for handheld, shoulder, or crossbody wear. The bag showcases an unlined flat bonded interior with internal pockets and is enhanced by a metal Max Mara lettering appliqué on the front, along with five metal feet. It also includes a magnetic snap closure at the top. The price for this bag is $1,590.00....

  Hello again, my beauty friends! I'm thrilled that we've reached the weekend, allowing us to savor what we've worked so diligently for.  While browsing the Ulta website for trending eyeshadow palettes, I discovered the release of Natasha Denona's Bloom Eyeshadow Palette. I instantly thought of my friends who adore berry-toned shadows; they would absolutely love this collection. This essential palette showcases 15 new warm-toned floral shades, featuring peachy corals, deep burgundies, and coordinating mauves, in her unparalleled, benchmark-setting formulas. The cost of this palette is $69.00. https://natashadenona.com/products/bloom-eyeshadow-palette?variant=46050381889710&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&tw_source=google&tw_adid=&tw_campaign=22180708003&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1um-BhDtARIsABjU5x55DqOc7M2dbSmm5l8Sq2djfGsm1rmvRUN-iH2WZs0_vwLnLP...

 Happy Tuesday, my fellow fashion lovers. I hope that all of you are doing well and had a great weekend. I want all of you to work hard so that we can enjoy the upcoming weekend that's ahead.  I know that Spring is coming in a couple days, but I got Fall on my mind. I love to wear loafers during the Fall and Winter because there're easy to wear and always stylish. I was on a fashion website and I saw the YSL Le Loafer Penny Slippers and I fell in love with them because of the simplicity of them. This pair has been made in Italy from brown suede that’s softly ruched along the toes and embellished with a 'Cassandre' plaque at the penny slots. The low profile makes them feel a touch more modern than the originals they were inspired by. These loafers are priced at $995.00.  https://www.ysl.com/en-us/pr/le-loafer-penny-slippers-in-shiny-creased-leather-813324732.html?utm_source=google&utm_source_platform=SA360&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=US%7CEN%7CPMX%7CAll%7CSho...

  Hello, my fellow fashion enthusiasts! I hope everyone is doing well and had a fantastic weekend. I missed you all so much, and I couldn't wait to be back with you all.  Now, if you haven't heard, The Row has/may discontinue the famous Margaux bag, but if you still love the silhouette of the Margaux bag, then Radley London has the bag for you at a fraction of the price. I was on the Radley London website and I saw the Saddle Brown Grab Bag I love that it wasn't as big as the Margaux. With grained leather, belted tabs, and side paneling. The Rathbone grab bag features all three, while the spacious faux suede-lined interiors and zipped pouch on a leather leash add the practicality you need for any busy schedule. It features a V-shaped side panel and stitching, adjustable belted tabs, padded grab handles, a detachable cross-body strap, a D-ring tab closure, a bonded faux suede lining, an Interior slip pocket, and metal feet. The Rathbone is on sale for $278.00 from the orig...

 Hello my loves, happy Thursday/Friday eve! I hope you’re all doing well and enjoyed a fantastic workweek. I'm thrilled to return after my two-week birthday break. I had a wonderful birthday, but I truly missed all of you.  I'm embracing my perfume phase and wanted to share that with you. While watching a woman's video about Chanel Allure Eau De Parfum, which I had never heard of before, I visited the Chanel website and felt compelled to tell you about it.  The Allure fragrance is the very essence of elegance according to Gabrielle Chanel. Difficult to define, impossible to resist this floral-fresh-ambery fragrance in 6 facets reveals itself in a unique way on every woman. Because each woman has her own special allure. This fragrance has sparkling notes of mandarin, combined with the softness of May rose and the sensuality of vanilla. This comes in two sizes, the 1.7 fl oz for $143.00 and the 3.7 fl oz for $176.00. https://www.chanel.com/us/fragrance/p/112430/allure-eau-d...

Hello my loves, I hope that all of you are doing well. I'm still on my birthday break,  but I want to tell you about a woman-owned handbag brand that you all would be interested in knowing about.  I was watching an old YouTube video by LisaLisad1 when I spotted a handbag from Ela Handbags and immediately fell in love with it.
