On My Fashion Wishlist: Khoi Anka Tote.

Image
  I hope you're having a good Friday, friends and fashionistas. We survived to have another weekend. As a 35-year-old, this is my final blog post before I take a birthday vacation. I had to give you guys something to read over the course of the week before I could do that, though. One of my favorite fashion brands is Khoi, a Black-owned company that offers distinctive pieces for women who don't mind being noticed. I saw the Anka Tote on their website, and as many of you are aware, handbags are my biggest weakness. I had to tell you about this bag because I adore you all so much. The Anka Tote Bag is a tribute to well-considered design and practicality. Each tote, expertly crafted from premium vegan pebble leather, combines long-lasting durability you can trust with contemporary elegance. The Anka Tote easily fits into your lifestyle and comes in two handy sizes. Thoughtfully packaged together and not offered for sale separately, each bag includes a comfortable strap, a suede or...

Image
Greetings to all those who value fashion! I hope Wednesday is going well for everyone. The weekend is almost here, and I can't wait for it. I wouldn't be upset if La Voute took all of my money. They provide sturdy, high-quality pieces. I fell in love with the Le Bureau Bag as soon as I saw it on the website because it reminded me of The Row's Margaux bag. In order for you all to be as enamored with this bag as I am, I had to talk to you about it today. Commanding, functional, and refined. With its sleek silhouette and thoughtful design, Le Bureau is a contemporary work companion that adds structure and sophistication to your daily routine. It is thoughtfully designed to accommodate your laptop, notebooks, and other necessities. Its roomy main body and well-organized interior compartments keep everything in its proper place.

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying a wonderful start to the day.  You all already know that I adore gold jewelry if you have been here with me for some time. I was checking my emails when I got an email from Olivela, a website that featured Elizabeth Moore's Bypass Ring. I was immediately enamored with the ring's chunkiness and the diamond accents on both sides. I had to share this ring and the brand with you lovely people today.  Through a strong dedication to authenticity and sustainable luxury, Elizabeth Moore Jewelry brings the lively pulse of New York City and nostalgic charm together.

Image
Hey fashion lovers, on this Monday, I hope that all of you are doing well, had a great weekend, and are ready to tackle the week.

On My Fashion Wishlist: Either/Or The Heeled Ballet.

Image
Greetings and happy Friday, fellow fashion enthusiasts. I hope everyone has a great weekend after putting in a lot of effort. As the eternally fashionable Victoria Beckham once said, "I can't concentrate in flats." One of my favorite companies, Either/Or for the Heeled Ballet, sent me a flyer via email. For any woman who wants to wear a flat but still add a little height, I think this is the best of both worlds. Because that's what good friends do, I had to discuss this stylish shoe. A vintage-inspired snipped toe adds a casual yet sophisticated touch. I adore the suede pumps' carefree adaptability. A feminine touch is added by the dainty Mary Jane bow tie. Ideal for everyday wear with jeans or dressed up for special occasions. These flats cost $320.00 and are available in five different colors. https://shopeitheror.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/the-heeled-ballet-camel?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&_kx=FUJfTyDQ_SdcKX3oxQmel7fQV9IvEJIlw6vLsIBo...

On My Beauty Wishlist: Salt.Xo

Image
Greetings, fellow beauty lovers! This Thursday finds us hoping everyone had a wonderful week and is feeling ready for the weekend ahead. As a plus-sized woman, I take my hygiene very seriously, including my feminine care. I’ve been following Salt.Xo for a long time and have always loved supporting Black woman-owned businesses that offer products that truly work. I just wanted to share this brand in case you haven’t heard of it yet. Jhalesa Seymour, Founder and CEO of Salt.xo, and she often say I didn’t find Salt.xo—Salt.xo found her. The company was born during a time of personal discovery. Before creating a single product, she spent seven months researching and studying natural ingredients and their healing properties for skin, hair, and of course, the yoni. In 2018, with just $67 and a vision, she launched her natural feminine hygiene brand while attending the University of Central Florida. Her journey began with a personal struggle familiar to many women discomfort caused by product...

Happy Wednesday, fashion friends! As we count down the days until the weekend, I’m feeling so thankful for this blog and the chance it gives me to connect with like-minded people. I stumbled upon the handbag brand Esha Soni while scrolling through Instagram, and I just had to share because that’s what good friends do.

On My Beauty Wishlist: Chris Collins Long Kiss Goodnight.

Image
 Hello and Happy Friday to all of my fellow fashion lovers, I hope that you all had a great work week and are gearing up for your weekend. One of my favorite compliments to receive is, “You smell good.” I’ve been eyeing a fragrance from the Black-owned perfume brand Chris Collins ever since I spotted it in Essence Magazine, so I decided to put together this blog post today for you to check out this amazing brand for yourselves. Chris Collins’ path into the world of luxury and fragrance started well before he gained international recognition. His father’s pride in always smelling good was where Chris first discovered the magic of scent. It wasn’t just a daily habit—it was a transformative experience. Fragrance became his key to confidence and elegance, sparking the passion that would define his career.  As a young adult, Chris moved to Harlem, a neighborhood brimming with culture, history, and Black excellence, where he began his career in fashion. Harlem became the backdrop fo...

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.

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 ballet core 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&src...
