Life Of A Fashion Blogger

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...

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. Esha Soni is recognized for her refined design and innovative leadership at iconic American brands like GHURKA, Michael Kors Collection, Ralph Lauren, Mansur Gavriel, and Proenza Schouler. Born and raised in Mumbai, India, she later moved to New York to study Design at FIT, with a stint abroad in Florence, Italy. Inspired in part by her work building a foundation that offers primary and vocational education to children in India, she launched her namesake brand. Her collection beautifully reflects her love for design, materials, and craftsmanship. In 2023, Esha Soni became a member of the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America), and in 2024, she received the US Fash...

Fellow fashion lovers and friends, I hope you’re all doing well, had a fantastic weekend, and are making the most of your Monday. The moment I saw the Mari Earrings, I knew I had to have them in my collection. I loved their twisted design and how they could bring a touch of uniqueness to the outfit I was wearing that day. I just had to share these stunning earrings, and maybe you’ll want to add them to your collection too. The MARI (mar-ee) is making a special comeback, offering a fresh twist on the classic hoop design. With its sleek, circular, twisted shape, it’s clean, minimal, and effortlessly stylish. The simple design lets the beauty of the form shine, making it a timeless piece you’ll never tire of. Lightweight and comfortable, MARI is perfect for all-day wear, sitting securely without weighing you down so you can move with ease from morning to night. Its simplicity is its strength—no extras, just a quiet statement that feels confident, refined, and intentional. These come in tw...

Hello fashion friends, and happy Friday! Wishing everyone is doing great and feeling ready for an amazing weekend ahead. I haven’t mentioned Amanu in ages, but while browsing their website, I came across the Zambia Shoulder Bag and instantly fell in love. I just had to share this gorgeous piece and why it deserves a spot in your collection. A zip-top shoulder bag inspired by Zambia's sculptural form. Crafted from soft Italian suede with gold-tone accents, it brings a tactile twist to effortless structure. This bag comes in three colors and is priced at $895.00. https://amanustudio.com/products/the-zambia-shoulder-bag Fashion lovers, I hope you enjoyed this Friday’s post.

 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...

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. Your support means the world to m...

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...

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 ...

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...

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. It comes with two handles adorned with the Bolero B logo, an adjustable and removable strap for shoulder or hand carry, and a zipped closure with a leather pull tab and ring. 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...

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....
