 Hello again, and Happy Tuesday to all of you, I hope that you have had an amazing weekend and a great start to your workweek.

All Dressed Up And Finally Somewhere To Go.

 Happy Tuesday my fellow Fashion Lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well and wearing something absolutely fabulous.  Dresses are my go-to for Summer, I don't always want to wear shorts, and let's be honest, it's way too hot to wear jeans or sweatpants out to the grocery store. I'm not going to wear a tight dress, I'm beyond over the tight dresses, I just want to be as comfortable as I can be. I was reading the July issue of Instyle Magazine and I saw some amazing dresses that I love and that are definitely my style. Classic yet fashionable at the same time, As a woman, I love to dress classic, and showing too much is NOT my style at all. I feel that you can still be sexy without showing all of your bits to the world, I'm 31 years old and my mother will still make me change my outfit if my shorts or a dress that I'm wearing is too short. I've seen the Knitted Dress trend everywhere this Summer, I know for some of you knits are for the Fall and Winte...

 Happy Friday Eve my fellow Beauty Lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well and are ready to enjoy your well-deserved weekend.  Having a self-care routine is such an important thing for all of us to have in our lives. My self-care routine really helped me get through last year and helped me with loving myself more than I ever did. One thing that I introduced into my beauty routine is doing a face mask once a week, I love to take care of my skin by doing a face mask and read an article in one of my favorite fashion magazines or on a fashion website and let the mask do its magic. I went on a new beauty website called Thirteen Lune website (It's a website where Black and Latina beauty brands are sold.) and I saw this mask that caught my attention, so I went to do some research and I found that this company has some great products, but it's also Black-Woman Owned as well.

 Happy Tuesday to all of my Fashion lovers, I hope that all of you had a great weekend and a great start to your workweek.  I believe that my love for Hoops earrings started when I was five years and my mother gifted me a pair of gold hoops earrings. As many of you know, I love a great pair of hoop earrings. They just complete an outfit for me and I find that they make me feel that I'm dressed up without trying too hard. But there's one pair of hoop earrings that I want to be apart of my hoop earring rotation. While I was on a local boutique on Facebook and I saw a pair of Sheila Faji hoops earrings, I've always been a fan of her jewelry, but there was something about her hoop earrings that just made me want to save up and buy my first pair for myself. Born in Brazil and now a proud Californian, Sheila Fajl brings her extensive fashion industry experience to her refreshingly simple yet elegant jewelry lines.
