Work Flow- Mandarin Collar #trend

  After a face mask, a cup of detox tea and about a gazillion glasses of water yesterday, I finally felt refreshed and ready for the work-week ahead. How you feel on a Monday morning (in this case, Tuesday morning) truly depends on how you choose to spend your weekend. The trick is to have a balance of fun and relaxation. Usually, I spend my Friday and Saturday nights catching up with friends and Sundays are dedicated to getting some alone time, family dinners (occasionally) and prepping for the week. By the time Monday rolls around I'm all game!

Long Weekend Vibes

    A long weekend for me means going out a lot and catching up with friends and family. Going out means looking good, which means having multiple outfit options to choose from. I'm all for outfits that look bomb without having to break the bank. So I'm really excited to show you guys this outfit I got from Dynamite Clothing.

So Brooklyn!

   The years I spent living in Brooklyn are the ones that truly shaped me. So without a doubt I had to do a post in honor of my 2nd home; Brooklyn. There's something quite prideful about being a Brooklynite. Ask a Brooklynite where they're from and with oozing pride they'll respond "Brooklyn!". I enjoyed the culture Brooklyn offered me. It was rough and tough; in your face and straight to the point kind of culture. It's a tea that might burn too hot for the timid. But I loved it.

More Than A Woman; Aaliyah Tribute Outfit

    

  This year marks the 15 year passing of the earth angel who was Aaliyah. She was my icon growing up; her style, music, passion for her art and drive was an inspiration to myself and many. I remember listening to her music all the time; in fact, her "Are You That Somebody" track is what made me fall in love with music.  My 10 year old self wanted to be just like Aaliyah; just as beautiful, just as defiant and just as talented. I still do!
