Back from New York Fashion Week, one thing was clear — the fashion girls were wearing fur everywhere. Not just on the runways, but in the streetstyle moments that turned heads. It’s a trend that holds power: indulgent, dramatic, and completely unforgettable.

And while I haven’t bought the Chloé jacket yet, the beauty of this trend is that there are so many ways in. Vintage, faux, or reimagined from your own closet — fur is always a statement.

Are you making fur yours this season?

Travel outfit goals: casual, chic, and intentional. The balance of wide-leg pants against a structured jacket creates the perfect mix of ease and polish. Proof that you don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort — especially on the go.

Style Tips:
1. Proportions matter. Pairing flowy bottoms with a tailored jacket keeps the look elevated instead of sloppy — it’s the secret to effortless chic.
2. Anchor with accessories. A sleek bag or statement sunglasses instantly take a travel look from practical to fashion-forward.

Are these designers asleep at the wheel?
Maybe they're just on autopilot, whatever it is I need it to change. I am yawning at what's available in stores, online, everywhere. Fashion is not thrilling me right now. I want to be wowed, surprised and maybe shocked. But I haven't seen an item get released lately that has done that for me. Are you look at the industry like me and wishing for more?

COUTURE FOR LESS

I know I'm not the only one dreaming of owning a couture item one day. but that price tag is a nightmare.

Zara has all the Lux dupes.

Even the dupes to our favorite fragrances, the luxury ones too! I knew Zara had the scents but this is a little unreal, they have dupes for fragrances I’ve been meaning to try, ones I’ve loved for years and everything in the middle. I don’t know about you, but I might need to check this aisle out a bit more when shopping in-store. I might discover something amazing and at a third of the cost.

Have you always known Zara was the place to shop for luxury fragrance dupes?

Mexico dump — mommy & me edition. Sun, style, and way too many moments to fit in one frame… so yes, you’ll want to swipe.

I can’t believe I used to be bullied for this…

The way I wanted to protect my skin from the sun. I admit, I did look a bit dramatic but the effect the sun had on my skin was just as dramatic. But thankfully that’s in the past and I can protect my skin through spf and proper clothing during the summer.

Watch to the end of the video to get a list of my favorite spfs for everyday, under makeup, and the body/glow. Did you see an spf on my list that’s tried and true for you?

SPLURGE SPECIALIST - Schiaparelli Rope Link necklace

The necklace that steals the show no matter what outfit I'm wearing. I have a deep love for statement pieces, and this one is no different. On today's episode of Splurge Specialist I'm breaking down why I would spend $2000 on a single accessory, that's not even real gold. Hear me out! The reasons are sound.

Are you willing to splurge on accessories?

19 years married. 24 years together. 2 beautiful kids later. We’ve built a life full of love, laughter, and lessons — and through it all, we’ve chosen each other, every single day. Marriage isn’t perfect, but it’s worth it. Here’s to continuing to grow, love, and write this story — one chapter at a time. Happy anniversary to us.

What’s the biggest lesson love has taught you?
– Love is a choice
– Growth takes two
– Grace over perfection
– Still figuring it out

THE MOST EXPENSIVE FRAGRANCES - are they worth the price?

When it comes to talking about the most expensive things and determining if they're worth it, I'm your woman for that. I am the Splurge Specialist after all. And today we're chatting about some of the most expensive perfumes available to buy at Neiman Marcus and Saks.

I don't know about you but I might have found a new fragrance that is going on my wish list. Did you see a fragrance that you've been eyeing? And of course I want to know, do you already own something from this list and do you think it’s worth it?

Did this outfit eat or what? Watch the full vlog for all the highlights from the Black Excellence Brunch in my Essence Fest and New York vlog.
