One of the few times I actually asked someone, “Where’d you get this?” A coworker had this suit in three colors and it fit so well on her that I assumed it was out of budget. Lo and behold, it was on sale and quite affordable. This exact option isn’t available, but I’ve linked similar items. PS, this has been altered to fit me as my weight has fluctuated

This is quite possibly my favorite Aritzia dress. I love any piece that I can wear throughout the year. And it’s so flowy, you feel like you’re wearing a nightgown

Clavicles out all summer

I will never betray you again

The great fashion struggle of my life has been finding tops I love. So, imagine my joy finding this drapey number in this beautiful shade. Spring ready…despite the temp in New York 🫩

Trying out @Fenty Beauty FINE LINEZ LASH LINE-ENHANCING EYELINER in Ca$h You. I’m just getting back into eye makeup and I’m officially converted to these. This color on my bottom lash line really made my eyes appear brighter and contrasted nicely with Milani’s Liquid Eyeliner on the top

#LTKBeauty

New work mirror for the fits!

I’ve always loved how I look in the color blue. So, I often put a lil blue liner on my bottom waterline/lash line. This time, I was influenced by the brown girls to try blue mascara as well. Obsessed!

I’m obsessed with this matching set from Ann Taylor. The key to dressing well if you gain weight is simple: buy bigger clothes. If you’re a person whose weight fluctuates, you have to honor your body at every size No point in trying to put ten pounds of sugar in a five pound bag. The best part is, all these items are on sale

This coat has such an interesting silhouette and I love the color. The fact that it was marked down is a bonus, and these are the softest leggings ever

#LTKCyberWeek

I’ve had all manner of hairstyles over the course of my life, but my pixie cut is by far my favorite. With a mom who’s been a hairstylist longer than I’ve been alive, the guiding principle has always been: healthy hair is good hair. No matter the length, texture, color, or style, maintaining the health and integrity of hair is paramount. Great products, routines, and techniques in between salon visits is the most affordable and effective way to achieve healthy hair. Here are some of my must haves for healthy hair maintenance

#LTKBeauty

New haircut, same reliable maintenance products. The keys to maintaining a pixie cut between appointments are: great products at home and time to practice. I can help you out with the first part if you need moisture from processing (relaxer and/or color)

#LTKBeauty

#LTKBeauty #LTKSaleAlert

Found this adorable sweater at a sample sale and decided to pair it with a pleated mini and my Doc Martens for the commute! I tagged some similar options here

#LTKSeasonal

The key to maintaining a pixie cut between salon visits is using quality products, and practicing your technique. I’ve linked the products that I use here

By request: a brief tutorial on how I do my “nude” lip combo. Just realized I said the lipstick was by charlotte Tilbury. It’s actually by Anastasia Beverly Hills

#LTKBeauty

These 3 conditioners have saved my double processed hair!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKBeauty

There was the slightest breeze yesterday so, naturally I broke out the boots and sweater

Thrilled to have my pixie cut back and coordinate lip combos with my hair color. Black girls go ginger in the fall 🙂‍↕️

#LTKBeauty

Reposting the much requested lip combo here again

#LTKBeauty

Heavy on the affordable activewear. Here are links to some of my favorite cost conscious brands.

#LTKActive #LTKSaleAlert

I went to re-up my favorite lip combo on the Makeup Forever site, and got a free sample of their new HD Foundation. I gave it a try and was so pleasantly surprised. Yesterday was really hot and muggy and everything stayed in place all day with the help of my favorite primer and setting spray from One/Size. The finish is so flawless, I didn’t even use a filter for this video

#LTKBeauty #LTKSeasonal #LTKSummerEdit

Some of my favorite casual summer dresses that I’ve had for years are from Uniqlo. This one is about 6 years old but I’ve gathered some of their best current dresses this season for you to shop and add to your collection. If you accessorize properly, they’re great for office to day party on Summer Fridays The best part: they all have pockets and come in breathable fabrics!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKSaleAlert #LTKSummerEdit

I am constantly trying to find ways to mattify my t zone. This is my current priming combo for the summer.

#LTKBeauty

When it comes to beauty, I only buy what I need, because it’s easy to fall into consumerism. Here’s what I kept and what I returned this week

#LTKBeauty

This jumpsuit has been with me through many a life change; hence, it’s no longer available but I did link some similar styles

#LTKWorkwear

I’ve rounded up all the products I use to maintain my pixie in between salon visits. Watch the full video on my YouTube channel for tips and tricks

I paired this Aritzia tube top with a ribbed tank from Old Navy, and was surprised how much I liked it. The ribbing in the tank matched the ribs in the necklace. Idk if that’s anything but I thought it was cool

#LTKWorkwear

I struggle to purchase shirts, but one style I love is the Henley. This one is textured, and sheer in a very delicate fabric I hope I can keep in tact. I wore a rust colored tank underneath (for obvious reasons) and paired with one of my favorite trousers

#LTKWorkwear

This is what I wore my first day in the office at the new job. I felt overdressed, but I love a monochromatic moment, and the fit and feel of the Effortless Wider pants. I had to go up a few sizes in the vest so the buttons wouldn’t pull across my chest. Apparently Louboutin no longer makes the Pigalle Follies, but I’ve linked similar styles

#LTKWorkwear

I believe it was the late great poet Shawty Lo who said, “Oh lawd I done found my swag.” New job looks are coming along nicely. Have decided I need a gold chain belt though. These shoes are seasons old Louboutin’s I got for a steal at the Bergdorf Goodman after Christmas sale but I tagged similar affordable options 🫶🏾

#LTKWorkwear

The new job dress code vibes are pretty casual. I bought these khaki pants with double belt detailing because I figure I can wear khakis like everyone else, but make them more interesting, so they work for a weekend brunch look as well!
