Everyone should have a signature look.

Your signature look is the foundation of your personal style. For me, it’s my fro & how I wear my hair about 90% of the time.

A signature hairstyle gives you consistency. You know what works. You know it’s you. It’s something you can always come back to.

Consistency is also key for hair health and length retention. Not doing too much, just doing what works 👌🏽

Saint Laurent proved once again that power dressing never goes out of style, and this look is my version, for less.

It’s never about the label or the price tag. It’s about understanding the references, the silhouettes, the details, the attitude, and translating them through your own style.

Style tip: When you see a runway look you love, don’t copy it, decode it. Identify the shapes, fabrics, and mood, then recreate it using your own wardrobe.

What look should I recreate next? 👀

Spring is here, and just like nature, my sneaker rotation is blooming ☺️
Each pair in this lineup reflects the season’s palette, energy, and intention.
Green for new growth and fresh beginnings. A symbol of prosperity, renewal, and abundance. 🌱
Pinks and reds for beauty, vitality, and passion. A reminder to lead with heart and take up space. 🌷🌹
Blue for clarity, peace, and reflection. Like spring rain, they ground us and help us grow. 💦
Neutrals and tans for balance. They represent the earth, stable, steady, and grounding. ⚖️

We finally got a rug! 50 is so happy 🐶 This beauty is from @luluandgeorgia. It’s the Lap Handwoven Wool Rug in 9x12. It’s soft, cozy, and exactly what I envisioned.

I’m fully in my white couch, white rug era, & the living room is slowly coming together. When it comes to decorating, I’m all about intentional purchases. Function is key, but style is just as important to me. I’ve been loving the journey of discovering my home style. Stay tuned for more updates! ✨ All items linked on my LTK.
