Brunch Money

July 30, 2015

brunchFirst of all, this pouch.  THIS POUCH!  I mean.  Forever21 has some hits, and this is definitely one of them. Post church service, I LOVE to brunch and day party on Sundays.  I know, I know. Shhh!  It’s the best thing, ever.  There is nothing more relaxing and enjoyable than spending quality time with the ones I love while sippin’ somethin’ and enjoying a yummy breakfast as the sun is shining on our faces, and laughs fill the air, with no care in the world and no place to be.

This past Sunday after many attempts to hit up The Parlor for #HashtagLunchBag, I finally made it with two of my girls.  And we had a BLAST.  I’ve always been a philanthropist and passionate about giving back whenever I can, however I can– but seriously, who knew giving back could be this fun!? read more

The Summer It Jean: High and Wide

July 12, 2015

HOW TO WEAR FLEARS (1)

High waist (and even mid-rise!) flares are back on the scene this season with a nod to the 70s.  And it has me wishing I never gave away my amazing Urban Outfitters ones I snagged on sale during my college years.  Seriously, they were on fleek and had the booty looking right.  And tight.  Luckily, I don’t have to beat myself up about it, because there’s a plethora of chic and beautifully fitted options that will have all the girls screaming,  “Yes!” And sadly, the guys turning away in disgust. But, really who cares?  It’s the perfect classic jean to have in your wardrobe at all times. Just make sure they ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS cover the shoe.

Check out the bishes that rock it well, and a few looks for summer styled by yours truly. Let’s get groovy! read more
