DRESSING UP THE BATHING SUIT! 👙

Hey Everyone! 

I'm back with another look for you! First off though, I want to thank you from the deepest recesses of my heart for taking the time to stop by my site. I do not take your support lightly, as it is what helps me stay motivated! Feel free to leave a friendly comment below to let me know what you think!

Believe it or not, the polka dotted fabric peeking through my sheer blouse is a bathing suit! This past weekend hubby and I decided to take a drive out by the Bay. I wasn't sure whether we would get in the water or not so I popped my bathing suit under my clothes just in case.

During this process I realized that bathing suits can be dressed up just as you would for a body suit. Besides they are essentially the same thing, right? The bathing suit is usually lined, wired, and padded for support and resistance. Anywho, I hope this looks gives you some inspiration! As Summer winds down to a close you can still take some of your favorite full body suits and transition them into your Fall wardrobe!

We took Champ out to practice his new walking skills and he really enjoyed it! We love this little guy so much! Every day with him is such a gift.

FIRST POST-BABY FASHION POST! WOOHOO!
Hi Everyone,

I recently filmed and published a mini look book inspired by my postpartum body. I'm loving being a mommy and loving the journey to get back in shape as well! I'm not going to fill this post with unnecessary rhetoric; I just want to get straight to the fashion! LOL

I posted the video on my YouTube channel, but here are the looks.

DENIM ON DENIM W/ A POP OF SILVER
This look creates a monochromatic illusion that detracts attention from my midsection.


A MODEST APPROACH TO BODYCON
Underneath this Aztec throw-over is a long sleeve cranberry body con dress. As I'm not yet ready to show off so much, the thick belt creates the illusion of a more defined waistline.


BACK TO MY BROOKLYN ROOTS
This boldly printed baseball-inspired buttoned tee is all I needed to amp up my confidence. It's playful and trendy. The low hem, flared skirt and lace-up booties give this look youthfulness.

Thrifted Fab!! Date Night Look #1
Hello Lovely People,

I've recently launched a new fashion series on my YouTube channel entitled 'Thrifted Fab' ! In this series I will be styling thrifted items into everyday looks. There will be a new video and corresponding blog post up each week. It's going to be exciting!!

OAN: I haven't been posting and uploading as often as I would like because its finals time! You may not know this, but I am a college professor as well, and it gets extremely hectic for me around this time. As much as I like to read, grading papers for several classes is no fun!

Only the good Lord has been getting me through this season. I am so looking forward to the summer! My workload will decrease and I will be posting both frequently and consistently.

Here's a bible verse to keep you going this week. 

Isaiah 41:10  fear not, for I am with you;  be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you,  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.


XOXO,

R&R in Miami!!! :)
So it wouldn't have been a proper business trip without some rest and relaxation! I'm so glad that my family was only 45 minutes away because it was so nice to see them!

Got a chance to see my sister!! :)
Loving the texture in her outfit. ;)
The house where we stayed was on the water, so the backyard was absolutely lovely. We grilled steaks and had eggs with them on one of our mornings there. There was also a nice hot tub in the back yard, which the hubby and I quickly took advantage of!

Before we left Miami we payed a visit to the Bal Harbour Shops. Because it's an outdoor mall we got to bring Prince with us. He had a blast.




 One of my favorite shots! :) My hubby has skills with the camera. :)

                                        They had a live tank in the ground with fish and turtles. So pretty!



The way the trees are landscaped made this mall into a lush, tropical, shopping oasis. It was so beautiful we decided to grab lunch before hitting the road.

Caramel Macchiato

Lobster Bisque
Steak Filet Sandwich

Crab Stuffed Ravioli & Shrimp
I had a fantastic time in Miami...I always enjoy going there because there is ALWAYS something to do! Can't wait 'til next time! :)

XOXO,
