Out on the Town

Hello beautiful people! Today's look is inspired by my old "date night" experiences!

I used to go out a lot a little while ago, and as a girl, I would always feel like it was obscene to wear the same thing twice.  The guy I was dating really couldn't have cared less, but it is a common and silly mindset that many ladies I know possess.  Anyway, as you can imagine this got very expensive very quickly, I would be buying dresses costing a few hundred dollars almost every week (and again, ONLY WEARING them ONCE!) 

Now to my point, being a single mother, I really cannot afford that type of lifestyle.  My quick fix?  Mix and match separates!  I started buying skirts and tops that I could interchange so I would have new outfits constantly and not feel the need to buy new things for every date!  

This look is perfect for a nice dinner out, a wide range of parties, and night out on the town!

And ladies can we all kick this ridiculous thought that we can't go out in or be photographed int he same thing twice?

Fashion for Charity

Hello beautiful people!  I had the immense pleasure of attending a charity fashion show 

on October 27th.  The charitable organization "Hey - Haiti Engaging Youth" was raising awareness for their cause with amazing music, fashion, and an overall positive and inspiring atmosphere. 

The goal of this amazing organization is:

"We are dedicated to improving the quality of life in Haiti by bridging the gap and facilitating the building of relationships between Haitian and American youth.

HEY! is creating programs so the youth can be more engaged, skilled and empowered throughout their lives. Through education, medical& health sustainability, cultural integration we can establish stability one community at a time.

We welcome you to help our mission and become a blessing to those in need of your love and support."

Please check out their website and check out any events that may come up in your area, you will not be disappointed!

My friend, Frank Mizzy was one of the featured musical talents to perform at this wonderful event.  I have been following his musical journey through the past few years and have been honored to watch him grow and develop as an artist.  Seeing him perform at such a moving event was a great experience.  Frank sends a positive message through his music, I found it fitting that he be part of such a benevolent project.  Please check out his music and let me know what you think! 

This is what I wore!! Yay!

This shoot took place a few days prior to the event.  At the actual event my hair was up in a bun and my wrist was adorned a bit differently.  The look was still the same, I just felt like a simple up-do was more appropriate for the occasion.   I hope you all enjoy this look and let me know what you think!

Street Style

I have always loved and been inspired by casual urban style. I love the use of bright colors, balanced with dark and neutrals. With this inspiration you can look great effortlessly. Fashion isn't always sky-high heels and glam outfits, this ensemble is my take on the current everyday street style. What do you think?!

White House Black Market

This look is inspired by pure ease, comfort, and femininity.

All garments are loose and flowing without looking over sized or inappropriate.

The accessories I chose compliment this blissful ensemble with small natural pops of color.

I hope you enjoy this look and if you have any questions or similar looks please share!

My top and skirt are both from White House Black Market. I love both pieces because they flow so nicely together with out causing a frumpy look, rather it creates a more whimsical, natural, fun look!
