UNWIND AT NINE

      I attended a networking event on Tuesday night hosted by my good friend Brandon who is the CEO and Owner of Self-Made Magazine. Self- made magazine is a publication that focuses on the achievements and innovations of young black Americans, pioneering in Fashion, Art, Music & Business. Unwind at Nine brought together artists, designers, poets, photographers and bloggers based in Baltimore, Maryland.  

Meeting people who are driven and passionate about their work is a wonderful experience. A few collaborations might be in the horizon. Keep your eyes peeled.

For my outfit, I paired a floral crop top with a grey A-line skirt from Zara, then accessorized with strappy high-heeled sandals and a bright ht orange bag for that extra pop of color.

I never thought I could get this close to a wolf. He looks like we wants to snatch my hand!!!  On a serious note... that is a beautiful work of art.

I think I look more frightening than the wolf. This is what happens when you talk loudly while pictures are being taken. lol

For every piece of jewelry, there is a story. I like to call them conversation starters, it might be a cocktail ring from a dear friend, a bib necklace from an impulse buy that was so worth it, a pendant from a loving parent, a vintage pearl necklace that was left to you by a relative, the ruby earrings that stuck out while you were perusing the jewelry counter. There’s always a story.

So next time you put on a piece of jewelry, go loud, go bold, and have an amazing story to tell.

Thanks for stopping by.

FIRE STATION 014

Earlier today, I walked into the house and noticed my brother watching the show ‘Chicago Fire.’  I briefly tried to pay attention and for some how I got riled in. Being the annoying sister that I am, my poor brother had to pause and explain who’s who and what the plot was. If you are a fan of Chicago Fire I get it. I mean, who doesn’t love Firemen?

Seeing the cast, the fire trucks, men in Navy out there saving people got me thinking why not shoot my next post at the fire station? There happened to be one that Keziah and I had frequently spotted on our way back home. Fire Station 14!!

I love the number 14, may be it’s because my birthday falls on the 14th of the month.

If I could have a uniform, this would be it. Jeans, a white tee or cami, and a pair of high-heeled sandals. Oh, so comfortable, and if I am crazy busy running errands, quickly switch to ballet flats.

Funny how my lesso head-wrap had colors similar to the Fire truck. That was absolutely coincidental.

Fire Engine Red has always been my go to color. It's especially life-saving (pun-intended) when I am rocking a toned down look.  Red just gives everything life!!

A special thanks to officers at Fire Station 14. You guys were awesome!!!!
