Lifestyle. Melanin. Me: Off the Beaten Path.
Hey, y'all. On Monday of this week, I wore a pencil skirt that I snagged from Nordstrom Rack (they built one by my house, so I officially bid all my money goodbye) and a peplum top that I've had for a million years. (Last Monday; therein lies the tbt.) I didn't even think about it. …

She manages to give me Jackie O and simply Lupita all at once. Le sigh.
So my mother hasn't dressed me since I was a teenager, but deep down in her heart, I know she wants to. I would classify my personal style as modern, unfussy, feminine, subtly chic. In other words, I like to look lovely but I'm the lady who won't overwhelm the room with my fashion choices. …

I need to tell you how much I love this dress. Ah, I love it. The color, the simplicity, the loveliness. At this point, I'm sure you know where …

The "yay" is intentional. I'm just happy it's the end of the week. *exhale* I decided to start the Fabu Fashion week feature today, since I had my iPhone with me in my usual studio (the ladies room) and decided to snap a few photos. Warning: you'll be seeing a lot of this studio in the …
Hi there. So this week, my plan was to wear clothes that actually fit. Since I've been losing weight for the past few months, a number of my tried and true choices are starting to look like someone is playing a prank on me and sabotaging my outfits. (No one is, by the way, for my …
