SCAD Inspired (Part II)

Hello Fashionistas! 
How is your weekend so far? It's Martin Luther King Day tomorrow, so that means the day off for a lot of folks. What will you be doing?

 These are the remainder of the photos from our photo shoot last week at SCAD. My cousin was the creative director and Erica Hawes was the photographer & comedian - see my behind the scenes youtube videos - for the day.

After all the hard work, we went to eat at a "funky" cafe called The Funky Brunch Cafe. The food was delicious and the best part is, they serve coconut pancakes, yum! 👍

Bloopers:

So cold!

She loves popcorn, especially the Smartfood brand.

New Year in Theory

Happy New Year Fashionistas!

A new year, new opportunities. Has I look back on 2016, I'm very grateful for the year I had, the highs and even the lows. I am thankful for my family and friends and all the experiences I've had. One of the more memorable moments I had was with the hubster not too long ago - mid November to be exact - we took a road trip starting from Georgia and ended in California. Yes! just he and I in a car for over 3000 miles for several days. We made a lot of stops on the way, mostly because of me, but most importantly, we laughed a lot and created once in a lifetime memories. He and I share an adventurous spirit and I'm so grateful we were able to go on that adventure together. 

How long do you keep your Christmas tree up for? Even though all the presents are gone from under the tree, I still love to look at it as I go about my business during the day. Once, I left this same Christmas tree up for an entire year, true story. I kept saying I didn't have time to put everything away, but at the end of the day it made me happy when I got home and there it was in all its festive glory.

Styling my Altuzarra boots

Edgy Look

Hello Fashionistas! It's hump-day (I know it's already Thursday in the UK, but my West Coasters still have a couple more hours here in the States). Where does the time go? Monday went by so fast that it feels like I completely missed Tuesday. Oh well, Fri-Yay is on its way. I wanted to do this post for a while now, but the weather hasn't been cooperating with me. It's still warm here in the South; not complaining, just would like a little drop in the temperature. Not wanting to wait any longer, I went ahead and created three different looks for my Altuzarra x Target over-the-knee boots. I already have my favorite look in mind and will be sharing in a later blog post. However, I could be swayed. 

Corporate Look

Casual Look

Which style do you prefer?

Thanks for reading and commenting! It means a lot :-)

Style Options for Labor Day

Style Options for Labor Day by ubetterwork featuring enamel jewelry

         

For this Labor Day weekend I wanted to pick a few pieces that could be mixed and matched to wear to a barbecue, a sporting event, or casual date night. For some reason I tend to gravitate towards red, white and blue for major holidays here in the US (not sure why), maybe it's the patriotism in me. Either way, the colors red, white and blue, are fairly easy to style. Of course I chose a crop top because they are very much on trend right now. As well as the high top sneakers and asymmetrical skirt (in this case a skort). 

Can you wear white after Labor Day?

Have a wonderful Labor Day and weekend! :-)
