I have been looking for one that looks luxurious to wear with my jeans or over my bathing suits for my vacation. Dusters are an easy way to dress up a lazy outfit. It has become my uniform as well as mule heels. I’m getting older so I just need to grab and go. I know my style has became more simple the past couple years. Hopefully you guys still enjoy. Have a wonderful Monday. xoxo fashion blogger black fashion blogger black fashion bloggerblack fashion bloggerblack fashion blogger black fashion bloggerblack fashion blogger black fashion blogger black fashion bloggerfree people duster

fashion blogger This is my new favorite dress. Every spring/summer I get about five dresses and keep them in rotation weekly. Am I only only one that does that? I just discovered this brand shopping at Nordstrom and I love that they go up to XXL in sizes and that their clothing are so rich looking as if you bought it off of NET-A-PORTER, yet so affordable! I would check them out if you are on the hunt for unique, quality pieces. Hope you guys are having an amazing day.

Hey guys. Just wanted to pop in and say that this Lush two piece set is to die for. I can’t even believe it’s on sale either!! You all need this for summer asap. For those of you that aren’t to confident in the tummy area I suggest you wear a spanx tank top underneath and tie the cross body top over it. It will still look great. I also wanted to talk about these heels that I’ve had for three years and they are classic and go with everything. They also have one with a lower heel so check them out as well. Other than that I’ve just been working trying to find us summer clothing that’s stylish and affordable. Hope you guys have an amazing day. Love you! xoxofashion blogger fashion blogger fashion blogger fashion blogger

Dress: hereblack fashion bloggerThe past two weeks have been crazy for me. My brother has been in the hospital and life has been hectic sleeping there and juggling life. Whenever this happens I stop in my tracks and can’t seem to do anything with my blog. I was just getting back on track. Hopefully he will be better and I can get back into the swing of things and produce content for spring/summer. Thanks all of you for visiting. Here are a couple snapshots from the past couple weeks. See you soon.

Hey my loyal readers, thanks for always coming here on a daily to check in on me. I know I’ve been a bit slow on the updates but know I’m always thinking of you guys.

This thought just came to me today so I said let me share it with you.

About two weeks ago someone was asking me about someone who I’m not too fond of. They proceeded to tell me a story about this person. I only have a hand full of people who I feel this way about, yet I don’t hate them. I always send them light and love {in my head} when their names are brought up, just to ensure I’m not holding in any hidden animosity. Anyways, so as they were telling me the story I said out loud, karma. I didn’t feel anything at the time so that was the end of it. I didn’t say a bad word or elaborate on the situation any further.

Then today as I was driving I thought to myself,  I don’t want any karma to fall on anyone. I’ve done my share of things in my life, like we all have. None of us are perfect, we are all a work in progress and some of us take longer to grow than others and we should pray for everyone around us, even those we aren’t to fond of. I remember being so down and I mean like feeling like there was no hope and someone poured salt on my wound when all I needed was prayer. We all need prayer at some point in our lives, so we must not take joy in the misfortune of others, even if they’ve wronged us. Cleary I’m still growing, and thank God its for the better.

Hope you guys are having a great day. It’s been rainy off and on for the past three weeks here in Cali so I have been  taking it easy and running Laila around like crazy to all of her activities. Just wanted to let you know that I miss you and I thank all of you that continue to visit my site, even when I go missing at times. xoxo

black fashion blogger“Real connection gives us fuel”

What a powerful statement that is. Sometimes we can be feeling so down and we need a push from someone, a sign, something… anything! But, the truth is when you are connected with the people around you that is fuel in itself. These connections should be people who are working hard, staying positive, not gossiping and on a mission to achieve their goals. These people should be growing and pleasant which in turn allows you to be thrilled for them and inspired to go after your dreams. It’s like you guys are all doing your thing and when you chat or come together you are sharing the process and progress of your journey.

Our support system for hard times are essential in our lives because, they will see the flame dying inside of you and get concerned. Now notice the word “connection”! I say that again because when you are connected with these people they read your energy and feel that you need that push. They don’t further add stress or drain you, they try to identify the problem and try to add the spark back into your life that needs to be lit again. There are a couple of people like that in my life, but believe it or not my youngest daughter fuels me the most. She is my personal little angel.

I wanted to talk about this today because if you are feeling down and feel like there is no hope, check the people around you and see do they add value to your life. Are you guys truly connected and are you growing together. If not it might be time for a pruning in your life. This is why I tell you guys quality over quantity because I want to save all of my energy, time and money for the people that nourish my life. They are valuable to my well being so I must give THEM my all!

If you are the “one” in your circle that is  thriving and doing well, I urge you to look around at the people you love and check in on them, make sure they are thriving and happy, and if they aren’t get in there and light their fire. After all that is your job seeing that the shoe could be on the other foot one day… xoxoblack fashion bloggerblack fashion bloggerblack fashion blogger black fashion blogger
