put one foot in front of the other

black women blogsThis week has been so busy, yet I still made time for those that needed a listening ear and gave back by doing a service free of charge. I do it because it just makes me feel good. The crazy part about it all is exactly what I gave, someone totally different gave right back to me just in a different way.

You can give back with your talents, talking to a younger person that looks up to you or something as simple as giving a smile. It’s important in this crazy messed up world that we try to stay humble, gracious and most importantly… be kind to one another.

We all have bad and sad days. Your true strength is how you chose to treat others through it all. Don’t let the weight of the world allow you to give off bitterness and negativity when you walk in a room. Instead strive to be a light that shines, so when others see you coming they have no choice but to smile.

Happy Sunday, happy days. xoxoblack women blogsblack women blogs

black women blogs“You can’t let your failures define you–you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time” Barack Obama.

~My failures keep reassuring me that my instincts are always right.

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” Thomas Alva Edison

~I’m learning that if no one else believes in you that’s not your problem. You have to believe in yourself. I have so many projects in the making. I believe one will take off.

“The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one” Elbert Hubbard

~With that being said, even when we keep failing at the pursuit of our passion, we can not be afraid to take risk for that is the only way we could ever know if it’s possible… to succeed in what YOU believe in.  Thanks for visiting. xoxo black women blogs

fashion blogs for women plaid vestWhen I laid eyes on this plaid vest from Bellen Brand, instantly I knew I had to have  it. I think it’s the perfect transitional piece, especially living in California. I knew I could wear this over jeans and a simple T-shirt, this dress like I’m wearing now or a pair of shorts.  It’s just a special piece that will last me years to come. fashion blogs for women plaid vest 2fashion blogs for women bellen brand plaid vestfashion blogs for women bellen brandWearing: Bellen Brand Plaid Vest and dress, Chanel Bag, Rupert Sanderson Heels.

fashion blogs for women hot pink blazerImagine for a moment how you would live your life if you had nothing to hold you back. In your mind, drop all your fears, insecurities, regrets, anxieties, limitations, worries, and concerns. Think of the things you would be free to accomplish?

Then stop imagining and start doing. For once you’re able to banish the restrictions and limitations from your thoughts, you have greatly reduced their power in your life.

The moment you can visualize being free from the things that hold you back, you have indeed begun to set yourself free!

easy dessert

easy dessert

black women fashion blogFunny story behind these set of plates. I was shopping for my clients home in London and they were too cute to pass up. She laughed so hard once she realized what they said. See she’s owns her own company and has to deal with men and to blend she kinda has to chill and hang (pretend) with the boys. Well these boys bring their mistresses with them most the time and she has to “act like the boys” because what do boys do, “they stick together”. She will serve these high-powered men and their mistresses dessert out of these plates.Wish I could be there:). I love her! She ended up buying me some and I bought some for my friend’s birthday (she loved them) because we are always on a diet plus it’s such a girly gift. I’ll show you what the others say later. By the way this is how dessert is usually made in my house, simple and to the point. xoblack women fashion blogblack women fashion blogblack women fashion blog

fashion blogs for black womenI break all fashion rules, why because I dress for me. If I feel like wearing heels to a kid’s birthday party I will do just that. Fashion is an expression of you and how you feel so like I always tell you don’t take it too seriously, unless you have a dress code at your job of course. Other than that just have fun, do you and don’t forget to take your confidence and a smile along with you… fashion blogs for black women
