Golden Confidence
Tips for the everyday woman.
Madeline Jones from Plus Model Magazine was kind enough to let me share some of my Golden Confidence tips in the new Love Your Body issue. I've decided to share a few of them below:
Devil In A Red Dress!
You Hussy!
I remember growing up the color red was seen as a "fast" or "hoe" color. I'm laughing as I write this. I can hear the older church women talking about some, hussy in the red dress(insert “Mmm hmm,” and “Jesus,” here LOL). After hearing that from them, and other women, I've always shied away from the sultry color. No red lipstick, no red dresses… especially, no red nail polish.
I Wanna Thank You!
"Spread Love it's the Brooklyn way."-B.I.G.
I really don't have to much to say. I just wanted to tell you guys thank you for all of the love you've shown me lately. At times I wonder if anyone understands my style. Hell, I don't understand my style. Either way, thank you for every kind word and well wish. It means more to me than words can express. Please continue to inspire me just as much as I inspire you. God Bless!
Boy Bye!
I'm Pretty Period!

As women we all hear those
so called compliments that we hate. The back handed kind that are given to us
if we are deemed too short, too tall, too skinny or too fat.

Beyonce taught me.
Thick Snacks (Bootylicous)

| "Girls love Beyonce"-Drake |
Yes, I've fallen into the Beyonce trap. I am a huge supporter of everything she does. I'm not a Stan, just a regular fan. When I was growing up Beyonce was one of the first public figures I saw that embraced her super curvy figure. I remember her giving an interview about people telling her to loose weight and instead of caving into the pressure and letting those words get to her, she wrote the song, "Bootylicous" (a favorite of mine.). She let people know that curvy is always in and that her body is too awesome to change! Me and my girls would get together before the club, get dressed to the max; beat the hell out of our faces; take shots of vodka; and jam the hell outta Beyonce while getting ready and in the car.

Casual Steez
Just wanted to showcase more of my casual weekend style. As much as I love my tall heels and tight dresses, commuting in that all day in New York City, in the winter time would be a no go. On a normal day you'll catch me in jeans or leggings, graphic sweater and boots or sneakers. What is your casual weekend winter wear?

Winter Blues...
Blue Hues and Attitude
I'm a summer baby. If it were up to me I'd be in swimsuits and breezy maxi skirts all day long. This fall/winter has been a complete eye opener for me when it comes to fashion. I'm starting to love fun coats, wool hats, chunky boots and tube scarves. I guess the winter isn't all that bad.
In the nude....
Nice and Naughty
Hello everyone! I know it's been a while since I've posted but I'm back and completely NUDE! Well, I'm wearing nude, that's almost the same thing, right? I've officially fallen in love with light colors! Being a clumsy and messy person at times, I shy away from colors that show the mess of whatever I've had for breakfast or lunch. After seeing this beautiful Nude Trench Coat on the Forever 21 site, I had to get it! I love that you can can wear this coat in so many different ways. I paired it with this matching zipper bag, also from Forever 21. It's sold out, but here is a similar bag in a different color, paired it with matching nude pumps from DSW (similar).
Nice
Match Maker!
Growing up my mother had me in matching sets all of the time. One day I went to school late in a matching set my mother forced me to wear, and was absolutely mortified when my P.E. teacher had on the same exact outfit. Things got worse when she yelled out, "Twins!" causing my entire fifth grade class to burst into laughter. Though years have passed, I must admit, I still have nightmares from that incident. This season with its matching sets in fun prints and colors has made me reconsider my stance. Check them out below!
