All you see is blue! 
March 1st is that special day that celebrates me. 
The calm that blue offers has been very appealing to me lately. Classic blue has also been named by the color god Pantone as the color of the year and is making a huge impact on the style scene. So as my birthday falls on a Sunday, what better hue to don to church service than you guessed it....blue! Complete with matching blue balloons that I had no idea would be that tricky to manage. I must confess I kinda gave up on managing them after a while, Ha! 
All in all, I felt really beautiful in this simple getup.

Among life's most exhilarating experiences, spending quality time with family must surely be one of the most satisfying. I had a fantastic time at my birthday dinner hosted by my family in San Francisco last night. So much laughter, so much joy! 
My heart is filled with gratitude to The Most High for who He is as God and for those He placed in my life!

Thanks everyone for the lovely birthday wishes!

Leopard Print Short Set

It's a jungle out there...the runways have spoken!
I may not be an animal print enthusiast be it leopard, tiger, cow patches or cheetah for that matter, but I have to admit that this body suit / biker shorts set was a great choice to have me 'walking on the wild side'. 
The only thing missing was red lipstick for an additional punch!

With fashion's new neutral aka animal print, sometimes more is more which is why I chose a print pair of heels for a monochromatic 'queen of the jungle' (Ha!) look complete with a print topper. The crimson bag and belt added a nice pop of color to an already bold look.

Cargo Pants... A Modern Take on the Pocketed Trend
Cargo Pants... A Modern Take on the Pocketed Trend
Cargo Pants... A Modern Take on the Pocketed Trend

Cargo pants have temporarily replaced good old jeans, in my closet at least. 
 You? 
The volume, the intentionally placed oversized pockets (a gal’s best friend, Ha!) and the overall slouchy fit make for an untethered and effortless look that’s often a go to for me and for many gals that view sacrificing comfort as a non negotiable. 


I balanced out the volume with a fitted mock neck top and added chunky heel boots to amplify the pant’s street style appeal. Statement sneakers would’ve added a cool vibe and a cropped top would have worked just as well especially in the warmer months. Styling these pants monochromatically with a matching knitted sweater would be pleasing to the eyes as well.  

Even though I loved the fabric of the pants because it’s breathable cotton, a silky pair styled with sleek stiletto ankle boots would most definitely elevate the pants into date night territory.

I cinched my waist with a Gucci belt that picked up on the bag and voila! A very cool off duty style! In a very unusual color combo dare I add. 

Cargo/utility pants got their start way back in the military but had a strong fashion come in the late 1990s and 2000s. Comfort seekers and street style enthusiasts use these as a break from the sartorial athleisure trend. They are cozy, versatile and can go with pretty much any basics that already live in your closet. 
Are you a fan?
