Rainbow Days
I’m such a lover of pretty, colorful things. But to love these things means I must also respect the process it takes to arrive at ‘pretty’. For instance, I’m obsessed with butterflies. I adore their beauty, and their free-spiritedness as they flutter around in the air. They fly gracefully, and seemingly with purpose. But on […] Read More »

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Beyoncé slayed our collective weekends with her Beychella performance. It’s amazing we can all get up and function properly this Monday morning!

Leather Weather
Oh, don’t mind me. I’m just sitting here waiting on Spring to arrive… I see it all over my social media feeds: we are ALL over this Spring, sometimes; Winter most of the time climate. It’s gotten old, really fast. The ONLY redeeming quality I find in chilly weather is the chance to wear leather. […] Read More »
What’s Your Mission?
I believe that each of us is here to make an impact on the world. But what that particular impact is totally is up to you. Do you have a mission for your life? Do you know the mark you want to leave on the world? When you’re younger you may have several missions/life goals […] Read More »
The Haute Five
Happy Monday, hauties! Did you watch the Oscars last night? Unfortunately I missed most of it but the best parts for me always are the Oscars red carpet looks and presenter fashions, and the awards at the end of the night. Jordan Peele snagged the award for Best Original Screenplay for Get Out (so well-deserved), […] Read More »
When Going to Wakanda
I don’t typically get dressed up to go to the movies but there are a few I’ve made an exception for. Sex and the City I and II were major fashion events, so I dressed accordingly. And most recently, I knew I had to “bring it” for Black Panther. When the images from the movie […] Read More »

A Casual Valentine’s Day: What to Wear and What to Do
Valentine’s Day is upon us and so are last-minute orders of roses, trips to Godiva and wrangling reservations at a romantic restaurant. I won’t lie – I like all that stuff, but Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be about all the traditional things. I enjoy a thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift, or, even better, an enjoyable, […] Read More »

If there was one season I could return to sender, it would be winter. Sorry, snow lovers, but the cold, wind, icy pavements and short days aren’t for me! My Caribbean blood craves heat, sunshine and daylight! I definitely get a mild case of the winter blues until warmer weather returns. One way I try […] Read More »
2018 Goals: Write, Travel, Live, Love and Laugh More
Over the past few years I started embracing goals instead of rocking with New Year’s resolutions because as you know, resolutions tend to fall by the wayside come February. At least that was the case for me. So I’ve renewed my focus on setting achievable, realistic goals and actionable items, since that’s always worked for […] Read More »
Four Ways to Tackle Mondays Like a Boss!
Mondays. It’s a word most people look at with dread. You wanna stop someone’s weekend fun? Just tell them Monday is soon approaching. You’ll most likely get an “Ugh” in response. It means the weekend has come to an end, the party’s over, and it’s time to get back to work. I’m guilty of disliking […] Read More »
HATE 17
I’m a lover, not a fighter, so there’s really no one and nothing that I hate. Except some insects. Ok, and perhaps one particular Cheeto-skinned, loudmouth individual who irks my nerves. But other than that, I’m not about hate. Give me love, peace, happiness and laughter any day! But I have to say, I really […] Read More »
