POLITICS & ART |

Happy Tuesday Election Day! What a year it's been watching the campaign trail of the two candidates for President. I'm extremely sad to see President Obama bow out in January but I'm confident that I'll be voting for the best candidate today. I cannot stress enough the importance of voting, in the words of my favorite President "Don't boo, vote." Check out one of my last Fall Series post that I shot in Blagden Alley, I loved the graffiti in the alley and the artwork we found while finding the best location to shoot this very relaxed look.

Comfort is key and I fell in love with this shirt while shooting (I loveee the detailing). It's been a busy two weeks for me, I just moved amongst a million other things but I'm almost settled and I'm super focused on getting more things done! I hope everyone has a great week, don't forget to vote!

RETRO FLORALS |

Happy Almost Friday! In the social media realm, today is also known as Throwback Thursday so I'm sharing some retro vibes with you all today. I'm really into the extra long sleeves and the dark romance trend this season. There's something special about romance that I think we all love and appreciate, so adding a little bit of it in my wardrobe doesn't hurt. I made my way back to Blagden Alley for this look as well...what can I say? I'm obsessed with exposed brick! Lol.

LEATHER & LACE |

Happy Monday! I'm feeling refreshed and energized after a great weekend. I'm really looking forward to visiting the National Museum of African American History & Culture this week, especially since I heard so many great things about it. I love living in the city and seeing all the beautiful and historical treasures that make up my culture. Anyway, after doing some exploring of the city recently, my friend told me about Blagden Alley located in North West and before we got to the alley we can stumbled across this beautiful blue door (reminded me of Paris). So we shot there first and went straight to the Alley where lots of magic happened! What better time than now to wear incorporate Fall trends in your wardrobe. I'm obsessed with leather and lace o here's my take on rocking it this Fall/Winter.

I HEART FALL |

Today makes it super official....Happy Fall ladies & gentlemen! Seems like the string of super hot days are all over and although I had a pretty amazing summer in the city, I must say that I'm finally ready for Fall (kind of lol). The weather is still in the low 80s here in DC but Fall vibrations are already in full swing especially with Fashion week (month) going on. I'm really digging all the Fall trends and looking forward to layering up a bit. Check out this very fun look to welcome Fall in the right way, it's a gold jacquard sleeveless crew neckline dress.
