Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas
Ok, so we’re going to start with classy Valentine’s Day outfit ideas. So when I think of class v-day outfits my mind goes straight to Gabrielle Union’s character Mary Jane and her collection of sheath dresses. We love a cute fitted sheath dress because it screams classy boss lady no matter what your actual position is lol. If you’re planning on going on an elegant date night after work then this is the perfect transition look as well. The fit of the sheath dress will give your body a nice shape and typically these dresses are knee-length so you’ll be able to show off some leg, modestly. Pair with simple accessories and shoes to keep the luxury vibe. If you’re thinking of wearing black try adding a pop of color with your shoes and bag. Check out our Classy Valentine's day looks here.
National Cinnamon Day
To start off we have to talk about where cinnamon comes from. I actually learned this while writing this blog, but cinnamon comes from the bark of a cinnamon tree. I mean it definitely looks like overgrown pencil shaving but who knew it actually came from a tree too.

Starting with a great shop that we found this past weekend. Sage N Thangs is a black-owned botanica/apothecary bringing you wellness, health, and spirituality. She hand wraps her sage and blesses her crystals and her soaps smell amazing.
Top 5 Fashion Trends Of Fall 2021
This next trend is for our glam queens. SEQUINS and SPARKLES are in, and not just for evening-wear, but as an everyday trend. This fall we will be rocking our sparkles as tops, skirts, and pants, all paired with something neutral and flowy to calm down the glitter. I personally can’t wait to try out the pants from our Emily set with an oversized button-down or oversized blazer.
Top 5 Back-To-School Fall Essentials
Fall is the season of kickbacks and house parties and those outfits are definitely not the same as club outfits. So it’s time to upgrade that club dress to a house party set that screams chill and educated. We love sets because they’re easy to mix and match after you wear them together so that you can party every week without feeling like you’re always wearing the same outfit.
We're back!
- Recycled fashion: So we all know about thrifting and discount stores, but if you’re like me these places trigger my anxiety because of the overwhelming amounts of products and clutter. I still find my way in one every year though because let’s be honest you can’t beat those prices. However, when I just can’t do it I love to repurpose my clothing, and there are tons of ways to do this without being able to sew (although knowing how to sew quadruples that number). As a plus-size gal, my thighs are strong, strong enough to rub wholes into my fashion nova jeans (my Ivy Reina jeans have made it 2 years I’m just saying), so one of my favorite ways to recycle is to turn those wholey fashion nova jeans into shorts for the summer. Not only are you recycling, but you’re also saving money on buying more shorts when you already loved the fit of your jeans.
Organization and Productivity
This week we’re talking about staying productive and organized. Now let’s be 100% honest there are thousands of ways to do this, and what works for me may not be what works for everyone. The important thing is to try different things and figure out what’s going to work for you. Keep that in mind as we go over 5 ways to stay productive and organized.
