SLEEVELESS TRENCH

Hi!

The weather in New York has been all over the place, honestly. Mama nature (global warming) is not playing with us.
Ya’ll know i’m a big fan of a classic trench coat- it’s a staple piece in my opinion. I purchased this sleeveless trench for a shoot and ended up not using it, and kept it for myself haha! I love it because it allows for interesting layering. It is perfect for the weather we’ve been having lately where you don’t necessarily need a full coat but need to stay warm, that’s where the laying comes in. It’s comfy and easy to combine.

sweat pants + blazer

Hi all! I love dressing up a pair of sweats either that be with boots or a blazer. Lately my style key is being comfortable, so my outfits are centered on that.

Shoutout to my little cousin for capturing this #OOTD on her phone.

Cool Summer

Hi'ya! I've been enjoying summer and trying to get out of my shell. I had the opportunity to attend Afro Punk this year for the very first time. I really enjoyed myself. There was great music and style! I was also able to Eryka Badu perfrom *my life is complete* lol!

A New Year Is Approaching Us!

I cannot believe it's almost time to say goodbye to 2017 and say hello to 2018! 

Despite the conflicts in the world we've seen this past year, the sun continues to rise in the morning. As should we.

Accept and welcome all lessons this year had to offer and prepare for the ones the new year will present you with. In difficult times, remember to chose and walk in love. Choosing to focus on love and seeing the beauty in the world around us will increase positivity and attract good things. Remember to set your intentions for this new year. Count your blessings, express gratitude. Carry a smile.

Happy (early) New Year!

Down By The River

Hi Loves!

I can't believe September is here already! Although I am so excited for Fall, I am not ready to let go of summer yet.

My friend Ashanti and I wanted to close off the summer by enjoying a nice canoe ride in the Bronx River. It was so much fun!

80s Staple

Hi loves!

The weather was absolutely beautiful today! Fall is creeping in right around the corner, and although I am not ready to let go of summer-- I am so excited!! 

Today was a really great day for me. My friend Tanya is in town for a few days and I decided to take her to Harlem since she's never been. We did a bit of shopping at the african market (my favoriteeee) went to the Apollo and ate at this really good buffet style restaurant. 

 

Now y'all know how much I love the 80's. Oversized double breasted blazers were a staple in the 80s. I saw this blazer at the goodwill and literally fell in love with it as soon as I saw it!

Colmado Papi

Hi my loves! 

I took a mini vacation and went to Reading Pennsylvania again. I fell in love with Reading because it reminds me of the Dominican Republic. These 2 bodegas or should I say colmados (corner stores) were on my list to shoot. I fell in love with the bright colors and cool architecture, just like home.

Celebrating Life!

Hi my loves! 

It's been a while since I last posted and a lot has happened. Thankfully, I have been working more on my styling and I am super excited to launch my styling portfolio! I also turned 21 last week. I am so thankful for another year of life. I am grateful for my friends and family. I am humbled by the presence of my ancestors who allow me to be a source of light in my everyday encounters.  

Also, yesterday was my mom's birthday. So we decided to celebrate together and go out for brunch. I've always said that for my 21st birthday I wanted to dress in all white. The color white symbolizes purity, innocence, wholeness and completion. White is a color of protection and encouragement offering a sense of peace and calm, comfort and hope. Dressing in all white offers an inner cleansing and what better way to welcome a new year of life? xoloo
