Summer Skater


Skater dresses has been a must have item for every girl this past year. I've seen so many variations that often too many times they began to look a like. I adore the look, but I wanted something different then what was out there. Of course, you know I had to make my own. 

I decided to use the left over fabric I had from my maxi dress I made, which I posted about early on this season; Summer Leaves (Take a look)


I created a simple skirt bottom using my sisters skater dress she bought from H&M. Then I decided to drape the bodice, because like I said before I wanted something different. I asked my mannequin, "Mannequin what should I do" and it told me. I gave the front a cross bodice. Picture making an X with the fabric on your chest. Having more fabric on the bottom than the top. I sewed the bottom on to the skirt waist and sewed the shoulders. This ended up creating a great look and cute cut out on the sides. 

I truly love this dress. It is fun, flirty and trendy!!!

Holiday Style // Love Red

Classic red is just a style tradition. You can't go without wearing red during the holiday season. It's about as normal as drinking water.  What I love is the variations of red. This coat was one I got last year from my church. It was around the time I really wasn't working and couldn't afford to get a warm coat.

Stripes & Culottes

NYFW this year was such a blessing. Way more than I could have dreamed. However, between the move of the shows from Lincoln Center to actually buildings it made it difficult to commute back and forth. I didn't know whether I was coming or going this week. It was a bit difficult to keep up with my looks as well due to my work schedule. However, I was able to capture this one which was my favorite look from the whole week. And guess what Jesus styled me!!!!

Accesory of the Week // Alex & Ani

Running home after school with report card in one hand and a joy in your heart. You get home to show your parents how much you achieved.  They take pride and joy in their  baby girl so the next day they take you out shopping. They find a trinket that's more that an enough to show how proud they are. A simple charm of achievement, that showcase how proud they are and motivates you to forever achieve the best and accomplish every goal you ever put forward. This is just a speck of what some little girls dream of.
