May has been a very eventful month, filled of such wonderful experiences and opportunities. I am thankful for more than I can share through photos so I’d like to say a huge thank you to all my friends, family and readers that have made me feel so special and cared for this month with kind words, thoughtful actions and birthday surprises.
My heart is FULL and overflowing!

Jackets are one of my favorite items of clothing. I wear them so much in every weight and during every season because simply by putting on a jacket, you elevate your look, especially a well tailored one!

STYLE TIP: A cotton button up and a tailored blazer are the perfect ingredients to a relaxed yet crisp look. Switch up the denim for a skirt or trousers and you are ready to walk into the office, it works every time.

Some days are just made for a walk in the park! This past weekend was one for those days and frankly any day that there is sun and a bit of heat is a park day for me. I hope you are soaking up some rays wherever you may be… Happy Tuesday!

I recently discovered that a friend of mine knows a lot about photography so I have decided to become his pupil. I will frequently share some of my photos with you here on the blog and on instagram.
I hope you enjoy my photography journey!

It has been a week since my last post, my sincere apologies for the silence but I am back.
This past weekend, I attended a bridal shower and to fit the occasion I decided to dress preppy and playful. Stripes are so much fun and as you already know from previous posts and I can not get enough of them! You have only seen my stripe clothing but one day I will have to show you my sock collection with crazy awesome stripes!
STYLE TIP: Mix up the classic with the current. Here I mixed a classic striped sweater with a tulle skirt and character ballet flats! I also did the same with my jewelry: the classic pearl necklace but not the classic matching pearl earrings….it’s always fun to put a bit of a twist on the classics, try it!
Wearing: Banana Republic sweater/W&W skirt/Urban Outfitters sunnies/Mix No.6 ballet flats/Olubukunmi Pearls/Vintage belt,earrings and gold necklace/London market ring
STYLE TIP: Color not only makes your look pop but it also makes frowns flip flop! Let’s face it color make people happy so go ahead and get happy! Start with one or two complementary bright colors and keep the rest of your clothing neutral (ex. my shoes and shirt were purposefully subdued colors).
Wearing: Uniqlo shirt,Gap pants,Street vendor scarf , Vintage sunglasses and Easy Spirit shoes

Done and ready to deliver!
Sometimes people deserve just the biggest thank you for how wonderful they were to you!
A few days before my friend’s wedding I went to see a florist at my local grocery store to help me with an floral arrangement idea I had. She not only assisted me in making my vision a reality but she also should me how to recreate the arrangement again on my own! Thank you Tracey!
