Hey Loves!

 

So I was in Target the other day (what else is new?) and saw this color block leather skirt beauty on the rack. Of course, I had to pick it up and try it on. This color block leather skirt is a new piece from the Who What Wear collection at Target. If you are not familiar, Who What Wear is a clothing line that features on trend, affordable clothing options exclusively at Target. I am a sucker for anything leather, so add in a bit of color blocking and all for $32?! I’m here for it!

 

I typically don’t shoot fall looks so early considering its about 90 degrees here in Texas. But, I wanted to get this look out to you guys before it sells out. Its such a great piece that you can wear with blazers, sweaters, blouses. Shall I go on? So I sacrificed myself a bit (and my edges lol) to bring you this look even in the heat. I do it for my followers!

 

I kept this look simple by pairing it with a black bodysuit and black heeled sandals. The skirt makes such a statement on its own. There’s really no need to do anything else. Don’t you love those pieces in your closet that just speak for themselves?

 

Have you checked out the Who What Wear fall collection at Target?

 

What new items had you at hello?? I linked a few of my picks for you to check out as well.

 

 

Happy shopping!

Relationship goals, closet goals, hair goals, shoe goals, life goals! Y’all I am about wore out from all of these “goals.” Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen a many a picture where closet, hair and shoe goals have been met! But, relationship goals?! Let’s think about it. Most times when we say or refer to relationship goals its due to a picture or a video we’ve seen on the web. The internet has a funny way of making everyone lives looks so easy breezy. Its mainly because we allow people to see what we want them to see. But, we all know that we are only seeing a snippet of someone’s life, right?

 

Now, I know Eric and I are serving up all kinds of fierceness in these pictures.  This dress by Rent the Runway, LIFE! And yes, many will look at them and say, #relationshipgoals. And its nothing truly wrong with saying that. I know its a little bit of a compliment. But, I think its important that people have a true understanding about what relationships are and the work it actually takes before we start hash tagging and what not. Relationships aren’t always easy! I don’t always feel rainbows and butterflies when I see my husband. I am more so giving him side eye about the lightbulb that needs to be changed or how he doesn’t put my lotion back after he uses it. Yes, that really irritates the life out of me lol. But, real talk, thats just some petty stuff that he does that irks me. I am sure he has his list of things that I do that works his nerves too. Eric, if you are reading this, don’t come on here listing stuff I do that get on your nerves! Don’t try me! Lol.

 

I think its so important for todays generation to fully understand the importance of healthy relationships. I see so much in the news and social media that troubles me about people getting involved with the wrong person. I know I will teach Camille that she is a beautiful, intelligent and fierce woman who deserves to find a husband to treat her as such. Its important for us as adults, to really inform today’s generation about what healthy relationships really are. They should know that healthy relationships are when you are loved, treated with respect and kindness. Also, that relationships may have its ups and downs too. I mean nobody is perfect! Am I telling the truth?

 

Relationships come in all forms and everyones experience is different. Its nothing wrong with that! So long as its REAL!!! Some of y’all are married or with your boo thang and you’ve never had an argument, you’re so deep in love and can’t spend a second away from your bae. He’s the best thing since sliced bread and your relationship is so easy. Ok, then great! But, over this way, thats not how OUR relationship roll. Eric and I like our alone time to chill and do our own thing or watch our own tv shows, we roll our eyes at each other more so than giving each other the dreamy eyes. I get on his nerve and he gets on my last. We fuss and get into arguments! There has been a few times where Eric could catch these hands lol. We’ve gone days without speaking to each other (that was wayyyy back when, the Lord has brought us a mighty long way lol). But, we also love each other very much and he supports me as if I can do anything in the world. So now that you know this, does it mean we are not considered “relationship goals??” Of course not!

 

I like to roll with this hashtag I found on Instagram that I find more fitting and just makes more darn sense, #relationshipsbelike. Yes, thats more like it! I think that helps to broaden and round out what relationships truly are. Relationships be like love, respect, honor, fussing, fighting, making up, laughter, joy, pain and support etc. Yep, this is one that I can get down with! Now trust, I am not spilling our business to the world in this blog post. But, I like to keep it real honey and if I can’t do that on my own blog, then where can I do that at?!

 

Let me know your thoughts on the matter! I would love to have some dialogue and hear your opinions!

Hey loves!

Dallas weather is so unpredictable. One day its 80 degrees in November and the next the high is 50! I like transitional pieces for this reason, to stay covered up! I’m a Midwest girl and I just believe in always having a little jacket to keep covered when the weather can’t make up its mind. I don’t have to catch the pneumonia just because Dallas can’t get it together! No ma’am! So I am totally loving this lightweight olive trench from Pink Blush Maternity! Pink Blush is a fabulous online boutique that offers versatile pieces that all of you stylish mommies can wear from pregnancy to motherhood! Now isn’t that nice?! Lord knows I wish I knew about this store when I was pregnant with Camille. This olive trench would have given me so much life!

Now no, your girl isn’t pregnant. Although we are hoping to try next year! But, anyways I find the concept of PINK BLUSH to be so on point. When I was pregnant with Camille, I only had about 5 pieces of maternity wear because I just couldn’t find anything stylish and didn’t want to waste money. I mean I know I was pregnant and all but I still believe in slaying even still! lol. Imagine finding cute pieces you can wear from pregnancy into motherhood, so easy right?! Right! As soon as I pulled this olive trench out of the packaging I knew it was meant to be! The fit and comfort of this thing is just perfect! I even wore it for a night out with my girls. I was cute y’all, cute!!

What transitional pieces are your favorite? Are you feeling this olive trench coat? I know I am!

I am going to try to post Thursday but y’all know its Thanksgiving and what not! I’ll be busy cooking in the kitchen. If you don’t hear from me before then, have a fabulous Thanksgiving! I am SOOOO thankful for you all!!

What to wear to the airport? The night before my trip, I ask myself this question because its quite important. Comfort is key  and it’s especially important if I am traveling with Camille. The days of wearing heels to the airport are long gone for me. I tried that a few times and regretted it immediately. Since then I would reach for flats, but now that I have a child, sneakers it is! I am not a sneakers kind of girl, so thats saying something if they are a must-have for me when traveling. I need to be able to move about comfortably, have great foot support, be able to quickly put my shoes on and ready to carry my child in the event the stroller is just not her jam that day. Thats that mom life for you!

 

Anyhoo, this look is perfect for travel! This sweater is super soft and great for layering. I realize its now fall/winter for some of you where you life. But, you can easily layer with a leather or suede jacket, a thin long sleeve or thermal underneath this sweater, a scarf and you are good to go. My leather leggings are super comfortable too. The back of them are fabric so it gives me great mobility and stretch. These are old Forever 21 leggings, I have linked a few for you below as well.

 

For those mommies out there who are nursing (boy I know all about that, I nursed for a year) this top is perfect to wear when traveling with your baby. You can wear your nursing bra or tank underneath and easily reach under to unsnap. The neck is also wide enough to where you can peep inside to see baby! I know how those nursing capes are, Camille hated being under one. But, with this one being an actual sweater, that makes it near impossible to do unless your little has super strength. Who am I kidding? Most of them do lol.

 

Most importantly, you need a good tote bag to carry all of your gear. The St. Anne tote from Barrington Gifts is a great travel companion. I carried it on our trip to New York and loved it. Its very roomy! I stuffed lots of things inside and still had room.  For me, its always important to have pockets in a tote bag. This one does not disappoint, there are side pockets that held my phone, cell phone charger, card case and a few more things. Most importantly, I loved that I was able to customize my tote bag! I chose the print, color of the leather straps, monogram style and color of the stripe too!! I am all for making pieces my own!! Don’t you? Barrington Gifts also has great diaper bag options as well in case you are interested! So check them out!

 

I hope this post has given you style inspiration on what to wear to the airport. Traveling is fun, but we want to be at our most comfortable as well. Who knows how far away your gate is from security or how long you are standing in the security line right? But, you can still look pulled together and comfortable at the same time! Thats how I like to travel. In style!!

 

What are some of your go to looks on what to wear to the airport? Please share!!

I swear I cant have too many leather jackets. Each year I look for another leather jacket that I will fall in love with. A great leather jacket makes it so easy to look well put together. They are one of my favorite fall fashion staples! I picked this one up at a local consignment shop here in Dallas called Refinery Consignment for a steal!! As soon as I saw this BCBG jacket I snatched it off the rack and ran to try it on. Oh and the shoes too, I know you are salivating over these beauties! They are by L.A.M.B. and are another Refinery Consignment steal. If you are in town, definitely check this store out for great designer pieces at affordable prices! I need to stop in soon myself to see what other goodies I can find!

 

Jackets and coats are some of my favorite wardrobe pieces to buy actually. Why? It could be because I am a Midwest girl.  I remember every fall my mom and I would go shopping for a new coat. I would always get so excited for a new winter coat and I still do! I’ve linked a few great leather jackets for you below as my jacket I cannot find online. These jackets are on my wish list and that hunter green one is calling my name!!!

 

Is a leather jacket a fall staple for you? Let me know!

So I am a little excited to title this post “50 Shades of Gray,” I’ve been waiting my whole blog life for this moment right here lol.

I was all too thrilled when I received this gorgeous, leather convertible clutch from GiGi New York! If you haven’t heard of GiGi New York, get on it girl! They have amazing, quality leather goods in just about any style bag you like or even a gorgeous, embossed, python card case as shown above. Not only that, you can totally monogram your special piece for ONLY $15!! How cool is that?! This is my second GiGi bag and let me tell you, the consistency in how these bags are made is on point. Even touching the bag, you know its good stuff! I’ve linked a few of my favorites for you to check out too. I swear I am always wanting another GiGi bag all the time. The struggle is real my friends!

 

When I received this clutch, I knew I wanted to go ALL GRAY for this shoot! Monochromatic, head to toe! As usual, ASOS definitely came through for the win! My sweater is so super soft and the detail at the cuff of the wrist adds a little something to such a simple sweater. I had to go wide leg with the pants. I’ve been craving wide leg pants for a while. Sometimes you grow tired of always wearing a fitted look. I think the wide leg pants adds sophistication and class to this “50 Shades of Gray” vibe. Am I right?

 

I am super excited for this weekend!! The husband and I are headed to New York to celebrate his birthday and our anniversary month. Seven years with this man my friends! Wont He do it lol. So stay tuned to my Instagram and follow along on our weekend of fun in the Big Apple. Oh, and he may be appearing on the blog too. Let us pray lol.

Glamping. Have you ever heard of it? Its basically defined as glamorous camping. I was sitting in bed one morning thinking of blog post ideas and then it hit me. A “glamping” mommy and me photo shoot for Camille and I!! So I got to work on creating a glam’d out camping experience right in my own back yard. It was also high time my baby appeared on the blog again and I am sure you can agree, she nailed it!

 

I absolutely love coming up with new ideas and experiences for both Camille and I when it comes to the blog. So my brain was churning on how to turn this backyard space into a campsite. You know the deal: a few tents, camp fire, roasted marshmallows etc. But in the process, I became one tired, overwhelmed mommy. Thats when reality set in and I realized I just need to keep it simple. So simple that I created my very own, DIY teepee tent shown in the pictures!!! It was VERY EASY to do and under $75! Believe it or not, teepee tents are very expensive if you purchase them retail. We’re talking over $100 people! I filmed a video tutorial for you that will be on the blog soon to help you create your own. Stay tuned in the next few weeks so you can see how I created this gorgeous, birch wood, natural inspired tent!

 

Of course for this to be a legit “mommy and me” post, Camille and I are twinning! It was imperative that we dressed somewhat alike, right? I was so happy when Krystle from KRZA Headbands wanted to work with us for these adorable mommy and me turban headbands. They are super soft, stretchy and comfortable to wear. Camille kept wanting to put it on her head every time she saw her headband. These turbans are perfect touch of glam for our “glamping” experience don’t you think?

 

I hope you enjoyed this blog post! I know I have been a little silent on the blog front lately, but I have so many blog projects happening that I had to focus on getting those completed. It is my goal to make my blog a full time gig. So I have to put in that WERK to make it happen lol. Please look for more to come and as I stated before, my DIY Teepee Tent Video Tutorial!!

Hey Loves!

Please check out my Forever 21 haul (what I bought) and see what Fall trend worthy  items I picked up. I know that shopping at Forever 21 is not the most easiest thing to do. It can be an overwhelming  experience. That paired with the audience who is  a little younger than most of us lol. But, there is a method to the madness!! I keep it simple and check out the accessories, jewelry and the end caps of the racks. Then I move on to the Contemporary section where there are lots of age appropriate items for the over 30 girl like myself. But, my most favorite way to shop at Forever 21 is online. Who doesn’t like shopping in the comfort of their own home right? So stop by my Youtube channel and SUBSCRIBE! Then watch the video to see what I picked up. I also linked the items below for you. Hurry before its GONE!

This maxi dress right here?! This right here?! Yes, its my most favorite maxi dress this summer and possibly my most favorite ever.  I can sing its praises all day long. I love how it flows and flares out as I walk. Even the slightest turn and it spins beautifully around my legs. It also has a drawstring waist to cinch and accentuate curves. But, you know why I really love it right? Yes, the off shoulder detail gives me all of the feels! It takes this dress up a notch and I am here for it. Since I have gotten the dress, I have worn it countless times. I’ve worn it to run errands, shopping and dressed it up for a brunch event with lace up heels. I always receive SOOOOO many compliments when I wear this dress. You MUST BUY THIS DRESS! ASAP!

 

I am so excited because next week I am going on a girls trip for some much needed fun!! Its always good to have some fun with your friends and unwind. Its time to start packing and I am working on a quick post on what I like to pack in my carry on bag. I always like to get ideas of what people like to pack when traveling. So I hope to be able to do this for you and share  a few of my travel necessities. So stay tuned!

 

Oh, and GRAB THIS DRESS!

Its another installment of “What to Wear to Work On Monday featuring White House Black Market! This time I have a little something for my corporate world ladies who have a bit of a stricter dress code, but still like to slay. There is something you must know about me when it comes to fall wear. I LOVE leather! Leather on any and everything, I am all about it. This gorgeous dress by White House Black Market has the leather detailing that makes me happy. The v neck back, stripes and leather trim has all the makings of   a great “go-to” dress.  Although this dress is perfect piece for work, the low cut back with leather trim gives it a bit of personality and sass. Who doesn’t love that?

 

Thanks so much for your sweet comments regarding my last post on first YouTube video! If you haven’t checked it out, I gave a tutorial on how to wand curl your hair and achieve my favorite loose wave look! So please make sure you head to YouTube and SUBSCRIBE. I plan to post more videos for you soon. Tell me what you would like to see and I will do my best to get it done for you!

 

See you soon, Tanika!
