So Ready For Spring!!!!

This cold weather is driving me crazy. Now, I'm not in New York anymore but Florida has been in the 20s for the last couple of weeks. I don't know about you but the cold and dark weather gets me feeling down. I had to dress in spring colors to get me out of this funk. I normally do not like wearing midi skirts but this one from Lane Bryant was too beautiful to pass up. 



I just want take this time to give a big thank you to everyone that has subcribed to my new site for my blog and I so excited to show you all the new post I have planned. Again thank you for all of your support!

They Want What They Can't Have

After last weeks post I have had a couple of exes messaging me with "hey stranger text " or that " looking good ma" . I know you ladies have been there . Ugh it's so annoying! What makes them think that after I have taken months to get over them that I would let them back in. If they did not  cherish me when I was down what makes them think they deserve me at my best. Do not fall for this ladies keep it moving. Know your worth ! We deserve better  

This dress is everything ! I love anything from Rebdolls they have tons of pieces that can transition from casual to dressy. 

The fit is beautiful. Hugs the curves in all the right places .

My Fight Within

This is not my usual fashion post. 

2014 was filled with many ups and downs . I moved back home to Florida from New York . Not because my modeling career was failing but because my modeling career was taking off I had covers and agencies ready to sign me but my mental health was not in a healthy place. I have never spoken about my depression and anxiety. I hope me speaking about my struggles will help someone else. 

When I left New York I fell into a deep depression. I turned to food for happiness. Food filled a void that I thought could never be filled . I booked a job out of the country .I had my mother take my measurements and I seemed to have added 10 inch to my waist and 50 plus weight gain. It haunted me like a ghost from Christmas past. I asked my self how did I get here . How am I suppose to shoot a swimsuit editorial in 3 weeks. I think God was watching over because by the grace of him the international trip fell through and I was unable to do the booking. You would think I would have came up with an action plan and start back on the road to getting my career back. But I didn't I fell deeper and deeper into my depression . To make things worst my fathers healthy was failing and I was dealing with family issues . Now this was a time you would think some of my so called friends would call me and see what was up because I had been missing off the scene for 9 months now . No phone calls , messages ... Nothing! Except Ms. Tiffany Jones . Hearing her voice was like a drop of water on a hot summer day. I am so blessed to have a woman like that in my life .  She spoke life into me .My family and two best friends that aren't in the industry helped me in so many ways . I started to not feel like I let everyone down. My mother is such a strong woman I know it was hard to see her baby girl go through something she had no control over . She helped me get the help that I need and held my hand the whole time. My father did what he could . He was dealing with his own health . I wish I could put into words how much I love that man.  I told myself I had to come out of this I needed to come up with a plan and get back to work. I started from the inside out . The journey To getting back to me has been rough but with my family support and God I know I will make it through . I am really Iooking  forward to a lot of great new projects and I want to thank everyone that has supported me . 

When I stood in front of the camera on this particular day I felt so confident and I don't care what you all say but I felt really sexy in this outfit  from Fashion to Figure .

Boohoo Chic

While scrolling through Instagram I saw some of my favorite bloggers attending an event with BooHoo. I literally ran to my iPad and took a peak at what they had. I fell in love with almost everything. Beautiful current fashion's for plus size beauties. I only bought a couple of items because I wanted to see how they were going to complement my figure. Let me say this I never felt sexier. 


🔅Style Tip🔅
To bring this loom to another level I styled this look with a pair of half leather black leather gloves, belt and a acrylic black lace detail clutch. 



🔅Style Tip🔅
Instead of pairing this look with a simple tank top I used my vintage black lace bustier. Which elevated the look.

Winter White

The rule about not wearing white after Labor Day has officially been broken. Winter white is one of my most favorite colors . This dress design by Cha'Cha N'Kole has got me feeling gone with the wind fabulous. My favorite part of the dress is the top which looks like lace but is leather detailing. I have died and gone to fashion heaven.

Boost of Confidence

Today I woke up and looked in the mirror and thought "dang I look good" I put on my favorite color , curled my hair and put on thicker lashes than usual. You may not feel pretty everyday but sometimes you gotta look in the mirror and pick your favorite thing about yourself and play up on it . Take the day into your hands and send out positive vibed and see how everything works in your favor . Sometimes you have to shut out all the negative naysayers and keep it moving forward . 


I was feeling so sexy I had my co worker snap a photo of me.
