The Warmth is Real
Stay cozy and cute this holiday season in the perfect parka from Torrid! So in love with the long line silhouette, Sherpa lining, and top it off with the faux fur-trimmed hood. I’m ready for the coldest days! I know the struggle can be real for my plus size ladies to find the perfect coat, but trust me you’ll love everything about this parka!
Sweater Weather
The weather is getting cooler and nothing is better than a good sweater. A great sweater is perfect for fall and can easily transition you into winter as the temperatures drop! Fall is all about keeping it comfy and casual, which is one reason why I love an oversized sweater. I grabbed this sweater from a local Atlanta boutique Reydar and today they are having a Cyber Monday deal for 50% off this sweater so you can grab one for yourself or a loved one!

Leggings of the Year x SPANX
Drumroll pllllleeeeeaaaasssseeee and the Faux Leather Leggings of the year go to SPANX. I have never put a pair of leggings on my body that was so comfortable it’s literally insane! Sometimes leather has the misconception and sometimes the reality of being uncomfortable. I’ve put on some leather leggings that feel paper-thin, others that crunch when you walk, and some that literally look and feel like a trash bag. But sisssss I am here to save the day!

Give me the green light honey!!! Because we going full speed ahead no brakes in this sweater dress. I mean it’s so many elements of this dress that I absolutely love and sis I need for you to love it too! Do we love it? First off, it’s the color for me!

Golden Hour
The coziest and my all-time favorite cardigan is this beautiful mustard one. Every fall I can’t wait to pull it out of my closet. You know those pieces that every time you wear it you get compliments! Well, this is the one. It’s so beautiful from the long line to the color it’s a must have!
Rust is A Must
Get into fall with fall colors! Even if the weather in your location is not quite feeling like fall consider wearing fall colors to get all the fall feels. My favorites are of course olive, burgundy, mustard, and my new favorite RUST! Rust is a beautiful combination of red, orange, and brown. The color makes you think of everything fall pumpkins, leaves changing color, and warm fires. This color comes in many variations and looks great against many skin tones!
Curves vs. Budget

Self-Care Check-in
We have all heard the saying you cannot pour from an empty cup. How can I show up for you all if I am not showing up for myself? Sometimes I feel like you need a mental reset and refocus. This is that week for me. I need a reset when it comes to my health and fitness, my prayer life, and a total reset on how I utilize my time. Let me be the first to tell you it is okay to recognize areas you are undone because we do not have to be fully together. I am thriving to continuously evolve not thriving for perfection. Part of my mental reset and refocus is taking care of myself. Below I will be sharing some self-care tips that I will be initiating this week:
Bonita Applebum
Statement pieces are perfect to add variety to your wardrobe. Show up at the office or dinner in this fiery red pencil skirt and see if you turn heads. Honestly, I have not bought a pencil skirt in a very long time, but when I saw this one I knew I had to have it! Do you feel comfortable in bold colors or do you shy away from them?
Morning Bliss
Good morning loves,
“You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.” — John C. Maxwell
How you start your day has a lot to do with how the rest of your day will go. Making simple changes in your daily routine can make a huge difference in overall productivity and success. Working from home has indeed made me lazy or I’ll say more carefree. Honestly creating and sticking to a morning routine is tough. Nonetheless as I’ve gotten more on my plate as an influencer/blogger it’s important for me to take full advantage of my time to ensure I’m meeting my goals. Here lately my morning routine consists of the following:
Effortlessly Edgy
Everyone has that one piece that makes you feel like you that chick!! For the fall and winter months for me, it’s definitely a faux leather moto jacket. I literally feel like a rock star it’s just something about the leather. Like honey let me gone head and get on somebody motorcycle lol!
As we begin to transition into a new season it’s the perfect time to shop for fall pieces! With this time of COVID we may have found a small silver lining as we approach cooler months. Outdoor activities are becoming the safest and with cooler temperatures ahead the moto jacket is a must-have!
Falling Forward
“You have to cherish things in a different way when you know the clock is ticking, you are under pressure” - Chadwick Boseman
The shocking and painful loss of Chadwick really caught everyone off guard. His accomplishments at the young age of 43 were truly remarkable. In such a short time here you could tell he was living every day with purpose. Honestly, for me losing good people that I feel had so much more to give always hits home for me. It always reminds me that we are truly on borrowed time another day is not promised.
