I remember the first time I laid eyes on an Oscar De La Renta gown, it was love at first sight. Technically I don’t have a favorite color, but I’m very fond of black. Some of my favorite looks from the late great designer are his black gowns. They’re breathtaking! I’ve always wondered if I had the opportunity to wear one of his dresses, where would I wear it to. Then I thought, life is too short to save a dress for the perfect moment. I’d wear it for a night out on the town, to dinn[...]

Lately, I’ve been looking for a skincare line that can adjust to my changing needs. Unfortunately, the older I get, I’ve noticed that my skin is not responding to my previous skincare regimen like it used to. Living in Michigan, the winters can be very harsh on my skin, leaving my face feeling dry. Another issue I was having is when I started working out on a regular basis. My forehead started to break out, which became pretty noticeable. I was a bit upset because I’ve never had a pro[...]
One must-have summer staple piece that every fashionista should have in her closet is a maxi dress. I love summer dresses. They're cute, simple, and comfy on those super hot days.

A great piece to wear to the office, then out for an after 5 affair. I myself own about 6 m[...]
