5 Reasons Why Life is Easier in a Dress

     No, I'm not the girl who absolutely loves wearing a dress. In fact, I prefer to wear jeans and a blazer. But I must admit, some of my best days took place while wearing a dress. I'll make tho quick and easy for you. Here's 5 reasons why life is easier in a dress. Ready. Set. Read! Wear. 

1. For some odd reason, a dress can make the toughest of girls feel sexy and secure. No. I'm not insecure while wearing anything else...I mean come on, how does that sound? But when I wear a dress, a carefree spirit comes over me. A reminder that life doesn't always have to be so serious. A dress that flows, only shows you that you should do just that, go with the flow. 

2. There's only one piece! Ha, one thing that I can't stand is the iron and an ironing board. Don't get it twisted, I'm not for the "Hurry up and go." wrinkled look neither. If I must iron, at least there's only one piece to tackle. It's also great knowing that you have a complete outfit. No scavenger hunts for the perfect matching top or bottom here. 

3. Legs. We all have them...I hope. Show them off. In a time where people barely wear clothes, I thought I'd catch  you before you hop onboard with such a horrible trend. Let's give those guys something to dream about. Legs are a sexy part of your body that gives just enough. Warning ⚠️: If you apply Coconut Oil or Nivea body lotion, you're simply dressed to kill honey...in a good way that is.  

4. Dresses are the first thing you should throw in the midist of a staring at your clothing saying " I don't have anything to wear "moment. Snap out of it and continue on with your day. We have paper to chase!

5.  Dresses are also a gift great traveling essential. Are you the girl who has to sit ontop of her luggage just to be able to close it? Ha, yep that's me. Outfit security is a must, I mean you don't know what could happen. The more outfits you pack the more secure you feel...am I right or am I right? Pack those babies like never before. 

 Now, you have a legitimate reason to spend that dough, now go out a rack up on those dresses!

Saturdaze

Lets be clear, I was born in 1987 and my friend and I went to a I love the 90's concert. Yes, we only knew 3 1/2 songs but everyone else knew EVERY word. If you haven't seen the Amway Center, I'll save you the google search by saying  it screams photo opp!  That's if you're into laser lights and such and overusing "it's lit" as your caption.

Denim Speaks Louder

I love this overshirt from Zara for some many reasons. Well duh, I kind of love everything from Zara but that's not the point! Now is a time when the world seems to shaken up by the inevitable, and while that may be true for majority...I just can't be in that number.

  Positivity and faith is what keep me afloat and alive. It's so easy to fall down because getting up takes a ton of strength. I say get up and run towards those things that we desire. Besides circumstances that were a surprise to us and the world wasn't a surprise to the one who's really in control.

My friends, I dare you to smile uncontrollably and know that you ARE beautiful. -Stride in Style ✌🏾.

29 Candles

     As the hours of my birthday begin to dwindle, I couldn't be more happy. The future is that thing that gives us something to hope for.  Birthdays has always been my favorite while others dread becoming a year older, I embark on a new journey. New Years is great! I like to celebrate a new age just a little bit more.

       As I gaze and picture 29 candles on my cake, I am filled with excitement and faithfulness. If God has brought me this far, how much further can I go? I guess I'll enjoy the ride and my successes begin to show. Thanks to everyone who shared wish with me. I intend to make them my reality. Happy birthday to me!

Walk To Your Own Beat With Dolce & Gabbana

I'm not sure where I've been but Dolce & Gabbana is on and sparkling! I've always thought the Italian brand was spunky, motherly, and sexy all wrapped in one but their latest show is definitely a fav! First things first, hoodies are my thing, will always be my thing and there's nothing anyone can say or do to change that. The sequined hoodie (below) is simply genius! I mean, what a way to overdress right? I'm all for overdressing [insert Cruella Deville's laugh here]. Disclaimer* some who overdress don't seek attention from others, they actually to it for themselves.

I have a love hate relationship with sequin. Sometimes it gives me "ugh disco ball", and there are times when "I need a sequin dress in my life now!" Yeah I know...confusing.

Creating The New You

If I told you that I probably won't be the same person tomorrow as I am today, would you believe me? One thing that most people get caught in is all of the characteristics about themselves that they dislike. I've never been one who values the like of others...I'm just me. The best thing you can do for yourself is to fall in love with who you are, tweak the things that you may need to change and move forward. 

If there's something weighing you down like a sudden breakup or losing your job or even a family member; the best thing you can do for yourself is to wind yourself up, put your shoulders back  and push forward.

I love changing my hair and I'm kind of known for doing such a thing  often but no one knows why I do it. I reinvent myself often by pushing myself to strive for things that most people would imagine to be the impossible. Who decides whether or not we can attain the things that we want? It's all in us. Negativity can be a massive growth if we allow such a thing to take over us. I chose to allow the masses of possibility, chance, and faith to grow uncontrollably within me. Are you with me?

Hello Summer

The heat has slapped us time and time again. But today is actually the first day of summer! This summer will be like no other. I'm so excited to start new projects and ends few others.  A friend of mine is having a pool party so I made it my business to pick up something cute. Do you love this crop top from Zara? It was 39.90. Yep, cheap. I dropped a new pair of sandals in my bag too. Green has to be my long lost favorite color. I look forward to sharing my summer looks with you. Peace and style my friends.

Kale Mix

I'm in to kale like the rest of the world. One things for sure, I haven't mastered the mix of kale and whatever else it goes with. I love sweet potatoes and it just seemed like the yummy thing to do. Bam, kale with peppers, onions with a side of yams. What do you pair with your kale?

By Chloe Please

My, my, my i'm not sure if all vegan food is this good but By Chloe has made me a believer. I know you're not trying hear it. Especially if you love eating meat. I'm definitely not vegan but I'm not a lover of the meats either. Mmmm I guess I just like what I like. No, I don't have a favorite food. My appetite changes like my outfits I guess...it just comes with the territory honey hahaha! Just make sure that you find your way to By Chloe if you're in Cali, NY, or Boston and give it a whirl. You'll love me for it. Peace. Don't be greedy be vegan doesn't mean cheap.

With Sprinkles on Top

Everyone knows that I love my snacks. I'm not one who has a favorite food. I guess my appetite is a lot like my wardrobe, it transforms to something new daily. I finally made a trip to Disney Springs, the new place to go in Orlando.  I heard Zara and Sprinkles and I knew I had to be there! I thought that I would have to take a flight to California for the Sprinkles ATM experience but I was wrong. Sprinkles Cupcakes has landed in Orlando. Boy did that save me some money! 

A second Zara location was just what I needed, I mean you can't expect a girl to be satisfied with ONE Zara in her city; especially when Zara is basically on every corner in New York. The new Disney Springs location is beautiful, it seems like the building structure was inspired by the original Zara stores in Spain. I'm a modern girl so the Florida mall Zara is still my favorite .
