The Power of Consistency

love the start of a new year - the freshness, the promise of new beginnings, the excitement of great possibilities and turning a new leaf. Like a lot of people, I made a few goals for this year. For me, goals are more real when you write them down, so they have been written and available for me to review periodically in order to monitor my progress. For as long as I can remember, I created goals.

Weekend Winter Wonderland: Accessorizing Your Winter Outfit

Although I don't necessarily love frigid winter weather, I love Fall and Winter fashion, especially in New York, a city that I believe encourages and celebrates individual style expression. In the colder months, I love to express my personal style through layering, I can have fun with different textures, colors, and patterns, which is exactly what I did with this look. The outfit is a recent find from Zara. T

My 2017 Fitness Goals: Healthy Weight Gain and Increased Muscle Mass

Three and a half years ago, I sat in front of my computer, ordered a pair of sneakers, bought a few workout outfits and researched gyms in my area. I remember feeling excited, because all of these things marked the beginning of my fitness journey to healthy weight gain and increased muscle mass. I walked into L.A. fitness with very little knowledge about weight lifting, but I was determined to start.

Fall Work Style - Patterned Pants

I've had these pants for awhile now and they are one of my favorite fun pieces to wear to work. Sometimes, my work outfits can begin to feel like a uniform and I love that patterned pants and skirts help me add a personal touch of flair to my outfits. I still don't have the mixing patterns and prints fully down (I'm working on it) so I usually pair my patterns and prints with a solid, like the black blazer I'm wearing and this silk blouse from Madewell

New Hairstyle

I change my hair quite often, but not as often as I did when I was in my 20s and not as busy as a working professional. For the past seven months, I've been wearing longer lengths. Maybe it's the new season or maybe it's celebrating a birthday recently, but I desired a fresh new do. I went shorter, and I'm loving it.

What If You Don't Have It All in Your 30s

A little over a week ago, I turned 32. If you had asked me 10 years ago, what my life would have looked like at 32, I would have told you that I would be a career woman, a mother and a wife. By this age, I would have "had it all." (Since then, I've realized that the notion of the superwoman who has it all is nothing but a farce). Well, that’s not exactly how my life is at 32, and I am completely o.k. with that. My lifeis unfolding in beautiful ways both planned and unplanned.

Fall Weekend Look

It felt like the perfect crisp cool Fall day yesterday in Brooklyn. After church, we brunched at Piquant. I haven't been to Piquant in a few years, and wondered why I hadn't. Delicious food, affordable brunch and bottomless mimosas - I made a mental note to come here for brunch more often. After brunch we spent some time outdoors enjoying the cool Fall air. We then spent the rest of the evening at Weather Up, which has quickly become one of my favorite places for cocktails and conversation in Brooklyn.

Celebrating My 32nd Birthday

Last week I celebrated my 32nd birthday. Birthdays mean a lot to me and I usually take time to reflect on my life, my goals, and my desires around my birthday. This birthday I felt incredibly grateful, I feel incredibly blessed in too many ways to count, and I thank God everyday for that. I remember a time in my life where I felt pressured to meet certain milestones within a specific period of time.
