A Documentation of Classic Fashion and Life
Day two of the Essence Festival was a chill one. I wore another old dress that I purchased years ago with my favorite Steve Madden booties (currently sold out) to keep my feet comfortable and chic. I hung out on Frenchmen Street in New Orleans with my girl, and we did some eating and bar hopping. I'm enjoying the weekend and have no complaints. I hope the same for you guys!
Peace and Blessings!

I spent Saturday with my friend Jewel and her daughter, my goddaughter, Kai. They are moving next week, and we wanted to get some quality time in before they left. Children are so funny and honest to me, and it's cool just to be in their presence. They are some of the most interesting little creatures.
Jewel and I are in the process of training Kai on how to take pictures (don't judge us). Above she was looking at the passer-by like "lady, please get out of our pic!" Since there were too many distractions in that area, I found another area for her to pose in with her mother, and Kai brought it! Check them out below.
Isn't this the cutest picture? Kai was not taking this picture without her toy ponies. She strategically positioned them in front of her before she struck her pose lol. Oh and Kai's entire outfit (shoes and all) was purchased from a consignment shop. Parents, don't sleep on consignment shops for your kids. You can find the most stylish outfits for half the price! Also, rompers are definitely a summer staple. Jewel's lace romper is a stylish way to stay cool and beat the heat.
Above is a more detailed look at my outfit. I threw on an old unitard (all in one suit) that I've had for years (I'm currently searching for a new one), a flannel shirt from Forever 21 to tie around my waist, and the most comfortable tennis shoes ever!!! These Asics tennis shoes are gel-like, and they conform to your feet. They are so easy to maneuver, and they have a classic look to them which is why I am really feeling them. I can't wear them enough! I got them from an exclusive sneaker boutique in Baton Rouge called Private Stock BR. If you are looking for some comfortable running shoes, these are it.
Thank you sooooo much for reading my blogs. I appreciate it more than you know. Enjoy the rest of your weekend - see you again on here soon!
