Weekend Wear: Leopard Dress + Distressed Jeans

As I write this post I am sitting on my couch enjoying the last few hours of my four-day Memorial Day Weekend. I had the opportunity to get some much-needed rest, hang-out and do a little shopping. Speaking of shopping have you guys bought anything from Zara recently.  I usually save my coins and stock up during the mid-season or year-end sale Zara is known for. Which is where this fabulous leopard dress came from that I am wearing as a duster. Leopard Comeback Does it seem like Leopard has made a comeback? Over the past several months I’ve come across a ton of Leopard pieces everywhere. Y’all know I love a leopard statement piece. Like my favorite leopard blazer worn here, here, and here.

My First Essence Fest Experience

Whew, chile…I’ve been gone for a minute. I know y’all are tired of reading these “I’m back” statements when I get missing unexpectedly. Finding the balance of blogging and working has been a struggle. Mostly because I didn’t have someone to take my photos consistently. However, I recently found a new photographer to work with that is cost-effective and available consistently. So it’s back to banging out this content. I have so many things to catch you guys up on. One of them being my first attendance at Essence Fest. The past few years Essence Fest has been the melanin mecca of summer festivals.  Every year I say, “next year I am going”. So when my cousin invited me to attend with her BFF I agreed right away and asked my BFF to join…GIRLS TRIP!  We immediately decided that we were purchasing the three-day tickets for concerts. I wasn’t really…
