Happy Friday darlings! Hope you’re staying cozy today! I gave you a sneak peek of this look on Instagram back in Jan but today I’m happy to finally where the full look with you!

Truth be told. I planned to shoot a couple Valentine’s Day looks this weekend for you gals but I was feeling a little low on energy ( I think I need to beef up my intake of iron & vitamin D) so I decided to just relax. This can be challenging for me because I always want to use my extra time when I’m not at work to create content and when I don’t, I feel like I’ve wasted time. Do you ever feel that way?

I recently listened to a podcast with Oprah and Brene Brown and they talked about the importance of not always being on and that we need time to recharge. Easier said than done but I’m working on it, especially when it comes to my mind because boy oh boy, that thing can go nine knots an hour (as we say in Guyana). 

Weeeee! It's almost that time of year to celebrate L-O-V-E and I am pumped! I love celebrating love and my love language is that of giving and receiving gifts, mostly receiving (lol). Don't take my word for it though, this quiz confirmed what I'd known for years. Honestly, truly!

So with that being said, I bring you my annual love language guide full of gifts in shades of my favorite color, pink! So show your sweethearts, galentines, sisters and Moms just how much you care unless they speak a diff love language and in that case I can't help you cus I'm all about the gifts. 

Let the countdown to New Year’s begin! It’s been quite an interesting year and as we prepare to usher in a new one, I want to take a moment to say thank you to all who’ve supported my creative endeavors in life, here on the blog as well as on social media.

I re-embarked on my creative journey back in 2015 after going through a pretty difficult period in life and through my challenges and pain that I grew closer to God and listened. It was time to put me first, time to get back to my creative work & time to pursue my purpose! I'm still on this journey and still listening and while I know the holidays can be tough for many I want to encourage you to hang in there. Hang in there even when you feel lost. Get closer to God and listen to your instincts because it’s in these very moments you are able to re-ignite yourself and build your strengths. Every experience is a lesson! 

Hello darlings! Today I'm happy to bring another edition of "Style & The Bar Cart." If you're not familiar with this series let me quickly break it down for you. 

Style & The Bar Cart is a creative production that combines my passions (style, decor, vintage & DIY) to serve as outfit and occasion inspiration for the modern-vintage girl who loves to entertain in style and prefers cocktails over wine. I've created 3 entries in the series thus far and today I'm elated to bring you a holiday inspired cart just in time for Christmas! 

For this Bar Cart I wanted to do something traditional and incorporate one of my favorite holiday prints; Tartan. This print scream classic Christmas but I still wanted to add my own twis to it and that's when I reached out for your opinion. Would it be #TropicalTartan or #TartanWithATwist? 

The majority of votes supported #TropicalTartan and I was super happy about that because anything Tropical is right up my alley. I also liked the other theme so I decided to combine the two and bring you tartan with a tropical twist! Clever right?!

The holidays are here and unlike last year's tropical theme I'm ushering in the season with a classic Christmas color palette of red white and green. Whenever I think of these colors I immediately think of so all the things we love about the holidays; Christmas trees, holly branches, peppermint candy canes, mistletoe, eggnog, Santa and so much more.

Although I decided to bring some classic holiday style to the blog I decided to do it with a twist by wearing this vintage poppy print Summer dress. I picked up this lovely number off Etsy at the end of Summer and even shared a sneak peek with you on in my Instagram stories. Quite a few of you loved it and expressed excitement around how I'd style it. Well the wait is finally over and today you can see how I put together this look for Christmas in bloom!
