Did you know I'm also a wine connoisseur? I make pour decisions over at the Unpolished Grape.
Yep, we ditch everything and don’t feel guilty! As moms, we usually spend a great part of our lives tending to our children, making plans, scheduling appointments, and coordinating all aspects of their busy little lives. So every once and a while we have to live and celebrate ourselves- guilt-free! Welcome to the mom ditch-day…
This year’s Diner En Blanc was a hit, as usual! Every year, thousands of attendees from all over the city meet up at a secret place to participate in an epic, all-white pop-up flash dinner. It’s not just any dinner, it’s elegance upon elegance. Beautiful ensembles, festive head-wear, and unique tablescapes…every year the creativity gets…
This morning I woke up at 5am, ran around the house like a crazy person making sure every little thing was in order for the kids’ day, peaked in their backpacks to see that the Valentine’s Day candy bags were still accounted for (thank GOD I remembered to throw the bags in there because having…
THEY SAY black women are angry. Aggressive. Apathetic. Jaded. I’m here today to correct that stereotype and tell you otherwise. “They” also say necessity is the mother of invention. Now I give credit where credit is due, because “they” got that one right. Three years ago I desperately needed a space to just be. As…
Recently, I’ve been hearing a lot of racket about solo vacations and traveling alone. I used to think this was a crazy idea. Yea….no. A trip alone sounded beyond boring….actually downright anxiety-provoking in some aspects. What the heck would I do by myself on a vacation? Not interested. But also me…. FOMO (fear of missing…
If you’ve never eaten out alone before, get your entire hungry life together and try it!
“Will you be my friend? Circle one: yes, no, maybe so.” As children, the friend game was so easy. I remember starting 3rd grade at a new school, in a new city, and during the first week, a classmate I did not know came up to me and said “do you want to be my…
The air is cooler, the leaves are falling, the wardrobes are changing. What better time for an autumn photo shoot with some amazing pink fur? Like most of her ensembles, this one is no different. Both the pink patterned dress and the pink and green bomber jacket are from H&M, our favorite store. Check out…
Sassy Plum out on the town! As wine connoisseurs, we knew this was the perfect event for us! Fellow SP blogger Kim and I decided to paint the town red…..with red wine that is! We stopped by Wine Riot at Revel Fulton Market for 2.5 hours of unlimited wine-sampling! All you can drink…. kind of…

Diner en Blanc Chicago always makes the exclusive invitees fashionably caravan to a special meeting spot in the city to do a flash-mob dining event more grand than any upscale restaurant! Thousands of people are lead to a top-secret location where…
When my daughter and I were invited to a tea party birthday celebration, we HAD to arrive in our fabulous matching tea party dresses!
You know how people say they like your outfit and you awkwardly respond, “thanks, it has pockets!” Yeah that happened to me when I wore this jumpsuit to the Kendrick Lamar concert. It is chic, comfy, and fitted in all the right places! Best of all, it has pockets wide enough for a cell phone!…
This week’s photo shoot is brought to you by Cat & Jack (all my Target shoppers know this brand all too well)! You can find this “Force of Nature” dress here. Shoes are bebe courtesy of Amazon. I usually aim to french braid her hair into styles that last at least a week. This French…
Recently my daughter had a ballet recital that she worked all season to perfect! Before the big dance, I had to do an impromptu photo shoot and get some practice in with my new camera! Check out the shots below.
