NYFW Day 3 Pt.1 – Red Wide Leg Pants

RED WIDE LEG PANTS, AGACI, NYFW SEPTEMBER 2017, NYFW STYLE, NYFW OUTFITS, New York FASHION WEEK, BLACK LACE BODYSUIT, PRADA SUNGLASSES, WHITE VEST

Happy Monday everyone!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Today I’m sharing the details of the first half of my Saturday at NYFW, and these amazing red wide leg pants and lace bodysuit combo. This was one of my favorite looks for New York Fashion Week and my second most photographed look. I loved the bright color and flowy nature of these wide leg pants. This look was definitely out of my comfort zone, but I’m glad I wore it because it help me recreate the ever popular power suit trend which was still very much a statement at the Taoray Wang show. Read more about this outfit, my day, and my fifteen seconds of fame and how I got to be part of a segment on E below!

Hey everyone,

So in continuation of my Day One NYFW recap, today I will be recapping day two. I wore three outfits for day two but will only be breaking it down into two different post. So much happened that I want to make sure I cover it all without getting too long and overdrawn in the first post. Today’s recap will also include this outfit and our Brooklyn Bridge photo shoot. It was a dream come true to shoot on this bridge. I lived out my Sex and the City dreams up here. Plus the views of the city was spectacular. I can’t wait to show you on my Video Blog recap.

Dear Jayden,

It’s me, your number one fan. I have been since the day I found out I was having you, I knew there was nothing I wanted more than you. To see you grow, to see you flourish, to see you become the man God has destined you to be. I could only imagine when you were growing inside me, what you would look like, what your personality would be, and know that you are here you are more than I could have ever imagined. Is it so wrong for me to think you are the most perfect little being that God has ever created? I am so amazed by you, each and every day. I stare at you while you sleep and I thank God everyday for giving me such a blessing. You are my little angel in disguised, my saving grace. I owe so much of me and who I am now to you. I never knew I could be this strong, love so much, and be who I am today without you.

Back to School Mommy Style

Back to School Mommy Style, fitness, destructed jeans

I’m so excited for school to start this year. Jayden will be doing three days of Mother’s Day Out at the best MDO program in Clear Lake. He went last year for two days and loved it. I’m also excited to have a couple of hours for myself to focus on my blog and my fitness . The year has been a struggle with me trying to balance it all, and getting pulled in all different directions. But this school year I decided to make a change and focus on three things that mattered to me most, my family, fitness, and my blogging. It will be a busy school year for the both us, and I am sharing my mommy style for back to school that will get me through the day in comfort and style. Continue reading “Back to School Mommy Style”
