Happy Friday Darling Divas!

I am back again with yet another OOTD post, and I am excited because it features one of my favorite t-shirts that I have been DYING to wear since I purchased it! That’s So Raven was my favorite show growing up and provided me with so much representation and inspiration. I also have often been told that I look a lot like Raven Symone, so that’s also always a plus! When I first laid eyes on this shirt I knew I had to have it, and knew that it would be a hit when I finally was able to wear it! I decided to take it for a spin at my Godson’s first bday party last weekend I was and feeling all my Raven Symone feels!

Happy Humpday Darling Divas!

Let me first start this blog post off by saying happy pride to all my Darling Divas/o that are celebrating this month. You all so beautifully live out loud all year round, but June is your month to shine and I hope you have been enjoying it thus far! This week I am back with another fun and fabulous OOTD that I am so excited to share! This past Saturday I went to Sesame Place for my niece’s 2nd b-day, and I thought it was the perfect occasion to break out this fabulous skirt that I got from Ashley Stewart’s Curvy Girl Pride Collection! I have always loved the rainbow, so when I snagged my hands on this skirt I was one happy camper! As an Ally to the LGBTQIA+ community recognizing and celebrating Pride is always a big deal for me, so I’m glad to see that brands like Ashley Stewart have joined in on the celebration! Most of the collection is now sold out, but click here to check out what they may have left!

How to Transition Your Wardrobe from Winter to Spring

Hello All My Darling Divas!

If you’re subscribed to the new mailing list then you already know that right now I am having a bit of difficulty with my studio that I record in, so that’s why it’s been a couple of weeks since there has been a new post. I luckily had this pre-recorded video in my possession, so here it goes! Today I am going to share 4 tips on how you can transition your wardrobe from Winter to Spring. So enjoy the video, and meet me below for some more info!


I hope you enjoyed today’s video! I am still having some problems with my studio, so I am going to experiment with some IGtv videos that way I am still providing some content. Be sure you’re following me on IG so that you can see the video go live. You can also keep updated with the blog right from your inbox by joining the new mailing list. Click here to subscribe!

The 4 tips mentioned in this video

Tip 1: : Ditch the heavy coat. Keep out the lighter jackets

This is a look from my Style Swap Classic Video. Click here to check it out.

During springtime you still need a coat, so ditch the heavy coat and swap it with a lighter one. My favorite is this Jackie Car Coat that I got from The Girl With Curves X Dia&Co collection. Click here, here, and here to check out some more of my coat suggestions.

Tip 2: Pack up the heavy sweaters. Keep out the lighter ones

This the look from my Nov Fashion Faves Video. Click here to check it out.

Tank top time is near, but it’s not here quite yet, so you can still get away with some light sweaters. I love this top, but a comfy crewneck will also do the trick. Click here, here, and here to check out more of my favorite light sweaters.

Tip 3 :Don’t pack up your boots yet!

This look is from my Brand Spotlight: Loft Lookbook. Click here to check out that video.

If you’re like me then you have been WAITING to ditch the boots and rock some sandals, but don’t pack those boots up quite yet! They can still be rocked with dresses and skirts for Spring! Click here to check out Smash Shoes. I have been OBSESSING over there boots lately!

Smash Shoes is perfect for my ladies with a wider and/or larger foot!

Tip 4: Mix your darker colors with your lighter ones

This look is from my Complimentary Color Series Lookbook. Click here to check out this video

Don’t be afraid to mix some of your darker Winter colors with your lighter colors for Spring! It’s a great way to get creative with your looks! Below I have provided you with a color chart to see what new color combos you can create! To the left is a Winter palette, and to the right is a Spring one.
