Street Chic-Sweats & Leggings: OOTD
Let’s face it… who’s not obsessed with atheleisure wear? Even us none athletes have made leggings a weekend staple. I mean they are so comfy. But just because they are “athletic wear”, who said they can’t be street chic? Sweat what? For every Mom-on-the-Go, appropriate leggings are a must!! And I think that I’ve found them. I purchased these leggings with a leather stripped detail from Fashion Nova a while back. They pair so well with any top. They are made out of a heavy cotton/spandex blend, so they are super stretchable and breathable, yet warm enough to wear in the winter months. Definitely the epitome of Street Chic! Distressed…

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico: Must Visit Couples Destination
OMG, there is no other way to describe Puerto Vallarta other than A-MAZING! It’s perfectly situated between majestic mountains, beautiful blue skies, deep aqua seas, and sandy beaches. No matter what terrain your heart desires, you can find it here. With picture perfect views if I may add. My friends and I stumbled upon this location out of pure luck to be honest. So, like most of you reading this post, when I thought of the “Classic Mexico Beach” trip, I thought of Cancun, Cozumel, and Playa del Carmen to name a few. However; thanks to one of my favorite reality shows, “Braxton’s Family Values”, we decided to visit a…

OOTD: Cheetah Print Cardigan
A Walk on the Wild Side Cheetah print is one of my favorite colors. I mean what is there not to like?! Ok, so it’s a pattern and not a color, but it is truly a basic neutral that every woman should have in her closet. The right piece of cheetah can take you from work to play and everything in between. Until recently I was on the hunt for the perfect cheetah print cardigan. My search recently ended when I found this cardi at Old Navy. This super soft cotton cardigan features long sleeves with rib knit cuffs and a crew neck, making it workable for year round wear.…

Confessions of a Beauty Addict Part I: Breaking Free from the Clutter
I have a confession to make, my name is V. Richelle and I’m addicted to beauty products. Skincare, cleansers, palettes, highlighters, lipsticks, you name it. I’m a sucker for slick claims and cute packaging. I cannot tell you the countless amount of money I’ve spent over the years purchasing products I fully intended to use, but that that didn’t quite work out and ended up lodged in the back of my bathroom cabinet never to be seen or heard from again. There were products I was too lazy to use, the ones that didn’t quite fit my needs, or wants. There were products that didn’t agree with my skin and…

OOTD: Nude Heels and Chunky Knits
For months now I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect brown girl nude heels. It was nothing short of a Christmas miracle, but a few weeks ago, after trying on countless pairs of shoes and nearly giving up, I found my match! I was browsing the Cyber Monday sales on some of my favorite websites when I came across these beauties. The lesson here, even when things seem impossible, don’t give up! When I saw these babies, it was love at first sight! They had everything I as looking for. The perfect heel height, at 3.5 inches, the right color and the right material. Personally, I prefer suede to…
