Shoes I’m Loving Right Now
Marilyn Monroe said it best, “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” I don’t know about you, but I love myself a good shoe! However, what exactly constitutes “a good shoe” varies depending upon the occasion. I’ve done quite a bit of updating to my shoe wardrobe recently so I thought I’d share with you the shoes I’m loving right now and why. Heels Daisie This pair of shoes is what I’d call a “no-brainer” Every woman needs a basic, black pump in her closet. Whether you’re planning to wear them for a Saturday night out, a Sunday morning in church, to a wedding or…

Candy Colored Stripes and Fringe
Spring Cometh It’s official! Punxsutawney Phil has spoken and it’s gonna be an early spring for 2019! Ok… so maybe Phil doesn’t really know, but one thing we do know for sure is that spring cometh. She comes every year, like clock work right at the end of winter. While we have no idea of knowing when the weather will warm up and stay warm there is still no time like the present to start “brightening” up our wardrobes a bit with some bright candy colored stripes. Each season I like to pick up a few new pieces to spruce up my wardrobe. While there may still be a lot…

OOTD: 80’s Inspired Athleisure
For years I avoided the whole leggings and athleisure trend. I just didn’t think of leggings as “bottoms.” However, I’m happy to say that even though I’m well into my thirties I continue to evolve. So much so that for me, leggings are now a weekend and travel staple. You’re probably wondering what it was that finally made me eat my words and jump on the bandwagon. In one word, airplanes. Over the last few years I’ve spent a good chunk of time flying back and forth, and here and there. Airplanes are notorious for being cramped and uncomfortable, and as far as I’m concerned, they are cold too. I’ve…

One Piece, Five Looks: Sweater Dress
Recently while browsing the Express website, as I often do, I came across this super cute sweater dress. When I saw it I immediately knew that I had the perfect piece to pair it with already in my closet. The dress was on sale and available in my size so I grabbed it up. Fast forward to a few days later when the dress arrived, like a kid on Christmas I ripped open the bag. I was excited to try it on and see if “the look” I had put together in my head translated in real life. Luckily it did, but as I was standing in front of my…

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…
