Orange is the new black | Cut out padded maxi dress

black-blogger-content-creator-orange-dress-hypnozglam

Happy Tuesday Beauties,

Another day to be grateful for, another outfit post to share with you all , though this sexy orange number is a dress I wouldn’t have worn before; not even during my teenage years, not even when I had a flatter belly and/or narrower midsection. Why?
Simply because of the morals I was raised upon. A well-educated girl, or a grown woman, or a Christian, or a lady, or a married woman, or all of the above shouldn’t show too much skin, her mid-section/belly in public… feel free to insert any other societal construct you want in here… but I digress.

I’m in a period of my life where I’m embracing every part of my journey, my body, my femininity, my flaws, and my assets to regain my true inner confidence, despise the many changes throughout the years, to accept who I have become while working toward the woman I’m truly destined to be. This journey has no destination, as I don’t really know where it’s taking me, but I am enjoying every single moment of it! I’m enjoying the process.

While I’m not advocating for anything I’m saying here, I just want women to know that
the journey of healing, the journey of doing the work is never done. We continue to grow, evolve, and uncover new depths of self.

One mistake I see a lot of women (including myself until up to some point of my life) make is thinking that doing the work is separate from building your empire, following your dreams, and still being a badass.

The two work together and go hand in hand! You don’t need to stop your life and wait to be “healed”.

There is nothing that forbids or prevents you from being a creator of your destiny; not even healing!
SO… let’s go girl! Embrace every part of your journey, do the work, go through the healing the way only you think is good for you, but just don’t sit on the sidelines. Go through it. Live through it.🧡

Thank you for coming to my TED talk:-) and if you love the look, check below for shopping links.

Lacing Up Yellow MIDI Dress

yellow-midi-lace-up-dressHappy Monday, beauties.

Yellow has literally been my color lately. For some reasons I have been drawn to it more than usual; and it has been so flagrant that I have received comments from friends and family on how for the last few weeks, the vast majority of my outfits had been yellow or another variant of the color yellow.

Coincidence, you may say? Maybe! Divine order or alignment? Most definitely, in my humble opinion.

Here are some meaning of the color yellow (If you don’t know).

Yellow is for happiness, hope, and spontaneity. It’s youthful full of positivity. It represents the sun, sunflowers, and joyful, smiley faces.

Yellow is also a color that stimulates our nerves, glands, and brain, making us more alert and energized. It boosts our memory and encourages communication.

I’m sure there are more meanings of the color yellow, so if I’m missing anything here, feel free to share it in the comment session with me and other readers.

Will you be wearing bright colors during Fall – which is already upon us? Or will you be sticking with Fall’s earthtones colors?

Talk soon 🙂

Cut out Print Maxi dress | Vacation Style

summer-maxi-dress-fall-hypnozglamHello, friends!

Happy September. I can’t believe that we are already in September! If feels like June was here like yesterday. Doesn’t it?!

I’m basically not paying attention to all the Fall fashion memo stores and fashionistas are putting out there. As long as the weather permits it, I’m still living in my Summer pieces while it lasts 🙂 In fact, I just came back from a sun-kissed vacation and it was everything that I needed and more. If you’re following me on Instagram, I’m sure you’ve seen some behind-the-scenes of our stay at the beautiful Civana, a Wellness Resort and Spa nested in Carefree Arizona. It was phenomenal and I got the rest and recharge that I needed.
I wore this maxi dress at the resort and have gotten so many compliments. It’s such a beautiful, comfortable and cute dress. In fact, I have this dress in a different print. I love the style, and this was a perfect vacation dress, leaving a lot to the imagination white still showing a bit of skin.

What do you think of this look? Are you over Summer and ready for Fall? Or are you still enjoying the last few days left in Summer?
xoxo

Happy 4th of July | Mustard-Yellow Summer Look

 

Happy 4th of July, everyone.

June had come and gone in a blink of an eye. It’s unreal to think that we’re already halfway through the year. On the other hand, family and work have kept me very busy and that’s the reason why I haven’t been really consistent around here; but I promise to do my best and show up as often as I can.

I have had the opportunity to shot this mini-shoot a few weeks ago, and I was glad to be back in the swing of thing and however incertain the frequency, I’m still happy I get to do it.
You may (especially if you follow me on instagram) or may have not noticed, but yellow is my new black. As a matter of fact, yellow had always been one of my favorite colors, but it has been on heavy repeat lately and I’m not complaining 🙂

These mustard-yellow pants from Amazon The Drop have been in my wardrobe for a little while now, but it’s a good oldie. I paired them with this fun and cute spaghetti straps top I purchased a while ago as well. I finally decided to take it out for a spin this Summer, and I’m glad I did. I felt all cute and serene in these Minneapolis streets. Such a fun and elegant summer look that I would wear to brunch,  a fourth of July or graduation party. Would you wear it?

Minnesota Fashion Week Ambassador Mixer Event

fashion-week-mn-outfit-ambassador-events

Fashion Week Minnesota was a total hit this past April. Many shows were sold out and the events were full of amazing local talents. Even though I have watched most shows in the comfort of my Pj’s, because I was under the weather and was nursing myself back to health at the time, I enjoyed every bit of it, thanks to the Fashion Week MN team that made sure to kindly broadcast the shows live on Instagram.

I’m part of the Fashion Week MN class of 2022 ambassadors program, and prior to the shows, I had the honor to attend the Fashion Week Ambassador Mixer Event at the Can Can Wonderland in Saint Paul, MN. It was a beautiful and fun experience altogether, and also a great opportunity to sip and mingle with like-minded fashion enthusiasts, fashionistas, and influencers; and who can say no to some photoshoot sessions? Not me, anyways! 🙂

The event has been sponsored by Can Can Wonderland in Saint Paul, who provided the venue and food;  Patron and Press Seltzer made sure we were good on beverages and Buttercream Wedding Cakes came through with the delicious desserts. Everything was great and so much fun; and these beautiful pictures were taken by @LordHamlet73 and @theriot.photo. You can find all these local businesses on Instagram. Go support if you can. 🙂

As far as my outfit goes, I kept it real simple and elegant. The statement piece of my outfit was my Brazilian gold necklace set, that has gotten many compliments. – Message me to order –  It was still a chilly night in the Midwest, so this classy soft satin trench coat was the perfect pair to my form-hugging sleeveless mustard midi dress. I think both colors complemented each other nicely; Sometimes even in the world of fashion week, less is more. 🙂 – Enjoy the pictures.
