Orchid Craze

















Before the end of 2013 Pantone let the world know what the chosen color for the year 2014 would be. .and that is Radiant Orchid. I offered up a tip of advice for those looking to rock this beautiful shade but there is more than just 1 of this beautiful color. Finding out which shade is perfect for you is the key. It's not only for the purpose of wearing. .but you will find this color is Gorgeous in shoes, nail color shades, even adding a pop to a room in your home, or decor.

Here are a few FAVs I found online to share. .



















The "Little Orchid Dress" will be a staple for any Fashionistas wardrobe for this Spring/Summer. This particular style is a twist on the "LBD" and can be paired for the office with the perfect Cardigan and Scarf. My night the Cardigan and Scarf can be removed and replace with a beautiful collar statement necklace, bracelet, and earrings.



















Nothing says sophistication like a classic Manolo Blahnik. (I have a Black leather pair similar to this and they have never gone out of style.)
This sleek suede pump in a more vibrant shade of orchid but a must have for this upcoming year.















Hoopla "Diagnose Me", Butter London "Molly Coddled", and OPI "I'm Feeling Sashy"

Starting out the New Year right we look for new things to give us that spunk. .a lot of times it can be a change of nail color to give us just that. 3 of the top Nail Lacques lines have delivered just that.

























Feeling the need to add a little spice and change up a few things in your living space? For my ladies this is the perfect time to tap into what your outlook is for this New Year, how you want to jazz up your "quiet place" in your home, or just simply change some things to let your personality shine. I loved this photo because it incorporates several of my favorite shades but what does it for me is the bright orchid walls and white trimming. Such soothing yet invigorating colors.

This was just a few more ways on how to add this gorgeous color into your life this year.

Sorry!! Anywhoo. .over the weekend I heard some of the BEST news a book-lover could ever hear. .That one of your FAVorite characters will be coming to the big screen. Picked up by "Codeblack Films" a subsidiary of Lionsgate they will bring to life one of the most known urban book characters "Tracy Ellison" of Omar Tyree's book trilogy that all started with "Flyy Girl". I have been reading Omar Tyree's books since I was 17 and he is honestly one of my FAVorite authors. A little on Mr. Tyree. . (Woo. .Isn't he Handsome!!) A child of the 70's Tyree was born and raised in Philadelphia (he let it be known that he is a "100% Philadelphian) with a strong stepfather who was a role model and a disciplinary that gave him the freedom to explore and put him in line anytime he strayed. Tyree became a fan of classic fil...

Labor Day

Labor Day was founded after the Pullman Strike of 1894, when President Cleveland was hoping to gain political allyship by honoring railroad workers. However, the story about the involvement of the Black Pullman porters in the labor movement is not always told. “Pullman porters were black men who worked in the train cars attending to their mostly white passengers, performing such tasks as shining shoes, carrying bags, and janitorial services. During this period, this profession was the largest employer of blacks in the nation and constituted a significant portion of the Pullman company’s workforce…” -Theodore R. Johnson Despite Black porters being a significant part of the Pullman’s workforce, they were not allowed to strike and were also denied access to the labor union. This led Black railroad workers to form their own union, the Brotherhood of the Sleeping Car Porters, which was the first Black union in America. A. Philip Randolph was the first president of the union, and he was also...
