Monday's Met Gala made its big return to its original night in May this year with plenty of fashion hits and misses. With the theme being, “Gilded Glamour” there was a large space for interpretation which can always be fun and interesting. The theme was inspired by the New York’s Gilded Age, emphasizing extravagance, very formal wear and fabrics such as silk, satin, velvet and more.

Fashion doesn't make masks any easier to wear but they definitely can be statement-makers if you have to wear them to be safe.
Masks can get costly, as the past few months have proven. Therefore, reusable masks are definitely the way to go. Luckily there are plenty of local spots in Michigan to pi ..read more

But my pride and love for this blog never goes away. I love writing and sharing with people one of the things I love most and feel really good at which is fashion and a little beauty. And with the pandemic, it’s been hard to focus on that lately but I ..read more
