This past month, I had the pleasure of being a blogger affiliate for the 3rd Annual African Fashion Week Houston! Being a blogger that creates content for both travel and style, I was extremely flattered that the African Fashion Week Houston (AFWH) Committee selected me to be a part of their amazing fashion showcase and runway show. Prior to attending, I honestly did not know very much about native African clothing. I knew African fashion was colorful, beautiful, and incorporated a lot of print, ...
Dreaming in Fields- Fall Inspired Look
It's been a hot minute since my last shoot with Irene (AKA @vi_serenee from Instagram)- Houston's portrait photographer extraordinaire! So, we decided to collaborate on a Fall shoot with a dreamy scenery in nature. Irene really took this shoot to a whole new level when I met up with her at a suburb park. I instantly felt inspired by the yellow flower fields, the tall trees, the beautiful dock that made me feel like I was in a Nick Sparks movie, and how Irene brought these images to life. You can ...

Galveston, TX: Staycation Fun
Just because we reached the fall season doesn't mean the heat in Texas has worn off! If you ever desired to live in an area where it's summer time 24/7, then Galveston is where you want to be. From the nice sand, tropical trees, and friendly people, Galveston has all the perks of being a beach city.

Galveston is just an hour away from Houston, ...
