Is Detroit coming back? Totally!!! I probably should have bought a house there when it was only a few thousand dollars. Lol, oh well. I guess I am not so good at investing. Is Detroit a fashion city? Of course! You may not know this, but there are many Nationally Recognized Fashion Designers from Detroit! John Varvatos, Tracy Reese, Kevan Hall and Anna Sui are just a few on the list. I just know there will be more and more nationally and internationally recognized fashion designers because of this excellent school—College for Creative Studies. Last week I was invited to attend its first ever Fashion Accessories Design International Fashion Symposium…

I often get asked questions like, “How long have you been doing this blogging/social media gig? Have you ever felt like you are a lone soldier?” To be completely honest my first year I thought I was the only blogger in this whole state of Michigan. Lol! Of course, later I found out there are so many other fellow bloggers here but I just haven’t quite gotten into the circle. People often claim they can’t reach their goals or dreams because of the lack of resources around them. What I have learned that it is not about the resources, it is all about if you are resourceful or not. So…

When I go shopping, I want go to a store that has a bigger vision than just making money. I want to go to a place that has a soul; that really cares about the customer and knows how to have fun. A.K. Rikk’s is the rare business that has all the right personality traits! If you asked me about A.K. Rikk’s two weeks ago, my reaction probably would have been “Who? What?” Lol! In just a short amount of time, however, they have made me one of their biggest fans. A.K. Rikk’s is an upscale boutique located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. A.K. Rikk’s is set in a sleek, modern…

This past Tuesday, I was invited by Fuji film to see TAYLOR SWIFT ‘s Reputation Stadium Tour Concert at Ford Field in downtown Detroit. I know some of her songs but not a super fan of her. But it changed after this concert. Lol! Anyway, I always like to have some fun, so I dressed up like her. Can you tell what year it was from? Will tell you at end of this post. Lol. I received this super cute FUJIFILM Instax SQ6 Instant camera. I had so much fun taking photos with it. They had fun booths set up at the stadium to get your own pics taken too!…

I love customized products that work for my lifestyle, catering to fit in with all my needs. I have a few customized products but, by far, this tiger bag from Beau Satchelle is one of my favorites! You know that cool feeling you get when you carry a perfectly designed bag? One that looks good on you and no one else has it… as if it’s made for you? LOL! Every single time when I use this tiger bag, I receive so many compliments. It was quite interesting when I took this bag to the Chanel store in Paris, and all the salespeople had to touch it. They asked all kinds…
