I attended a networking event on Tuesday night hosted by my good friend Brandon who is the CEO and Owner of Self-Made Magazine. Self- made magazine is a publication that focuses on the achievements and innovations of young black Americans, pioneering in Fashion, Art, Music & Business. Unwind at Nine brought together artists, designers, poets, photographers and bloggers based in Baltimore, Maryland.  

Meeting people who are driven and passionate about their work is a wonderful experience. A few collaborations might be in the horizon. Keep your eyes peeled.

For my outfit, I paired a floral crop top with a grey A-line skirt from Zara, then accessorized with strappy high-heeled sandals and a bright ht orange bag for that extra pop of color.

I never thought I could get this close to a wolf. He looks like we wants to snatch my hand!!!  On a serious note... that is a beautiful work of art.

I think I look more frightening than the wolf. This is what happens when you talk loudly while pictures are being taken. lol

For every piece of jewelry, there is a story. I like to call them conversation starters, it might be a cocktail ring from a dear friend, a bib necklace from an impulse buy that was so worth it, a pendant from a loving parent, a vintage pearl necklace that was left to you by a relative, the ruby earrings that stuck out while you were perusing the jewelry counter. There’s always a story.

So next time you put on a piece of jewelry, go loud, go bold, and have an amazing story to tell.

Thanks for stopping by.
