Watermelon.

by Jamila Pierre

If you build it, it will come.

This has been my mantra over the past couple of weeks. I've decided to apply it to the weather, even though I have no control over this retched weather I figured if I built spring in my posts, spring would magically appear in actuality. 

I am too over this snow right now, and am seconds away from having a little sit down with mother nature and her bipolar/ skitzo ass.

This weather is the pits! 

Now, what says warm weather more than watermelon...? Nothing!

It's funny because I purchased these ombre pantaloons more than a year ago, and had no idea how I wanted to wear them, until this emerald top came waltzing into my life.

I just knew at that point, I wanted to be a walking watermelon, and there wasn't jack anyone could say or do about it.

I am in love with these pant!

They are so wrong but right it's ridiculous and so very very me.

I also copped these shoes many moons ago not knowing when they'd make their debut, needless to say they're perfect for this fit right now.

Floral Print.

by Jamila Pierre

Floral year around is my philosophy!

I am a serious (heart attack serious) fan of floral prints, I welcome it into my life with open arms and a warm smile.

I know that the print can veer on the side of matronly, which is why I put extra effort into finding floral prints that have just a bit more sparkle to it. 

And thanks to how good last years Black Friday was to me, I was able to acquire this beautifully well made, satin, floral-printed blazer, for an equally beautiful price.

Let's also take a moment to appreciate the cut of this blazer, it flatters just about every shape there is, it even gives a shape to a body that isn't exactly curvy in the waist.

This blazer, as all my Statement Blazers, brings about warm and fuzzy feelings, and though you may not see it...or hear it, my heart is in fact singing.
