I had a very good friend named Betty Golden that I met 20 years ago in church. She was fabulous and kind, but what attracted me was she didn’t conform to the aging process. Betty was in her sixties and I was in my late thirties. We had become great friends. I admired her kindness and she accepted all people and displayed the love of Christ. She was stylish and loved to wear leather and leopard, which most so called church people judged rather than her earnest prayers that were so powerful! Her had friends came from all walks of life and most of her tribe consisted of woman under fifty. Her 87th birthday would have been on 4/22. I salute an honor her as a person of elegance and the path she so graciously walked. Finding your tribe is so important because these people get you and will sow good thoughts in your life and support you!<div><br></div><div><img id="id_3c22_d1d_c56a_d0e5" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_6TFv1Ds_rIJ22VXfdGUXAlXz6ouAZJ5PRkR72Bds8ePVK_2tb7LWRdoXog" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_37bd_18f4_43f5_9f84" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/zcbh7XUUlw-4oOCIiuepIc4m2kXYunK4jrBbxR6AMst97f6XGG_3ORk3mNU" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_e486_bc0c_759_b212" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/uVqC4jWchzxQl3qNNdTgDlK_heulAGMtKUoVjnExxEJ4wSu1YW3Mr_sD9_U" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><br>Happy Birthday Betty Golden and thank you for being more to me than a friend, but a great role model!</div>2chicdesignshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16625233558147920929noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8122758410715156626.post-74334121310147920962019-01-01T18:58:00.001-05:002019-01-02T12:18:54.152-05:00Happy New Year 2019 GiveawayHappy New Year 2019 and to get this year poppin I’m giving away my mini tote bag.

I am anticipating the cooler days ahead, so that I can wear my favorite sweaters and wraps. Today the weather is cloudy with a touch of muggy and I can’t figure out what to wear and look chic. I decided to wear a black and white leopard skirt I designed with this transitional light weight long knit jacket. I know you have seen similar skirts of various influencers since animal print is trending, so I had this fabric and viola. I popped it with my new design a yellow leather embossed crocodile clutch bag, seen here <div><br><div><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/642870377/yellow-leather-fold-over-clutch-bag?ref=shop_home_active_1" id="id_9267_d454_d695_534e">https://www.etsy.com/listing/642870377/yellow-leather-fold-over-clutch-bag?ref=shop_home_active_1</a><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_683_1e18_9f98_9afb" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIeEJ-6IyPgVSDGsAb_trqNYNIpN0DHsIMJj8gdHAah6lTbd0XdBeWpmitvnhpS0YdJKCMxqCQpdSrx-tBFmec4bDdU9wWMRmPJCgj5c4JZ9opHoedKRcWXQOh8F5VfSSuy9LJMbyVC18/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><br><br><img id="id_fa9b_163_76d4_ed34" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg56u14zLIXuL-bBDvJSDwwJxYFQbL8JA8cZbCyhA_DAhs2QdtVsWqO_V2_9IJ9Ks2jjC0BIRMMwyaSbZtzMkpUL5L8O45mYIgyCRiJgnnU4woSXHlSrapQPo1fQRuLTwoI27xHAnOETbo/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><br><img id="id_1735_881b_bc5a_7a7" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimGm1tsGpXJOC03bASjpVcV670GjKm5dXO1c4f9wqUUErtlZGZ3Utp52w5x_eJIc4SAgyvO9dkXQ9TWwpmDABRdA-vdEiTfx11zYaA2HSFsRTg-T35Y6uEKCfhqAyTH4F83FuVj9jlETY/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_1da1_82b2_99ca_5360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp-Te-7QEt7vfiQfvYdsiCNtr3OKU0heRFAhMJBuCKZQbJA-sF5PnX8oh5li9bcHS63zStjNeT1JwClViZG6l-3Bo_AauyfkFI5zHA6mVGMQo7jgJVxQX-096f0VD_cpkmXZ-pq2__gC8/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div>2chicdesignshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16625233558147920929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8122758410715156626.post-26913035922814748212018-05-06T18:34:00.001-04:002018-05-07T11:51:04.567-04:00Monologues In MayMonologues in May takes place on the first Saturday in May. Fabulous women from all backgrounds come together to support, encourage, and express our extraordinary life journey’s<br />
through scripture, poems, or events that have transformed our lives. The brain child behind this is Lisa Morton who is a sister friend of mine who graciously host this event in her beautiful home. It is a safe and loving place where we can share some things. From the moment each women arrived I was greeted with loveliness and sincerity. I felt so welcomed and honored to be a part of this sisterhood!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am encouraging each women to support other women. Be kind to one another and if one has we all have. Lets create a sisterhood that is so incredible that we all win!<br />

I recently had an event that happened between me and someone that I dearly love. The situation could have over powered me to make choices of dwelling in darkness and negativity. Instead, I decided to examine my heart, to see why my feelings were rustled. Sometimes I look to the word of God, to gain understanding. Once I received understanding regarding my issue, light began to flood my heart with forgiveness. I forgave myself first, and I am in the process of forgiving the individual. I decided to walk in the light and to allow negativity to dominate my mind and heart.<br />

I remember my sister and I had slicker raincoats. We adored them, I think mine was yellow and hers was blue. We wore those coats everyday for about a month. We even had bucket rain hats that tyed at the neck. We were as cute as the Morton Salt girl, and we knew it! <div>I love this blue metallic slicker which I picked on on sale at urban outfitters. It was love at first site, and reminded me of my childhood walking and splashing in the rain. Who says you can’t look stylish and chic on a rainy day!

I was there celebrating my besties #theeageofgrace five year blogaversary. This was my third time visiting BG and I got to tell you the customer service is impeccable. Everyone is treated like a valued customer. The sales people go out of their way to treat you as a guest, because you can’t judge a book by its cover. <div><br><div>I got a chance to visit the Linda Fargos shop who is the senior<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> vice president of the fashion office and the director of womans fashion </span>and director of presentation.

She even provided me with these heart shaped sunnies. The coat was amazing it was calf hair leopard print with a beautiful fox collar...just my style. When I asked about the price she responded fourteen. In my head I knew this coat was mine and I was going to purchase it today. The coat was a little tight and I was assured that they could order my size. Magically the tailor appeared and took my measurements. It was his precision in measurements that my ah ha moment manifested itself, because this was more than the fourteen that I interpreted fourteen hundred in my head, than the quote she gave me. The two did not jive with this amazing experience that was going on. I asked her again the price - fourteen she quoted what I didn’t realize that was BG talk for fourteen thousand. Luxury doesn’t have a price tag! Well I graciously slipped the coat off with no judgement from the tailor or the lovely sales associate. </div><div>I was so inspired that I decided to look for a vintage leopard coat and I do have a fox collar! </div><div>I aspire to one day purchase a beautiful coat of my dreams from BG!</div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_f8f4_2e98_c969_fe8a" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKVHFo2fQZMHAE1YsmoDG6V7x7uRrTxJfcmOGwlNiAB1-NEupFf78ClaUFMKAmtsZYYWk9UIgNldGAcR3vhK79jE4r4e7xYXkOj0GJrSFNJgOzwxT6kmlDdixfv3wvcDZVy1Dd9P72JUg/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_d52a_3b94_941f_2377" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtTjDjaKVTVspOTm9Gs4Jb87wo5SZ6fw4XRdoQtR-tUFdRC6v_6M78-63IIj-_bReUu3CCEzJQkwEPZCkneDkR4FdlbYgSOYUZQ_m3KtKv01MkB7SRvWlS_1rOklhVnhKaWsd5cQW1JR8/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_a931_aded_e651_e421" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhISzyCbwUZ1AfbAaRhwrjtLK2BNOi_YORAAIj07pCx68MkVuSjKCg-lBgkLOW8XvMnCEguW1ltta_bK2AlUJfyYy57mNQuRF1X2FVN9NzgRxd6g7f8Ra3PwS4BExkLJuop0pJ16Na5Lkk/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br></div></div>2chicdesignshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16625233558147920929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8122758410715156626.post-21899418996533302982018-01-06T16:23:00.001-05:002018-01-06T16:46:57.816-05:00Vintage Dressing and Betsy Johnson<div><img id="id_63a1_28b5_e49d_3034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ-xvVxych1sBmxrpQk-QOE4ADMDtgfO4bH4s7f5SJFDEgKrZMexYHLADauWjvV8soLqTaruLHpxRj9Z_qH2qoQnwYQ0yx5zjmBBhPr-HMfS7zB_RYkNIyWtySCCDFxRRz9QNoedlU61A/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><br><img id="id_1cbd_9498_5175_440e" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAX4FS6C-cFMDnU68lqk6HAtPaQ4YZ4R0cHpq_puEdu415rlXBNkWtQZmc5tzGzfKzjwJ8wBxcbFuEcroBqJJw2KIQ2yA8kris8Emvm2vaqU9V5aOOzX3_6yZvpOgGfpt_7TnTFOS3eqg/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br></div><div><br></div>Can you remember your first over the top purchase of something that was so spectacular, that you had to have it!

I got to tell you, it was a difficult challenge for me because my preference like many of you, we love our little black dress. It makes us feel sexy, sleek, and chic. The dresses that I perused online were very matronly, unforgiving in slenderizing me, and I'm just going to say it I felt like a church deaconess!<br>
<div>
<div>
<br>
<div>
So, I did what any fashionista, project runway wannabe would do, I created one! I found a New Look #6926 pattern in my stash because I liked the shape. I altered the pattern by not using the darts because my fabric is a medium weight knit and I felt the structure would hang well on my frame. I altered the sleeves and made a bell template from a top that I had and in the back of my closet. I like the trend of the bell sleeve and wanted to incorporate and Zhush the dress up. My accessories included a pair of black suede strappy sandals from Sam Edelman with two options of clutch evening bags that I designed. The black statement clutch bag is a <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">beautiful black snakeskin embossed denim with mud cloth design which is the crown jewel. My inspiration for this design was the African Juju hats worn by the royal dancers of the Bamileke tribes. The pink bag gives that pop of color that can enhance any dress and viola!</span></div>

</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Last week a dear friend of my families Mother loss her Battle to cancer. I remembered when my Mother passed away about 25yrs ago. The thing I remembered so clearly when I saw her lying in the casket was her hair. It was the only thing that seemed real and alive. Although her life force was absent from the her hair was so alive. I wished I could have cut a piece of it to remember her and kept it treasured, along my life's journey.<br />
I shared this story with the family because I was inspired by the beautiful Home Going announcement of their Mothers departure. It was absolutely beautiful and uplifting. I wanted to create something that would be memorable and create a keepsake for this dear family. I remembered I had a beautiful piece of fabric with cherry blossoms similar to the ones on the announcement card. I designed a small clutch bag that could hold memories of their mother that they could carry with them to the funeral and burial services. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
I call them legacy bags that can hold small memories to cherish during that day. </div>

We strolled along 125th St. where we ate brunch at a charming French restaurant called Cheri located at 231 Lenox Ave Harlem, NY. You must dine there great organic food, beautiful atmosphere, and amazing service.<br />
Okay, let's get to the details of this visit, I was contacted by the Brooklyn Museum back in February they saw my bags and wanted to order the African Print series to place in their gift shop. The order was placed and my bags and key fobs were on their way to the Brooklyn Museum Gift Shop.<br />
The trip was the perfect timing to see my 2chicdesigns. We had a fun time taking the number 6 long, hot, train ride from 125th street to Brooklyn to finally see my dream come true!<br />

Upon arrival when I walked into the museums gift shop I felt a gush of excitement rise up inside of me and I was overwhelmed with joy! From the merchandising of my key fobs to the beautiful placement of my bags, it was quite emotional for me. While I was taking everything in, these two beautiful Queens in the picture above were modeling my bags, and they made my day!<br />
<br />
This experience made me realize every dream counts, if you have a vision execute it! My talent is creating and manipulating designs into works of art via handbags. I thank God for his grace and love for me, my family and friends that have encouraged me, and most of all my amazing customers that support my work!</div>

I am so sad, but I was able to make one last purchase of some amazing fabric that would be perfect for my handbag line.<br />
<br />
<div>
When I spotted the geometric orange and white pattern it spoke to me, and I began to visualize an array of several bag styles. The print reminds me of a seventies show called the Mod Squad.<br />
<br />
I love this print because it's fun and the color is warm. Most of my clothes are black because its easy and has a slimming element. I am challenging myself this year to experiment with more vibrant colors. This bold orange geometric pattern has inspired me to try wearing orange.<br />
<br />
I spotted this amazing dress online at Zara's for about $25. I thought it would be perfect to wear on a hot summer day. I love the high low flounce because it appeals to my sassy, crazy, and sexy style. The orange geometric clutch, and the other clutch bag is a blue batik print.<br />
<br />
I am excited to share the versatility of this dress with two looks. Which one do you like?<br />

The history of hats began with Col. Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr. the founder of he Kentucky Derby.<br />
The racetrack was a place of ill repute that attracted gambling and drinking. It wasn't a place for woman or children.<br />
Meriwether was inspired by trips to London's Epsom Derby and Paris Grand Prix which are posh events and attracted an elegant crowd.<br />
In 1879 Clark began to transform racetracks in America that attracted one class of people to a more classy and elegant elite group. With the help of his wife they sought out to promote throughout Louisville, Ky. To convince his target clientele that the new racetrack was a place for the upper class.<br />
The loaded up a wagon of society influencers to get the word out to encourage picnics, beautiful carriages and high fashions began to transform the Kentucky Derby to a place of elegance.woman coordinated beautiful plumed couture milliners and exquisite dresses and shoes, created a media fashion frenzy. Thus the elegance of the Kentucky Derby was born.<br />

I remember the first dashiki i made for my son, it was blue. The colors and print were bold and beautiful, but very masculine. I wanted to wear one, but I'm a girly girl.<br />
<br />

<br />
The dashiki originated in various West African countries bearing different cultural necessities. The name dashiki is derived from the Hausa word 'dan kick, which means shirt. The dashiki is a colorful garment worn by men. It became popular in America during the Civil Rights and Black Power Movement.<br />

I believed that the print was masculine and I was never going to wear one, until I spotted this beauty<br />
in one of my favorite stores Ross. It was hidden in the back rack, where I never look. Yes, this beauty was tucked away and forgotten. There was also a vast array of caftans that reminded me of Trina Turk. This beautiful green dashiki print long dress is made of jersey and fits in all the right places. When I tried it on I felt like Pam Grier in Foxy Brown, Empowered!<br />

I love wearing it with a military jacket, since it has been very cool in this part of the country.<br />
There are so many options and I can't wait to rock this dress all spring and summer Long!<br />

The museum is very impressive it covers the journey of slavery up until now. I remembered as a young girl what it meant to fight for equal opportunities and in my household my parents were advocates of education. It was important that my sisters and I received equal treatment, which meant we were going to college.<br />
I remembered being integrated into a predominantly white school, that was composed of a large Jewish student body. I was treated equal and never experienced racism in the school I attended.<br />
What brought back memories to me was Martin Luther King and how my church family would pray and fast for breakthroughs and the rights that white Americans enjoyed, that we blacks would have the same freedoms. Also seeing the hate crimes of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham Alabama was very emotional for me as a child, and even and adult.<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Black and White dressing can be a practical addition to </span><span style="font-family: "verdana";">any wardrobe. I love packing black and white pieces especially when traveling, it makes my life nice and easy and I can mix and match pieces.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Me and my fabulous fierce 50 partner Julie Harbour from www.styleparadox wanted to keep the fierce 50 momentum going. We wanted to showcase our looks and share them on our blogs. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Julie is wearing a white cold shoulder blouse which is on trend. Pairing it with an amazing georgette maxi skirt with a bold white stripe is definitely a statement entrance...twirl because you are gone with the wind fabulous!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">My ensemble is a stripe two tone stripe dress. You know I look love stripes. I picked this little number up from Ross for about $15.00. I wasn't quite sure whether I liked it, until I paired it with this fabulous long vest, that's giving me pure drama! I think the black and white shoes makes a statement. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Yes ladies we are doing it fierce 50 style. Fashion industry take note. We are changing how woman are perceived and Julie and I are definely making a fierce statement!</span></div>
