Mural, Mural on the Wall

Mural, Mural on the Wall

Happy Friday everyone, I’ve always loved street art, graffiti, and murals because of their creative, inspiring and unrestricted ability to capture my attention.  It’s been refreshing to see a lot of cities embracing colorful streets and walls by artists from all walks of life who are able to tell stories and express themselves in such a unique way. To my surprise, my recent visit to the Gestamani neighborhood of Cartagena, Columbia topped all of the places I’ve ever traveled to for having such an abundance of diverse beautiful artistic expressions.  It was such a cool neighborhood.  I’ve decided share some of my favorite murals from the trip.  I wish every country was this colorful!     Photography by SherriaTravels, Sherria29_Photography, SherriaAroundTheWorld What I’m Wearing: // Cartagena Headwrap // Fanm Djanm // Pom-Pom Hoop Earrings // J.Crew // Off Shoulder Crop Top/Maxi Skirt // ShoeDazzle // Keira Flat Gladiator Sandals // ShoeDazzle   Love, The Ultimate...
Give Me My Flowers

Give Me My Flowers

“Give me my flowers while I can still smell them” is what first came to mind when I saw this beautiful floral mural.  I don’t know how long this quote has been around, it still holds true today.  We should always strive to show people how much they mean to us while we can. On another note, it’s my birthday month and I’m strutting into the next year just as happy as I can be! Getting older is such a privilege, and I never take that for granted.  This floral mural was perfect the perfect backdrop for this vintage style monochrome outfit.  I’ve always been a huge fan of black and white because it’s so eye-catching, classy and timeless.  Since some of these pieces are vintage, I’ve found some similar pieces to recreate this look.  I hope you enjoy this post darlings!  If you do, please leave me a comment letting me know how so. Until next time, Muah!

When Art Meets Fashion – Part 2 (The Enchanted Forest)

When Art Meets Fashion – Part 2 (The Enchanted Forest)

Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable holiday.  If you’ve been following me, you know a few weeks ago I had a photo session with Daniel J Studios and featured “When Art Meets Fashion – Part 1” on my blog.  I talked about how amazing the shoot was, and how important it is to have someone capture your work so that it’s presented correctly.  Today I’m happy to share Part 2 of the shoot, and I hope you will find it equally amazing!  This set reminded me of an enchanted forest, and what came to mind is how we sometimes miss the forest for the trees. A forest is full of beautiful trees for the beholding but when we get so engrossed in the individual trees, we can forget that each tree is merely one of thousands in the forest and lose sight of what really matters. Let’s not forget to take a deep breath, take a step back and evaluate the bigger picture in the grand scheme of things. The ability to not see the bigger picture from God’s point of view can cause us to be stressed, frustrated and unhappy.  Happy people have a larger perspective and see the big picture.  No matter what’s going on in our lives we must feel confident that God is working out a plan.

Royal Wedding Ready

Royal Wedding Ready

Happy Saturday everyone! Did you watch the Royal Wedding?  Since I wasn’t invited I decided to feature a look fit for attending such a historical event. A trend among royal family buffs in recent years is fascinators.  These little hats were popularized by the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, and are called fascinators because they actually attach to the head.  I’m a lover of hats and have many, but this whimsical fascinator by Giovannio Hats is one of my all time favorites.  I chose this chiffon polka dot white dress by Light In The Box because its unique appearance is sophisticated, classic, fun and modern at the same time.  This timeless print will never go out of style. If you watched the wedding what are your thoughts and who do you think was best dressed?  Have a great rest of the weekend and continue to be royal!   Photography by: Sharon Bui   What I’m Wearing: // Fascinator // Giovannio New York // ZIYI Women’s Chiffon Dress – Polka Dot Split Off Shoulder Dress // Light In The Box // Pearl Ankle Strap Heels // Akira (Sold out) Similar here   Love, The Ultimate Fashionista...
When Art Meets Fashion – Part 1

When Art Meets Fashion – Part 1

Greetings everyone, I hope your week is going well so far.  I launched my blog six years ago, and during my blogging career I’ve been blessed to work with some of the most amazing photographers.  My fashion styling and blogging business is my ministry, and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt God has connected me with these great talents who have truly brought out the best in me.  It’s one thing to style and blog, but if you don’t have the right eyes to present your work correctly you have nothing. A few weeks ago a shoot happened which was simply a work of art!  I had the absolute honor to work with Daniel Hadley of Daniel J Studios, based in Wilmington, NC.  Daniel is a fashion bloggers dream photographer!  For example, he listened to my desires and expectations for the shoot, found me the most AMAZING backdrops, had patience during the shoot and made it fun, and also directed me to pose in various ways that made me look fabulous.  He even hurt his leg during our shoot, and was so unbothered, but still finished the shoot like a BOSS! 🙂 The icing on cake was discovering Daniel is man of God and devout Christian who is using his God-given gifts to save money to build a church in Wilmington.  I love how Daniel honors the Lord in everything he does, and I pray for his business to continue to endure and be successful by God’s grace. Since there were so many beautiful photos from the shoot, I decided to do a blog in two parts. ...
