At this point, I felt like time was passing so quickly. I wanted to make it my priority to slow down, relax, and enjoy the last few months of pregnancy.

As always, for the last few years, I have just been living life. I’m finding myself more offline than I’ve ever been since I started this site 10 years ago. Styled Chic will always be apart of me and when I am inspired to post I will and when I decide to prioritize my real life, I will do that as well ☺️.

Although I had just transferred into the Fashion Merchandising program at my university, I was finding myself becoming increasingly frustrated in what was supposed to be my dream major. Most of the core classes of the program were offered on campus, in the middle of the day.

Read MoreI welcomed the new year with some much needed time off. I’m sure many of you can agree that it’s always refreshing to begin the calendar year a little more organized in our thoughts, plans, and surroundings. As always, I’ve been pulling out my favorite seasonal items and adding new finds to my closet. With spending time indoors and working remotely, I still find that I’m motivated enough to style myself for my home office or video calls.

Read MoreThis holiday season looks so different for each and every one of us this season.

Below I’ve listed my top 5 black local organizations that I’ll be donating to and I encourage you to do the same.
