What prompted you to start your blog?
When I moved to Atlanta from Milwaukee; leaving my family and friends behind, I started a monthly newsletter. The newsletter documented everything going on with my daughter and I in a new city. It was well received. It was also time consuming and pricey.  Around 2008 is when I discovered 'blogs'. There were lifestyle blogs, photography blogs, fashion blogs and so much more. In late 2009 I decided to start my own blog. What started off as more of a lifestyle blog...somehow turned into a fashion blog. It became a hobby.

Corie's daughter Asiah blogs too! Check out her blog Black Pearls here.

What are your fashion must haves?

Since we're in Fall, I would have to say you can't go wrong with having a cozy pullover sweater; I'm in love with all of the sweaters at Old Navy right now. Also, midi skirts are what's in; I purchased quite a few that I haven't worn just yet, but you'll be seeing them very soon. Let's not forget tights; I stocked up on these. I have just about every color and texture you can think of, can't wait to pair them with something awesome. Overall...a LBD is a must have, along with a black blazer (definitely a key item in my wardrobe), and a classic trench coat.

How would you describe your style?

I tend to wear what I like....or what fits my mood, regardless of whether it suits my usual aesthetic. I like comfortable, feminine, stylish, and fresh pieces. Comfy is my motto. If I don't feel comfortable in it, I'm not wearing it.

 

What's the one thing you enjoy most about being a blogger?

It's challenging, it's stimulating, and fun. I've met some awesome people in the blogosphere. I've joined some wonderful communities, and can honestly say that I really enjoy the creativity they foster. I've get so much inspiration from bloggers everywhere....I only wish I'd started blogging sooner.

Aren't they both gorgeous?! Thanks again Corie for being a part of Chic Friend Fridays! You're sure to be inspired by Corie and her beautiful daughter Asiah who is a pretty amazing model by the way.
