On Sunday I was given a gift from Grammy Nominated Singer and Songwriter Alvin Garrett.

I was given the gift of time travel.

I was listening to the release of his newest single ‘My Gift To You’ via a zoom meeting with media and industry professionals.

It was no longer 2020. It was the mid ’80s and I was a teenager, lying on my canopy bed, listening to my local R&B station on the radio.

Music was music then. The words meant something. There was meaning to each verse. And the voices were soothing.

I was brought back to the current year as conversations about the song began.

Described as ‘old school’ and ‘grown folks music’, we each took something away from his song.

“I don’t want this song to be about any certain holiday” Garret said.

“I want you to make every day a holiday. Celebrate every day. Grab your significant other and dance in the living room.”

Alvin Garrett is a down to earth, humble man with a heart of gold. He is passionate about the non profit The Dannon Project

A re entry program helping newly released prisoners ease back into society.

Yes, Alvin Garrett gives the gift of himself to everyone he meets.

Now I’m sharing this gift with you all.

I used to dislike logos on bags. But they’re starting to grow on me.

Not just on bags. But logos everywhere.

I was so happy when Michael Kors came out with face masks!

Their logo masks come in black/tan or black/white and also come in two sizes. If you’re average I’d go for the S/M.

I’ve fallen in love this Voyager Medium Logo Tote Bag in the brown logo pattern trimmed with this delicious bright red.

Add the coordinating Notebook to complete the smart, stylish look.

You can do logos tastefully. And Michael Kors can show you how!

This is the last of the blogs collaborating with model Dona Goodchild and photographer Careese Robinson.

This has been a fun series. I love seeing the clothing on our model and the pictures are way better than mine.

Dona chose this edgy, faux leather moto jacket in white.

She paired it with a flirty, black dress.

And completed the look with the popular Keke Leather Pump.

This model is amazing and she will be known worldwide soon so watch out for her. She will be the one traveling with the Logo Suitcase!

Model Dona Goodchild

Have you given the latest logo craze a go?

Model Dona Goodchild went for this Mini Logo Ciré Reversible Puffer Jacket.

Two looks in one! This jacket reverses to all brown for a more toned down look.

She also grabbed the Carine Extra Small Studded Pebbled Leather Crossbody Bag. The Army Green goes well with the brown of the jacket.

I added the Blaze Suede Open Toe Bootie in Olive.

The green coordinates nicely with the bag and gives the outfit an edgy feel.

If you’re wanting to get into the Logo trend but don’t want to fully commit, this jacket is the perfect piece.

When model Dona Goodchild donned this outfit at my Michael Kors shopping event, she looked like she stepped out of a movie with Humphrey Bogart!

This elegant, vintage vibe starts with the Packable Trench Coat in the color Dune.

The military style gives a classic, effortless look to this outfit.

The structure of the Nouveau HamiltonLarge Croc Embossed Leather Satchel keeps with the 40’s feel.

The Alane Leather and Python Embossed Open Toe Ankle Boot gives a modern touch to the otherwise vintage look.

Michael Kors can take you back to a simpler, more elegant time. Just like Bogie and Becall.

It’s FALL!! My favorite season!!

I love fall fashion and most importantly, Fall Shoes!

I’ve recently got three new pair of booties and I’m excited to style each of them!

My first pair is this fun Zebra print pair from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale a few months back.

This bootie from the brand Band of Gypsies caught my eye immediately and they were approved by my Bestie Ken!

Zebra Bootie

My next pair is from the Belk brand New Direction.

The Edie bootie in this gorgeous green snake print looks like a cross between a cowboy boot and a Chelsea Boot.

Edie Bootie

My latest pair from Michael Kors is the gorgeous Marcella Flex Bootie.

Snake print and glitter! They just scream “Designer Diva”!

Marcella Flex Bootie

I can’t wait to wear Fall outfits. And these booties will complete each one!

With the world opening up, ever so slowly, there’s more opportunities to get dressed up!

Dona Goodchild modeled this gorgeous Georgette Handkerchief Dress in Dark Ruby at my latest Michael Kors event.

It can be dressy casual or cocktail party ready!

She paired it with the Antonia Suede Sandal in Black.

This strappy stiletto is very flattering.

I would complete the look with the Grace Medium Patent Leather Envelope Clutch.

The silver trim matches the buckles on the shoes. It can also be carried as a more casual, crossbody.

With the holidays approaching, make sure you’re ready if a party invitation should happen to come your way!

This week’s blog is a little different. We have a real life model showing the outfit!

Local model Dona Goodchild, along with photographer Careese Robinson, came along with me for my Retail Therapy Fall Shopping Event at Michael Kors last weekend.

Dona was ready for Fall with this Floral Georgette Smock Dress.

The colors, along with the flirty layers, made for a beautiful base for this outfit.

She paired it with the Pamela Suede Ankle Boot in Birch. The block heel and pointed toe gave off a casual, edgy vibe.

We finished the look with my all time favorite bag, the Carmen Extra Small Saffiano Leather Shoulder Bag.

The Army Green color kept in line with the muted, neutral look of the outfit.

Let Michael Kors help you become the Prima ‘Dona’ you’re meant to be.
