I’m a sucker for a nice bustier and a wide leg pant. I’m actually surprised that I didn’t add a blazer with this look. Never the less, the fit of this look is what I love most. Everything is evenly tucked and tailored. This black well cut leather bustier gave me the perfect hourglass. What was even better about this look were the plaid tailored pants that came with a lower built - in corset. Talk about a bomb combo. I decided to add a pop of color and accessorize with my purple earrings. Hope you enjoy wearing this look to a successful 2023 meeting or networking conference.
Add Layers with me
What’s the Weather like in your city this fall? Is it snowing? Is it below 10 degrees?
Either way, now is the perfect time to bundle up but make it cute by adding as many layers as you’d like. In this instances I started off with a cozy turtleneck and balloon pants. As the temperature drops I added my super soft scarf and my fur trench coat. To add my final layer I paired my knitted beanie and decided to wear sneakers instead of boots for even more comfort when walking.
Hope you’re staying safe and fashionably warm this fall as well!
Happy Halloween: Part 2
This is the first time where I didn’t know where to start with a blog, because whew this Halloween costume was different.
I was indecisive between Harley Quinn or Ruby Rhod from Fifth Element. Since I already channeled Kylie Jenner Cosmetics costume I figured why not narrow it down to Harley Quinn.
This one was not only sexy but so much fun. This custom costume came with so many pieces to attach, from the bodysuit, to the gloves, to the thigh highs down to the head piece.
Did I nail this one too? Happy Halloween again: Part Two
Happy Halloween: Part 1
Honestly I took these photos for my 30th birthday this year. After taking them, I realized that this look was more of a costume so why not save them for Halloween 2022.
This shoot was inspired my Kylie Jenner 2020 Kylie Cosmetics launch. What caught my eye was the cheetah print glare across the face. However instead of doing cheetah print I decided to replicate the leopard print version.

God's Grace
Taking the time to dedicate this blog to Life. We all have those moments where we feel claustrophobic, distracted and unmotivated because life happens. It’s okay to take a step back to regroup and recuperate.
As many of you know Ivory is my favorite color because it symbolizes elegance, calmness and God’s Grace. This color was perfect for this blog during this moment in time. This beautiful simplistic feather sleeve dress fit perfect for a nice refreshing dinner night. The stomach key hole was definitely giving less is more.
I finalized this look with my silver diamond necklace, earrings and strappy white pumps. I was skeptical about the black mini bag, but black is always a safe color to turn to when in doubt.
Belated Baby ✨
I originally had plans to go to Napa Valley for my 31st birthday but I ended up getting an amazing call for work. No better way to spend my birthday weekend than styling my favorite muse, Angie Thomas.
However I still catered to my birthday by shooting in this beautiful crystal embellished gown. Pairing this gown with my silver lace up sandals and diamond earrings was super easy because it didn’t require much styling, especially when less is already more.
Beyond Blessed to see another year!
Ombré 🧡
The gradient hues, when done well, can create a polished look. Playing with light and dark already adds texture to your look, and makes you stand out due to the contrast. And the the best thing about it? You can “ombre” anything.
Wearing this dress to dinner on the beach in Punta Cana was the perfect statement piece. This endless beautiful crochet dress was also comfy and cute. I added my brown sandals and yellow bag to give a eye popping finish touch. The best part about this look was my simple accessories. Less is always more.
Punta Cana 🤎
Have you ever had a dinner night in Punta Cana? Yea.. me neither! Lol. However, Dinner in the sky was such an experience. The food, the music, the vibes and overall eating dinner in the actual sky was definitely top tier.
The weather here is really humid and hot so I actually wasn’t sure if wearing this long sleeve silk and sequin two piece set was a good idea. But fashion has no limits right!? While on vacation I was able to pair my black underwire swimsuit. This gave a seductive illusion. I was a little indecisive about the Chole bag and shoes because I’m not a huge fan of mixing prints. But after accessorizing with silver jewelry, I’m not mad at this look at all!
Cheers to the Dominican Republic!!!
Love Language 🍷
As I venture into my new investment, I was so happy to attend my first wine festival. This event was so much fun and also informative. As a beginner in this industry, I asked so many detailed questions. Red wine is my absolute favorite but I was really excited to soak up knowledge about the fermentation process of different Cabernets, Merlots and Pinot Noirs.
I had a feeling we were going to be doing a lot of walking and moving around so I had to find the perfect outfit. This event took place in June so the summer weather was perfect. Crochet has risen in popularity over recent years. My multi colored tan bralette has been such a trend lately, but it’s definitely made some waves among influencers like myself. Pairing this look with my denim side ripped jeans and a pair of comfy sandals created my outfit. However, the fact that I was able to accessorize with my woven bag and bucket hat made this look top tier.
Brunch'n 🍳
Have you ever had brunch at the Castaway in Burbank? If not, thank me later. This place is so beautiful, from the restaurant to the views to the service. The food was very delicious and the drinks were spot on. I came here to celebrate nothing but life and it was very memorable. I will definitely come again.
The interior and the greenery of the location unexpectedly matched my brunch outfit so well. I wanted to wear something that was appropriate, flowy, comfortable and also stylish for the perfect brunch. As you know I am a huge monochromatic fan and this rust-tan color skirt and halter top was everything. As the weather warms up for summer, your Sunday brunch outfit can easily transform to a light maxi dress or loosely structured two piece sets like mine. I was able to match my leopard print bag and mules for finishing touches, and instead of adding gold jewelry why not add silver.
The perfect summer statement!
Ambiance 💗🧡
First time in San Diego and it’s giving beautiful, warm, clean and relaxed ambiance vibes. The dinner night life is normally pretty fulfilling so with it being the summer time I decided to wear my high waisted hot pink stirrup pants. These pants were so comfy and fit perfectly. I paired it with my feathered crop top and purposely choose the color orange because those colors are such a cute combo. Lastly I couldn’t wait to wear my hot pink platform heels and earrings to add those final touches. This look was so much fun.
Love, Tam 💞
As you can see, Im definitely a homebody. But when its time to step outside I make sure I create memories. My brother invited me to this Black excellence day event called “Everyday People LA”. The weather was gloomy and temperature was expected to drop so I made sure I wore something chic yet cozy and comfy.
I’ve always wanted to wear the signature off the shoulder look but It had to be denim and denim only. Finally found this super cute stretchy distressed denim jacket and wide pant. I took the non-cropped denim jacket and only button the bottom, to give the “off the shoulder” elusion look. I paired this look with all hot pink accessories — Pink shoes, pink bag, pink sun-visor and even pink earrings. I’ll definitely be wearing this look again.
A Minimalist
You should know by now, I’m honestly a minimalist at heart. Grey, Black, white and creams have been my monochromatic lifesaver. They are the predominant colors. You'd think you'll get bored but I personally never get tired of these colors. It's all about knowing how to mix different textures.
The main texture in this look was my R13 sweater. I love how I was able to elevate this super distressed knitwear top. Paired it with my Relaxed straight leg faux-leather pants. You can never go wrong with a flare silhouette and easy stretch for comfort. I even decided to keep things simple by adding my gold jewelry, tan crossbody bag and black platform pumps.
My final touches were my cat eye nylon frames. It definitely made this look a classic for any Saturday brunch!
Planet B
After styling 4 clients for the 2022 Black Brilliance Brunch, I’m honestly not even sure how I found the time or energy to style myself…. But I did!
Special thank you to Basic Public Relations for allowing me to wear this Beautiful gown provided by House of MUA MUA. The light yellow fading into the baby blue was so unique and transparent to me. The eccentric gradient sequin dress also gives the statement “WE DO NOT HAVE PLANET B”. I also had the pleasure of wearing a bold exceptional yellow hood and coat Provided by Rafinad.
Finalize my look with a mini black, Brandon Blackwood bag and a black pump. I’m happy I was able to pull this look off.
Big Bear 🐻 🏂
The month of February was extremely overwhelming, intense and busy. Need less to say this much needed mini get away was needed. Although I am very much so blessed to have been booked and busy, I forgot all about my mental and physical health.
Decided to take self care trip away to Big Bear Lake to go snowboarding, tubing, and relax around a nice bonfire with food, and drinks!!
For the snowboard adventure I decided to wear this blue metallic fur snowsuit. It paired perfect with my reflective snow goggles and snow boots.
Such a bomb experience!
TMC For Farfetch
Major Blog Moment for TamalaClarice!
I am very honored to be featured in Farfetch’s Black History article for Black Creatives. As many of you know Farfetch is a British-Portuguese online luxury fashion platform. Farfetch headquarters are in London and own by CEO, Jose Neves. FARFETCH exists for the love of fashion. We believe in empowering individuality.
For this look I decided to make a statement and wear the color green. Green symbolizes growth, renewal and new beginnings. This peaceful color also came in faux leather which made it even more durable. I was able to match my leather straight leg pants with a halter green body suit. This look came out to be so clean cut, sexy yet professional tagging along my all black blazer. When finalizing my accessories I paired my stylish cat eyewear frames.

Los Angeles is not Sunny LA at the moment. It’s freezing cold here! Not only that, the weather changed on the same day I was scheduled to attend the Drake and Kanye tour which means my outfit choice had to also change.
Im always trying to figure out how to be alluring, chic, and dope at the same time. I’ve been holding on to this tan jumpsuit and Moncler sneakers for almost a year now. What a perfect time to wear it! Everyone knows Telfar bags are the hardest to collect so finally mines arrived and I was able to pair it with my dope fedora hat. This hat came in handy because the temperature kept dropping all night. My final touches were my chocolate crop puffer coat and cozy ankle socks.
I couldn’t have been more comfortable! Definitely wearing this look again!
Pressed on Preston
Wearing heels will always be a eye catcher but Dressing comfy is always a winner. You’re able to breathe, bend over, reach up and move around while being so dope.
I hopped on this all-neutral-chic outfit immediately because it features sweat pants as the chicest part of the entire outfit. An outfit as dressed down as this can be made that much more chic when you get monochromatic with the colors, right? In today’s case, I’m weaving light beiges and neutrals together (transitional colors from summer to fall) and making a normally cozy outfit
The orange accents really brought the final touches to my oversize t-shirt and my sneakers. Since my sneakers had multiple shades of funs colors in them I paired my black crossbody bag along with it.

Fact fun: My first blog was February 22, 2017 in Jackson, MS. Humble beginnings!
Living in Los Angeles gave me a reason to elevate my blogs but tonight In Jackson, I decided to put on for my city.
To be completely transparent, I will admit I never really felt it was necessary to go all out with a fancy outfit because it was know where to go besides a repetitive lounge, bar or club so I would downplay my looks. But as I got older, I learned to appreciate the smalls things. Who am I to judge?! Why not pave a way for fashion? Why not motivate others to in Jackson to feel comfortable and confident to wear whatever is it they choose to?
Tonight I decided to pop out wearing this elastic Marine Serre two piece set. This popular designer was perfect for an after five occasion. Due to the amazing neutral prints, I paired this look with my Bottega bag and sandals. Accessorized with a couple of Cuban links and we outside. Like I said …. put on for my city!
Tulum Dump - Part 1
Don’t we all want to be comfy and cute while on vacation. Lately the neutral colors have been catching my eye for quite some time now and its always a safe route in my opinion. Brown, taupe, tan and cream are the ultimate to-go combos at this moment in time.
Went for a nice bike ride and ended up at the beach afterwards. Wore my brown joggers, biker shorts and crop top and underneath I added my white swimsuit for an easy take off. Simple and easy. The neutral Yeezy slides matched perfect with this entire outfit.
I’ll definitely be wearing this again.
