Some days call for sneakers, coffee, and deep breaths.
Other days? A little black dress does all the talking.

The LBD is that one timeless piece that never asks questions. It shows up for you, whether you’re running on three hours of sleep, juggling a million things, or stepping into a night where you want to feel confident, feminine, and just a little bit dangerous (in the best way 😉). It’s simple, powerful, and effortlessly sexy without trying too hard.

Lately, life has been busy busy. The good kind of busy, the kind that stretches your heart, fills your calendar, and reminds you why you started in the first place. Between work, creativity, motherhood, and building dreams, I’ve been moving fast. But every once in a while, slipping into a little black dress feels like hitting pause and saying:

Yes, I’m tired, but I’m still her.

And speaking of busy… let me tell you why my heart has been so full lately 🖤

In the middle of all this grown-woman energy, something incredibly sweet happened.

Matthew officially released his children’s book, The Boy & The Mouse: A Journey of Friendship and Fun and I couldn’t be prouder. Watching my child put imagination to paper, turn creativity into a real book, and share it with the world has been one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.

So yes… I’ve been busy styling outfits and chasing dreams. Building, creating, and showing up. Supporting my son as he becomes an author. 

From the little black dress that reminds me who I am, to the children’s book that reminds me why I do it all, this season is about balance. Soft and strong. Sweet and sexy. Motherhood and ambition living in the same room.

Thank you for being here, for supporting, and for cheering us on. 

Now excuse me while I hang up the LBD… and help Matthew plan his next adventure. 🖤📚

Busy, blessed, and just getting started. Merry Christmas!! @uptown_with_mickaa
