When you’re fresh out of jail, but gotta throw on some layers to make is fashion 😉 I love this orange construction suit from @asos . I never wear silhouettes like this and it makes me feel so fierce. 🤗 I had such a rough emotional start to my morning, arriving to a shoot sleep deprived and unsure if I’d be able to deliver. I kinda felt like my body was working but my face wasn’t lol. I did the best I could and I hope to Jesus the shots were great. 😬 #mood #ootd #mompreneur #modelmom #orangeisthenewblack #color #style #essence @essence #momstyle #momswithstyle @instylemagazine #styleblogger #mommyblogger #instafashion #asos #sunday #momlife #nycstyle #dopemom #streetstyle #nycstreetstyle #glamour #mohawk #cutlife #kicksoftheday 📸 @mikaela.pabon (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B87KcgtB8wx/?igshid=1uxhcmdu73ce3

Saturday Vibes I’ve had this @urbanoutfitters wool tuxedo coat for many years and I’ve only worn it maybe 4 times max 🤦🏾‍♀️. But, I saw a look on the @csiriano Fall/Winter runway that inspired me to pair it with this sheer pleated skirt. Head over to my stories to see the look that inspired my Saturday Mom Street Style. #motherhood #momswithstyle #mhwmagazine #momlife #nycmom #styleblogger #momstyle #love #fashion #highfashion #nycstyle #nyc #momsoftwo #mommyblogger #momblogger #saturday #streetstyle #instafashion #blackmoms #blackmomsblog #essence @essence #nycstreetstyle #mohawk #cutlife✂️ #blackhair #runway (at Lower East Side) https://www.instagram.com/p/B84jwKMhodI/?igshid=1tc65nuevyef8

Lately I have just been feeling like I’m all over the place. Really considering taking some time to regroup and recharge. I just realized a few days ago, that I have never spent more than a few hours away from my son since he was born. That’s two WHOLE years with a person attached to me all day everyday. 😔 I totally think a staycation or girl’s night is in the cards for me. Who’s with me? 🙋🏾‍♀️ #thursday #motherhood #momoftwo #mhwmagazine #momlife #blackmoms #mommyblogger #photography #fashion #highfashion #editorial #blackmomskillingit #style #nycstyle #mompreneur #styleblog #styleblogger #hairgoals #breastfeedingmom #momswithstyle #momstyle #momstyleblogger #color #instafashion #blackgirlmagic #blackmomsdaily (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8yq0HgBf9v/?igshid=1cfxn6vbswkbn

Teething I adore this little girl so much, but Lord has she been putting me through hell with this new teeth business and I’m so sleepy😩 That’s it. My whole mood for today lol. Side note: Notice her face in this pic? That’s the shade I was talking about 😂. But, I made her a fascinator hat like the one I’m wearing, just in headband form. She refused to wear it, so 😏 #momlife #motherhood #mhwmagazine #momoftwo #makeitfashion #essencefashionhouse #blackmomsblog #styleblogger #momswithstyle #love #girlmom #blackgirlmagic #prints #instafashion #wednesday #garciagirls #nycstyle #fashion #blackmomskillingit #blackmomsdaily #mommyblogger #nycmom #goodmorning #breastfeedingmom #model #designermom #mompreneur (at Union West Events) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8wANRRhk0m/?igshid=e33y3bu8fbdw

Transformation Tuesday- @mikaela.pabon #dijstylechallenge I was gifted this white shirt dress by @eyegeeohdee and he said he couldn’t wait to see what I did with it. I was too pumped because not only is it a dope dress but buttons=easy breastfeeding access 🤗So, here are 5 ways I styled this shirt dress. Look 1- Over a sequin skirt and under a black lace bra. 📸 @mikaela.pabon 2. With a belted swing coat. 📸 @mikaela.pabon 3. Over jeans with a printed fur. 4. By itself with a knee high boot and waist coat. 📸 @photo.by.nani 5. Underneath my @shoplayton dress with an over the knee boot. #mood #motherhood #style #fashion #styleblog #styleblogger #breastfeedingmom #instafashion #momswithstyle #blackmom #mommyblogger #momstyle #nycstreetstyle #streetstyle #nycstyle #mhwmagazine #glamour #blackmomskillingit #blackmomsdaily #blackgirlmagic #blackmomsbreastfeed #momswhoblog (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8t9H3kBksW/?igshid=1ch8qe605r3nx

What is your biggest passion in life? I was asked this question in a couple’s trivia game yesterday. When faced with it, I realized that my passion has changed with the times. Modeling would have been my 1st answer. Fashion the second. But now, being a mom is my biggest passion. So much so, it drives me crazy some days and makes me the absolute happiest on others. #mommycrushmonday #momlife #modelmom #motherhood #love #momoftwo #style #momblogger #momswithstyle #fashion #streetstyle #ootd #model #nycmom #momsofinstagram #mhwmagazine #essence #styleblogger #blackmomsblog #momswhoblog #styleoftheday @mobywrap #instafashion #blackmomskillingit #blackmomsdaily #nycstyle (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ro6ewhUlz/?igshid=yzs98e30l59d

Just a little #OOTD situation. I felt completely underdressed in this arctic blast we have going on in NYC today, but...my kids on the other hand were nice and toasty 🤷🏾‍♀️ #mood #saturday #color #style #motherhood #momsofinstagram #momswithstyle #styleblogger #momlife #nycstyle #styleblog #blackmomskillingit #blackmomsblog #essence @essence #instyle #nyc #blackmomblogger @instylemagazine #mhwmagazine #headwrapstyle #fashion #instafashion #nycstyle #nycstyleblogger #streetstyle #nycstreetstyle (at SoHo, Manhattan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8mk9NsB-kv/?igshid=1or5ymv5f30n1

My Funny Valentine On this day, 6 years ago, we had our very first date. So funny story, I used to write a blog, similar to Sex and the City, where I would literally go on dates with guys to write about them 🙈. (Yes I know lol) But I was a single girl, working as a designer and writing was my side hustle, so 🤷🏾‍♀️. Anywho, I only took the date with @eyegeeohdee to write about it 😬. I never thought in a million years he would actually end up becoming my husband. It’s funny how life has a way of working itself out. He did and said all the right things and Cupid hit me like a ton of bricks. By the way, I knew there was something special about this gorgeous man. For our first date, he asked me out to the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum 🤗. WHAT A CUTIE PATOOTIE! Happy Valentines Day to the love of my life. #mood #wifelife #thegarcias #love #blackgirlmagic #saturdayvibes #fashion #style #louisvuitton #instafashion #couple #6yearstogether (at Louis Vuitton Exhibition - NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8l8fy0BZ0B/?igshid=hwwbrbuuq2lc

So today, I took my baby Zoey to her first Fashion Week Event 🙌🏾. She was such a doll through the whole thing 🤗 Giving some smiles and a little bit of shade 😂 But mostly a doll. #essencefashionhouse #motherhood #mood #momlife #mompreneur #momswithstyle #asos #momstyle #4monthspostpartum #blackgirlmagic #blackmomskillingit #blackmomsdaily #styleblogger #mommyblogger #momblogger #instafashion #nycstyle #streetstyle #nyfw #momoftwo (at Union West Events) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8hoTbThp_o/?igshid=irb035vjab8a

Playing Dress Up I was laughing with my bestie last night because I told her, “My clothes, shoes, bags, belts, hats, were all my babies before I had babies.” 🤪 And it’s true. Before we had children, their entire room was my closet...a little piece of heaven. So, we got an upgrade in children and a downgrade in closet space 😏 I’ve had to get creative with consolidating my babies with Hubby’s ( who also has an extensive wardrobe himself 🤦🏾‍♀️). Head over to my stories to see what I did. #momlife #wifelife #mood #mhwmagazine #motherhood #style #fashion #momswithstyle #love #styleblogger #mommyblogger #blackmomskillingit #blackmomsblog #momswhoblog #instafashion #nycstyle #nycmom #glamour https://www.instagram.com/p/B8fE8o-h83z/?igshid=493ne5fy5zs7

The Pursuit of Fierceness I remember explaining to someone yesterday that my life pre-motherhood was full of glamour. But in all honesty, I’ve had to change with the times. I’ve traded in some of my stilettos with Chuck Taylor’s and some of my clutch bags with slightly bigger bags 🤷🏾‍♀️. It’s a minor adjustment for a full time life. Style is unapologetic. Being whoever you want to be that day. If you truly have style, you can throw on a brown paper bag, a studded belt, a combat boot, grab your kids and be on your way 😉. AND OWN IT. 📸 PC: @mama.photog #mood #motherhood #momstyle #mommyblogger #momswithstyle #momlife #styleaddict #styleblogger #mhwmagazine #mommymagazine #love #style #nycmom #blackmomsblog #blackmoms #mompreneur #momsofinstagram #momblogger #fashion #mixedprints #instafashion #momstyle #momstyleblogger #styleinspo (at Central Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8d89tsBLkk/?igshid=bfte4id8mt3z

What do you see when you look at me? Being a Stay at home mom has a way of making you feel things about yourself that you never thought you would. This “job” can have you feeling every emotion possible in one day, and even sometimes have you questioning am I doing enough? I was inspired to document what a day in my shoes is like-head over to my stories to see what today was like for me 😬. And the answer is YES. Hell yes I do enough. And you do too 😘 #momlife #mompreneur #mompreneurlife #mommyblogger #photography @photo.by.nani #mood #love #selflove #motherhood #nycmom #momoftwo #blackmomskillingit #blackmomsblog #fashion #momswithstyle #tuesday (at New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ct9pKhi8q/?igshid=1sr5fataqmg4y

Woman Crush If only y’all knew how hard I have been working on myself. Pre-Motherhood, my self confidence wasn’t at its best. But, becoming a mother has somehow molded me into this humbled version of myself that just radiates self confidence. I’m grateful for my children being my teachers. I’m on a long journey of righting my wrongs, and this very life lesson has inspired my next wellness event.

What will you be known for? I think I really needed some time to process the tragic loss we all suffered yesterday. I viewed it as a woman losing her husband and her child in the same moment. We may not know them personally, but in reality, that could easily be any one of us tomorrow. I struggled, thinking, what is God trying to tell us? Everyday we wake up is another opportunity to live in our purpose. Don’t say, oh I can do it tomorrow, because #Fact is, tomorrow is promised to absolutely no one. DO IT NOW. Right now. Take the leap. Do what you love. Love on the ones you love. So tell me, starting right now... What will you be known for? 📸: @mikaela.pabon #mood #style #fashion #photography #mhwmagazine #love #blackmotherhood #styleblogger #ripkobe #instafashion #motherhood #blackmomskillingit #nycstyle #momswithstyle #blackmomsblog #essence @essence @instylemagazine @voguemagazine #momlife #blackmomsdaily #blackmomblogger #mommyblogger #streetstyle (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7044sfBXKc/?igshid=h6yrg0141hpb

Freak of nature 1. a person regarded as strange because of their unusual appearance or behavior. In previous relationships and some friendships, I was often criticized for being different and behaving differently, bka “being over the top” in my appearance and behavior. I was called weird A LOT. Today, I’m super unapologetic. I sometimes wear ball gowns to do my grocery shopping, I shave my head every week, I wear lip gloss to bed, I bake pies from scratch, I walk runways, I love old school music, and my little family loves me for me. Don’t settle for anything or anyone. If you’re over the top, don’t change. Live the life you want surrounded by people who love you for being you. 📸 @photo.by.nani #mood #selflove #motherhood #blackmomskillingit #modelmom #fashion #style #momswithstyle #blackmomsblog #styleblogger #mohawk #teamnatural #mommyblogger #nycstyle #mhwmagazine #instafashion #blackmomskillingit (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B73_0k4h8-Z/?igshid=1a8kgm4oz8psm
