As a fashion designer, I notice the little things.

Not because I’m judging but because I know how much they can change the way an outfit looks and feels.

Over the years, I’ve realized that the biggest style mistakes usually have nothing to do with money. They’re the details most people were never taught.

From the wrong undergarments to chasing every trend, these are a few of the most common mistakes I see, and exactly how to fix them.

Because great style isn’t about having more clothes.
It’s about making better choices.

✨ Which mistake are you guilty of? 👀

No judgment—we’ve all been there. Tell me the number below, and tag a friend who needs to see this.

🤍 Save this for the next time you’re getting dressed.

I’ve been so inspired by the Knicks this season. Not just by the game, but by the mindset.

Watching their playoff run reminded me what resilience really looks like: staying with it, protecting your peace, taking the next step, and showing up even when things feel hard.

There were so many moments that hit me, and I found myself pulling lessons from all of it — not just for business, but for life too.

Which one stands out to you? Comment below 🧡👇🏽💙

Cut from a different cloth. Literally. A girl from Queens NY who couldn’t find anything to wear… so she built it herself.

Dressed in @melissamercedesofficial. All white power suit, paired with the satin tie belt. @telemundo at @studionoirla in Los Angeles.

Designed for the woman who walks in and doesn’t need to announce herself… the suit does that. Size inclusive. Luxury. Unapologetic. Collection dropping soon — are you ready? 🤍

TELEMUNDO at @studionoirla featuring @melissamercedesofficial

It’s always You, God. Every time. 🤝🏾

Behind every moment like this is a team that makes it possible. 🤍

@claudiauballez thank you for making this Telemundo moment real.

My makeup artist of almost a decade @makeupbyapollo you’ve been at every milestone. That means everything. 🤍

@____spiritualspice____ the styling was everything. You saw the vision and delivered.

And to all my models — you wore these designs like they were made for you. Because they were. 💛

I don’t take any of this for granted. Grateful doesn’t cover it. 🙏🏽

And if you’re not already watching… my segment on Acceso Total is coming soon. 👀 Stay tuned.

All I see is orange and blue skies. 🧡🔵🗽

I grew up in Queens obsessed with John Starks. This team has always been in my blood — orange and blue runs deep. New York never quits and neither do we.

One more win. New York, this is our moment. Let’s go KNICKS! 🏀❤️‍🔥
