Being a mother is the most important aspect of my life. I receive all my joy, trials, and challenges from being a mother. I entered motherhood young, so I set my expectation for myself high. Everything I do is for the love of my child. It is hard becoming a woman and coming…

Hey and welcome to my Blog! My name is Steffanie Monae. I’m a San Francisco, Bay Area native and an SFSU alumnus with a Bachelors of Science degree in Fashion Merchandising and Marketing. I have over 13 Years of Fashion Styling experience and currently, work as a Personal Stylist, Fashion and Lifestyle blogger.
I love being a Personal Stylist, Fashion and Lifestyle blogger because it provides me the opportunity to help women feel empowered. There are many ways to empower women and I have been blessed with the ability to do that as both a Stylist and blogger. And, for that I am thankful!
Ok, enough about all the facts and professional information blah, blah, blah. Let’s talk about why this blog platform means so much to me.
I grew up in Oakland, CA and became a mother to a beautiful girl in my late teen’s. Who is now a Tween! It is important to me to be a woman my daughter can always look up to. A woman who possesses drive, integrity, intelligence and so much more. I also, find it important to be a woman that can empower other women. I want to help women strive daily toward being the best version of themselves. There is so much beauty in being the women God created us to be.
I hope as I continue to grow and challenge myself it will inspire other women. Throughout my life, I have had my share of ups and downs, wins and losses but in the words of the famous poet Mya Angelou, “Still I rise”. So, in theory, this blog isn’t just for you, it’s for us. This platform is a representation of me leaping.
As I journey through life, my faith, family and a keen sense of style are always constant. Personal Style has been my love since forever and it is my personal, peaceful outlet. That is why a career as a Personal Stylist, Fashion and Lifestyle blogger is considered a blessing.
I hope with this blog, I will inspire women through my style, advice, tips, heartfelt life stories, and experiences. Extremely grateful for the woman God continues to shape me to be! Welcome to my lifestyle!
Love and Blessings,
Steffanie Monae

I have a confession… I am a chronic Target shopper. I literally go there at least… 4 or 5 days a week! I mean it really is a one hitter quitter. I love everything about it, especially the kids clothing. It’s rare that I leave there without an outfit for Jay. As I learn to…

So, I love jeans with holes, but I have just one pet peeve about them. I dislike when they don’t hit the knee! With these jeans I have literally tried everything to get them to hit the knee… so bare with me! Other than that, I enjoy mixing a crop top with high waisted jeans.…

Its been Hot! like really Hot! So, finding a cool but well put together look (without looking too hoochie) has been challenging. So this day I was feeling blue… Well not literally but you know. This is a fun comfortable monochromatic look. I mixed a long flowy top, to add more of a slimming, lean…

The Last few days its been freezing in the AM and HOT as the day progresses. This look works because my knit sweater keeps me warm when needed and the crochet blouse does the job of keeping me cool when heated. I love big chucky sweaters right now, but my only pet peeve is they…

I love this dress and if it was up to me… I would wear it often! I love pieces that can easily dress up or down. Todays look is inspired by Carrie’s “Sex in the City” street wear(love her, the show, etc), but I had to put a little stank on it (in my Beyonce’…
