The Kat Sunglasses have just been added to Blue Labels Boutique and they are giving off some serious 90s vibe.
“Miami Vice” is the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw these. The style from the show, Miami Vice, represented what the “cool kids wore” in my opinion.
(If Miami Vice made you say “huh?”…ask Siri)
The Kat Sunglasses are come in a options of colors.
Which would you add to your collection?? Let me know in the comments…

The well known saying, “There is a time and place for everything” can be applied in lots of areas including style.
For instance, you probably wouldn’t wear the same dress to work that you would wear to a nightclub or on date night. Right?
Just like you leave the stilettos at the crib when you’re going to Disney World.
Same applies with a cutout. If it’s in a certain place; it could be showing more than you need to (for the occasion).
That’s the main reason to appreciate a good cutout. It puts your assets on display with ease. The Keeping It Mod Dress proves my case.
The cutout is front of this dress is everything!
Date night, time out with your girls at happy hour makes this dress perfect for those occasions.
When your plans calls for a cutout, would you wear the Keeping It Mod Dress?? Let me know in the comments…

I couldn’t believe it when the notification came in.
No seriously.
I’ve seen 1,000 followers on other blogs and thought, “How the hell did they make that happen?!” 🤔.
Never did I think 1,000 people would follow Fashion Not Fear.
When the number reached 500, I was happy, over the moon and completely content.
So, imagine what happened when I saw this!
It was the best feeling ever!!!!! FNF started as a blog that shared product and sale information about Blue Labels Boutique. Then, it transitioned into including fashion tips, lifestyle tips and a video series entitled Fearless Women. Recently, it’s evolved into a dress line.
Believe me there was a time when I wondered if anyone cared. Was there a person out there that would even bother to look at the posts? How many people would actually take the time to read it? All kinds of doubts have come to mind.
But I just kept going.
From tips on how to style at work to how I almost lost my eye using a sewing machine. Even sharing a crazy story like that, didn’t deter people from hitting the follow button. (At least I don’t think it did.) 😉
Nevertheless, I am truly grateful. Time is valuable and irreplaceable so the fact that you take a few minutes out of your day to see what’s going on FNF is invaluable.
Who knows what the future holds. Hell, I don’t even know what the topic for the next post will be.
One thing is for sure…I’m just going to keep going. Here’s to you staying on the ride and the next 1,000!
In the words of the late, great Nipsey Hussle…the marathon continues.
I would LOVE to hear why you hit the follow button. Let’s talk, tell me in the comments.

Happy Monday! Firstly, apologies to you! There is a new post here on every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week like clockwork. However, there weren’t any posts last week. Its been a whole week since there has been a post on FNF. I know how it can be when you get used to something and then things just…change. Sorry for that. Allow me to explain…
A couple of weeks ago, the announcement was made that Fashion Not Fear will be in the upcoming SPIRIT Fashion Show that is held at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh on April 6th. Since that announcement dropped, things have gotten REAL!
My lineup consists of 9 models that range in a sizes from Xs to XXL. Each style has to be imagined, sketched, pattern made and/or found, fabric sourced and cut, sewn, re-sewn (in some cases). Its alot for one person. But no complaints from me…because I LOVE this shit!
Anyway, the before mentioned steps have to be done 9 times for this show. Well, actually 8 times. There will be a two piece set that was previously dropped that you will see in the show. It just went with the theme so well that it was hard to leave it out.
Needless to say, I have been working non-stop for the past few weeks. I’m surprised that I found the time to write this. I just thought y’all needed to know the tea.
In addition to all of this, Blue Labels Boutique will be popping up this weekend. Saturday, you can come shop at the Night Lights Event in San Antonio. You can check out their website for ticket information. Hope to see you there!
Now, that you are fully informed, I’m headed back to the sewing machine. Almost at the finish line! Any guesses on which skirt set will be in the show?? Let me know in the comments…

Ruffles are one of the first details that comes to mind when I think about girly and feminine fashion.

90s fashion was on two different spectrums. There were those that were all about sexy and showing it. Then you had the other group of fashionistas that were all about grunge and oversized.
I, for one, have always been a fan of 90s style. I did live through it! However, I was in both categories. There was times would you catch me at school in a slip dress with a t-shirt underneath. Then other days, I would wear one of my brothers flannels with baggy jeans and crop. It just depended on my mood and what the school was going to let me get away with for the day.
90s styles are here and aren’t going a place. The key is in the details of updating it. Here are 4 styles you can rock that are scream…I LOVE THE 90s!!!
Janet Jackson rocked the blazer dress like no one else in the 90s.
The Unflinting Blazer Dress will have you channeling your inner Janet.
Overalls are the epitome of 90s fashion. Whether its a dress or pants. Brittany Murphy happily wore her overall dress in the 90s. Plus, she paired it with all of the 90s accessories we love.
The Gallant Dress has an update with ruffle sleeves!
Drew Barrymore reigned in this simple sheer top paired with a tank in the 90s. The Sheer It Up Top is the exact way I recently wore this 90s style to happy hour.
Everyone #WCW, Halle Berry, looked amazing in the all black look with tie up detail. The Too Tied Dress will leave feeling all Halle-like.
This tie-up 90s stile is also available in a jumpsuit.
Thoughts on these looks? What was your favorite 90s style? Let me know in the comments…

In November, I received a call from my Mama. “We are buying tickets to see Michelle Obama in Austin. Are you okay with that?” she asked. “Hell yea!” was my reply. Immediately after we talked, I created my list of things to do before the show:
#1. Read her book, Becoming. Okay, so maybe my plan was to listen to the audiobook. There isn’t much time in my day to sit down and dedicate alot of time to reading a book right now, unfortunately. The audiobook still counts, right?
#2. Pick an outfit. Red blazer with matching mini and super high heels was my first thought. Since buying other brands isn’t on my radar right now, making my outfit is my preference.
#3. Find the perfect restaurant in Austin. Now, I’ve been to Austin so many times that I’ve lost count. So, I can tell you where to get some good food. However, the 7 other people I was carpooling with (Mama, sister, cousins, Aunts) insisted that the restaurant was right off the freeway.
I had plenty of time to take care of this short list, right?
In the months, following I was in the process of making a new collection, began working on an upcoming fashion show, amongst other things. Before I knew it, the week of the show had arrived and not one thing on my list was completed. Life got busy! Not that I’m complaining.
As a result, I found myself wondering why I never copped the audio version? Pondered why I didn’t MAKE TIME to sew an outfit. And ended up researching restaurants 1 hour before we hit the road.
After filling up on shrimp with grits, fried green tomatoes, and shrimp corndogs…we headed to the Frank Erwin Center.
Rachael Ray was the moderator. When she welcomed Mrs. Obama onto the stage, the crowd lost their minds!
After a long standing ovation, we sat down and listened. She talked about her childhood and the relationships she had with her family members. She gave some insights into the ups and downs of her marriage. Rejoiced that they would be “empty nesters” soon and even joked about not cooking much. And if you wondered if her hubby, ex-POTUS cooked, not really. He cooked chilli…once.
But learning about the Obamas wasn’t the only thing I got out of it. So many aspects of life were talked about that I was really able to see how that related to my life. Here are 2 points, specifically, that resonated with me.
– Michelle told a story of how her family set a particular time for dinner each day. However, as Barack started becoming more and more popular, he was arriving home later and later. Sometimes, too late for dinner. She had to make the decision to move forward with their original plans by keeping dinner set the appointed time. Whether he was able to make it or not. As women, it seems like we are responsible for everything! Laundry, groceries, making dinner, taking care of babies just to name a few. We are also know to hold things up or put important things to the side to make sure our family is good. Not to mention, we still have to get out there and make money. It can be alot. Life has to move forward. Set goals and keep them. Prioritizing like this is essential. It helps to focus on things that are important and leaves time for YOU.
– Mrs. Obama also talked about her journey of going through college, becoming a wife, mother and working. Once she became the First Lady, she went right into her own initiative…making kids healthier. As you know, she was successful at it. After leaving the White House, her first book dropped along with a tremendously successful book tour. It seems to me that this fab 55 year old is just hitting her stride. Stay on your journey. In due time, what you are meant to do will naturally happen. Stay the course and be willing to accept new challenges head on. It’s the only way you will know where you are supposed to be.
I don’t want to spill all of the tea from the event. I have downloaded the book and can’t wait to devote the 19 hours that it says will take for it to be read to me. The tour continues so hopefully, you will have the chance to catch it. Let me just tell you. It felt like I was having an intimate conversation with an Auntie. She spit so much knowledge that you can definitely use.
Thank you Michelle and Rachael for a magical night. Have you or will you be attending her book tour? Have you read, Becoming? Share your thoughts in the comments…
