It’s been a very slow week on The B Werd and I do apologize. To be quite frank, my thoughts have been in a haze as I overwhelmingly kept up with this weeks tragedies. I’ve gone from feeling enraged, to feeling hurt, to feeling complete helplessness repetitively over the course of the last few days….
I was in Nordstrom picking up a gift for a friend’s bridal shower when I saw this Fleur Bleuse playsuit. Am I the only one who always ends up leaving with something for myself whenever I’m shopping for someone else? Although I currently have four floral playsuits that still have tags on them, this one…
Holiday weekends are good for a few things. Usually a paid day off of work, some good food and of course, some great sales. The sales are alwaysss my favorite. H&M has a never ending list of sale items starting at $4. I snagged this tank to pair with high waist shorts, this cover-up to…
I wanted to wait a few days before I gave you my two cents on what Jesse Williams had to say during his BET Awards acceptance speech. First, I wanted to give it enough time to circulate while observing what people had to say about it. Second, regardless of how necessary his speech was, I…
Chicago is without a doubt my favorite summertime city. I can’t tell you exactly why, but it’s a mixture of the beautiful lake, the stylish people, the large buildings, and the rooftops accompanied by champagne that make it feel like the perfect place to be. It’s an all around feel-good place. Anytime between May and…
I have a confession. I, Courtney.. Am a very cutthroat person. I have a very difficult time tolerating anything outside of what I don’t want to deal with. I’ve accepted that regardless of who I choose to be with, I will have to deal with things I don’t like, things that annoy me and maybe…
I’ll be enjoying Chicago this weekend which is my absolute favorite summertime city but I can’t deny that I wish I was here next weekend instead. In preparation for the upcoming 4th of July holiday, I’ve rounded up my festive outfit picks with enough time to get them shipped to you before next weekend. I’m not…
I got my first credit card after I turned 18 which is what helped me establish my credit line and for the longest, that was the only credit card that I had. I also started traveling often around 18 so, I spent the last 7 years booking my own travel arrangements with my hard earned…
I don’t care how confident you are, interviews are uncomfortable. Nine times out of ten, if we’re interviewing for a job we either really want it, or really need it. As badly as we want to prove our candidacy, let’s not forget how important it is to make sure the job we’re interviewing for will…
I know what I previously said, but I’m back in black. I consider myself remotely conservative when it comes to style, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t sexy elements that can compliment that. Because I have a small chest and bras aren’t always necessary, I purchase a lot of backless items. No, backs aren’t the…
I’ve always been one who was confident in anything I wanted to do. I tell myself just like I tell all of you that everything you imagine will come to fruition if you want it bad enough. But it wasn’t until recently when I realized that even the things that I imagine for myself have…
I’m going to be honest – the only thing that had Canada even remotely on my radar was the fact that Drake was from there; but my visit to Banff, Alberta was unexpectedly the most incredible time. One of my best friends Farran had Banff on her travel list and asked if I wanted to come…
If you’re reading this blog I’ll assume that social media is a part of your daily life in some way. Many of you are entrepreneurs, brand builders, and influencers as well, so we hold these platforms dearly to us, as they help us grow our following and business. Instagram introduced a few changes recently that…
While cleaning out some drawers over the weekend I came across a book that I’ve had for a while called 5: Where will you be five years from today? I originally purchased this book for my best friend when she turned 25 last year. I felt like 25 is a pivotal age that should be…
I’ve been wanting to start a blog for over a year but am struggling coming up with a name. How did you come up with The B Werd? There were two things that held me up the longest with this blog – designing the site and what the title would be. A lot of the…
