Thats all I can do right? I can't let them mess up my day.😞 Social media is such a strange place.🤷🏾♀️ Thank you for your words of encouragement❤️. Have a great week!
I am so sorry to hear about the negative comments and your decision not to share uninhibited way.... People are really suffering with being unhappy and mentally ill...Some are just mean spirited... I, so enjoy hearing about your life because you are so real. You bring a sophisticated Black woman's perspective to fashion, life, struggles and being a New Yorker... While my personal style is quite different, I get so much from your VLOG. Your taste is IMPECCABLE and your energy and smile provides inspiration on how one can and should walk in life. I support your decision, but am saddened that some people have made you rethink your spontaneity. Keep up the good work because you are one of my favorite influencers. Your content is smart and different. You show us things that the other girlies do not. Love and Light My Lil Sister Girl!
I really do feel like people are suffering. Folks can't afford to pay bills.Folks are suffering from loneliness. Other folks are dealing with mental illness and/or depression.I try to keep that in mind when working through negativity. It's hard out her for many. Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate the way you have poured love and encouragement into me.I truly needed to read this! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!❤️❤️
Hi . 35 year old mom here and pregnant with my 3rd. It is totally normal as a woman to struggle with your weight, I’ve never been on the heavy side but I’ve always struggled with weight. You talking about it makes us feel normal. We love you here. And appreciate your content. Pay no mind to the haters. Even my family talks about if I’m gaining or losing. People can never just let you live whatever life that you feel is right for you. Any way. You go girl🫶🫶
Ive never seen you as anything but beautiful and gracious. I’ve lost 90lbs and I find it amazing how much people have decided that makes it ok to talk about my body! As someone older (63) i lost my personal style along with the weight. Following your journey weekly, I’ve really been able to reinvent myself in a style that feels truly authentic to me. I also love NYC so it’s fun to see the sights, the shopping, the food, the people and the fashion.
Sweetheart, This is your channel talk about what you want. Please don't let negative people stop you from enjoying your life and inspiring us who love you! You inspire me so much & especially when you talk about all the things you are doing to improve your life ❤
I appreciate you addressing the miserable people online. I always think that people who feel they need to criticize RUclipsrs about their weight, body, etc. don’t have anything else to think about, and they should go and volunteer to help other people. Do something productive, people.
"Do something productive people" 😂 Exactly! There is so much happening in the world that needs tending to! .My body is the least interesting thing about me.🤷🏾♀️ Why would there be so much conversation about that .😂 So weird. Anyway, have a great week friend!!!☺️❤️
I don't understand people. Instead of considering what you share (fashion tips, blogs, personal journies, and more) and being inspired (or not) they choose to be mean and judgemental. I support your decision.
I ABSOLUTELY love your content!!!!! I look forward to these videos every Sunday. I am learning sooooo much about my personal style!!… not to mention how beautifully edited and produced the content is #ChefsKiss ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Kura, you are absolutely an inspiration from your style, elegant composure, and relatable personality. You are my RUclips friend! Girl, as my mom always says, if you have nothing nice to say, then keep it to yourself! Have a blessed and beautiful week ahead!❤
Hey sis.❤️ Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate you so much.☺️ I'm going have to start sending folks to you mom! Maybe she can get them together!😂 Have a fab week friend!!
I overstand your privacy with health and weight loss. Love the restraint clip when it comes to personal style, which is something I struggle with. The good thing about getting older is learning to not worry about what others think and be true to yourself, period. Keep coming with the vlogs. Thanks, Kura. ❤
Hey Girl hey! First of all I apologize to the ones with the mean comments. You are amazing! I watch you every week and I appreciate you and appreciate you putting yourself out there to help your viewers. Keep doing you and know more than the haters, you have people like me who support you and appreciate you! You are 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much. The support in the comments have shown me that there more people who support me and I should be focussing on those people. You know I appreciate you and I truly enjoy your support! We have been internet friends for a while now Jennifer and I'm thankful for you words of encouragement and support. Have an absolutely fabulous week!! ☺️❤️
I needed that message on restraint and repetition. Most of us exist in a bubble (family, friends and coworkers - repeat) who could care less if we have the latest fashions or trends. So buying any and everything because someone is telling us it’s on trend or the IT thing doesn’t mean we need it. Not to say that you can’t buy things but be selective and personalized with what we buy. The worst thing we can do is buy things we really don’t want/need only to turn up looking like a clone of everybody else. Thanks for the videos and stay the course on your journey! 😊
Girl. 🖐🏾 I’ve known you since 99 literally!! And you still look amazing!! One thing I hate about social media is it gives ppl the audacity they wouldn’t have in person. Keep being fabulous!
I have so much respect for anyone brave enough to put themselves out there like you are doing. I’m not sure my skin is thick enough. You are my favorite fashionista and I look forward to your videos every week. We share a similar style aesthetic and philosophy and your videos are so beautifully edited. Keep being you and ignore those trolls.
My Sundays are not complete without your videos! Please keep what you’re doing - I absolutely love it! My POV on the trends situation.. I like watching the trend videos however I don’t get caught up in acquiring everything that everyone is wearing - I like what I like and I wear what I like 🥰 and I love being uniquely me
Thank you so much for your encouraging words. ❤️ The peanut gallery is always going to have something to say🤷🏾♀️ I appreciate you. Have a wonderful week!!
This is your channel. Teach people how to respect your content by continuing to share. People need to hear it. Your weight loss is a success story and should be celebrated. When the devil gets mad, just know you’re doing the right things. Love your channel and your spirit. ❤❤❤
Sorry for the hate you received! That’s crazy. I loved your last videos is one of my favorites because it included like stories from your family background. A few people can be so yucky.
The internet is a crazy place 🤦🏾♀️ Thank you sis. I truly do feel lucky in that regard. My family is truly my inspiration. Even though they are a little crazy.🤪 Have a great week sis!!💜 (Only you get the special purple heart)☺️
I love your channel! It truly represents "lifestyle" which feels complete to me when talking fashion. Share what makes you feel comfortable, but the format you have going really works. Currently trending fashion, skin care and makeup, shopping, food, what's on your mind, etc.... I appreciate it all. And let's not talk about the shots of the city and the music! Sharing your journey in weight loss is real. For you to remain fashionable through your ups and downs is reality. Again, I understand and respect your boundaries, but it is commendable for you to even think and open up to share that part of your life with us in the first place... Thank you
Wait. What??? Folks are out of control behind the keyboard. Misery loves company!!! You are so positive and wonderful!!! WE SEE YOU. You are killing it!
Admire, don't acquire. That's a mantra I heard that has stuck with me regarding fashion and life. Because I know my style I can truly appreciate something wildly divergent from it and yet have enough restraint to not buy it...or at least not invest too much coin if it's just a passing fad making my heart flutter. Thanks for your video and for being transparent about the impact of thoughtless comments.
Do whatever you need to do to protect yourself. If that means not sharing, I’m sorry you feel that way but I understand. If that means blocking negativity, do that. Self care comes first.
I really enjoy having a community when it comes to weight loss and being healthy. It helps me stay on track and I needed those encouraging words.I'm sure it helped others as well.😞 Give me some time to try to figure out how we can work around this. I think we all need the support.☺️ Have a wonderful week friend!!!☺️
I love your content! As a 73 year old retired professor who has always loved fashion, I find you refreshing, I try to use restraint - yep based on similar questions you raised,. Keep up the great work!❤️🙏🏽
Thank you so much for sharing and being candid with us. I was really enjoying hearing about and seeing your weight loss journey. It helped inspire me to keep going in my own journey. Your mental health comes first. Live your life and do what's best for you. I hate that people living and witnessing everything happening in the world have the audacity to feel so free to be insensitive and disrespectful. I hate that for you and other creators who are trying to share your authentic experiences and I hate it for those of us who feel inspired and can commiserate in these experiences.
Yes I definitely believe restraint is an important factor of personal style. I feel that using restraint enhances the ability to be creative with what you have and to focus on your true self. When there’s an overflow of pieces that do not speak to you, I feel that personal style is lost while taking on the style of others. And, great to hear that you are enforcing personal boundaries and protecting your peace. In reality we all can benefit from this IRL as well as social media. As I’ve mentioned before, I enjoy your refined content and will continue to support ❤
Kura~ I won’t give the internet trolls much time but we are here in this space for YOU and whatever content you are giving. This is your place and time where you share your thoughts, life and parts of your world…and I’m here for what you are willing to share and it looks like so many others are too. We all understand protecting ourselves in today’s digital world. Simply Kura is at the top of my list for Sunday mornings ❤❤❤ and almost 20k others seem to agree 👍 😊
When I look back, I think I've had a pretty consistent personal style core, and come back to certain textures and palettes repeatedly for items that Ilove/wear a lot. But I definitely haven't always cared enough to honor it, and for much of my life prioritized convenience, price, fit then style, without much thought for how it would work with the rest of my wardrobe. I've only really begun being thoughtful about clothing the past 3 years or so. But I've also been learning to sew, whiched has honed my attention to style and quality and because it is a slower, larger investment for bringing clothing into my life and has made me more intentional. Love many of the pieces you highlighted! And I'm sorry to hear you've had negative comments--speaking about others' bodies and health unsolicited is reprehensible imo. I applaud you for your boundaries.
I love spending time with you every Sunday. I actually enjoyed following your health quest and will miss it as I too am on a health quest, but I understand. Take care of yourself first. I learn from you and appreciate all the work you put into producing a posting every Sunday.
I just found you and I absolutely love, love, love your RUclips channel. You are so BEAUTIFUL, refined, elegant, authentic and inspiring. I learned so much! I love seeing you out and about NYC. (My home 24 years ago.) I miss New York so much! I too gained so much weight since I moved Alabama. 😢 But, I am changing that now. Which is why I searched for “fashion” on your and you were suggested. I’m so sorry some people made you stop sharing your weight loss journey. I am on a serious weight loss journey too and I would definitely join a private Patreon membership with you , if you had one. You are soooooo REAL!!! 💖💖💖💖💖 You are a Super professional vlogger! Best I’ve seen in your niche. Your voice is so calming and your background music is outstanding. I truly enjoyed your energy, , and style as you educate me with my NEW transformation goals. Thank you so very much!!! ❤️👏🏼❤️👏🏼❤️
I’m so glad that we found one another!! ❤️ Thank you so much for your kind words.☺️ I lived in AL about 20 years ago!😂😂 We switched places! Lol! Listen , the food down south is the soooo good! It’s normal to gain weight. I did the same when I was in AL! 🤷🏽♀️ I’m trying to figure out a way to feel more comfortable talking about my weight loss journey .I know it’s easier for me to stay on track with a community so maybe a Patreon would work. 🤦🏾♀️ Again Thank you so much for your kind words!! I needed all this positivity today!!☺️☺️ Have an absolutely fabulous week! 😊
You’re absolutely correct to set up boundaries for yourself. I think you’re awesome and real. We appreciate your honesty and your fashion sense. Just keep being yourself and you’ll continue to grow as we grow with you ❤.
Ms. Shukura, I am so sorry that the class and graciousness you put out has not been what you have consistently received. The nerve of some people! You are very much appreciated and supported. Keep your boundary & enjoy your journey. The adults in the room see you. 💐
I love how you continue to encourage personal style and show us how to use our DENT. Thank you for that! I hope you blocked those rude people. I had someone comment “ you need to lose weight” on an old video where I was trying on clothes. I won’t say what my initial thoughts were and what I wanted to say in my response because it was at a level 20. All that to say I hate that people think it is okay to say whatever they want without consideration for the words they’re actually communicating. This is in no way a defense for some of the people that thought they were providing you “helpful” suggestions. I think people think they are being helpful but either way it goes when suggestions and comments are unsolicited it still gives the person on the receiving end a negative experience. I have been thinking about this recently and am trying to find ways to vocalize this to family and friends in a calm manner. I am mostly doing this for my peace of mind because they will say whatever ( nothing that it is mean) but i am aggravated for days after the fact just at the thought of the topic. I try my best to not offer my opinion if someone didn’t ask for it. Even asking questions in certain ways is a way of pushing/offering your opinion and people need to be mindful of that. I hope I am not the only person who notices this. I kind of feel a little crazy typing this out but I cannot be alone! 😊
You are so incredible and inspiring. I have two daughters who were in jr high when social media came on the scene. There were way too many times that they were truly devastated by something posted about them. I don’t understand how people think they can say anything because they are hiding behind a keyboard. I think restraint and style is genius. As I got older I started buying just what I love. Now I have an outfit for everything and I love every bit of my closet. I was watching while doing makeup and I kept worrying that while I was looking in the mirror I’d miss an important pop up comment! I can’t miss a minute.
Kura those of us who have followed you for years we love everything about you negative comments are from new viewers snd new subscribers please don’t read negative comments you are getting more popular I was encouraged with your weight journey and comments You look fabulous and some women don’t like seeing women looking good Your skin is glowing what are you doing get advise from the influencers you admire and admire you they will give your advise to ground your peace. Don’t show your husband keep that part of your life private you are the epitome of class 💐💝😊✅
I watch several you tubers. I enjoy your channel. My understanding is the fact that being on a platform and sharing "anything" in the world we live in brings out good as well as the rude comments. When you put yourself out there in the public domain. Brush the negative out and keep going. Honestly don't quiet yourself for the likes of that element, you've now succum to their want Food for thought.
These people that were not nice to you were just being jealous of how much progress you have made I get it though a few always mess it up for everyone else I’m just glad you’ll be coming back on Sunday with your unique take on fashion and lifestyle ❤❤❤
That burgundy jumper was constructed well. The cropped leather jacket was pure 🔥 and those 3 denim looks were my absolute favorite. Lovely presentation, Kura.
I live your tips on curating a wardrobe. I usually do a quick price per wear calculation...which goes along with your tip of how I will style. Of course, if I fall instantly in love, that may go out the door. FYI, I still dislike the Loeve puffy glasses. 😊
Yes A price per wear calculation ! I need to start doing that! Girl I knew those puffy glasses were not for me.😂 I just caught up. 😂 Have a wonderful week!!❤️
Thank you!!! Thank you for helping me realize that I really don't need to purchase an item that I only wanted because it's the "it" thing!! I always learn something from your videos...ALWAYS. I love your content!!
I am surprised to hear about the comments on your weight loss journey. I often feel encouraged hearing about others progress because it motivates me to get moving, humans can be so disappointing sometimes, but we dismiss them and move forward. I always have soooo many things in a cart, as well. I love the flat boots, they both look identical, btw. I prefer a squared pointy toes boot, I feel that style has longevity. I absolutely love to mix textures and color palettes, with my outfits. Once I find a great combination, it will be on repeat but I also try to figure out how I can build on it by adding varying dimensions.
New subbie here! I love your content Kura. I feel like I’ve stepped into a movie set in New York, a place that I will probably never get to visit. I love the views of the city, all the restaurants &hotels, and especially the music that you add in. Plus, I love your voice! You could narrate the phone book and I would listen. And of course, I really enjoy the fashion content. I would have enjoyed hearing about your health journey, but I totally understand why you want to set boundaries. People can be so cruel sometimes. Please don’t let them steal your joy! Keep doing you, and thank-you for sharing a piece of your world with us.😊
Hey new subbie!!👋🏾👋🏾 Thank you for your kind words!! I’m so thankful that you appreciate my videos!! ☺️☺️ Thank you for taking the time to watch and to leave such a lovely comment 😊 the Internet is in fact a strange place and I definitely wish it was different.😞 Again, thank you for your positivity. Have a wonderful week! 😊
You are gorgeous, classy and such a delight. I look forward to your videos and hear you re the unsolicited advice/comments from others. Stay true to yourself and block out the noise, you owe no one any explanations. Stay blessed Beautiful 🙏🏽 ❤
I really appreciate your lovely comment! It’s always encouraging to hear such positivity. I’ll definitely keep staying true to myself! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!!☺️
Outside of your impeccable style and ability to ever so calmly have me pausing your video to go click the link to purchase one of your fabulous suggestions, your relatability is what I love the most about your videos. You're a beautiful brown woman who like many of us have dealt with our weight in some capacity. I hate that the lame ass miserable trolls have made you shift though I completely understand it. Always do what's best for you, just know your authentic presence on YT is appreciated.❤
You're doing a great job!! I look so forward to you every week. Protect your mental health. Unhappy negative people are such a bore. I've actually been supportive and so proud of you during your weight-loss journey.Btw you look FANTASTIC!! Keep up the good work. And yes l have been told that my style is classic with an occasional touch of edge and color but mostly black, white and neutrals. So enjoy your journey and continue to live your FABULOUS life with your hubby!!❤
I felt so bad watching your video today about these very mean people. I think you’re so pretty and I absolutely love your videos. I look forward to them every week. I love hearing about your weight loss and your food so keep going. Don’t let them stop you! ❤
Lady, i look forward to seeing your videos on Sunday (just got a chance to sit and watch peacefully 😂). . Thank you for sharing your family with us, so dope. Chile I discovered that I love wearing jumpsuits and whatever i feel fancy in. 💅 People will troll just to get a reation out of you, just block them and act like they dont exist.😂 Keep being fabulous and be encouraged love.🤞💪
Those boots are nice and sleek. I agree those will be great with trousers! I also love the Quince sweater and blazer. I must have been sleeping on them!
I love your channel and you inspire me. It's so hard not to let toxic people in your head. I just don't understand it. I never will. But haters gotta hate. You are a queen! Never, ever forget it! Keep up the good work. You look absolutely fabulous! LOVE YOU!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s always important to rise above the negativity and focus on the positivity. Like you ,I just don't understand 😞 I literally only want to help as many people as I can! 🥹 So this sucks lol! I appreciate you being so encouraging !!❤️ Have a great week friend!!
I just don’t understand why people would say something negative about your journey. I think being healthy and taking care of yourself is a wonderful thing! I am also on a weight loss journey so I can relate!! Much love and good luck❤❤
I think being healthy and taking care of yourself is the most important thing.You know they say health is wealth.🤷🏾♀️ Weight loss isn't easy and I truly just wanted to encourage people.😞 Good luck on your weight loss journey💪🏾 We got this!!
Hi Shukura, I am with you about setting healthy boundaries because that’s what matters. I do have outfits on repeat. I sometimes change the accessories to give a fresh look. When metallics were huge last fall I used my DET by getting belts. I love that green and blue J Crew sweater too! Have a wonderful week!💙💚
I’m so sorry you had to experience the negative comments from the haters. I love what you do and love your style. You’re doing a fantastic job. And good luck on the weight loss journey.❤ 💯
Kura you are a class act. Your vlog is like a fashion magazine. I learn so much. ❤And I have identified my 3 style words inspired to do so by your videos. And I did get my COS order no problem. 😂
I absolutely love the second pair (round-toed) pair of black boots. But I love the pointier toed options as well, and something tells me you would look and feel more glorious in the latter. But either, really, would be a great choice.
I hate the negativity on your channel and because of that we all have to miss out. We are all on some kind of journey for something and if people say that they aren’t they are in denial. You look amazing ok !
Kura! I don’t even have to say that blocking is the best medicine. I don’t understand how anyone can bring any negativity to you. ❤ It is definitely strange, but there are a ton of us who are interested- vs. those negative folks. Excited and happy for you. Now you have me thinking about grabbing more denim. I was eying those Spanx wide leg jeans. 👖 Good American is so good. I’m loving how you’re breaking down the interest in the 🤎look. I def do the visual textures in my layering. Agreeing on the right person ( and the lace up boot). Thank you for sharing Sis. You know I absolutely adore your videos. I’ve been on travel a lot lately, and I need to catch up, because I totally missed the snake incident!? Yikes! Sis, the story that you tell through your cinematography!❤❤❤ I love learning from you. I picked up those Isabel Marant sunnies too.
Happy Sunday Kura babe, girl I can’t wait til next week for that video. I love the booties, they’re simple and chic. They’re definitely going to pair well with your jeans.
Right?! It's a wild cycle! I try to keep that in mind when I encounter negativity. People are hurt. 😞 Thanks for taking the time to watch!! Have a great week!!❤️
Happy Monday! Let me just say that I really enjoy your videos. It really disturbs me that people can be so cruel. People judge and the only business they need to worry about is their own. I’m sad that you will not be sharing your weight loss journey. I really enjoyed that portion of your RUclips videos. I definitely understand why you need to ensure your own personal peace. Keep doing what you’re doing and being who you are. 🥰
So sad that people are so wicked. My husband and I were inspired by your exercising/ weight loss journey. Restraint is a must. I love to see fashion but I have conversations with myself basically along the lines of what you are saying. The boots look very similar. ❤
Isn’t it crazy how we end up having so much and don’t even wear all of it?! I decluttered last year and still have more to go 😆 good luck! Have a wonderful week 😊 ❤️
People can be very mean, disrespectful and insensitive. Whatever happens to if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it. Do what works best for you and your mental health. I wish you every success on your weight loss journey.
Thank you for your kind words ☺️ .Not enough people know about the Mind Your Business Ministries and maybe I need to inform them about benefits! I need to make a church announcement before service!😂 Have a great week sis!!❤️
The Black velvet suit... gorgeous! Please please get the jacket tailored at your waist to fit. With the wide leg trouser with high or kitten shoes?!?!? Chefs' kissess!!! As for the leather 'YSL' jacket is gorgeous too! Your head is about to explode with the fashion. To answer your question, I am not a flamboyant, out there dresser. I am a minimalist dresser with lux fabrics with structured jewelry details! I am getting into having the bag the same colour as my coat. It , for me, doesn't break the visual line. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say here. Proud of you and your weight journey. ❤
I tend to think of silhouettes and shapes first and foremost. Proportion is a big thing. Also I love many things but must keep in mind I'm not model thin anymore. I am now a heavier hourglass, so I have to find a way to get a trend or two but keep my shape in mind. I am in the midst of that personal change you spoke of. I'm going to take your advice and isten to the podcast suggested by Erikaveurick. I'm so glad to have found you. I could listen to you speak forever. Your voice and the way you speak is so very soothing! I am sorry that you have negative reactions and overly helpful comments in regards to your weifhtloss journey. It would be great if people just paused before posting and put themselves in the creators shoes. In any case, keep going!
Ignore the mean girls. You are a class act!🙏🏽🙏🏽😘
I couldn’t have said this better👏🏾!!! But I have to add, “The Nerve of some people 😖”
Thank you❤️ I will! I appreciate your kind words..Social media is an interesting place. 🤦🏾♀️ Have a great week!!☺️
Right?! I was shocked! Such am odd thing to say.🤦🏾♀️ I will never understand.🤷🏾♀️
You are fabulous! At my big age, what I can tell you is to live your life and ignore those miserable critics! Have a great week!
Thats all I can do right? I can't let them mess up my day.😞 Social media is such a strange place.🤷🏾♀️ Thank you for your words of encouragement❤️. Have a great week!
Dear Kura, you’re beautiful, please don’t paid attention to negativity, but I’m so glad you expressed how you felt 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🫶🫂👑
I am so sorry to hear about the negative comments and your decision not to share uninhibited way.... People are really suffering with being unhappy and mentally ill...Some are just mean spirited...

While my personal style is quite different, I get so much from your VLOG. Your taste is IMPECCABLE and your energy and smile provides inspiration on how one can and should walk in life.

Your content is smart and different. You show us things that the other girlies do not.
Love and Light My Lil Sister Girl!
I really do feel like people are suffering. Folks can't afford to pay bills.Folks are suffering from loneliness. Other folks are dealing with mental illness and/or depression.I try to keep that in mind when working through negativity. It's hard out her for many.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate the way you have poured love and encouragement into me.I truly needed to read this! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!❤️❤️
Hi . 35 year old mom here and pregnant with my 3rd. It is totally normal as a woman to struggle with your weight, I’ve never been on the heavy side but I’ve always struggled with weight. You talking about it makes us feel normal. We love you here. And appreciate your content. Pay no mind to the haters. Even my family talks about if I’m gaining or losing. People can never just let you live whatever life that you feel is right for you. Any way. You go girl🫶🫶
Ive never seen you as anything but beautiful and gracious. I’ve lost 90lbs and I find it amazing how much people have decided that makes it ok to talk about my body!

Sweetheart,
This is your channel talk about what you want. Please don't let negative people stop you from enjoying your life and inspiring us who love you! You inspire me so much & especially when you talk about all the things you are doing to improve your life ❤
I appreciate you addressing the miserable people online. I always think that people who feel they need to criticize RUclipsrs about their weight, body, etc. don’t have anything else to think about, and they should go and volunteer to help other people. Do something productive, people.
"Do something productive people" 😂 Exactly! There is so much happening in the world that needs tending to! .My body is the least interesting thing about me.🤷🏾♀️ Why would there be so much conversation about that .😂 So weird. Anyway, have a great week friend!!!☺️❤️
I don't understand people. Instead of considering what you share (fashion tips, blogs, personal journies, and more) and being inspired (or not) they choose to be mean and judgemental. I support your decision.
I ABSOLUTELY love your content!!!!! I look forward to these videos every Sunday. I am learning sooooo much about my personal style!!… not to mention how beautifully edited and produced the content is #ChefsKiss ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! You’re too kind.☺️ I needed this positivity today!❤️ I appreciate you taking the time to watch!! ☺️☺️ Have a wonderful week!
Kura, you are absolutely an inspiration from your style, elegant composure, and relatable personality. You are my RUclips friend! Girl, as my mom always says, if you have nothing nice to say, then keep it to yourself! Have a blessed and beautiful week ahead!❤
Hey sis.❤️ Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate you so much.☺️ I'm going have to start sending folks to you mom! Maybe she can get them together!😂 Have a fab week friend!!
@@simplykura Yes, my mom is 4’9 about 125lbs and will get them together real quick for you but with love🤣
I overstand your privacy with health and weight loss. Love the restraint clip when it comes to personal style, which is something I struggle with. The good thing about getting older is learning to not worry about what others think and be true to yourself, period. Keep coming with the vlogs. Thanks, Kura. ❤
Hey Girl hey! First of all I apologize to the ones with the mean comments. You are amazing! I watch you every week and I appreciate you and appreciate you putting yourself out there to help your viewers. Keep doing you and know more than the haters, you have people like me who support you and appreciate you! You are 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much. The support in the comments have shown me that there more people who support me and I should be focussing on those people. You know I appreciate you and I truly enjoy your support! We have been internet friends for a while now Jennifer and I'm thankful for you words of encouragement and support. Have an absolutely fabulous week!! ☺️❤️
I needed that message on restraint and repetition. Most of us exist in a bubble (family, friends and coworkers - repeat) who could care less if we have the latest fashions or trends. So buying any and everything because someone is telling us it’s on trend or the IT thing doesn’t mean we need it. Not to say that you can’t buy things but be selective and personalized with what we buy. The worst thing we can do is buy things we really don’t want/need only to turn up looking like a clone of everybody else. Thanks for the videos and stay the course on your journey! 😊
Girl. 🖐🏾 I’ve known you since 99 literally!! And you still look amazing!! One thing I hate about social media is it gives ppl the audacity they wouldn’t have in person. Keep being fabulous!
I have so much respect for anyone brave enough to put themselves out there like you are doing. I’m not sure my skin is thick enough. You are my favorite fashionista and I look forward to your videos every week. We share a similar style aesthetic and philosophy and your videos are so beautifully edited. Keep being you and ignore those trolls.
My Sundays are not complete without your videos! Please keep what you’re doing - I absolutely love it!
My POV on the trends situation.. I like watching the trend videos however I don’t get caught up in acquiring everything that everyone is wearing - I like what I like and I wear what I like 🥰 and I love being uniquely me
Hey Kura! Ignore the miserable people from the peanut gallery. Keep been your beautiful self.❤🥰
Thank you so much for your encouraging words. ❤️ The peanut gallery is always going to have something to say🤷🏾♀️ I appreciate you. Have a wonderful week!!
This is your channel. Teach people how to respect your content by continuing to share. People need to hear it. Your weight loss is a success story and should be celebrated. When the devil gets mad, just know you’re doing the right things. Love your channel and your spirit. ❤❤❤
Sorry for the hate you received! That’s crazy. I loved your last videos is one of my favorites because it included like stories from your family background. A few people can be so yucky.
The internet is a crazy place 🤦🏾♀️ Thank you sis. I truly do feel lucky in that regard. My family is truly my inspiration. Even though they are a little crazy.🤪 Have a great week sis!!💜 (Only you get the special purple heart)☺️
I love your channel! It truly represents "lifestyle" which feels complete to me when talking fashion. Share what makes you feel comfortable, but the format you have going really works. Currently trending fashion, skin care and makeup, shopping, food, what's on your mind, etc.... I appreciate it all. And let's not talk about the shots of the city and the music! Sharing your journey in weight loss is real. For you to remain fashionable through your ups and downs is reality. Again, I understand and respect your boundaries, but it is commendable for you to even think and open up to share that part of your life with us in the first place... Thank you
Wait. What??? Folks are out of control behind the keyboard. Misery loves company!!! You are so positive and wonderful!!! WE SEE YOU. You are killing it!
Admire, don't acquire. That's a mantra I heard that has stuck with me regarding fashion and life. Because I know my style I can truly appreciate something wildly divergent from it and yet have enough restraint to not buy it...or at least not invest too much coin if it's just a passing fad making my heart flutter. Thanks for your video and for being transparent about the impact of thoughtless comments.
Do whatever you need to do to protect yourself. If that means not sharing, I’m sorry you feel that way but I understand. If that means blocking negativity, do that. Self care comes first.
Maybe we need a Members Only. I very much want to share in your journey. People can be so miserable. 😟
I really enjoy having a community when it comes to weight loss and being healthy. It helps me stay on track and I needed those encouraging words.I'm sure it helped others as well.😞 Give me some time to try to figure out how we can work around this. I think we all need the support.☺️ Have a wonderful week friend!!!☺️
Thank you. ❤️ I was thinking about maybe blocking certain people, but RUclips only lets you block words.🤦🏾♀️ *sigh
normally do not comment on videos.....but love your content....❤
OMG Thank you!! ☺️ I appreciate you taking the time to comment!! Have a wonderful week!!❤️
I love your content! As a 73 year old retired professor who has always loved fashion, I find you refreshing, I try to use restraint - yep based on similar questions you raised,. Keep up the great work!❤️🙏🏽
Thank you so much for sharing and being candid with us. I was really enjoying hearing about and seeing your weight loss journey. It helped inspire me to keep going in my own journey.
Your mental health comes first. Live your life and do what's best for you. I hate that people living and witnessing everything happening in the world have the audacity to feel so free to be insensitive and disrespectful. I hate that for you and other creators who are trying to share your authentic experiences and I hate it for those of us who feel inspired and can commiserate in these experiences.
Yes I definitely believe restraint is an important factor of personal style. I feel that using restraint enhances the ability to be creative with what you have and to focus on your true self. When there’s an overflow of pieces that do not speak to you, I feel that personal style is lost while taking on the style of others.
And, great to hear that you are enforcing personal boundaries and protecting your peace. In reality we all can benefit from this IRL as well as social media. As I’ve mentioned before, I enjoy your refined content and will continue to support ❤
Kura~ I won’t give the internet trolls much time but we are here in this space for YOU and whatever content you are giving. This is your place and time where you share your thoughts, life and parts of your world…and I’m here for what you are willing to share and it looks like so many others are too. We all understand protecting ourselves in today’s digital world. Simply Kura is at the top of my list for Sunday mornings ❤❤❤ and almost 20k others seem to agree 👍 😊
The laughing picture of you with the coach tabby along with the voice over 🤣🤣🤣🤣 also road to 20k I’m excited
😂😂😂😂 !🤦🏾♀️
Also, We are on the road to 20k!!! Thank you for noticing ! 😂 I’m so excited!!
When I look back, I think I've had a pretty consistent personal style core, and come back to certain textures and palettes repeatedly for items that Ilove/wear a lot. But I definitely haven't always cared enough to honor it, and for much of my life prioritized convenience, price, fit then style, without much thought for how it would work with the rest of my wardrobe. I've only really begun being thoughtful about clothing the past 3 years or so. But I've also been learning to sew, whiched has honed my attention to style and quality and because it is a slower, larger investment for bringing clothing into my life and has made me more intentional.
Love many of the pieces you highlighted! And I'm sorry to hear you've had negative comments--speaking about others' bodies and health unsolicited is reprehensible imo. I applaud you for your boundaries.
I love spending time with you every Sunday. I actually enjoyed following your health quest and will miss it as I too am on a health quest, but I understand. Take care of yourself first. I learn from you and appreciate all the work you put into producing a posting every Sunday.
I just found you and I absolutely love, love, love your RUclips channel. You are so BEAUTIFUL, refined, elegant, authentic and inspiring. I learned so much! I love seeing you out and about NYC. (My home 24 years ago.)
I miss New York so much! I too gained so much weight since I moved Alabama. 😢 But, I am changing that now. Which is why I searched for “fashion” on your and you were suggested.
I’m so sorry some people made you stop sharing your weight loss journey. I am on a serious weight loss journey too and I would definitely join a private Patreon membership with you , if you had one. You are soooooo REAL!!! 💖💖💖💖💖 You are a Super professional vlogger! Best I’ve seen in your niche.
Your voice is so calming and your background music is outstanding. I truly enjoyed your energy, , and style as you educate me with my NEW transformation goals. Thank you so very much!!! ❤️👏🏼❤️👏🏼❤️
I’m so glad that we found one another!! ❤️ Thank you so much for your kind words.☺️
I lived in AL about 20 years ago!😂😂 We switched places! Lol! Listen , the food down south is the soooo good! It’s normal to gain weight. I did the same when I was in AL! 🤷🏽♀️
I’m trying to figure out a way to feel more comfortable talking about my weight loss journey .I know it’s easier for me to stay on track with a community so maybe a Patreon would work. 🤦🏾♀️
Again Thank you so much for your kind words!! I needed all this positivity today!!☺️☺️ Have an absolutely fabulous week! 😊
You’re absolutely correct to set up boundaries for yourself. I think you’re awesome and real. We appreciate your honesty and your fashion sense. Just keep being yourself and you’ll continue to grow as we grow with you ❤.
People are hurt so they act crazy. Your weight loss journey is an inspiration❤❤
Ms. Shukura, I am so sorry that the class and graciousness you put out has not been what you have consistently received. The nerve of some people! You are very much appreciated and supported.
Keep your boundary & enjoy your journey. The adults in the room see you. 💐
I love how you continue to encourage personal style and show us how to use our DENT. Thank you for that! I hope you blocked those rude people. I had someone comment “ you need to lose weight” on an old video where I was trying on clothes. I won’t say what my initial thoughts were and what I wanted to say in my response because it was at a level 20. All that to say I hate that people think it is okay to say whatever they want without consideration for the words they’re actually communicating. This is in no way a defense for some of the people that thought they were providing you “helpful” suggestions. I think people think they are being helpful but either way it goes when suggestions and comments are unsolicited it still gives the person on the receiving end a negative experience. I have been thinking about this recently and am trying to find ways to vocalize this to family and friends in a calm manner. I am mostly doing this for my peace of mind because they will say whatever ( nothing that it is mean) but i am aggravated for days after the fact just at the thought of the topic. I try my best to not offer my opinion if someone didn’t ask for it. Even asking questions in certain ways is a way of pushing/offering your opinion and people need to be mindful of that. I hope I am not the only person who notices this. I kind of feel a little crazy typing this out but I cannot be alone! 😊
You are so incredible and inspiring. I have two daughters who were in jr high when social media came on the scene. There were way too many times that they were truly devastated by something posted about them. I don’t understand how people think they can say anything because they are hiding behind a keyboard.
I think restraint and style is genius. As I got older I started buying just what I love. Now I have an outfit for everything and I love every bit of my closet. I was watching while doing makeup and I kept worrying that while I was looking in the mirror I’d miss an important pop up comment! I can’t miss a minute.
Kura those of us who have followed you for years we love everything about you negative comments are from new viewers snd new subscribers please don’t read negative comments you are getting more popular I was encouraged with your weight journey and comments
You look fabulous and some women don’t like seeing women looking good
Your skin is glowing what are you doing
get advise from the influencers you admire and admire you they will give your advise to ground your peace. Don’t show your husband keep that part of your life private
you are the epitome of class 💐💝😊✅
Unfortunately the bigger your platform gets the worse the trolls get I'm so sorry you have had to deal with this hugs from the UK 🥰
Kura we can tell you are Be-You-TIFUL inside and outside. We appreciate you sharing your knowledge of fashion.
I watch several you tubers. I enjoy your channel. My understanding is the fact that being on a platform and sharing "anything" in the world we live in brings out good as well as the rude comments. When you put yourself out there in the public domain. Brush the negative out and keep going. Honestly don't quiet yourself for the likes of that element, you've now succum to their want Food for thought.
I’m thinking the boots look too much alike to pay more! I’m the same with sunglasses, at this point it’s an addiction 😂 thanks for your content!
These people that were not nice to you were just being jealous of how much progress you have made I get it though a few always mess it up for everyone else I’m just glad you’ll be coming back on Sunday with your unique take on fashion and lifestyle ❤❤❤
That burgundy jumper was constructed well. The cropped leather jacket was pure 🔥 and those 3 denim looks were my absolute favorite. Lovely presentation, Kura.
I live your tips on curating a wardrobe. I usually do a quick price per wear calculation...which goes along with your tip of how I will style. Of course, if I fall instantly in love, that may go out the door. FYI, I still dislike the Loeve puffy glasses. 😊
Yes A price per wear calculation ! I need to start doing that! Girl I knew those puffy glasses were not for me.😂 I just caught up. 😂 Have a wonderful week!!❤️
You are glowing! Thank you for inspiring and motivating those of us who need it.
Your'e too kind! Thank you! I truly appreciate you.❤️❤️
I love Good American jeans. It is like each pair was tailored just for me.
Right?! They are so good!😊 Have a fabulous week friend!! ☺️
Thank you!!! Thank you for helping me realize that I really don't need to purchase an item that I only wanted because it's the "it" thing!! I always learn something from your videos...ALWAYS. I love your content!!
I am surprised to hear about the comments on your weight loss journey. I often feel encouraged hearing about others progress because it motivates me to get moving, humans can be so disappointing sometimes, but we dismiss them and move forward. I always have soooo many things in a cart, as well. I love the flat boots, they both look identical, btw. I prefer a squared pointy toes boot, I feel that style has longevity. I absolutely love to mix textures and color palettes, with my outfits. Once I find a great combination, it will be on repeat but I also try to figure out how I can build on it by adding varying dimensions.
You’re beautiful and your heart is huge♥️ Pay no attention to those negative comments. Keep taking care of YOU!🌹
New subbie here! I love your content Kura. I feel like I’ve stepped into a movie set in New York, a place that I will probably never get to visit. I love the views of the city, all the restaurants &hotels, and especially the music that you add in. Plus, I love your voice! You could narrate the phone book and I would listen. And of course, I really enjoy the fashion content. I would have enjoyed hearing about your health journey, but I totally understand why you want to set boundaries. People can be so cruel sometimes. Please don’t let them steal your joy! Keep doing you, and thank-you for sharing a piece of your world with us.😊
Hey new subbie!!👋🏾👋🏾 Thank you for your kind words!! I’m so thankful that you appreciate my videos!! ☺️☺️ Thank you for taking the time to watch and to leave such a lovely comment 😊 the Internet is in fact a strange place and I definitely wish it was different.😞 Again, thank you for your positivity. Have a wonderful week! 😊
You are gorgeous, classy and such a delight. I look forward to your videos and hear you re the unsolicited advice/comments from others. Stay true to yourself and block out the noise, you owe no one any explanations. Stay blessed Beautiful 🙏🏽 ❤
I really appreciate your lovely comment! It’s always encouraging to hear such positivity. I’ll definitely keep staying true to myself! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!!☺️
I just love the way you laugh lol….putting yourself out there is really a double edged sword! Do what you can to protect your sanity ❤️xx
I love your stance on your weight loss 💪🏽‼️
Thank you❤️ . I have to do whats right for me.☺️
Outside of your impeccable style and ability to ever so calmly have me pausing your video to go click the link to purchase one of your fabulous suggestions, your relatability is what I love the most about your videos. You're a beautiful brown woman who like many of us have dealt with our weight in some capacity. I hate that the lame ass miserable trolls have made you shift though I completely understand it. Always do what's best for you, just know your authentic presence on YT is appreciated.❤
You're doing a great job!! I look so forward to you every week. Protect your mental health. Unhappy negative people are such a bore. I've actually been supportive and so proud of you during your weight-loss journey.Btw you look FANTASTIC!! Keep up the good work. And yes l have been told that my style is classic with an occasional touch of edge and color but mostly black, white and neutrals. So enjoy your journey and continue to live your FABULOUS life with your hubby!!❤
I felt so bad watching your video today about these very mean people. I think you’re so pretty and I absolutely love your videos. I look forward to them every week. I love hearing about your weight loss and your food so keep going. Don’t let them stop you! ❤
Lady, i look forward to seeing your videos on Sunday (just got a chance to sit and watch peacefully 😂). . Thank you for sharing your family with us, so dope. Chile I discovered that I love wearing jumpsuits and whatever i feel fancy in. 💅 People will troll just to get a reation out of you, just block them and act like they dont exist.😂 Keep being fabulous and be encouraged love.🤞💪
Those boots are nice and sleek. I agree those will be great with trousers! I also love the Quince sweater and blazer. I must have been sleeping on them!
I love your channel and you inspire me. It's so hard not to let toxic people in your head. I just don't understand it. I never will. But haters gotta hate. You are a queen! Never, ever forget it! Keep up the good work. You look absolutely fabulous! LOVE YOU!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s always important to rise above the negativity and focus on the positivity. Like you ,I just don't understand 😞 I literally only want to help as many people as I can! 🥹 So this sucks lol! I appreciate you being so encouraging !!❤️ Have a great week friend!!
That blue blazer is a great color on you and those red boots with the cutouts in the back are fire…in all colors.
I have begun to ask the same thing when I shop! I have too many clothes! LOL
It happens to all of us. I had things that had tags on it. SMH I'm ashamed lol!
Thank you for the encourgement to still wear white ! I totally agreed 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🥰
I just don’t understand why people would say something negative about your journey. I think being healthy and taking care of yourself is a wonderful thing! I am also on a weight loss journey so I can relate!! Much love and good luck❤❤
I think being healthy and taking care of yourself is the most important thing.You know they say health is wealth.🤷🏾♀️ Weight loss isn't easy and I truly just wanted to encourage people.😞 Good luck on your weight loss journey💪🏾 We got this!!
Hi Shukura, I am with you about setting healthy boundaries because that’s what matters. I do have outfits on repeat. I sometimes change the accessories to give a fresh look. When metallics were huge last fall I used my DET by getting belts. I love that green and blue J Crew sweater too! Have a wonderful week!💙💚
I’m so sorry you had to experience the negative comments from the haters. I love what you do and love your style. You’re doing a fantastic job. And good luck on the weight loss journey.❤ 💯
New levels, new devils! Ignore the Dusties! You are fabulous! ❤
Kura you are a class act. Your vlog is like a fashion magazine. I learn so much. ❤And I have identified my 3 style words inspired to do so by your videos. And I did get my COS order no problem. 😂
I absolutely love the second pair (round-toed) pair of black boots. But I love the pointier toed options as well, and something tells me you would look and feel more glorious in the latter. But either, really, would be a great choice.
I hate the negativity on your channel and because of that we all have to miss out. We are all on some kind of journey for something and if people say that they aren’t they are in denial. You look amazing ok !
Kura! I don’t even have to say that blocking is the best medicine. I don’t understand how anyone can bring any negativity to you. ❤ It is definitely strange, but there are a ton of us who are interested- vs. those negative folks. Excited and happy for you.
Now you have me thinking about grabbing more denim. I was eying those Spanx wide leg jeans. 👖 Good American is so good. I’m loving how you’re breaking down the interest in the 🤎look. I def do the visual textures in my layering. Agreeing on the right person ( and the lace up boot). Thank you for sharing Sis. You know I absolutely adore your videos. I’ve been on travel a lot lately, and I need to catch up, because I totally missed the snake incident!? Yikes!
Sis, the story that you tell through your cinematography!❤❤❤ I love learning from you. I picked up those Isabel Marant sunnies too.
I'm a huge fan of the Riding Boot. I have the Paige pair and they are ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!
Happy Sunday Kura babe, girl I can’t wait til next week for that video. I love the booties, they’re simple and chic. They’re definitely going to pair well with your jeans.
Hurting people hurt people!!! ❤ Love your channel.
Right?! It's a wild cycle! I try to keep that in mind when I encounter negativity. People are hurt. 😞 Thanks for taking the time to watch!! Have a great week!!❤️
You are simply classy and I love your voice and the way you speak. Keep doing you.
Happy Monday! Let me just say that I really enjoy your videos. It really disturbs me that people can be so cruel. People judge and the only business they need to worry about is their own. I’m sad that you will not be sharing your weight loss journey. I really enjoyed that portion of your RUclips videos. I definitely understand why you need to ensure your own personal peace. Keep doing what you’re doing and being who you are. 🥰
You are not alone with the cart situation...lol
So sad that people are so wicked. My husband and I were inspired by your exercising/ weight loss journey. Restraint is a must. I love to see fashion but I have conversations with myself basically along the lines of what you are saying.
The boots look very similar. ❤
Love the Curate not Collect phrase! Working on decluttering now...
Isn’t it crazy how we end up having so much and don’t even wear all of it?! I decluttered last year and still have more to go 😆 good luck! Have a wonderful week 😊 ❤️
Love your content, the editing and the great jazz music!
Thanks so much! ☺️☺️I appreciate you taking the time to watch. Have a lovely week! 😊 ❤️
@@simplykura You too!!
I agree, I am not a trend person. Mainly because most of the trends I have already.
You are gorgeous and fabulous sister girl!!!
Thank you so much!!☺️☺️☺️ Just drinking my water and minding my business.. 😂
I am proud of you sis ad whatever you decide to do for your life. Let the haters hate, what a shame.
Thoughts, while you where speaking jenee came to mind and then you mention her great idea
I should have caught on when she said something.😞 I get it now. Smh… She was right .
People are cruel I think these people need to look at themselves you are great❤
I’m so sorry you were shamed. I love your channel. Your videos are the best and you have exceptional taste and style. Keep going, please!!
People can be very mean, disrespectful and insensitive. Whatever happens to if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it. Do what works best for you and your mental health. I wish you every success on your weight loss journey.
Love the DET and fabulous finds as usual
Another great video ❤ I would save your money on the flat boots...they looked the same 😉
Hey Kura!! I think the boots are very similar! You look great!❤
Do you! You are fabulous, and some people just need to join Mind Your Business Ministries! The audacity!
Thank you for your kind words ☺️ .Not enough people know about the Mind Your Business Ministries and maybe I need to inform them about benefits! I need to make a church announcement before service!😂 Have a great week sis!!❤️
The Black velvet suit... gorgeous! Please please get the jacket tailored at your waist to fit. With the wide leg trouser with high or kitten shoes?!?!? Chefs' kissess!!! As for the leather 'YSL' jacket is gorgeous too! Your head is about to explode with the fashion. To answer your question, I am not a flamboyant, out there dresser. I am a minimalist dresser with lux fabrics with structured jewelry details! I am getting into having the bag the same colour as my coat. It , for me, doesn't break the visual line. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say here. Proud of you and your weight journey. ❤
I tend to think of silhouettes and shapes first and foremost. Proportion is a big thing. Also I love many things but must keep in mind I'm not model thin anymore. I am now a heavier hourglass, so I have to find a way to get a trend or two but keep my shape in mind.
I am in the midst of that personal change you spoke of. I'm going to take your advice and isten to the podcast suggested by Erikaveurick.
I'm so glad to have found you. I could listen to you speak forever. Your voice and the way you speak is so very soothing!
I am sorry that you have negative reactions and overly helpful comments in regards to your weifhtloss journey. It would be great if people just paused before posting and put themselves in the creators shoes. In any case, keep going!
I love fall alphets
We love your Style Inspiration !!! Do You and stuff the Haters 😊
Thanks sis! ❤️❤️ These RUclips streets are not for the faint of heart.🤦🏾♀️
Love your content and conversation. By all means protect your mental health and peace. Mrs. C. Lee
You are so great love your style
So sorry those trolls are out there! I think you’re beautiful and I love your channel! ❤
