I noticed you have a turtleneck sweater on if you’re wearing make up, how do you keep the makeup from wearing on the collar?oh😂😱thank you for the shout out 🫶🏾🫶🏾
first of all, happy holidays!! i hope you had a fabulous time. also, please stop apologizing for being bougie or high maintenance, you do not have to do that with those that really rock with you. those that are offended will just have to deal. i stan a bougie black woman!
Happy new year.... almost! lol! You are so right about me apologizing for being high maintaince. I get so many people in real life who always say something about it that I find myself trying to make people feel more comfortable about it. smh....That stops now...in 2023....I am who I am.🤷🏾♀️. French butter and all lol!
Wait…. Did you just say your dad walked from Manhattan to the Bronx? 😮 I googled the walking distance 😢. Can we get into the light hitting your skin when you stepped out from your Tory Burch purchase at Brookfield. I LOVE your vlog. Can we get more vlogs in 2023?
Im sorry im late sis! ( the hoildays have been crazy) Im stopping by your channel tonight! Yeah girl, he walked all that way! crazy! THank you for your kind word Friend ☺️ For sure doing more vlogs this year! they are my favorite to edit!
This was so classy, and touching on so many levels. I don’t know where the single winter white rose was, but it spoke volumes to me. I saw those bad boots in BG.lol.
Thank you as always❤️ The single white rose caught me off guard and I was compelled to film it. It was by the 911 memorial. There was just something about it.
I am from Michigan, and l had such a great time in New York Thanksgiving weekend! I also went to the trunk show, it was awesome (bought a scarf while there)!
i'll have to try the gel x manicures, anytime i get a regular gel manicure it literally peels the next day and i HATE THAT. i've done the extensions with gel but the long nails are not practical for this corporate girlie lol
I have what they called a "structerd manicure" with gel poilish now and I love it. The long nails are pretty but I need to type and im not that skilled. lol! Gel X didnt destroy my nails like acrylic dd an IMO looked nicer. they werent as thick as acrylic's can be.
Hey boo!👋🏾🤗 my grey hair is so annoying🙄. Electrolysis is a bit painful 😬 but its my only option since laser doesn’t work on grey hair smh… I do have numb my skin first though. 🤗
It's not nuts. It's healthier to eat things that are real. I do the same thing. You looked fabulous shopping. I can't wear coats too heavy because i will be sweating. I really like that silver Tory Burch bag. I have had my 👀 on it. The Burgundy and blue shades are 🔥.
Im glad I’m not the only one. Some of this food has ingredients (chemicals) that I cant pronounce…. Ummm no iill pass lol! Girl I was sweating ! I regretted wearing the coat 😂 The silver bag with the matching cars holder !! So cute!!
I love the Ben Nye also. I don’t use it all over my face, but the lower bottom part and underneath chin. Works well, save the necks of my outfits. I’ve been using it for years. I loved your 😎. Stay blessed
Thank you for taking time to watch! I havent gotton to the grey hair situation yet ( the holidays have been busy! ) I will let everyone know the outcome, I tired of these grays! 😩
This is the first time I came across your channel and I'm hooked! Love your style and energy. I totally got you on the butter. We are what we eat. You pay for your health on the front end or the back so might as well treat your body good. Also, thank you so much for The Laqlab recommendation. My girlfriends and I were looking for a black owned nail shop. You have a new subscriber, wish I had found you sooner. Happy Holidays!
Yay! Im glad we found each other! Thank you for your kind words🤗❤️. Im not 20 anymore so treating my body the best I can is top priority. The Laqlab is my favorite spot! I hope you get a chance to go! The experience is elite! Thank you for subscribing❤️🤗. Thanks for stopping by.💕
Love that you’re being more intentional with eating real/whole foods. My favorite yogurt is a French whole milk that are in individual ceramic and glass pots and I get teased all the time for my bougie nothings 🙃
Kura I am so happy I found your channel. I definitely feel you have great personality. The last two pair of glasses are everything. Yeah I wasn't a fan of Lost Cherry until here recently and it's good good. Thank you for the great content.
Im so glad you took time from your day to watch.Thank you 😊 The last two sunglasses are my fav. The first pair is just not working but im glad I tried. Thank you for your kind words.❤️
New here, and I really enjoyed this vlog💗! good vibes, music choices and great content. I haven’t even in the financial district in a while… but I totally get it…That 9/11 moment was real! I used to live in downtown Manhattan, less than a mile away from the towers and was home the morning when everything unfolded...😮💨 Thanks for sharing the Oculus Center moment, I need to make my way over there. The red nails are cute, and aint nothing wrong with being a little bougie (bourgeois)! Lol Thanks for sharing!
Hey newbie! 👋🏾Thanks for stopping by🤗. 911 was surreal. Thank God you were home and not out and about! The Oculus was a total Christmas moment. The live string quartet really set the mood. It was beautiful. Thank you, I love a good red nail🤗 I really need to stop apologizing or making excuses for being bougie🤷🏽♀️… I am what I am😂 Thanks for taking time to watch❤️
@@simplykura Surreal is the perfect way to describe that day, and yes I’m thanking God that I was indoors that morning! I 💗 a red nail also… I’ve been alternating between a short & long bright red nail set lately. Glad I found your content☺️ keep the bougieness flowing! 🤣
Lost Cherry is either a hit or miss for people. I love it on its own & mixing with a handful of fragrances. The red frames are my favorite! They’d be a nice contrast with your creme shopping fit, too ✨
Some people hate lost cherry! Its so funny how it smells so different to different people . I love it! I didn’t at first. The red frames are my favorite as well.. They would have for sure looked with the cream!!
They are Tom Ford. I linked them. But you may be able to find them on sale.The link will get you the name and product code. Just google it. Ive seen them for cheaper.☺️
Hi Kura. New subbie here. I was in the city Dec 8-9 a hit some of the same stores. Found a few good things perhaps because I’m an out of towner Great vlog….
Hey new Subbie! 👋🏾 I found some things as well! I didnt show them because they were gifts ,and my family is noisy lol. Thanks for taking the time to watch.😊
As always love the vibes. I was watching Tajah’s video yesterday and she had one the first pair of Lorvae’s and I was definitely thinking they were retro but still so cute!! I love De’arra and will definitely be supporting soon. I love a cute Sunnie and those are it That Ben Nye is a blast from the past. I love to see it
That sounds fun! If you are staying at the plaza you will have to walk pretty far down 5th ave to get to the more affordable stores. Its roughly 7 or 8 blocks to Zara, h&m etc… I hope that you enjoy your time with your daughter❤️🤗
Well, if you think eating good butter is bougie what does that say about buying designer goods???? I, for one love Isigny Rock Salt butter. It's like $2 in France, but it's been as much as $14 in the US. Kerrygold Irish butter is my mainstay because it's usually available at most supermarkets and tastes so much better than other widely distributed brands. I also like Amish butter. Food nourishes and provides joy. If there's anything to spend money on, it's good quality food. Which sadly, is basically a requirement due to the lower quality of what is standard here. Especially now that the price of groceries has jumped by 30%. Gotta go to the Farmers Market and 2-3 different food stores to stretch the budget. I mean, my coffee creamer is double what it was before the Pandemic. Generic canned peaches are the same price as the premium brand name! Let me stop before this becomes a 5 paragraph rant, lol!! Embrace the normalization of "bougie" if that's how you define it.
I completely agree that buying/ eating quality food isn’t bougie. I think Im just used to peoples reaction being confused or shocked when I talk about food. Oftentimes people tell me that “I’m doing too much” So now I feel like I have to tip toe around the subject smh. Kerrygold is my fav. I haven’t tried the other butter you mentioned but now I want to. Ive never tried amish butter either! Within the last year or two I have put more effort, time, and money into quality food and I’ve learned so much about our food here in the U.S. I am slowly learning how to embrace the things that are important to me . Even if some think that it is bougie. Thank you for this comment…It made me think about what I find important🤗❤️💕
I noticed you have a turtleneck sweater on if you’re wearing make up, how do you keep the makeup from wearing on the collar?oh😂😱thank you for the shout out 🫶🏾🫶🏾
K you answered in the video already 😅I like the last 2 glasses on you 😎
Thanks Liz! i forgot to add your channel! Ill do it now!!
@@simplykura thank you 😊 again,in the video I was like her husband tall like mine,We’re Shortys.
@@istyleliz He is! He also doesn’t miss a chance to tell me how short I am compared to him😂😂 So annoying!
I get it about the butter. I switched to Kerry Gold . Made from grass fed cows milk.
Yes, thats my mainstay now. Its much easier to get then the french butter and taste good🤗
I really enjoy your channel it’s giving Lux, high fashion but don’t go broke while looking the part.
I personally appreciate that! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yasss!!! I LOVE MONEY IN MY POCKET! But also,Im not afraid of a luxurious moment….. or two…..or three…😂😂 Thank you for taking time to watch!
Love the real butter/real food 👏🏾
Thats the only way im eating for now on!
“Not BRICK cold” gotta ❤ it!
😂😂😂 🤦🏾♀️ it wasn’t freezing 😂.
I learned several things from u today, so I subscribed! Thank you…
Thank you for taking the time to watch!❤️🤗
Ooooh Kura girl you were looking goodt I'm that cream outfit!

Full set $25 ohh how I miss those day😢
Those were the days!😩
Definitely the Red👏👏👏 glasses
Right!? They are so good 😩
Loved your vlog so much. New to your channel and have subscribed. I love you’re not bougie but bougie 😂
Hey new subbie! 👋🏾 Thanks for taking time to watch. Bougie/Not Bougie is a perfect way to describe me🤣
Sis, it’s okay to like fine things. If this makes you bougie, so be it! 🎉 you deserve!
You’re right sis!😩 Im learning to just accept it. 😂
first of all, happy holidays!! i hope you had a fabulous time. also, please stop apologizing for being bougie or high maintenance, you do not have to do that with those that really rock with you. those that are offended will just have to deal. i stan a bougie black woman!

Hey!! Just wanted to say that I enjoyed your video :)))
I LOVE ALL YOUR MUSIC! Thanks❤️🤗
I love that you have the Lorvae sunglasses. D’erra has come a long way. The red sunglasses look so good on you!!
Thank you! She really has ! I think that she is an amazing women! She didn’t need that boy😂😂
Lord have mercy you walking around shopping in heels God bless lol
I regretted it instantly! 😂
When I go visit NYC to see my family. I always end up hitting most of the stores.
Shopping is a sport here🤦🏾♀️😂
😁👏👏 thanks for sharing! I'm buying the TB Cat Eye bag in 2023.
I want to see it in person! 😩
Live your life! Your pockets, your lifestyle! You look fabulous and enjoyed this vlog! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

i'll have to try the gel x manicures, anytime i get a regular gel manicure it literally peels the next day and i HATE THAT. i've done the extensions with gel but the long nails are not practical for this corporate girlie lol

Well I'm guessing I'm not going to the Louis Vuitton exhibit haha. I love all the sunnies of course. Great vlog!
😂😂😂It wasn’t that bad… Just not what I was expecting.🤷🏽♀️😂
Glad you're back. Missed the Vlogs ! Wishing you a Happy Holidays 🌲
Same to you sis!!!❤️🤗
Love you for sharing all the tips. My grey has increased. Electrolysis sounds very painful.

I never thought of just using that way. That makes a lot of sense. 🤔 Im going to try it this week. Have a blessed week sis! ❤️🤗
Thanks for the vlog. I hope to hear of the gray hair remedies work.
Thank you for taking time to watch! I havent gotton to the grey hair situation yet ( the holidays have been busy! ) I will let everyone know the outcome, I tired of these grays! 😩
Oh my! I truly enjoyed this vlog ❤❤❤ It looked like such a beautiful sunny day.
Thanks Connie! It was a beautiful day!
I'm feeling the red sunnies! Perfect for Fashion week....don't influence me LOL... D'erra is breaking through!
😂😂 Sis, you gotta get them!!! I lve worn them everyday since I got them😂

Love brow lamination, but thinking about soap brow
Ahhh maybe I should try that first🤔.

@@simplykura ok thank you! Is that a 30 min walk?
@@lovealwaysjasmine more like 10/15 min walk. As long as you don’t get distracted by the other stores on the way😂.
@@simplykura yay awesome thanks for your help! And I more than likely will get distracted by all the stores lol
@@lovealwaysjasmine 😂😂😂 You’re welcome. Have fun!
How does the Ben Nye setting spray compare to the Charlotte Tilbury?
In my opinion, the Ben Nye helps prevent makeup transfer (not totally but much less) The CT helps makeup look flawless etc…..
