Black and white or Full color??? 🖤🤍 💖❤️ I have my days when I like the simplicity of black and white, but then there are those days I just want to brighten up everything! Even the rainy days. Which one are you? Team black and white or team full color. The Sweetheart Dress features a bicolor combo and it comes in black and white or in Pink and Red. It is a mini dress and has a 60's swing dress vibe. They are also bump-friendly so you can wear them while you grow your 'mini-me". Get yours from our new collection at https://www.la-di.com/shop

Freedom is what we are all really after. Freedom to live Freedom to love Freedom to be It’s our birthright to be free. That’s the joy of Juneteenth. 🤍 This dress is part of my art as a designer. In a past life, I may not have had the freedom to create that I have today. Because I know how fortunate I am, I dare to dream. I work for those dreams, not for me but for everyone before me that couldn’t and for everyone around me now that thinks they can’t. As @kyrzayda_ once said, if there is something you want to do, go do it! Don’t wait. So here I am doing the thing. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I am campaigning through @ifundwomen of color to produce my new collection with a local factory so that I can serve more people. Up until now, I’ve been trying to do it all myself and I realize that to grow, I need your help.

Hey! Did you hear? We were fortunate enough to be chosen by @ifundwomen and @caress to participate in the Dreams to Reality program in preparation for our crowdfunding campaign. ✨ I’m so, so grateful for this opportunity and I’m super excited for our campaign where we will be pre-selling our next collection! ✨ You will have the chance to get first dibs on it at a special campaign only price, and we are going to make it so good! ✨ With your help, we will be hiring a local, minority-owned manufacturer to produce the best quality product for you. ✨ Did you know that currently, I still make every order that I’m blessed with, myself? Yes! I’m the designer AND the maker. Well, I love doing that but I realize it limits the amount of people I can serve at any one time. I want to dress millions! In order to do that, I need help! And that’s the WHY for this crowdfunding campaign. I’ve taken it as far as it can go as a one-woman show. Now, I ask that you help me grow. How? Stay in touch. I will be announcing everything leading up to our campaign date in May right here on IG and through our newsletter. ✨ Follow along, Like, Comment and Share. I need to get the word out! Thank you for being here, for reading this far down😁 and for your support! You are appreciated. Love, Laura💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/CNnSUn3jXfp/?igshid=19nngjz703lll

“Oh my God! You’re a mom? You look good for being a mom.” This compliment, and I do take it as a compliment, is very telling. Though well-intentioned, it speaks to how there is some judgement based on what stage of life you’re in. What is a mom supposed to look like? You may have gotten one of these before, “you look good for your age, for your weight, for your (fill in the blank). We are all just women trying to do and be our best selves out here in this world. We are not all the same so how could we be lumped into one category? “You don’t look like a normal mom.” What does a normal mom look like? Here’s your reminder that societal norms are not normal. You are not normal. And like my friend @ms_rg0131 says, you don’t fit in a box. You look good just because you do. Now go on and enjoy your Friday with your good looking self! P.S. If you are planning to wear your pj’s all day today, this still applies to you too, boo. ***Keep your eyes peeled for the new collection we’re designing to help you show them what you’ve got at your leisure.**** (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNciEy2Df1D/?igshid=r2llmzm394cx

Oh, can you feel that? The world is blooming again.

Looking ahead at brighter days and carrying on with all the lessons learned. Things haven’t been easy for many of us, but the hard times are the ones that show us exactly what we need to see to move forward. Personally, I’ve learned to look fear in the face more often. But, not only look it in the face (I was already kind of doing that, but shaking is not a good look), I learned to counter it, to see it for the lie that it is. By doing this, I find it takes away some of it’s power over me and allows me to perform better. This is an everyday effort for me. If I’m not paying attention, fear will take over and drag me down to a point where I can’t function at my best. And I’m not having that. What lessons are you moving forward with today?
