I have been waiting forever to wear these pants I asked my dad to sew few months ago. It is made with an African fabric called ankara and because of the crazy prints on it, I wanted to find the perfect blouse and I did on EBAY (Gosh I love ebay!!!). The shirt retailed for about 80 pounds, I bidded and got it for SEVEN BUCKS....yes seven. The fabric is A-MA-ZING. I tell you I'm a fabric freak. Fabric matters a lot to me when I'm picking out staple pieces to my closet.

At night, I went to dinner and movies for a friend's birthday, I paired the blouse with a pleated skirt I also got on Ebay a while ago, along with my quilted chain purse from Ebay as well. I guess the whole outfit had some ebay effect going on.

Check those ANkle booties By Vera Wang, best shoe purchase I have ever made in my life.

these are my all time going out shoes- Simply Vera Wang

Hello readers,

Just a mixture of everything, I planned on talking some good pictures yesterday because i was feeling the simplicity of my outfit, but my schedule got a little crowded that I could not get good shots like I planned. Yesterday was my younger sister birthday and we all went out to have a relaxing time at the mall after an early evening meal at a Thai Restaurant.

My Afro is back and I so love the way it makes my face look wayyyyy younger

HERE ARE FEW SHOTS...

My 17 year old younger sister, all grown up

Picked up a blazer for my mama

Speaking of which, I came across these platform sandals for sale. How I love the simplicity but I didn't purchase

Totally loving the blue shadow to match my collar haha

Hello there!
It's been a while, but here's a new post. My camera has been messing up a little, I still don't quite get the settings and I'm too lazy to read the manual.

I got this shirt as a gift for my birthday and the skirt I have had for about 2 years now.
I'm ready to take my braids down this week and unfold what's underneath *super exicted*. ENJOY!

Yesterday was very tiring from a church member birthday party on Saturday and so was the day after. But the way I was brought up, no matter what you get up every Sunday morning ready to go to church. So let's just say I was on the go...LITERALLY. I just picked out these two pieces from my closet. I have had them both since last summer and I tell you sometimes the unplanned outfit comes out just fine.

For my hair, I don't know if it is just me but I find the funkiest hairdo's when my braids get old. ON Saturday I had it braided from the back forward and then wrapped up. Yesterday i had it braid to the front and then wrapped in a bun just like solange's. ORANGE LIPS, NUDE EYES...YEA!

When I posted one of these photos on instagram yesterday, a friend comment was that my look reminds her of Audrey and I looked up Audrey on Google. I know she's a fashion icon(That's about all I know about her) but while taking a look at her pictures again, I fell in love with a specific picture of her in a black dress and pearl necklace which is exactly what my dress is.

With a lot of stress on life in general, I usually like to seduce my eyes with items I have been checking out for a while, plus it's summer, so why not.

I have been looking for retro round sunglasses forever...I MEAN FOR-EVER. Yea, I know they are everywhere, but I wanted something more sophisticated and a little different from what everyone has. So when I came across these on Ebay the other day, I immediately jumped on it without any further questions. I love the yellow/orange tone with a cut out arrow on the sides. GORGEOUS!

Hello Readers,
I felt like posting something this morning, and i thought why not post some looks I didn't get a chance to post on this blog, meaning some of my favorite looks before I started this blog. I hope you all enjoy!
Pls comment and subscribe on the side. Thank you!

Christmas 2011

Last summer

Last summer

My very own design, from the scratch, sewn by mom, designed by me to show my love for animal prints

Some fashion shows I have participated in- Mocolatee winter 2012 fashion show

Fashion show I volunteered for at my school

I remember this like yesterday, The first fashion show I hosted in High school before graduating and made the school Newspaper

Hallo again!
Let's just say this summer has being a mixture of different feelings for me. Emotions running around town, good time with family, bad times with friends, laughter, crying, yelling- yea! it was a nice little Roller coaster. I believe that no matter what happens in your head, in your home,at work or wherever, it is very important to come out smiling in Public *Makes people wonder what's going on in your head without actually guessing it right*. For one thing, I'm not actually a great example of people who smile on the outside because according to people I frown a lot and I have my reason which I really hate to explain.

Meanwhile, I decided to put this look together since....March! I know bad bad bad. But then I do like to bring out an outfit that has been living in my head at the snap of a finger. I bought the shoes for my birthday(March :0) as well as the bowtie. That's how long ago the outfit has been put together.

These all fit into my intro paragraph just to say, I can sometimes vent with my outfits. I feel like a real woman inside with real emotions as well as the little masculinity helping me stay strong through life's roller coaster. I'm thankful though, and I have prayed to God to let the next six months of this year be reflective of something positive in my life.

OUTFIT:
Jezebel slouchy pants- Online
Striped Leotard shirt- thrifted
Red bowtie- Ebay
Handbag- Olivia and Joy
Caged wedges- Ebay.co.uk
