Curlfest 2016

 

 

 

Hello, Everyone !!!.

 

Over the weekend, my boyfriend and I went to a natural hair festival known as CurlFest hosted by the lovely ladies of the Curly Girl Collective. I was unable to attend last year so I was happy to bring my boyfriend along with me for my first time. When we arrived at Prospect Park  the line was super long but it moved with ease. Unfortunately by the time we got to the entrance , they were out of goodie bags but I was able to snag some samples from Cantu, Shea Moisture and Tropical Isle. I definitely spotted natural hair youtubers including Actually Ashly, SunkissAlba, Notorious Kia and  Maria Antoinette to name a few. The crowd was filled with natural hair men and women with great style. We left about a hour before the fun ended but we had a blast nonetheless. I will be returning back next year and I will take sure to arrive much earlier and take a lot more pictures.

Tickle Me Pink

Hello, Everyone !!!!.

Today marks the first day of my spring break and I have a lot of catching up to do for school. Hopefully I am able to find time to enjoy the beautiful weather and meet all of the deadlines. On the other hand, I am happy I can start to pull out my sandals each day because I was getting tired of wearing boots. I like to pair these printed pants with blazers for a sophisticated look. I worn them with a white blazer previously on the blog but this week I decided to wear a pink blazer instead with a matching bodysuit underneath.

Hello, Everyone!!!!. 

 

Today I turn 28 years old!!!. I can't believe I am two years away from being 30 however I am definitely grateful to live to see another year. I'm not a big birthday party person because I do not like going to clubs. Normally I just have birthday dinner and drinks with family or friends to celebrate my day. However my boyfriend has made secret plans for me this year. Cue the song, "I'm so excited and I just can't hide it".  The only thing I have to do now is put together an amazing outfit that can get me through the night which I'm still debating as we speak. Now let's get into my last outfit as a 27 year old woman. Although it was very cold yesterday as you can tell by the wind in my hair, I refuse to put away my summer skirts. You can not tell by the photos but I found a cool way to wear this thin midi skirt by wearing skinny jeans underneath rather than stockings which currently I am on the hunky for the perfect skin tone tights to wear with non black skirts and boots. I paired the skirt with a chunky turtleneck sweater dress that I tucked in the front to wear as a top. Finally I accessorized with a oversized wrap coat and cognac accessories.

When in Doubt Wear Camel Cape

Hello, Everyone!!!

Since the beginning of the week, I've been living in my wool capes. They are definitely my go-to outerwear for the warm temperatures we are having this Fall. I paired my camel cape with a black pencil skirt that I own in the color taupe as well. I choose a silk black top with gold buttoms that I wore tucked into the skirt. I accessorized with a leopard print handbag and block heel booties.

Camo Chic

 

 

 

Hello, Everyone!!!!.

 

Thanks to the fall- like temperatures over the weekend I woke up knowing exactly what I was going to wear,  starting with this oversized camouflage jacket. When I brought this camo jacket it was my exact size however after my weight loss it is about two sizes too big but I refuse to throw it away and have decided to wear it oversized from now on. It is best to pair oversized tops or jackets with more form- fitting bottoms to avoid looking disheviled. It was a no- brainer for me to pair my camo jacket with a taupe midi pencil skirt. It may be hard to believe but camo print is a neutral and can be mixed and matched with everything as well as other neutrals. I decided to pair it with taupes and blacks to complete the look. I tucked the black crop top into the taupe skirt to give the illusion of a bodysuit. Obviously I'm in a fall state of mind and choose a vampy purple lipstick instead of the usual pink lipstick and "Voilia" I was ready for my weekend classes.

Pink or Nude

 

 

 

Hello, Everyone!!!.

 

 

Some trends come and go while others stand the test of time. The bodysuit is one of those trends from the 90's that I've worn all the way from childhood until womenhood. The bodysuit has become the new sexy essential in every women's closet. It can easily be tucked in perfectly with anything in your closet from high waisted trousers to any style skirt. I've made it my mission to transition my summer pieces for fall, starting with this pink nude bodysuit from Boohoo. I've paired it with off-white high waisted jeans and minimalist heels. I decided to drape my denim shirt over my shoulders like a cape in anticipation for the cool breeze of the night. I purchased these cool sunglasses from a street festival a few years ago that I never worn. I choose theses nude sunglasses because it complimented the pink bodysuit so well. Lastly I accessorized with a faux snake print handbag and silver choker necklace.
