Summer '16 Playlist

 

 

Hello Everyone!!!

 

 

If you live in North America, you know we are experiencing heat waves, left and right from the West to East Coast. I cannot lie this extreme heat makes me not want to do anything but take several trips to the beach to get my summer tan which I did over the weekend with my boyfriend. Any beach day requires tanning oil, towels, beach umbrella and lastly swimwear, I prefer one piece or high waist bottoms. It is not complete without a few good magazines and music. Here are some of my favorite songs of Summer Sixteen and some classic summer jams.

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Summertime

 

 

 

Calvin Harris - This Is What You Came For (Official Video) ft. Rihanna

 

 

Miguel - How Many Drinks? (Remix) ft. Kendrick Lamar  

 

 

Maroon 5 - This Summer's Gonna Hurt Like A Motherf****r (Explicit)  

 

 

Beyoncé - Baby Boy

 

Salt-N-Pepa - Shoop

 

Rihanna- Work

 

 

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.

Fringe Around

 

 

 

Hello Everyone!!!

 

It's been awhile since we last spoke but there are big changes in my life. Not only am I at a criticial point in my  last year of school, but me and my boyfriend are taking measures to prepare and start our own family. I have not been posting any outfit post because I've been busy figuring out real life situations. However we all need a break from reality so me and my boyfriend had a impromptu brunch and movie date. We decided to see the movie "Now You See Me 2" and this is what I wore. The denim jacket was a life saver because for some reason in the summer, the AC is always blasting in the city. I paired the denim jacket with a short sleeve faux suede dress and my overused fringe bag.
