Hi Fashionistas,

Happy Thursday. I hope everyone has been enjoying their week and making the best of it. I wanted to share with you my look from Easter Sunday. As i spent it with my family which is always a good time when we get together.

I enjoy wearing light colors especially pastel colors. I was able to finally wear this amazing dress from my favorite store New York and Company. It is from the eva mendes collection and i was able to pay only $20 dollars for the dress which was a steal. I love the colors and the mix of burgundy and pinks. I paired the outfit with a light blush pink blazer and these amazing sparkly blush color shoes from DSW.

I really loved the whole look and enjoyed hearing an amazing word on that day from my pastor. I hope you enjoy the look. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy Tuesday . Hope everyone had a great weekend. It has been a long one for me but i realized expressing my fashion and sense of style on this platform makes me feel so good and cheers me up especially the support that i get from all of you.

This was one of my recent work looks that i adore. This floral skirt with lace detail is so amazing and the material was so great as well. I wore a lace button down shirt and added a leather trench vest to make the look pop. If you havent notice i love trench vest and have been doing a lot of DIY ones on my own like this one.

These over the knee boots are so comfortable as they were from C wonder a store that is no longer here whomp whomp lol. Well i hope you enjoy this look. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

We are almost closer to the end of the work week and I’m so looking forward to the weekend.

So I know you wondering about the title and yes I am talking about bum bum cream lol. This product by sol Janeiro is amazing. It states that it is for the bum bum but it works amazing on your legs and thighs.

I have been using it for the past three weeks and I love it.  It is an amazing product as it smells so good.

I totally think everyone should try this. I can’t wait to show how amazing my legs look once the weather is better :).

If you tried this product I love to hear your thoughts on it. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy Tuesday, Hope everyone had a great weekend. I was able to spend mines doing so spring cleaning. I’m currently cleaning out my closets which is long overdue and very much needed. If you have been following me for awhile then you know how much i love fringe. When i found this skirt at my local thrift store i almost want to do a cartwheel, back flip and run around the store literally because i loved the skirt. The fact it was my size made it perfect for me.

The Skirt i only paid drum-roll please…..$9.oo yes that’s right and it had the tags attached to it so it was still new. The retail price was $129.00. I decided i wanted to make the skirt standout so i paired it with a simple black long sleeve top and wore some leopard studded pumps.

I actually wore this look to an event i was able to attend which i will talk about soon. It was perfect. I would wear this look for special occasion or a regular date night with the hubs. I, hope you enjoy the look , until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy Tuesday hope everyone had a great Easter weekend. I must say my weekend was so amazing. I was able to spend time with my family and attend church to hear and amazing word. If you follow me on snap chat then you heard the extra word my pastor gave to me and my husband.

When i saw this suit at target i knew i had to get it. I waited too long at the time it came out but the thrift store to the rescue lol. I love thrifting and i have to say over time i have gotten very good and know where to go and what to find.

I have a tendency to match everything so when i realized i had the matching stockings i had to laugh at myself. The whole look was super cute and perfect. It was actually one of my work looks but also would use to go on an interview as well.

I hope you enjoy this look. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy Tuesday. I hope everyone had a great weekend. My weekend was all about relaxation and really not doing anything except trying to clean up my house and sort through clean clothing. Now that spring time is here it is time to do spring cleaning. If you know me then you know i love to shop but lately i have been shopping my closet lately and it has been so much fun. The ideas and styling are endless and it gives me the chance to wear certain items more than once ( I know don’t judge me lol).

This flair metallic gold and black designed skirt i love as it gave me a vintage feel and vibe. I wanted to dress it down by wearing it with a denim button down shirt. I paired it with some black boots and my black motor jacket for the extra touch.

This skirt was so amazing and i can pair it in so many ways. I would wear it with a crop top and denim jacket with some flats or sandles to give it a different touch. Even wearing some converse would change it up as well. I hope you enjoy this look. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Hope everyone is doing well and getting started on their work week on the right foot.

I wanted to talk with you about nails yes nails. As ladies we often lime to keep up with the hottest trends. For me I love a simple manicure.

Whether it’s nude or bright colors.

One of my favorite polishes are by Sally Hansen.  I recently had the opportunity to try out their all in one manicure polish and I must say I love it.

According to this particular one it’s a base coat and polish in one. I have to say that it’s long lasting . Mines lasted a week before chipping.

If you add a good top coat every few days it can last longer in my experience.

The polish is usually seven dollars at your local drug store.

I love this blue number 550 blue my mind.

Purple is my favorite color perfect for spring number 365 what in carnation

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy thursday we are almost at the end of this work week and excited as well cause it has been a long and stressful one.

I wanted to bring back thrifted Thursdays where I showcase a thrifted item and show you how I style it. This grey sweater is so amazing it has a peplum touch to it and zipper detail along which makes it so sexy.

I paired it with a grey stonewash jean and boots. I wore my favorite moto jacket. If you want to add extra spark add vintage brooches. I have been so obessed with them they make the perfect look for any jacket.

Hope you enjoy this look. Until next time.

HI Fashionistas,

Today will not be your normal post hence the name of it but I feel I needed to get this off my chest.

I have been going back and forth about this for sometime now as I  wanted a right way to go about it without bashing or throwing shade as we like to say lol.

Blogging was a way for me to bring out my creative side and bring to you my love of fashion and all things that I enjoy and make me happy.

Now I will say the road is often difficult as there are bumps you may come across from time to time. What makes me upset is when people use this platform for negativity and bashing instead of uplifting and supporting one another. Which is what I thought this was about.

Never in my dreams would I have thought we as minority women would take the time out and bash one another or be negative especially when you should be thankful about the platform that you were blessed with.

Yes blessed with because success does not come overnight and just the way you work hard to get where you are it can all be taken away just like that.

Now I’m not hear to preach but just wanted to get the message out there cause my goal is to always uplift and inspire women and young girls especially of minority race.

Instead of being negative or spreading negativity. Think before speaking or doing because actions speak louder than words.

Review on Avon Perfectly Matte Lipstick

Hi Fashionistas,

This post is a little different from the normal fashion post. I wanted to take the time out and talk with you about some recent beauty products I have been testing out.

If you do not know I love makeup. A few years ago I would not have dare to try makeup as I refused and did not see the point.  Fast forward and im obessed.

One of my favorite products are lipsticks and I am a huge fan of matte lipsticks. So when I was sent these new Avon Matte lipsticks to try out I was thrilled.

Avon has been around for years and we mostly know it as the company that our mothers and grandmother’s order from. Over the recent years Avon has drawn attention to the younger consumers with their products.

What I love about Avon is that they are affordable so you are not breaking the bank. There were three different colors that I tried out. 

The first was called Adoring Love. This color is a bright pink color. The color was pretty but I personally did not think it suited my face.

image

The next color was wild cherry. This had the Burgendy undertones and it was actually my favorite color. I loved how it looked on me.

image

The last color was Red Supreme. I am a huge fan of red lipstick and this one did not disappoint as it is a deeper red that can be worn everyday basis.

image

These colors can be found on the avon website. There are 12 amazing colors in all and they are on sale for $6 which is a bargain. 

image

I overall love the lipsticks as they stay on for a good amount of time and it does not leave your lips feeling dry.  So it is actually a moisture matte lipstick.

I hope you enjoy this post and look forward to seeing more beauty and product reviews coming soon.
