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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mines was amazing. I had brunch with two girlfriends on Saturday and on Sunday I spent the day with my husband for valentine’s day. We relaxed earlier in the day having homemade breakfast but in the evening we attended a wedding.

So for this wedding I knew I had an idea of what I wanted to wear. I have been really shopping my closet lately which is always good and saves money lol.

The lace top is actually a dress that o purchased from H &M last year and I love it cause lace adds the extra sexy in an outfit. This gold midi skirt is amazing purchased from a local store by my job. It was actually gifted to me by a friend if mine.

I paired the look with my blue suede frindge boots and for accessories I wore little jewlery as I wanted the outfit to stand out.

Overall I had a great time with my husband with great food and laughter and some dancing.

Hi Fashionistas,

This will be a short post as it has been a long work day.  I wanted to share with you this fun look I wore a few weeks back to an event.

I love sequins and this skirt was amazing and it’s thrifted which is a plus. I got it for 10 dollars which is a steal. I enjoyed wearing it.

I wanted the skirt to stand out so I wore it with a black top and my favorite heels.

Hope you enjoy this look. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

So on October 8 was my birthday and I enjoyed it. This year was not over the top like I would normally do which I was surprised but the year that I had low key was what I wanted.

I mostly spent the day relaxing and went to the nails salon but at night I knew I was going to dinner with my husband.

Faux fur is a great fashion statement and it makes a bold statement with any outfit.

I decided to pair my vest with this striped two piece set. I scored at at express for extremely cheap which is great. Cause we know I love a sale.

I paired it with my grey sling back pumps which are about six inches high and drove me crazy but I loved it.

I’m tying to try and style a little different by taking risks. I hope you enjoy this look. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy Wednesday I know this is a late post but I have been so busy with work that I really have not had time to blog. So my apologies.

Almost two weeks ago I attended the second annual essence street style event. Now I went last year so this was my second time and I overall enjoyed myself.

I feel it was more crowded this year than the previous year so it made it hard to sign up for the makeup and hair event by Shea mositure. There was also a mani service station as well as clothing and food vendors.

I was able to meet fashion stylist to the starts Shaun melson and she was amazing she complimented me on my purse so I was on cloud nine lol.

For my look I knew I wanted to be casual and but cute as well as comfortable. So I wore my two piece set from express with my glitter converse sneakers.

This was also my debut of my hair lol. I rarely wear my natural hair but I decided to and it brought the whole look together. I paired the look with a jean jacket.

If I wanted a more dressy look heels would change the entire look. I hope you enjoy this look. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy thursday. The week is almost over which is why I love short work weeks after a holiday. So although we’re in September the weather sure does not feel like it.

So I wanted to show you a cute look I wore over the weekend. This one piece romper is so cute and it reminds me of a tropical island because of the print.

I paired it with a bold statement necklace and my cute sandals. This is a look you can wear a night out on the town or on a date.

I hope you enjoyed this look. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy thursday. I hope everyone has been having a great week so far. I just wanted to share with you this look I wore a few weeks back to an event.

I had my eye on this dress from express for awhile when I first saw it but refused to pay the full price for it. So when I went back another time and realized it went on sale and I had a coupon. It was a must.

What I love about this dress is that it’s a versatile piece. Today I wore it with sandals and in the fall I can pair it with heels or boots by wearing tights and a blazer.

The print and fit was another reason that draws my attention more to it. The trumpet fit is always my go to for my body shape because it works so well.

I opted to wear flat sandals with the look. The sandals were from aldo which I caught on clearance as well.

For jewelery I wore a statement bracelet and decided to not wear a necklace so the print can stand out.

I hope you enjoy this look. Until next time.

Feeling Blue

Hi Fashionistas,

T.G.I.F Who else besides myself is happy the weekend is approaching.  I’m just excited to not have any major plans this weekend as I have been extremely busy for the past weekends. Looking forward to organizing my house.

I know the title feeling blue can mean many things but for me it’s about this navy blue flowy dress that I scored from NY and Company for only $13 yes you see correctly.

I actually wore thus dress on one of the nights out on the town while I was away in punta cana.  I love how the dress look and feel. You could also wear it without the belt to if you want a different look.

I paired it with my clutch and sandals which were part of my basic trip essentials.  The key to packing is to pack a shoe that goes with most of your outfits. That way you do not overpack.

I loved everything about this look and I’m excited to wear this dress again.  So stay tune and look forward to your comments.
