Month: October 2019

Hello! I hope everyone is having a great week so far. My birthday weekend was a total success, but I am still trying to recuperate! Today I am here to answer a question that I get most often. “Where did you get your outfit?!”

This mixed animal print skirt is from Boohoo. The high split is sexy and fun! Skirts are a statement separate in every wardrobe, so this season have fun with your hemline. You can use minis, midis, and maxis to flirt with your skirt in any day or evening look.

This V back, cropped sweater is also from Boohoo. It is the perfect new season knitwear that is both cozy and cool. The sweater is so comfortable and I love to wear it slightly off my shoulders. You can also go up a size or 2 for a more baggy and slouched look.

My booties are black suede with a leopard chunky heel. I could walk in them for days because the have good support and are super comfy. I love the dainty circle zipper going up the back. These boots are your day to night best friend, keeping you a stylish step ahead of the crowd. They can also be found on the Boohoo site.

My fedora hat is from Boohoo, mixed print earrings are from Forever 21, sunnies from Quay Australia, and the black beaded wrist bag is from Urban outfitters.

Comment below and let me know what you think about this look and how you like rocking your skirts!

31

Happy Birthday to Me!! Today is my 31st Birthday and I am super excited about this new year of life. I am truly blessed to be alive and among the land of the living! 30 flew by so fast and 31 is finally here. Ya girl is aging like fine wine! I use to feel some type of way about getting older but, now I get excited for a new year to take by the reigns and live it out fabulously.

Birthday Love

I absolutely love birthdays! I believe that everyone should feel exceptionally special on their day! And I feel just that! My family and friends have showered me with so much love and well wishes. I just don’t know what to do with myself!

Reflections

As, I reflect on my 30th year of life, I have to say that I have learned so much about myself and I am truly proud of the growth that has taken place. I have definitely stepped out of my comfort zone more than ever and it has felt so amazing! I can’t say this year has been full of highs but when the bumps in the road came, I was able to push through in the midst of it all. I can say that I have learned to handle trials and moments that simply do not feel good much better than the younger version of myself. So, all thanks to God for evolving me into a stronger and more mature woman.

Highlights From Year 30

Highlights from my 30th year include starting my blog! This has been such a special project for me to be able to share and hopefully inspire you guys. Style, fashion and being able to be creative are a few things I enjoy and that make me feel happy and free. I reflect on where I started and the transformation over this year and I’m happy with what I have created. I have some new projects coming up for this next year so I hope you guys stay tuned!

Also, I traveled to Greece –twice this year! It was simply breathtaking both times. Being able to see a different side of the world and take in its beauty was all a reminder to me of how truly amazing God is to create such a captivating world. I tried new foods and y’all know I’m pretty picky and particular when it comes to food/sauces and such lol. I also, learned the mythology of the Greek history which was very interesting and made my childhood history class lessons make a bit more sense. Hahaa!

I also took time to focus on myself more and do more things that made me happy. I am a whole nurse and I couldn’t tell you the last time I made sure my own health was in tact. So loving on myself and self care was a major highlight and vibe for my 30th year.

Again, I am excited to see what year 31 has in store for me! I am already claiming a year full of prosperity, elevation, promotion, happiness , joy, love, peace, laughter and new beginnings. Goodbye 30, Hello 31!!

Hey guys! Today I want to come all the way thru with a few tips on styling a suit with sneakers!! Back in the day suits were mainly worn as a professional look for the office or for Sunday morning church attire. Now, suits have become more fun and flexible. They are not only being worn with cute heels or flats, but with dope sneakers.

This head turning trend has become a musthave wardrobe staple. It’s super edgy and gives off chill vibes. So grab a pen and paper to take notes!

Tip #1: Choose a Bomb Suit!

When choosing your suit you want to be sure it is a good fit. Whether it’s a fitted or baggy suit, it should compliment your figure and shape. As I said earlier, this look gives chill and relaxed vibes. While this is a casual combo, it also serves an edgy and sharp look.

Tip #2: Choose Dope Sneakers

What type of sneaker should you rock with your suit? I’m glad you asked! It depends on the type of suit. If you are wearing a pant suit that has a narrow or cropped leg, your options are wide. You could do low, mid or high top. If you are going with a long wide leg pant suit, then low top would be the best option. If you are rocking a shorts or skirt set, you can get away with any type sneakers, low top, mid top or high top.

In this look, I’ve used mid top Nike Huaraches. They are one of my absolute favs! I also like Converse and Air Max.

Tip #3: Accessorize!!

I am a sucker for unique accessories. I feel that a fun accessory really sets off the suit and sneaker duo. Whether you have a fly graphic tee, fun blouse, pocket square, hat, bag, or cool jewelry, either can complete this look and give it even more style and energy!

I chose to use a budding, gold and pearl earpiece and black beaded hand bag as my wow factors for this look. And who doesn’t love 2 Pac?! The 2 Pac graphic tee is simply another fun element to style up this suit.

I am confident that following these tips will have you slaying the edgy suit and sneaker look! All Eyez on You!!
