Happy In My Own World

 

Hey guys… I feel like I have been away for soooooo long almost a month. YIKESSSSS!!!! The crazy thing is I have been shooting just have been too busy to update to the blog. So if you missed my fur number last week on Instagram I will try my very best to post it tomorrow. To be honest with you guys, these last few months haven’t been the easiest for me especially this past week having to take a trip to the emergency room. Sucks but S%&T happens right! The funny thing is with each doctor’s visit and trip to the ER I am learning more and more about myself kind of crazy right. But I count it all joy because life will have its ups and downs, ins and outs but that’s what molds and shapes us, and as long as I’m not dying I think I’m doing aightttttttttt!!!!

On another note, have you guys seen the Rita Ora by Adidas collaboration? So in LOVE to say the least. When I spotted this track suit in Adidas the other day I had to have it. It’s fashionable and so comfy. Hello Athleisure! Perfect for just lounging around, shopping, or when your boo comes over. Check out the full collection on the Adidas website.

Crushed

What a whirlwind of a month it has been and I mean that in every sense of the word. Whewwwww Lord! You guys just don’t know. I don’t really want to go into too many details but I’m just so happy things have turned around and are looking up. One thing to always remember when you’re going through something really hard is there are people who are in tougher situations than you are. I know, I know it sounds sooooooo cliché, and the situation you may be facing seems so real to you, but if you can find some sort of light even for a millisecond during those tough times it helps. It’s so important for us to count it all joy and lean on our faith and trust in God. He truly is the One who fills us up and helps us.

I don’t want to sound like I’m preaching but God is sooooooooo good guys really, really, really good. On a lighter note, I am completely crushing over this velvet trend. I picked up these boots and a few others (soon to come to the blog) a few weeks ago and I am in love. They truly are perfect for fall and winter. I decided to pair them with this oversized sweater from Zara for a more relaxed feel. Perfect fall look! Talk to you guys soon. Toodles J

P.S. Omg guys I completely almost forgot to tell you I picked up Jefree Star’s highlighter “King Tut” and let me just tell yall when I say that highlighter is poppin it is P.O.P.P.I.Nnnnnnnnnnn ok thank you mammmmmm because that highlight goodness is nothing to play with. If you have a few extra dollars ($29 to be exact) please pick this up you will not regret it. I am wearing it in today’s look. Ok fa real bye!

Sheer-Tings

I’ve really been into black lately (as you can tell from last week’s post) lol. Something about it is so sleek and edgy whether dressed up or down. So this past weekend this look was perfect for heading to my favorite brunch spot in the city with friends. I decided to go ALL black but played it up with different textures to add a little structure and pizzazz.   

Summer-Time

It’s officially summer in NYC. Whoop…..Whoooooop. J My favorite time of year here. I’m so looking forward to spending my weekends hanging with friends, at festivals, day parties, beaches and doing all the other random things one can stumble upon in the summer. While it won’t reach the 90’s until July, I’m loving the spring feel in the air especially because I can throw on a pair of my favorite jeans and an off the shoulder top and call it a day. Quick and easy!

Monochromatic Vibes

I seriously cannot get enough of this Olive color. So I decided to just plaster it all over my body  because it’s just that awesome lol lol. Keeping it very monochromatic in today’s post. I seriously love the monochromatic trend it’s easy and looks so simple and chic. Who wouldn’t love that combination? On another note I got an amazing new job this week that I’m still in shock about. God definitely answers prayers and comes right on time. So things have been busy busy busy lately with me jumping into the flow of it all but I am elated.

Plaids

I love mixing patterns and prints. For today’s look I did it in a very subtle way, but still love how comfy and fashion forward this look turned out. Plaid has become somewhat of a neutral for me because the possibilities are endless when styling, which I love. What’s your favorite way to style plaids?

Dear New York

Missing home just a tad bit today. I promise you any transplant New Yorker would tell you the same thing. It’s like you love this city and hate it all at the same time. Some days you just need to take a quick break and press restart, if not the city will consume every bit of energy left in you. This is my new home and I don’t regret moving here for one minute I mean after all my life has been nothing short of amazing since moving, but home is where the heart is and some days you just miss it. I guess it all just takes some getting used to and in the year and almost a half I have been here I’m sure you could say I have a lot more things to learn. Here’s to New York!!!!

Chunky Knits

All black chunky knits and leather, what a way to say goodbye to fall and hello to winter. These peep toe knee high laced boots caught my eye almost immediately and their comfy too which makes them a number one fave in my closet right now. I love that they can be added to almost any look to add a touch of spizzazz!

Fall is Here

Its officially Fall, the temperatures here in New York have starting getting cooler and it’s the perfect timing to swap out the short shorts and usher in your leather pieces. I went for sleek with this look; you can never go wrong in all black.

Denim On Denim

I have always loved the denim on denim trend. So casual but chic. Something you can throw on to run errands or for a relaxed date night with the beau. I picked up these high waisted  jeans about a year ago from H&M and have worn them well over 2o times. You  can probably say they’re one of my favorites. I paired it with my denim button up shirt and tied the front to give it a little sass and Whaaa Lahhhh simple date night look made easy J
