Happy Thanksgiving!!!

There's so much I'm thankful for that if I had to list them out, it'd be a biography!

However, I'm very much thankful for my life, my family, the few friends I have in my life, my education/career, and the many other things God has made possible.

My beautiful family

Thanksgiving is so different this year. Usually, every year, my mom hosts thanksgiving dinner. But since three of my sibs won't be home this year, they decided to take a drive down to a family member's home to dine...this only means Christmas celebration WILL be massive!


Have a fruitful one guys. I'm thankful for your lives as well.

Hello there!

Hi guys. It's been a while, I know.
The semester is slowing coming to an end, and with that comes projects and papers and exams and...

Tomorrow marks the beginning of our Thanksgiving break, but I'll spend a portion of it doing some more school work.

So I saw "The Best Man Holiday" this weekend.  First of all, if you haven't seen it, make sure you do. The movie was filled with laughter and tears. There are lessons to be learned and will, at the end, leave you evaluating  your life. From family, to friends, forgiveness, gratuity, guilt, fun, love, forgiveness, acceptance, and the list goes on.

All I can say is cherish every moment!

My dress is from ASOS

Fried Philly





My West African beaus

Birthday gal!


Top- T.J. Maxx, Skirt- F21 (old, alternative Here), Pumps- ALDO(alternative Here), Scarf (old) , Bag- Target (old)

I absolutely loved my Fried Philly sushi! All time fav.

Hey guys! So last weekend, a friend of mine came to town to celebrate her birthday and we headed to St. Louis to chillax. We went to have sushi, and man..Fried Philly has never tasted so good! I forgot what my drink was called, (Muay Thai I think), but it was bomb!

For my outfit, the skirt was my first pick. If you've followed my blog for a while or know me personally, you'd know I love my skirts. I love how this particular one; it accentuates my small waist while giving me the curves I never had lol. And because it was a little chilly, I opted for a long sleeve top and paired it with my favorite nude pumps. My hair was on a different level that night, and since I had little time to get ready (was completing my 12 page  research paper all day), I turned my scarf to a turban. 

We had a great time at The Landing, and a fun night overall.

Halloween 2013: Best Costumes

Halloween was yesterday, and while I skipped the celebration this year, I enjoyed the creativity spotted in celebs and based on that, here are my favorite celeb costumes:

Jimmy Kimmel as a Disney princess

Miley Cyrus as Lil Kim
Paris Hilton as Miley Cyrus
Ellen as Nicki Minaj
Heidi Klum as an older version of herself
Demi Lovato as a zombie
Fabolous as Micheal Jackson

Zendaya as Aaliyah
From the photos I've seen on websites, it looks like a lot of people dresses up as Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke (from their VMA performance).

Happy new month y'all!

"The Proposal"

I came accross a video on YouTube and I thought it was beautiful and creative how Justin proposed to his girlfriend Emily. It'll have you in tears.

It won't play on any site, so you have to watch it on his YouTube page...

Strips & Polka Dots



Sweater- Macy's (alternative here), Skirt- F21 (Old, alternative here), Accessories- F21, Shoes- BCBG (old, similar here





Hey guys! I just wanted to show you how I styled the sweater and skirt trend.
I had no trouble picking out the sweater, but when it came down to pick a bottom, I had to choose between the bell skirt, a skater skirt, or a pencil skirt.
I chose to pair the skirt with the sweater, disregarding the different textile patterns.



Thanks for stopping by.
