All Black

On a cold winter night, I attended a Christmas party in Chicago- an "All Black" event.

Pardon the picture quality...it was expected due to the nature of the venue.

2014 is right around the corner, and I reflect on my life; my journey through 2013. If I decide to tell it all, I'd be writing a book. However, I am eternally grateful and I look forward to the coming year!

I hope this year has been good to you as it has been to me.

"A" For Effort

The semester is over!!

Grades just came in and I am ecstatic!!! I couldn't be happier.

OK, this would be the second and last time that I would talk about a course grade...but I just wanted to fill you in on the 2nd 8 weeks for community health as stated here.

Fortunately, Community health wasn't as challenging as Psych, but it was demanding. From clinical projects (visitations, filming, scripting, etc) to classroom duties (exams, projects, presentation...), it almost became overwhelming! However, I continued to dedicate my time to all of that, hence my absence on the blog. 

My plans for the break: apply for career jobs, call up hospitals for my final senior project and begin studying for my Exit HESI. Phew!

I hope to accomplish them all.

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!

Fried Philly

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...

Watch the video here

Congratulations, Ciara!!!

Ciara just shared an exciting news with family, friends and fans via her Instagram page.

She's engaged to her beau, Future!!!

If you know me well, you'd know she's one artist that I've adored from the beginning. 

I wish her and her king the happiest of moments to come.

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.

Trend Alert: Full Skirts

Hi guys!

For the past few days, I've come across this particular trend. From bloggers to runways to celebrities, I spotted the full skirt.

I'm a fan of mini skirts only because my small tush allows it. However, I'm I'm in love with the way this skirt looks and the many ways it can be paired. It's the fall season, so it makes perfect sense to wear a lengthy skirt.

Below are some of my favorite pairings:

The sweater and skirt trend is definitely something to look out for this fall.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
