"Cray"

Hi guys!!!!! It's been forever since I posted I know, but life for me right now is going the speed of a Japanese Bullet Train, and I am just holding on for dear life. Anywhoo, not gonna bore you with the details of my forever hectic life but, instead lets move forward and discuss my outfit........

 I thrifted this organza like material A-line skirt many moons ago and decided to pair it with a Forever 21  crop top, my "All Chains" Jefferey Campbells, and gold accessories. I LOVE this skirt! The picture doesn't really capture the beauty of the rich emerald green color.

 I honestly forgot that I had these babies in my shoe repertoire'. I bought them for my birthday in March and  I first wore them HERE. Unfortunately I haven't worn them since...*sigh*

Happy Monday!... P.S I am South Africa bound in 12 days.....can you say EXCITED!!!

"Bright"

Yellow is definitely not my color, but unfortunately my camera wanted to turn my shirt and purse that are actually lime green to this bright yellow. I am in LOVE with this purse that I recently purchased from Asos, it adds the perfect pop of color to everything.

I paired this shirt with a pair of silk like harem pants, my London Trash leopard platforms ( yes I broke down and bought another pair....LOL) and a pair of awesome earrings from Badacious.

I love these earrings, but unfortunately after about two hours they start to hurt something terrible. I am not sure if it is this particular style, because I own two other pair of their earrings and I have no problems. You can see the other ones I have worn HERE and HERE.

"Mrs. Carter"

This past Saturday the day finally arrived where I was able to truly experience the "Mrs. Carter" tour.  I did see her at The Essence Festival a couple of weeks ago, but Saturday was a completely different experience. My seat that I went through hell and high water to get months ago were amazing! The Atlanta crowd had a completely different energy, her energy was different, even mine was different. The show nothing short of amazing. I am a HUGE Beyonce' fan, but I can unbiasely say that she is really walking in her destiny. She is definitely supposed to be on that stage doing what she is doing.Check out some of the pictures I captured below.

I found this amazing,comfortable paisley print two piece set at the thrift store the day of the concert for $4! I planned on wearing something totally different, but once I tried it on, I fell in love with the fit and how unbelievably comfortable it was. I wish I would've gotten a more detailed picture, but as always I was in a rush.

Here is a close up of the accessories I wore to jazz up my outfit. I found this amazing necklace at a vintage store when I was in New Orleans. It is hard to see, but it is a Nefertiti head in the middle of a snake.
Have any of you guys seen the show yet? What did you think?

"Trilla"

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend because it went by entirely too fast for me. I caught up on some work Friday and Sunday, but on Saturday I did go see Mrs.Carter. Her show was nothing short of amazing, and I can't wait to share pictures, videos and my OOTN with you all later this week. Anyways I ran across this comic shirt while online a couple of months ago, and immediately fell in LOVE!

I paired it with some cut off shorts, my new favorite "Trilla Gorilla" Melody Eshani gold chain and my lime green Chuck Taylor sneaks, which I recently scored from one of my favorite consignment shops.

I swear I am still on love with my Senegalese twists. The convenience of not having to a John Brown thing except wash it and and oil it daily  the past month has been beyond amazing. They do get annoying because they are so long, but my girl Qrush Velvet hooked me up with this cool french braid as a way of keeping them out of my way.

Happy Monday dolls! xoxo

"Fancy June Review"

Oh my goodness, I really can not believe it is July, and that we are already half way through 2013. I don't know about you, but I am NOT a fan of summer. The heat, humidity, sun, sweat, inability to maintain a hairstyle....sheesh, I will pass. I am anxiously awaiting fall which by far is my favorite season. I am especially excited for this fall because I will be checking off one of the things on my "bucket list"by going to South Africa for 12 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can NOT wait, and I am really excited to share my experience with you guys. Anyways, here is a summary of my June OOTD posts. It is hard for me to pick which was my favorite, but if I had to choose I think I would go with the Rottweiler T-Shirt dress post I did HERE.

 

What was your favorite look?

" A Fashion Homage....Doris Megger"

Hey dolls! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mine was restful, but I was able to finally wear these amazing pieces that were sent to me from Doris Megger to review. When they arrived in the mail I immediately fell in love with the colors, the print, and the quality of both the skirt and blouse. Doris Megger is a German fashion designer who has been creating beautiful pieces for curvy women since 2007. The luxury clothing line is mostly made of stretch silk, cashmere, or high-end jersey material. I was impressed with the different pieces, and beyond excited to know that a plus-sized couture line is now an option for us! Check out how I styled the beautiful pieces below....

I decided to separate the skirt and blouse in this look. . I wore the shirt by itself with jeans in a completely different look which I will share with you all later. On this day I paired a lace blouse, statement accessories, and my London Trash platforms.

I detached the silk bow from the blouse and added to the back of my bun as a cool hair accessory.

Look at the beautiful detail in the skirt. The fit was comfortable and true to size.

"Back at It"

Hey dolls!!! I am back! I really did not plan on taking this long of a break, but hey man life happens....literally. I am still on my constant grind, but I am really going to make a conscience effort to carve out time to dedicate to the one thing that I truly have a passion for. I hope you all are enjoying your summer and staying cool. I decided to get some Senegalese twists a couple of weeks ago, because I wanted to try a different protective style than my normal sew in. My hair is so thick and natural, so maintaining it while working out five times a week became a real challenge. Needless to say I am in love with my new do. Totally maintenance free and so many styling options.

I wore this adorable denim skater dress a couple of weeks ago to a fashion show. I purchased it from Asos a very long time ago and actually wore it in a post HERE. I paired it with my favorite Jeffery Campbell platforms and a thrifted clutch and my staple gold necklaces.

How adorable is this book/magazine clutch. My bestest fashion boo Neshanta from Style is She actually found this for me when we payed a visit to a Goodwill about a month ago. I thought it was so nice of her to pass it to me, because we all know how it is when you thrift, it's every fashionista for themselves!...LOL

Here's how I styled the dress last fall during the colder months. Which look do you like best?

"Sex in the City...in Houston"

Hey ladies. Here are the Houston pictures I captured with my friends last weekend. I wanted to share with you my OOTN pictures and other images that I captured. This trip was especially epic because the entire Sex in the City Crew hasn't been together collectively in about five years. We have seen each other separately but this was the first time the entire crew has been together. These girls are my heart and we have been friends for 16 years! We all love fashion and have our own unique styles, personality, and a friendship that is going on almost two decades...hence the name "Sex in the City"...LOL. We adopted the name about five years ago and trust me the characters truly match the ones in the movie. So without further adieu, my clique......

MIRANDA

My personality and style is very much Miranda. I am very strong minded ,business savy and funny.

CARRIE

Carrie is no other than my girl Eureka. She is the most daring out of the three of us when it comes to fashion. Her style and boldness truly inspires me. She is a beast when is come to hair and adding that extra funk on things. She is the one responsible for my long side braid above which I fell in love with. When it comes to natural hair she is the Messiah, I have nickname her the hair natzi...LOL. You can check out her style and hair blog HERE

Samantha

Sheila is Samantha because of her sexiness and witty sarcasm. She has such a sweet spirit, and is always the voice of reason. I love the heck outta this girl!!

Charlotte

Cindy is Charlotte because she is very conservative in all the ways that you can be conservative. She is also a very positive person who in the 16 years I have known her I can count on one hand how many times I have her sad. She is truly the strongest and most beautiful person I know.

A special shout out to Centerria and Shayla who drove to Houston with Sheila and Eureka. It was my first time meeting these ladies and they were both super sweet. They vibed with my girls and I perfectly. Until next time......
