A romper and a faux suede jacket, the perfect fall combination

I am a graduate of Clark Atlanta University and being a graduate of a HBCU, homecoming is a big deal. Not only is attending homecoming a big deal, what you wear is very important. I love putting together my homecoming outfit as it gives me great joy inside LOL. This year I decided to try something different. I usually wear black or red but instead I wore a cream colored romper by Free People from Macys paired with an American Rag forest green jacket. Yes, I wore a romper in m

My Spontaneously Fun DC Weekend

Happy Monday! In a previous blog post a mentioned how I love Mondays because it is a fresh start to a new week.

Four great products for oily skin

Having oily skin can be very frustrating especially if you are a makeup wearer. You will spend a good thirty minutes beating your face and as soon as you walk out of the house your makeup has dissolved. It is a struggle. The best way to control the oil on your face is to use skincare products that are strictly for oily or combination/oily skin. These products include oil free moisturizers(if you have oily skin it is best to moisturize with an oil free product) and oil free fa

Lace-Trimmed Blouses and Distressed Jeans

While running errands earlier this week I decided to go in Ross to see what I could frugally find(shopping in ross on a budget is extremely easy). During my search I came across a really cute black lace trimmed blouse(13.99) and a pair of distressed cropped jeans(13.99). I was just about to head to the register but I made my way over to the shoes. I love shoes and being able to find my favorite brands for under fifty dollars means the world to me(LOL).

Four Inexpensive Highlighters to Try

I have four amazing highlighters by Milani and they are absolutely gorgeous. Not only do they give off a nice finish they are affordable. After Glow I recommend this shade for the lighter skin tones because it has a light pink undertone to it. I tried this on my skin and did not like the finish. However I used this one while doing makeup for fare skinned client it looked really good on her. Day Glow This can be used on light to medium skin tones. It had a very golden/peachy

Pretty in Hot Pink

Pink is such a pretty color and I love all different shades of pink. However hot pink is EPIC! It grabs attention, it is vibrant, and looks good on any woman. Pink has been my favorite color since I was a little girl and here's why... Pink is a delicate color that means sweet, nice, playful, cute, romantic, charming, feminine, and tenderness. Pink is associated with flowers, cotton candy, and sweetness. It is the color of universal love of oneself and of others. So I came acr

Products to use for long-lasting makeup

As it starts to warm up outside you may notice that your makeup is not lasting as long. The sun and heat just melts it all away which can be very frustrating, especially if you have spent a good 30 to 45 minutes beating your face. I have come across a few good prep, prime and setting products that are good and will prolong your makeup. 1. The MaryKay face primer with SPF15($18). I use this every day even when I am not using my MaryKay foundation. 2. The MaryKay oil matifier($

My mom and I pulled off our Easter tradition at the last minute

I know Easter was on Sunday, but I just wanted to share our easter look. As some of you may know I work at BCBGMaxazria and I came across this really cute top in my store. I purchased it not knowing where I was going to wear it but it was on sale so I could not resist. I could not find one in my moms size so I decided to see if the top was available online and indeed it was available in the factory store. I was super excited. I usually do not get that excited about dressing l

Weather Breaking Outfits

It is warming up outside and we may have some consistency with the temperature from now on. This past weekend we had beautiful weather with sunny skies and the temperature was in the mid 70's .I consider that to be perfect. Because we had such warm weather on Saturday and Sunday, I decided to pull out a pair of shorts, a cropped sweater and a light weight blouse. I did not have to wear a jacket this weekend either which made me very happy. Take a look at some of my "weather b

Worship and Dress Up

I attend church just about every Sunday. Being a southern belle I take my church attire seriously LOL. There is nothing wrong with wanting to worship in style. From my understanding the good Lord wants us to look and feel our best at all times. For the past three Sundays, I put together some outfits that I just wanted to share with you all. On the first Sunday in March I wore a cropped I.N.C sweater and a pair of high waisted pin striped pants from White House Black Market.

Multimasking with COSMEDIX

Did you know that you can use 2 face mask on your face at one time? Well I did not know that until COSMEDIX Skin care introduced me to "multimasking". Everyone's skin is different and your face can have two different skin types. For example, I am oily in my t-zone and the rest of my face is normal to dry. So basically, you can use one mask for one problem and another mask for the other. To treat my t-zone and to take care of the oil build up, I used the COSMEDIX Detox Mask. T
