#GoalGetter

Happy New Year!! I know it's about two weeks in...but the year seems like it is already flying by so fast! With school & work I really have to find time to do what I love...blogging! Which brings me to my 2018 goals. Last year I saw a lot of people post on social media under other peoples accounts #goals and I also saw myself looking at other accounts and thinking #Goals right?! While aspiring to be like someone else is not bad at all, you want to make sure you don't take it to an unhealthy level. I started to wonder what if I just aspired to be my best self? 

For 2018, I am my own #Goals! Yes I am still working on getting my body right (I turn 30 this year!), and working on myself and my relationships, however me at my best is my #Goals! It may be simple and cliché, but I am striving to just be a better me in 2018 and hope that everyone does the same. You should be your own goals because nobody can be better at being you...then you right? I asked God to reveal to me areas in my life that needed improvement and He has surely answered my prayers! I will continuing writing down and striving towards my goals and thanking God everyday that I am the best at being me!

In the words of Yvonne Orji (From Insecure) If you ever see or read something that attributes her success being other than God, then it has been altered because God has given her everything she has today.

So under a pic of my hubby and I...#marriagegoals....my friends and I...#friendshipgoals ...my body...that's right-->> #BodyGoals! Here's to 2018 and being your own goals!

This year I am also working on #blogginggoals and being more consistent with my YouTube videos and blog content. I am my own #stylegoals hehe...and I am loving co-ord pieces for 2018. Can you say instant outfit? These are for the girl who wants all the style without all the work. Rock a two-piece fit and be instantly stylish. All you have to add are accessories. I saw this piece on GoJane and had to have it. Is it olive green or gray? Not sure but its cute! The oversized look is trendy plus midi skirts are a must have in my closet. I paired the look with some fierce booties, a simple cross body and oversized sunglasses to finish off the look. Now that what's I call...#Goals

Sweater Weather

Hey loves, I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving! I am so blessed and thankful to have all my family here with me and was able to spend the day with them. I love Thanksgiving,  the food is great of course but most importantly spending time with loved ones. I am making a conscious decision to live a life of gratitude, meaning thanking God everyday for everything and to never forget what He has done for me. 

Well it's officially sweater weather here in Florida and I am here for it! It's still sunny here but it is getting to the low 60s at night time and I am loving it. I have purchasedjust a few sweaters, like five or so (hehe) and I can't wait to wear them all, weather permitting.

This one is from Forever 21. I love off the shoulder tops, the exposed shoulder is classy especially when it's only one sided. Oversized sweaters look great on all body types and styled with a skinny jean creates the perfect balanced look.  The lantern sleeve is trending this Fall, I saw some styles at Zara and was so happy to see some at Forever 21 for a more
affordable price.

But the showatopper of this look are these nude patent leather booties! I saw these on Shoe Dazzle and had to get them. They are the perfect heel height and are so sexy, yet comfortable. They were $9.99! (If it's your first purchase) or $39.95. I love bargain shopping! Will be bringing new Fall looks and yes I will have a sewing DIY soon!

Red, White & Blue

Happy Memorial Day!

This day is set aside not just to go to the beach and BBQ, but to remember all who have given their lives fighting for freedom. Though observed only in America I remember every person who has ever fought no matter their nationality. Being Nigerian and Jamaica but raised in America, I have a lot to celebrate. I always loved using my style to identify with everything that makes me..me! Although some may say wearing red, white and blue can be cheesy during patriotic holidays there is always a way to upgrade an outfit to be more stylish! So for all the patriotic holidays here is some style inspiration! 

Style a midi dress with a denim chambray shirt and slides for an effortless chic look.

I added a pop of color with a red head wrap using Ankara fabric my father sent me from Nigeria and a red lip.

I finished off the look with a blue and white nautical cross-body and a denim choker. 

Outfit Details:

Midi Dress: Ross

Chambray shirt: Ross

Slides: SoleMates (by way of Style Encore)

Head wrap: DIY

Choker: DIY

Sunglasses: Amazon

Cross body: Aldo (Sold Out)

Lip: MAC rubywoo

Hey Loves!

You all know how much I love new trends! This summer you are going to be seeing a lot of bright and colorful clothes and accessories like the pom pom shoes! These cute little pom POM's can be seen on heels, sandals, shirts, bags, etc and add some cute colorfullness to any outfit to make it pop. Seeing these shoes made me want to DIY them and also do a shoe revamp!

 I had some old heels that needed some TLC, so I stopped by my local craft store and picked up some pom poms for less than $5.00 and some suede string because I wanted pom pom tassles which is totally optional. Have fun with this and do whatever your heart desires!

New Year, New Things..Classic Neutrals

Happy New Year!

This is my first blog post of the new year and I am so excited about all the content I have planned for you all this year! Make sure to keep up with me by following me on social media :) Links are below!

I pray you all are having a great first week of 2017. It's a New Year and I declare New Things! Not just material things..but new goals, new influences, new everything! 

Let's first start off with new shoes and a bag! My hubby, who is awesome by the way and hopefully you will seeing more of him soon, gifted me with my first high end purchase! In my opinion, when you start to purchase more high end pieces start with classics that will never go out of style. I went with the classic Christian Louboutin nude So Kates and I LOVE THEM! They are the definition of style and class and are a great pair to add to your shoe collection. 

Anything will go beautifully with these shoes but for this look I am loving neutrals. My hubby also gifted me the Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Tote in the perfect tan color that goes with everything. If you know me, I keep a brown tote with me at all times! If you also know me I am a bargain shopper and although I may splurge once in a while, styling high and low end pieces can definitely pull your look together! 

For example, this light nude duster that I purchased on Amazon (Yes Amazon) for less than $30 really pulled this look together. I am loving this duster! You all will probably see it a lot more this year! Along with the neutrals theme I wore a plan white shirt and white skinny jeans to focus the look on the jacket and shoes and voila! A simple neutral look that is classic  and you are ready for the New Year!
