I can’t get enough of skirts in the summertime! The maxi is a definite love but what really makes me wanna skip through a meadow is a great-fitting circle skirt… the midi, more specifically. What better way to represent at a breakfast and hair care line presentation with the crew at SoftSheen-Carson than to get a little ‘dolled-up’ with my (relatively) new favorite BRIGHT floral midi skirt! Skirt: H&M | Cropped Cotton Blazer (old): Forever 21 | White Tank: Target | Shoes: Necessary Clothing | Bag (old): H&M | Necklace: Unknown Because I’ve been ‘cursed’ with a larger *cough* posterior in conjunction with a tiny waist, finding clothing that fits properly can be challenging. I’ve found that an A-line silhouette suits me best and I seldom need to make any adjustments to dresses or skirts of this kind. If any, it’s very minimal. This beauty hits the waist just right and…

Taliah Waajid brought her natural hair expo to NYC for the first time and you know I had to be in the mix! I opted for comfort on day one with a pair of simple flats as I assisted at the EMBRACE Magazine booth. Making a quick appearance on day two to capture some footage, I thought I would finally bring out some bright, funky heels. BOOM! Oversized Button-Down- H&M | Skinny Jeans- H&M | Wedges- Necessary Clothing | Belt- Banana Republic (thrifted) | Sunnies- gifted | Nail Polish- Sinful Colors “Rise and Shine” In a rush and still wanting to keep things simple, I pretty much just threw on the easiest pieces I could. You can’t go wrong with neutrals! I hadn’t worn these jeans in a minute so hey, why not? And this beige shirt… it’s light and super versatile. But I just HAD to spice it up…

We took a little trip to Connecticut a couple Saturdays ago to surprise our friend, a mom-to-be, at Beardsley Park in Bridgeport. It can be risky to plan an outdoor gathering but the weather definitely cooperated during this baby shower. It was a GORGEOUS day! It was also HOT so I opted for this lightweight, blue floral skirt that I bought from the same thrift store as this one for a mere four bucks. Having recently gone through my large collection of tees, I remembered that I might have one that would go perfectly with it. I was right. 🙂 Skirt – Brooklyn Industries (thrifted) | Sandals – Target | Tee – Dr. Jays | Shades – Steve Madden (Daffy’s) Despite the heat, I felt pretty comfy in this getup and thoroughly appreciated that the skirt is lined with cotton… sweet! I had no idea how I’d wear it when I…

It was a rather lazy Tuesday as I was still trying to rest up after a VERY busy two weeks which included going back to work after a year and a half (YAY ME!) while putting the finishing touches on my event on the 15th and THEN an exciting weekend that followed. Woosh! A feeling for some Dallas BBQ grub… aaannnd one of their luscious frozen dranks, Texas size of course, suddenly came over me. And wuddyaknow? Hubby was all for it! We got dressed quickfast and head to Downtown Brooklyn. After filling my belly, I just had to rep for my girl Toni G., creator of the trendy clothing brand Haus of Swag, and snap a couple pics. You may recall that I rocked another one of her creations to an Allen Stone concert last year. Yeah… I own quite a few HoS originals. What can I say? Her…
