Hello Brooklyn, How Ya Doin?

I wore this ensemble to church because if you can't wear sequins for the Lord, where can you wear them?

Back To School Guide 2013

My last post before I am called back to work and I must admit that I feel some kind of way (in spite of my fabulous top from DPipertwins!)

It's Getting Hot In Here

  Hey people! Thanks for the congratulatory comments from my post about my New York trip and special shoutout to reader Simplybee for the suggestions, I will be taking you up on as many of those as I can!

I wanted to share a little tidbit with y'all....

Lucky Me!

Why is this woman smiling?????

Dare Greatly

  

Leap of Faith

I have been described as animated, impetuous, talkative, tactless, and forthright

but I have never been described as stagnant....

Why Worry

"Look me in my face: I ain't got no worries!" ~Lil Wayne

 

I Be Representing, Representing....

I am still in Mike Jones mode, it's actually lasting a little longer than usual this go round.

So what does that mean for you? A blog post of course!

Pink & Pampered Pedicures

I have been slacking....

The Fast & The Furious

Things have been crazy busy in my life as of late.

Marinate on This Mindset

I have recently been reminded of how our mindset affects our actions.....

New Beginnings

All good things are coming to an end. Yesterday was officially my last day of my summer vacation and next week is the finale of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta. Speaking of Love and Hip Hop, I have many issues with this week's episode...

Growth Spurt

I have been trying to get my head wrapped around a lot of things that have happened in the past two weeks. I guess the recurring theme is that people are fallible. We all mess up, we make mistakes, we act out when we feel vulnerable or afraid and we sometimes hurt people that we care about.

Pajama Jam!

I scored these pants from the thrift store. I think they are pajamas. But I don't care. They make me feel like I'm on vacation in a tropical location. Or one of those ladies who lunches. Which is where I wore them. To lunch, not a tropical vacation...*sigh*...

I Ain't Here For That

I was reading Awesomely Luvvie's blog (and laughing hysterically of course, if you don't know her, check her out) and she wrote 5 Things She Wasn't Here For based on Steen's Tumblr post so I thought I'd tell yall 5 Things I'm Not Here For too.

(I've wanted these shoes ever since I pinned them on Pinterest.)

In The Fashionista's Closet: Pete and Repeat (2 Outfit Posts)

Running errands outfit, planned on doing lots of walking so I needed *gasp* flats, lol. I do wear flats more often in my real life lately, some days call for flats.

In The Fashionista's Closet: Hope Floats

Thanks to everyone for the kind words in regard to my last post, I appreciate it so much. I was feeling some kind of way last week but I loved the comment that Chioma left for me:
"Leave it with God and move on, remember whatever He has for you is already yours and nobody can take it away."

 I agree with this....

In The Fashionista's Closet: Maya's Words

I was going to title this post "No Words" because I don't really feel like talking right now....But I figured I would use some quotes from Maya Angelou to describe what I'm feeling.

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” ~Maya Angelou

In The Fashionista's Closet: Facebook Follies

Here are some reposts of my recent Facebook status updates:

In The Fashionista's Closet: Judge Not

This pretty much sums up my weekend. Food, friends, drinks. Repeat.

Dress: H&M

Bangles: InPink/Forever 21

Earrings: Beauty Supply

Clutch: Rampage

Shoes: Jessica Simpson

Have you ever been ashamed to admit that you like a song? A song that you would be mortified to play in front of your mom? I have one. I've been playing it all weekend. Constantly. I can't even link the video I'm so ashamed. The song is called "Ayy Ladies" by Travis Porter but it's not for the feint of heart. The lyrics are terrible but the beat is awesome. I've been told that I have hood taste in music but I prefer the term "well-rounded", I listen to everything. From the Dixie Chicks to Nas to Robert Glasper to...well, Travis Porter. So if you see a woman dancing really hard in her car and clapping her hands on Interstate 20, that's probably me listening to Ayy Ladies. Don't judge.
