OOTD: It's Been A LOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGG Time Coming

HELLO BABIES!!!!

It has been far tooooooooooo long since I have last posted. I feel like such a terrible blogger. I was in Miami for a week and was without a computer AND internet. This week I have been busy with move in back to campus. I am definitely back for good and I want to say that I have missed you guys sooooo much. I want to thank all my followers new and old. You guys inspire me to keep blogging. I love you guys soooo much!!!! 

This outfit came to me when I was back home and I kept it in mind and finally got to wear it earlier today. Mixed prints have been all the rage and I'm proud that I got to fashion the trend successfully (well at least I think so).

Live. Laugh. Love Thrift.

OOTD: Lips, Lace, and Leopard

HELLO BABES!!

I feel so fabulous today that I can just kiss somebody . . . I feel sooo ALIVE!!!!!!!! IDK what has gotten into me but I'm going to ride this high as long as I can. Today, I knew I wanted to dress up and show off my new hair. Yesterday, I got my hair flat ironed and trim to get rid of my ratty ends. This outfit just came to me (like out of nowhere) and I LOVE IT!!!

Anywho, Monday will make seven months since I went fully natural and I'm loving every moment of it. After I got my hair did... yes did.. I went to get my first lipstick (of my life) from Mac. I see all the fierce bloggers wearing their luscious lip colors so I wanted to be FIERCE as well. I hope you guys like it.

My new favorite things: lace and leopard are also starring in this outfit. You guys already know how much I love lace.. but its a crop top.. YESSSSSSS two fierce trends in ONE. The funny thing about this top is that as far I could tell, it was the last one left in Rainbow. I actually saw it in another costumer's hands and KNEW I had to have it.  Thankfully, she put it down after complaining about the price of $7. I was SOOOOOOOO happy. As soon as she walked away, I scooped it up with the quickness. As they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure.. THANK YOU random lady!!

Also, animal prints get me EVERY time. I found this lovely number in Goodwill and I knew I had to have it. (as ALWAYS) It had the ugliest pattern towards the bottom of the hem so I asked the tailor to cut it off and re-hem the skirt. Yes before the alteration, it was pattern mixing gone bad. The most interesting part about these two pieces is that they are both from the straight sizes section. The top is a Large and the skirt is an XL... Yes, you will never know what will fit so I always suggest that people try on EVERYTHING.

Well that's it for now lovelies. Shout out to my girl Shersy for allowing me to borrow her camera. I am soooo grateful because the photos came out great. Always love to my mom for taking them!

I hope all of you are as happy as I am today!!

XOXO

EBEW: Mixed Prints

Hello Beautifuls,

These are the FINAL photos from Antigua. At the time I envisioned and wore this outfit,  I was just planning on finding a away to remix my FAVVVVVVV floral skirt  that I wear as anything BUT a skirt.  That was until EBEW came out with the "Mixed Prints" challenge. However, I'm still willing to create more ways to wear that gem of a floral skirt. As you can see, I've created three different looks already!

Anywho, the pattern on the dress turned shirt is very subtle but it's a pattern nonetheless so I thought this outfit would be perfect for the challenge. This is one of my FAV outfits of all time and I'm definitely going to wear it again and again. I was VERYYYYYYYYY disappointed when I missed the "Thrift" challenge. Just imagine, the thriftshionista missing that. I couldn't just let this challenge get away from me this time! 

I am not for following trends, but most of us can agree. TRENDS are hot. Mixing prints can be a tacky endeavor or a fierce success. How do you think I did? Who has been mixing prints lately/? I'd love to know!!

XOXO

OOTN/OOTD: I Couldn't Help But Be A Tourist

GOOD MORNING!!

Happy Tuesday to all. I decided to combine two posts in one because I had taken few photos of each outfit. The title of this post sparked because the receptionist of the hotel told me, "Your mother fits in here, but you look like a tourist." I found it to be extremely funny because most Antiguans are dark-complexioned and there I was walking around and sticking out with a lighter complexion. I also did not dress like the other girls my age in their urban brands. Well... I enjoyed every moment of looking like a tourist!!! 

XOXO

OOTD: She Got Color Blocked

GOOD NIGHT PEOPLE!!

I told myself that I would post once a day, but right now I am up with nothing to do so I thought I would just go ahead and post. SOOOOO.... I FINALLY got to color block!!!!!!!! I've been watching the trend for months now and I thought I'd never find pieces that I wanted to use to make an entire outfit. I am really glad about how this outfit turned out. The skirt is actually a sundress (purchased September 2009) that I folded over...What makes these photos great is the beautiful background. These photos were taken at a tourist attraction called Devil's Bridge. The history of this place goes back to the days of slavery when slaves would throw their babies into the rough seas so that they would never feel the grasp of slavery and other horrific events. Even through the murkiness of the past, we can all agree.. this place is BREATHTAKING.. Oh hey, do me a favor and like my Facebook page if you haven't done so already. CLICK HERE Love you guys!

Enjoy :)

What's your favorite trends of this season? Have you tried color blocking?
