Sweet Sweet summer nights…finally got off my hermit backside and made an effort to do something instead of post behind a computer.

Got the rare opportunity to see Ms. Lauryn Hill LIVE @ The House of Blues in Orlando, Florida. She sang some of her hits and my favorites including “Doo Wop”, “Killing Me Softly” along with some classic Fugee-la tunes as well as covers by the great Bob Marley.

Here’s a little bit of my “crude” video skills…show was amazing though!

Despite all the rumors, falsehoods and actual facts that surround the enigma that is Lauryn Hill…her voice was on point. She was everything I imagined and more colliding hip hop, r&b and reggae to a ‘packed like sardines’ House of Blues. Tickets were a little over 60 bucks, but the experience was definitely a beautiful one. I think what warmed my heart the most was when she brought this multitude of children onto the stage including 17 year old Zion and had them freestyle for the crowd.

Forever a fan,

Fete-A-Quete: Flash Tattoos

by Filed Under: STYLE Leave a Comment

For my sexy accessory-crazed feter-fashionistas, flash tattoos are a sexy, simple temporary way to keep your style minimal and “barely there” for those fun summer day or beach parties and wining through the night till morning.

These pieces are perfect for the girl that can’t stand losing or ruining her jewelry in a fete or the cumbersome feeling of always having to rearrange your “look” after jumping up or wining on anything.

These metallic temporary tattoos are non-toxic and last 4-6 days and can be easily removed as they are to put on. Available in a set of 3-4 pages of unique and beautiful designs. Price ranges from $20.00 to $30.00

Absolutely love these henna-inspired designs; simple enough for a beach fete.

Mid-summer Accessory Haul

by Filed Under: BLOG, STYLE Leave a Comment

My Mid-Summer Haul
So I finally got some time to post about my mini shopping spree for some summer essentials… That will most likely make it past summer into fall and winter if I get super creative.
Flower Clip: Asos.com (on sale for $6.00 in more colors)

The green version of my pair of flower clips…

Top: H&M ($14.95)
Middle: H&M ($14.95)
Bottom: Cotton On ID necklace 
Definitely into metallics because these literally go with ANYTHING. 
I especially love this “scaly”-like choker necklace thats a muted rose gold which I can pair with silver and gold accessories. Love when I can find a medium between two extremes….

NastyGal: Chris Mirrored Aviators ($18.00)
NastyGal.com :90’s Belmont Rounds ($18.00)
No shade…..ha! I got these babies from nastygal.com on sale for less than 20.00 each and they have been taking turns hiding my people-watching peepers plus I can turn on my sexy beach babe or get into a cool hippie vibe when I’m ready with these looks. 
Asos.com: Pieces Gadada Beaded Tube Necklace ($26.00)
Now this was worth every penny…I promise!!!!!… I love anything thats colorful and resembles “ethnic” pieces. This necklace reminds me so much of the African Masai necklaces.

If I could get my hands on hers.. I’d die a happy death… Sigh.
Khephera’s Sun: Custom Made Ring (valued at $32.00)
One of my faves…
Forever 21: less than $10.00

Love these earrings and they’re my country colors… Too bad I got em post Independence Day…

H&M: $8.95

And these vibrant and stretchy bracelets…
And there ends my accessory haul…for now at least.
Check me out in “real-time” on Youtube yapping about my ‘Mid-Summer Haul’…and let me know what you think!!! I’m new to this Youtube thing so excuse the poor editing skills haha. 

Xoxo,

#OOTN African Print…channeling my inner Solange

by Filed Under: STYLE Leave a Comment

 

So long have I waited to rock this neon pink/green African print dress aka “Boxing Kitten Magic Eye Dress” ($40.00 on sale at UO) and found the perfect opportunity at a friends bday bash on the West Side. Paired it with some black cut-out wedge sandals (about $30.00/Lulu’s) and a gold collar ($25/UO). I got a lot of compliments from this dress and Im glad I took the risk to be a little daring as the summer is ending and we’re getting into more darker colors for fall, but hey who cares about trends anyway. This look cost me less than $100.00 and is definitely wearable again. Oh and happy birthday to one of my besties!
