Black on Black on Black...with white polka dots

A night out in New England during Winter and early Spring usually doesn't consist of skirts or dresses, at least for me. I remember a friend of mine once told me that sexy people don't feel cold....i guess I'm not sexy [enough] haha. I hate the cold weather and I will do anything humanly possible to stay warm even if it means wearing a million sweaters and even more socks :/ I absolutely cannot do cold weather, I just can't! I wore this outfit with TWO sweaters and my jacket haha. I am a loser *facepalm* lol I am moving down south after I graduate - far, far, FAR away from snow and ice!

In my opinion, there's really nothing sexier than a woman wearing black fashionably. I think it adds some mystery to her presence and keeps people intrigued and interested to know more....maybe that's just me! I even considered dying my hair black once but decided against it after a lot of thought. I might go a really rich dark brown or even a dark reddish-brown...if that exists! But I don't think black hair would look good against my skin.

Today is a sunny, gorgeous day out and I can finally go out and take some pictures :) But, seriously, wish me luck! lol I can't have another failed shoot lol


Yours Truly,

There's no place like home...

Yes, I am one of those very girly girls and I LOVE girly things....just in case you may have been thinking it! lol It took me a long time to admit that to myself because for some reason I never thought I was that girly.

I thought I would give you a sneak peek of what I wore this weekend in Houston! Pale yellow lace and red pumps (which, by the way, is my new favorite pair). I considered, only for a brief moment, wearing nude or black pump with the dress but then I thought black would be too safe and boring and nude with pale yellow?? I wasn't too sure!


I'm about to head out to visit a few friends so have a great day! :)

Back in Bean Town

In Cambridge looking at Boston :)

Hello, Hello! I am back on blogger and back in Boston! My trip to Houston was FANTASTIC! The weather was pleasant, my family was amazing and the food, oh, the food! It feels like I'm back home from vacation :( The good news is my friends are coming to town this weekend and to say I'm excited is an understatement!

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend just as much as I enjoyed mine. I took soooo many pictures and I can't wait to put a few of them up! I may have to recreate my looks because I was so caught up in photographing my beautiful sister and her fiancee that I forgot to get any pictures of me.

Anyway, I need to head to bed! I literally just arrived and I didn't get much sleep my entire trip.

Goodnight lovelies!


Yours Truly,

Two Faces

I have had these wedges since the beginning of winter but lacked the ambition and guts to wear them out in the cold so FINALLY they have come out and are ready to be taken for a spin lol. They are half black patent and half black suede! Cool, isn't it? I couldn't resist buying them especially since they look so cute and girly!

I am about to head out to the airport so GOODBYE BOSTON and HELLOOOO HOUSTON! I cannot wait for a weekend of nice weather :)

TGIF! Have a blast guys!

Neon + Leather

Today is a not-so-great day! It's snowing/raining, it's cold, I'm sick and I have a quiz which I completely forgot about! I had my highs, now I guess life is handing me my lows! *sigh* My plan of action is to study, study, study through my sore throat and poor weather with a cup of tea and lemon in one hand and a blue highlighter in the other not to mention some serious prayer. I always get through things like this....I think? lol

Anyway, tomorrow I'm heading to Houston to spend some time with my family and I can't wait to see them! My sister recently got engaged and her fiancee's family is coming down to meet us and spend  some time with us. It should be exciting plus I get to see my three ADORABLE, GORGEOUS nieces :) :)

 AND next weekend, two of my really really really good friends (except Somi - my bestie/sister from another mother - who can't make it because of Mid-terms :( ) are coming the Boston for the weekend. I guess I have another high coming my way. I also plan on getting my very own DSLR Camera, suggestions are welcome! :) I'm looking for one that will give me crisp, professional-looking images at all times....but without the four-figure price tag.

Now back to le outfit! Im wearing an H&M neon shirt with a leather skirt paired with my black ankle boots as well as large clutch designed by a Ghanaian bag designer from New York named Akuaa. I got that bag from a Harvard African Cultural event about 2 years ago and I haven't, not even for a moment, had any regrets about that purchase!

Anyway, back to studying! :)


Yours Truly,
