Chestnut Hill in the Blue Dress

Amazing Photos by Ramzi Yamusah! :) I'm completely in love with them

Fun in the "sun". It was cold, windy... and cold and I was wearing a thin blue dress (not the best combo). We made the most of it though. Special thanks to helper 1 and helper 2 (Marietta and Armstrong), they really held their through it. Thank you, thank you and thank you again.

Another collaboration with Ramzi and I must say he completely blew me away with the photos. I love all the pictures he sent, it was hard picking my favorite ones especially since all of them were AH-mazing! Looking forward to more collaborations for le blog! Check out his work at http://www.mr233gq.com/

About the look, it's a simple dress for s simple night out with the girls. I found those shoes at Steve Madden and for all of you obsessed with the CL Pigalle pump this is a REALLY good look alike. It's also pretty comfortable :)


The weekend is over but we have next weekend to look forward to...right? lol OH and don't forget to like my facebook page for blog updates just click here

Baroque Me!

Two must-haves this season are Baroque prints and nude strappy sandals to compliment your spring/summer dresses.

In true Steve Madden style my nude shoes are a very good look-a-like for the Schutz spiked sandal heel which was priced at about $300. Steve Madden offers them for only a third of that price.

You can tone this look down some more by wearing silver or nude flats  or even adding gold accents instead of silver ones.

Two more weeks till it's officially spring! :D


HAPPY MONDAY!

Have an amazing week

Before Isaac Hit

Ok this post was supposed to be put up the week Hurricane Isaac hit Louisiana and it wasn't because well...I had to evacuate. I made sure I slept through the entire thing lol. This was my last weekend on New Orleans and ALL the other interns had left so I decided to go back to the French Quarter just to look around, eat some beignets and say my goodbyes.

First week of school is over and I have to say, I am actually happy to be back. This semester is definitely going to extra busy so I wont be putting up as many posts as I usually do so sorry in advance.

I have to get back to work now though


Goodnight Lovelies :)

Peachy in Lace

Sunsets in Boston (on good days) are absolutely amazing. I didn't have a good view of the sun actually setting but the light and colors just do it for me. I decided to go simple, sort of casual and with a neutral/nude color palette for this look. I could have worn bright shoes to add that pop of color but honestly i felt like nudes and peaches that day.


Hope you week has been goo so far :)


Yours Truly,

PS: Yes, I am wearing two different heels. I wanted to try the outfit with both heels so I made my cousin carry the other pair of heels while we walked so I could change into them for le pictures lol. Don't judge me lol I just wanted to try different things with that one look

Subtly Colorful Sunsets

When the hair tie broke lol

Bonjour! Bonjour! Today, I am sooo sooo happy and I have no clue why! lol I've been all smiles for the last week or so and I really can't say that theres been a reason. Hey! Who am I to complain! lol
It's just interesting how I have a cold and a 10-page paper to write for my Anthropology class (which, by the way, I haven't started yet) and I'm still all smiles and zero panic. I guess I just woke up on the right side of bed today (and for last 8 days)!

Anyway, as you all can tell I am wearing my new babies (the nude booties) with my outfit. :) I was so excited when I got them I just had to wear them with one of my looks this week. I decided to tie my hair up for this particular look but then the hair tie broke and I didn't have extras so I had to let my hair down. It was kinda funny! We worked through it though and now i present to you two different looks - hair up and hair down. Take your pick! haha

 I am wearing my booties with a shirt from H&M and a maxi skirt. H&M has a way of surprising me a lot - this season (and the last) they seem to have very unique ( and on-trend) pieces, like the shirt I'm wearing. I was just drawn to it and it fits in perfectly with the trends this Spring. You all should make a trip there and patiently scour through the store, I guarantee you will find something that will make you go "Wow!" :) ANDDD Marni for H&M is coming soon! So keeps your eyes and ears out :)

Right now, I need to concentrate on the blank page which is soon to be a complete 10-page paper :). Wish me luck!

Au Revoir Mes Amis!

The New Addition...

Everybody, say hello to my new pair of heels! As soon as I saw this baby I knew she was the one for me lol.

I've been looking everywhere for a nice pair of nude booties and finally I found THE ONE at Zara. This will be the perfect transition heel from Winter to Spring and knowing New England weather I'm gonna need booties until May. It's moments like these I wish I were back home in Ghana where its warm all year round *sigh*

The weekend is almost over and it's almost time to start preparing for the new week. Don't you just hate Sunday nights ugh! But as they say, its not over until it's over! :p :)

Live it up until midnight! :)
