Lazy (sun) Days

 Some quick shots of one of my outfits from last weekend in Savannah, GA. I will never get tired of the romantics in that town. Being there makes you want to be in love. Yes, even you. 

Wearing Asos pencil skirt, La Rok top & vintage Dolce & Gabbana sandals.

Diamond Life

Having a couple summer uniforms is very important to me. You guys already know I like to keep things simple. During the humid months that are quickly approaching, simplicity will be my best friend. How do you do this without being basic you may be asking yourself? Never put on anything that doesn't have character in its details. From tiny things like your earrings to your shoes, spice it up. I used to overcompensate a lot with my outfit choices by doing what we call 'too much'. Trying to stand out and look as different as possible, while at the same time trying to be part of the 'hipster' trend so many of my friends were into. I know, I was a hypocrite. Thankfully one day I looked in the mirror and saw a fraud staring back at me. Brought me to my senses with a quickness. Fast-forward to the outfit I put together for you lovely people. Easy staples that can be interchanged a trillion ways. High-waisted shorts, sexy sandals and killer shades (make sure you know the right shape for your face!). You literally can't go wrong.

Something Blue

 

Is it bad that I have a wedding in Atlanta to go to in 5 days and still have no clue what I'm wearing? Yes, probably. Don't get me wrong I've definitely been brainstorming ideas of the perfect sheath, but its not as easy as you think! The thing about weddings (especially African weddings) is every woman present is essentially there to show-out. No, it is never okay to try and upstage the bride, but who said anything about trying to upstage each other (all in good fun of course)? We are women after all, it's in our blood. I found this dress during one of my daily web hunts and had to post it for you all. It has the appropriately sexy wedding vibe that I'm striving for and free flowing fabrics meant for long nights of drink and dance. This wedding is taking place in the south so I also have to keep the heat in mind when choosing fabrics. When you're picking out your own wedding wear for the summer months always take the heat level into account, unless of course you want to be a pit/under boob stain victim. I don't think there's anything more horrifying. Chances are I'm going to be wearing a dress darker than this. That or red.

Wings n' Things

If you know me you know winged eye liner is my thang. On this day I kept it really simple, but my hands have gotten pretty good at liquid liner so I tend to get creative with it especially when I go out at night. I know there are already 1,000 how-to videos and things showing you how to create the perfect cat eye, but I was thinking of putting up my own cat eye how-to on DCO for you lovely people. Thoughts?
