Hi Dolls, #sponsored As you may know, I've been shopping my closet and restyling clothes I've worn before. I decided to buy a few clothing pieces for summer, particularly for my upcoming vacation. Fortunately, I was also able to get a closet update  with new dresses and accessories from Torrid. I've never shopped at Torrid before, but I always heard good things about their style of clothing and the quality. I'm very impressed with the dresses! They are light, good quality, easy to style and true to size. For reference, I'm a size 1 in Torrid clothing (14/16).  Whether you need dresses for the office, or you’re attending a summer wedding, cook outs, or Girls Night Out, Torrid has you covered!

Hello, Dolls I'm always stumbling across new and upcoming brands on Instagram. My latest find is accessories by LaVidaRosa Style ! LaVidaRosa Style  is owned by blond-haired bombshell, Pinkie Spann! She has a wide range of jewelry, from earrings (pierced and clip ons) necklaces, and even hair! The styles of jewelry range from trendy, vintage, eclectic, and classic. She recently had a jewelry sale, and I bought several pieces as gifts, and for myself. What I like about LaVidaRosa Style jewelry is that you can find rare pieces that you don't see in an average jewelry store, and her prices are very affordable; a lot of pieces are $5 or less. Scroll on, to find out what I bought! I'm wearing the Black Choker Necklace with Gold Accents ($4) and the Large Triangle earrings.. Earring Haul: My faves are the Hand painted Wooden Africa earrings, Green Tassle, and the Zipper earrings! Necklace Haul: I love beaded necklaces in different colors!  To never miss...

Hello, Dolls! As you probably already know by now that Mac released an Aaliyah collection in the summer. I, for one, was elated! I have been an Aaliyah fan since I was young. I've always loved her music! I was enamored with her style- which was edgy and fly. Her style was the personification of tomboy chic, but she was always a lady. Her untimely death was shocking and hurtful to say the least. Nevertheless, I'm still an Aaliyah fan, and her music is always on rotation in my car and Ipod.  When I first heard rumors of there being a petition for Mac to create a  makeup collection for her, I was skeptical; but, after doing research, I found out that it was legit. I signed that petition back in 2016, (which reached over 26,000 signatures) and finally I heard news of the upcoming collection! Seeing that I'm a big Mac and Aaliyah fan, purchasing from this collection was a must! I knew before seeing it that I wanted to get everything; but, my bank account...

Hello, Dolls The limited edition Girl with Curves x Lane Bryant collection was released last month! Tanesha Awasthi, better known as  Girl With Curves , is a fellow beauty, style and lifestyle blogger that I have been following for years. She announced a few months ago that she was releasing a limited edition collection with Lane Bryant, and I couldn't be more excited for her!!! I have always admired her style, which is fashionable, tasteful and effortless. She features outfits that accentuates her beautiful curves without sacrificing class and modesty.  Her collection is described as " From cozy sweaters and capes elevated by luxe details, expertly pleated skirts, dresses and coats in deep navy and berry tones, floaty blouses and smart layering pieces, to the best fitting jeans you'll ever own, the collection is the perfect blend of classic style infused with a put-together-yet-practical aesthetic."  From the pictures on her  Instagram  profile, I kne...

Hello, Dolls I hope you all are doing good. I've been doing well, just MIA. What's been going on with me? Just dealing with life's twists and turns, and trying to stay sane :-). I got the chance to go to The Makeup Show  last month! I haven't been in 4 years; so, I was so excited to attend again! I couldn't wait to listen to the seminars, and buy some products that I had been holding off on getting. Pat McGrath station Cover Girl station I learned... Since I rode the bus up, it didn't allow a lot of time to take a lot of seminars. I managed to take two. First, I took How to Achieve Gleaming Skin by Melanie Mills . The second workshop that I took wa s The Insta-Bride: What a Girl Wants  by Megan Gramers. I'll share two new ideas that I learned. 1. I learned that a small amount of   Gleam Body Radiance  can be applied to foundation for glowing skin and a natural looking highlight. She also suggests using Gleam t...

Hello Dolls, I am back, after a long hiatus! Life has been life...unpredictable but enjoyable. Even though, I haven't been posting about my latest beauty musings, I still keep up with the beauty world. Here's a small collection of some of the things that I've purchased. As I was purchasing, I realized that all of the products that I bought are all from black owned makeup businesses! Most of them I found out about on Instagram or from recommendations. If you didn't know, I'm a beauty and product junkie, and I will pretty much buy from anyone as long as I like the product, have a use for it, and if it's a decent price; but, I especially love to support black businesses, especially since there can be a shortage of them; and they often discontinue service for one reason or another. Read on for the details.  The goods! G.L.A.M. Mink Lashes by Samantha Ann (God's Love Abled Me) My love of lashes has grown and I kept hearing so much hype about Mink ...
