An LBD (little black dress) always goes far when it comes to fashion; it also works well in the workplace. It's simple, slimming, and looks good on every one. I ran out of ideas to wear to work last week, so, I decided to wear this LBD. I didn't think this outfit was great at all (neither was I having a good hair day); but, I received so many compliments that I decided to post it. I normally wear this dress with leggings underneath, but, this time I decided to wear it by itself. Outfit deets below! What I'm Wearing: -Black Ruched Crochet dress by Avon -Gray Mary Janes from Payless -Jewelry from Avon  To never miss a post, be sure to hit subscribe at the top right!

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, 2017 is coming to a rapid close, in just a few days! I've compiled a list of my favorite things that I've been loving all year. Read on, for the details! Fashion 1. Lilly's Kloset- Lilly's Kloset offers some of the most fashion forward clothing and accessories that I've bought within the year. My most trendiest clothing and shoes of 2017 have been purchased from Lilly’s Kloset. I bought the Multi Color Sequins Cardigan that I wrote about on a previous post from there.  Every time I think I’m going to do good and save some money this week, I get an email from her with a discount code. Did I mention I’m on her VIP email list?! 2. I love love love Forever 21 ! I can always get a  trendy, decent outfit for $25 or less, or more when I want to splurge. Their online sales are crazy, I know for at least four months straight, I was driving to the F21 store near me picking up packages that I had sent to the store. They're so addictive! I bo...

Hello, Dolls A night on the town is always fun! Like so many other people, a night out always causes me to ask myself " What am I going to wear?! " Mind you, my closet and drawers are full . . . so, a shortage of clothing is not the issue. What I really mean is " What am I going to wear that looks good; makes a statement, and everyone hasn't already seen me in?" After many attempts, I finally have at least one go-to staple that I wear when I'm going out. Read on, to find out the deets! My go-to OOTN Staples: 1. A jumpsuit - A jumpsuit is effortless, and instantly makes you look chic and stylishly pulled together. Since it's a one-piece, it takes the guess work and time out of trying to mix & match, and coordinate colors for tops and bottoms. Wearing a jumpsuit that is either asymmetrical, off the shoulder, has a hint of sheer or lace really glams up your outfit to make a statement; on it's own!  Another plus, is that jumpsuits ...

 Hello, Dolls Every year, I obsess over one clothing item and buy tons of it just because I love it so much; even though, my room space and bank account says "don't do it!" Last year, it was coats. This year, it's cardigans; particularly the long cardigans. I love them because you can pair a basic top and bottom, and the cardigan pulls your outfit together, giving you a more polished, effortless appearance; especially if it has a pop of color. My favorite cardigan right now is the Multi Color Sequins Cardigan from Lilly's Kloset !!! I wore this to a concert last night and I absolutely love it! I kept the top, bottom, and jewelry simple because the cardigan was the statement piece! Outfit deets at the bottom! What I'm Wearing -Multi Color Sequins Cardigan from Lilly's Kloset -Black top from Forever 21 -Faux leather leggings from Ashley Stewart -Pumps from Payless -Jewelry from Fashion to Figure Every girl needs at least one item in th...

Hello, Dolls I have been shopping from my makeup stash, (rediscovering products that I've had for a while, but don't use often) and I have fallen in love with the Coloured Raine: Queen of Hearts eyeshadow palette. The foil eyeshadows are so amazingly pigmented; and the shadows blend so effortlessly. I wondered why I haven't used it more. Most of the eyeshadows that I used in this look are from that palette. Here is a quick selfie pic of the look I did. Brows -Mac Spiked Brow pencil Eyes  -Too Faced Shadow insurance as eye primer -Heir shadow as highlight -Your Majesty shadow on half of the lid -Copper-red shadow from Juvia's Place Nubian 1 palette -Ladyship shadow in crease -Royal Perogative shadow as transition color -The Balm Schwing liquid eyeliner -Danessa Myricks Thrive 02 lashes -Danessa Myricks Lock on lash glue Face -Embryolisse Lait-Cre'me Concentre' as face primer -Mac Studio Finish concealer NC45 -Black Opal Liquid Pore Perf...

Hello Dolls, I attended a Trey Songz concert a week ago, the concert was everything!!! I'm a huge fan of Trey Songz; my sisters and I have to see him EVERY time he comes to town! I originally bought a black ruffle neck, off the shoulder jumpsuit to wear to the concert. It fitted smaller than I thought :-( At the very last minute, I had to wear something I already had. Below is what I put together! I originally meant for this post to be a look of the day, but, I wasn't able to get decent pics of my makeup like I wanted. Outfit and makeup deets at the bottom.
