Affordable fashion & realistic life tips for the young, growing woman.

I don’t think I’ve ever followed the “no white after Labor Day” rule, but as I was brainstorming this post, I figured I’d actually look up why it was supposedly a rule to begin with. In short, it was another way to differentiate …

I purchased this dress from NastyGal and thought it would be the perfect vacation dress. To coordinate, I bought Deion this two-tone denim shirt from ASOS. I recommended he put the white tank top underneath, but other than that, the pants and shoes were really his doing. I believe …

Y’all know what’s funny?

I went thrift shopping early last month to avoid procrastinating like I did last month, and I still didn’t have this post live on time. But last month I did. That may be a sign that I need to shop the Thursday before the …

Picture this … you plan on taking a day trip to a new city. You’re packing as minimally as possible, so you wear an outfit that you can easily dress up, just in case you find yourself in a fancy location. The most you’d need to bring is a pair of heels to change into, a …

What I love the most about floral print is how versatile it is. You get so many different colors in the print to potentially bring out a little more, whether it’s your shoe color, jacket, jewelry, or even makeup. That. …

I am, in fact, still in love with puff sleeves. It has been a thing for me for at least the last two years.

I live for the drama.

The pizazz.

All of the razzle dazzle.

This jumpsuit is doing it for me. Almost as easy as putting on a dress but just barely missing the mark. It’s the one you put on when the event is all about you, because it’s definitely going to turn …

I feel your disappointment of not seeing a bunch of pink on your screen right now. It was a fun four days, I know, I just had to break it up a little bit. I blame it on these leather trousers from BOA that fit me so damn well that I didn’t have a choice but to put an outfit together with …

It’s giving trophy wife.

Queen of the household.

An ex-corporate girlie that spends her days working on her passion.

A week before Christmas, I was laid off from a role that I had only been in for 6 weeks, and while it can be seen as unfortunate …

2022 was a good year.

Not “2022 would’ve been a good year if” this or “2022 would’ve been a good year if” that, just a really good year that I may even go as far as saying was great. I experienced a lot of new things, started a few great habits, and overall, maintained a good mental space. I say overall because maybe about …

The number one thing that I hear from people once they find out I’m a virgo is something related to perfectionism. It’s very much true in my case and it has always been. I kept my room pristine without being asked, never left the house without my bed made, my teddy bears and dolls were perfectly arranged and I always had a method to how …

In the age of social media being a profitable hobby, just about anyone can rack up a large enough following to quit their day jobs. For some, it takes a lot of time and effort to gain the attention of such a large audience, which is absolutely okay. Others, however, have it quite …

The mind is a very powerful tool once you learn how to use it to your advantage. You can literally manifest anything you want when you combine it with the drive to make it happen. Not too long ago, I saw a tweet that said “the key to manifestation is to think about what you want like it’s already yours,” and that really resonated with me. Just the …

I don’t know about y’all, but it’s just something about all this “new” that motivating me a lot more than a typical new year does. I’ve adopted a new mindset, I’m all about my inner peace, and instead of sharing my goals for 2020, I’m working on them in complete silence. Maybe it’s because of how bad I want it, or maybe it’s because …

As I embark on my 23rd year of life, I thought I’d take the time to do a little self reflection. You know, just really sit down and let my mind freely think about the good and bad experiences in my life thus far. I’m grateful that the good outnumber the bad, but …

… And if you needed someone to tell you to do the same, you’ve come to the right place. I’ll never be the one to front for the internet like I have it all together, because I honestly … AND truly …

I’m just going to come right out and say that our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Not everyone gets to say that their wedding day went exactly how they envisioned for it to go, but here I am, 4 months later, still thinking …

Let me start out by saying I started this post on September 5th of last year. That was almost exactly 6 months out from Deion and I’s wedding date. As of today, April 4th, 2021, we’re just two days …

We have a budget we’re comfortable with, a theme we’re excited about … now it’s time to begin the hunt to bring it all to life!

There are several vendors you’ll find yourself contacting throughout your wedding planning journey, but to keep yourself from becoming overwhelmed, I would recommend starting with vendors that a) will fill a larger portion of your budget, and b) may be harder to book the closer you get to

Now … onto the fun stuff. In my first wedding planning post, I discussed where to begin with planning your own wedding, and I dove into talking about coming up with a realistic budget in addition to the tools that I’ve used to do so and a couple …

Picture this: You’re in middle school. You have zero knowledge about serious relationships but you just know you want to get married some day. Maybe it’s because as a part of the wedding planning process you get to try on beautiful …
