Hey guys! It's been a little over a month since I last posted(crazy right!?). I know it's been awhile, but man time flew. I've been swamped with finishing up the semester at school and of course it's been out of control at work. I was lucky enough to have the past two days off, but in my defense I did work the day before Thanksgiving and on the actual day so I'd like to think I've earned it.
With all that going on I was still able to film a little mini haul video with clothes that I got from my LA trip, and now I have some fun stuff I got this weekend from the black friday sales. So I may be filming another video soon, and I'm definitely going to get a outfit post up here next week.
I also just wanted to thank you all for reading(even if I'm not a consistent blogger) and still supporting me. I have so many new projects that I want to start and finding time to do it all has proven to be hard, but I'm determined to get some stuff done over Christmas break so stay tuned! Hope you guys had a great holiday and ate lots of yummy food! Byeeee <3
Hello guys! I've come back to the real world(not an easy transition) but I've missed blogging and getting dressed up for something other than school. As you all know I was in California two weeks ago and have been MIA for awhile. The trip was much needed and I absolutely loved LA. I did a lot of touristy sight seeing and even shopped at the American Apparel Factory Store which I've been dying to go to. The only set back was missing my flight back home and having to stay at the airport for the last flight back to Houston, which of course with my luck was delayed so I didn't get back home until 3am. Surprisingly I did really well on the tests I had the same morning so I guess it didn't really ruin anything.
I got this romper from the factory store and you can't imagine how hard it was for me not to get all of the patterned/colored ones. I have a similar one from Urban Outfitters but the fit on this one is a lot tighter and shorter. I like having some of my rompers a bit oversized and some fitted so this was just what I needed. Since it's black I can wear literally any color shoes and even throw a printed jacket or cardigan over it, perfect for transitioning into fall right?
Though I may have not been updating on my blog this month I was adding new videos to my YouTube account, I even put a short video together from my time in Cali so I'll link it below if you guys wanna check it out! I also did a few interviews and had features on different blogs/natural hair websites so I'll put those below as well. Hope you all are having a good start of the week so far! Byeeee <3

Hey there beautiful people! I spent this past week getting caught up in class and studying for my first tests this semester but I had something in mind for what I was going to post about. I've decided to mix it up and do ootd videos for my weekly posts, so tell me if you're liking this idea! I really enjoy filming bits of my day and what I'm doing/who I'm hanging out with so this might become a regular thing for my blog.
This outfit was dedicated to the Last Day of Summer which was September 22. It was actually a really pretty day until it started to rain(right when I decided to shoot exactly). I was dressed perfectly for the humid aftermath though. I found these khaki overalls at a local resale shop and almost died, you guys know I live in overalls/playsuits. Of course I kept it simple and opted for my comfy birks and a basic 3/4 sleeve shirt. You may have also noticed how big my hair has gotten, I don't even know what to do with it anymore but I'm thinking of coloring it back dark. Perfect for Fall, right? I'll talk to you guys real soon, kbye <3333

Questions from Samio
1) What would be your perfect day out?
Being able to have time to get dressed up(been missing that now that I have work/school basically every day) and go downtown with my friends or anywhere with cute outside shops and just explore. Even just walking around somewhere new is a nice time, I wouldn't necessarily have to shop.
3) What’s your favourite and worst thing about blogging?
Favorite thing would be all of the people I've met through my blog, I still think it's crazy that people read and have conversations with me on my blog. I'm very grateful for all of you guys!
Worst thing is having to edit my pictures which I rarely do just because it takes too much time. I've been super lazy about it and will just shoot in really good lighting.
4) If you could meet any blogger, who would it be and why?
I can't chose one! I'm really into Tasha Green, Beautycrush, and I Dress Myself right now. All three are UK based and are absolute babes.
5) What do notice first when you meet a person?
Their face which it sounds pretty obvious but I'll notice their features first.
2) Museum or Art gallery?
Art Galleries, I've only been to one in the city I live in but I enjoy it every time.
6) What is your all time favourite song?
Katy Perry- One Of the Boys. I listened to her through out high school and this song was my anthem.
7) Heels or flats?
Heels, specifically platforms! Or heeled ankle boots!
8) Do you prefer being at home or travelling?
I'm definitely a homebody in my everyday life but I love to travel even if its just to another city.
9) If you had 10 minutes to get out of your house and leave, never to return, what would you grab and why? (Not including people)
My pups! They're my little babies. If it was something materialistic I'd probably go for all my shoes.
10) What are you most grateful for in life?
My mother even though she drives me crazy. She's played the role as a mother and dad, which I know must of been hard and I can't thank her enough for doing so much for my siblings and I.
11) Where do you hope to take your blog in the future?
I think all bloggers eventually want to make it their full time job. I'd love to do this as my career, it'd be amazing not having to work in retail anymore and put my all into my blogging.

2) What blogger/bloggers inspired you to start your own blog?
