Sleek Back.

One thing I love about fashion and beauty is that there are always new trends coming out and it allows me to dare myself into giving it a try. I never used to wear dark or bright lips because I felt that my lips would be the first to enter the room before me. But now, I can’t get enough of them! I love dark colors, one of the reasons why I love fall!

Here’s to trying out a little sleek back hair and dark ombré lips for some fall action.

Rain Rain Go Away

Rainy days always make me feel gloomy. I admit, there are some days that I just want to dress like a bum and other days where I try to wear bright pieces to just lighten up the mood; throw on a bright scarf, add some lipstick and do my hair.

Here’s my outfit of the day from last week when it wouldn’t stop pouring. My two go-to essentials for a rain day are my rain boots and my trench coat!

Fall Lips

Hey dolls! Hope everyone’s had a great start to this season! Fall is my most favorite season mainly because of the fashion side. I love wearing oversized sweaters, knee-high boots and scarves. Here’s a quick makeup of the day post with my favorite go-to fall lip color from Revlon called Black Cherry from a recent OOTD shoot. Keep an eye out for the rest of these pictures in an upcoming blog post.

From the Festivities!

Hey dolls! As I mentioned a few blog posts before, Ganesh Chathurti was going on. From the 9 days it is celebrated, one day is dedicated for the children. Children of all ages can participate in performing a pooja for Ganapathi. I have been doing this every year since I can remember! Dressing up is part of our tradition during the festivals and whenever I get the chance, I always love dressing culturally!

OOTD // What I’m Reading

Hey loves! Hope everyone’s having a great start to August! During the summer, I love reading books in my spare time. Being that I’m going on vacation tomorrow, I wanted to take out a few books to ready on my plane ride.

I’ve heard great things about Dark Places by Gillian Flynn and I enjoyed reading Gone Girl so I figured why not give this one a try. I’m always up for suggestions so feel free to leave some below!

Red, White, & Blue

I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend. I was out of the country on vacation but that didn’t stop me from celebrating our Independence Day! I really love this top from American Rag. It’s simple and comfy yet has minor details, which I love.  Here’s a little snip of my outfit from last week!

Happy Monday!

If you have been following me for awhile, you all probably know that I have a crazy obsession with cardigans; short, medium, long, you name it and I love it. I’m a sucker when it comes to nature and a nice, peaceful atmosphere. Recently, I posted a Celebrity Inspired Look and here are a few more shots from that outfit of the day look! What better way to take advantage of amazing weather and a breathtaking view?

Spring Alert!

Hello, spring!

This past winter has been one of the most brutal ones. I am so over the cold weather and I am ready to soak in the sun and get sun-kissed. The chirpy birds and the breezy, fresh air is the best part about waking up in the morning. It gives me something to look forward to, especially when I start my day so early.

I think it’s time to finally bring out the bright colors and wedges and put away the wool coats and UGGs! With the perfect amount of sunshine and a beautiful scenery in front of me, what better way to take advantage of this?

Here’s my outfit from a few days ago; a fun, flirty, outfit of the day shoot at Fort Totten Park. Enjoy!
