Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! My weekend was filled with birthday celebrations and spending time with family and friends. Couldn't ask for a better weekend! Today's look is a very colorful look that centers around this patchwork floral pants that I recently got. I love the pattern on the pants and they are perfect for wearing in the Spring/Summer season. Everywhere I went, everyone told me my pants remind them of the I Dream of Jeannie pants and I couldn't disagree. These pants have a drawstring at the bottom that I synced around the ankle to give off the look. They are very comfortable and very versatile. The colorful floral pattern on the pants make styling them a breeze. Since pink is one of favorite colors, I decided to focus on the pink in the pants by pairing it with a baby pink jacket/blazer. I completed my look with a white tank top, turquoise clutch and a nude strappy heel. Have a great day!
I've always been a Disney fanatic and one of my favorite Disney princess is Ariel from the Little Mermaid. I love her innocents and despite trying to obey her father, she did what she had to do to be with her true love Eric♥. This movie is amazing and one of my favorite song from soundtrack is this one, which I would sing all the time still to this day! This movie is amazing and I watch it everyday:). Recently, I was at Target and I saw this modern day hispter Ariel and knew I had to have it. She is looking extra chic with the nerd glasses so I decided to play on the look by wearing my husband's nerd glasses with my look. I paired my tee with a pair of red pants that have tan dots on them to match Ariel's skin and hair. Then to complete the look, I decided to edge it up by pairing it with combat boots. I had so much fun with this outfit and I hope you guys enjoy the look:).
Hey loves! I recently changed my hair and I wanted to share with you my initial thoughts on it. The hair that I got installed is called the Virgin Peruvian Body Wave from Vinuss.com and I have 4 bundles on my head - 20 in, 18 in, (2) 16 in.
Check out the video below to hear my thoughts and opinion of the new hair:)!
Summers in Miami means two things: hot and rainy. And it pretty much like this all year round! Since it is tends to be very hot and muggy out, I like to wear something that will keep me nice and cool. My go-to summer outfit choice are dresses. I want to be in something that is flowy and feminine and would work great in the Miami heat. I love wearing hi-low dresses, maxi dresses and full length dresses because they are comfortable and they don't require a lot of thought. You put one on, add accessories and you are good to go:).
For today's look, I am wearing a flowy dress that I recently got from Target. I was drawn to this dress because of its colorful pattern and contrasting colors of the blue and green. I also like the the style of it because the dress has a bodice that gives off the illusion of a corset without really having one. On the day we decided to take pictures, it was really breezy out and was a perfect way to showcase how flowy the dress really is:).
Lately, it has been raining a lot here in Miami (which has made taking pictures a bit difficult) but on this day the rain stopped long enough for me take pictures. And the best part about that day was that the sun came out, which we haven't seen in days! I recently purchased this red and blue vest from Zara and I was having a hard time styling it. The pattern on the vest is very busy and I wanted it to be the focal point of the outfit. I played around with a lot of pieces in my closet and none of them made the outfit exciting enough for me. I usually like to plan my outfits the night before but I tend to over think them sometimes which gets a bit frustrating. I decided to come back to the vest another day and immediately an outfit came to mind. I find that sometimes outfit I put together last minute come out better than the ones I plan. I guess it's because I don't over think it and I let my creativity just flow:). For this look, I paired the vest with red pants for a bright look and finished it off a white top with a sneakers print and studded sandals. What I created was a simply but fun and a bright outfit to cheer me up on a rainy day:).
Hair care is a very important step in maintaining and treating our hair especially if you wear hair extensions (weave) like me. I wanted to share with you the items that I use and the steps I go through to make sure that I take care of my actual hair and my hair extensions. I am very active so I tend to sweat a lot in especially in my hair, which leaves it oily, dirty and itchy so every week I like to give hair a deep treatment. The main focus of the my hair care regime are products from a line called Carol's Daughter.
About a month ago, I was in Sephora buying makeup not even
looking for hair care items when I ran in to Nicole, A Carol’s Daughter Sephora
representative, and we started talking about hair care. I mentioned to her that
my biggest issue with sew-in is my itchy scalp. With all the heat and dirt on
my scalp, it turns into an itching fest. Sometimes I scratch so much that it leave
scabs on my head – ouch:/. I’m sure some us of have been there before. Her
solution to that was for me to us an elixir by Carol’s Daughter. She said that I
need to treat and hydrate my scalp to prevent the itching and she said that the
elixir would do the trick. Here are the benefits of the elixir:
A
conditioning scalp and hair oil that moisturizes, soothes and rejuvenates both
the follicle and scalp.
·Basil
Oil increases circulation in the scalp
·Peppermint

She also mentioned using a leave-in conditioner in between washes
to help treat my scalp and keep my extension looking good. And as an added
bonus, the product smells sooo good so it will keep hair smelling fresh. Here
are the benefits of the leave-in conditioner:

With all the information I got from Nicole about taking care of my hair and the products to use, I went home that night and came up with a new hair care routine and I am very happy with the results. My scalp doesn't itch as much as it did in the past and extensions look healthy. Check out my video below to see the steps I take to treat and care for my actual hair and my extensions.
Who knew that overalls would make a come back! They were vastly popular in the 80s and 90s because of how comfortable there were and now they are back! Overalls can be a challenge to style because if not styled correctly, they can make you look like a little kid or a farmer. It's all about finding a balance and making them look as modern as possible. Not only can they be practical but very stylish as well. For my look today, I went a chic laid back look by pairing these corduroy overalls that I got from the thrift store with a basic tank top and dressed it up with accessories. To make the overalls a bit more feminine, I rolled up my pant legs and completed my look with wedges.
Don't be afraid of trying out this style and remember you don''t have to break the bank for this trend. Check out your local thrift stores to find a pair and make the look your own:).
