Ms Style Is She Event

It's taken me a decade to tell you guys about the latest event I attended but when I tell you I had a great time! Neshanta from Ms Style is She had an event at Chef Robs a couple weekends ago and we had big thrifty fun. There were some awesome earrings vendors, Motives by Lala Makeup, a thrifted fashion show and some competitions. 

Finichia, Eboni, and Naja

 Rochelle of What RoseReddSaid is absolutely hilarious! I think she was the best host ever. She had me genuinely laughing so hard with her commentary. Check out her blog!

Okay so being one of the top 3 finalists in the blogger mixed prints walk off I had to try and do something to win. So I let my braids down at the end of the runway, thats why you see them up...then down, lol!

Mixed Up

Finally I'm back in the swing of things. I am starting to feel like myself again. Which means I'm back to actually feeling like putting on makeup and I may actually wear heels tomorrow. I attended NeShanta from Ms Style is She's event a couple weekends ago and I had a great time. The bloggers in the print mixing competition had to wear an outfit that featured at least one thrifted piece. 

Blouse: Local Mall Store (but found here) // Skirt: Thrifted // Shoes: Prabal Gurung for Target

The bow on the back on this top excites me so much. Do you ever do that? Fall in love with a piece and buy it because it will go with so much and then end up wearing it once or twice before it finds it way to the back of your closet buried alive. Well I promised myself not to let that happen to this top! You guys keep me accountable, mmmkay?

Bad news. I'm sick. Not sick as a dog (anymore) but was pretty bad for a couple days. Dealing with pneumonia for me is quite different as I've have it a few times because my respiratory system is weak. But while laying around the house for days I've been internet surfing a little and I am really feeling this Porcelain Trend. I even found some really inexpensive buys to get in on it.

I should be back to posting more often in a few days. I feel like I'm getting my energy back.

How do you feel about this cute Spring trend?

New York, New York

Finally I made some time to upload my pictures from New York! We had such an awesome time! We stayed at the Aloft Harlem off 125th street. I would most definitely stay there again. It was so cute and a good location to bat. So a weekend of adventures start now. Warning: Picture Overload!

We went on a party boat the first night we were there. The night Sky was so beautiful and of course we sailed past Lady Liberty.

The Brooklyn Flea was a highlight of the trip! I was so overwhelmed with excitement at the prospect of what I'd find. Although I had an awesome time looking around I didn't buy much. To be honest, the prices were a tad bit steeper than what I'm used to. Worth every penny I'm sure but I had to be conservative for the IMATS the next day right!

Erica was pretty excited too!!

This lady STOLE MY HEART! What a perfect outfit. Tee, skinnies, boots, and sequins. My kinda fit.

I met this lovely lady at Brooklyn Flea and was mesmerized by her printed look. I mean come on who can mix two different polka dot prints and so well! Turns out that she owns a Vintage Store in Greensboro, NC (my hometown) called Design Archives Vintage. Even her sunnies and earrings are on point. Make sure to check out the store! I'll definitely be dropping in next time I go home!

The buildings and stoops have so much character in New York. If I were to ever move there I would have to stay in BROOKKLYNNN!

Going to the IMATS was one of my bucket list items. I'm happy I got to go and I loved every minute of it (except the long crazy lines) but I think I'm good on the show now.

I met Queen of Blending!!!! Purchased some Inglot items (amongst many others). And looked at some cool makeup artwork.

Umm, how gorgeous is he??

My boo Shahidah chilling! Hey make sure you check out her new and improved blog!

I think I heading back to New York in September. I was sooo tired when I got back to the A I needed some time to recoup. My legs literally ached for days cause I wasn't used to all the walking. And walking fast at that. I mean I collapsed out of my hotel bed on Sunday morning. And nooooo I didn't wear these boots long! Well maybe about 4 hours but then I changed into flats. Yall NY bloggers got me fooled, lol! I'll know next time how to pack for sure. Can't wait to go back!!!
