I often get questions about my hair so I decided to dedicate this week's InstaStyle post to answering those questions:   Q.  Is that your real hair? A.  Yes.   Q.  Is that a wig or weave? A.  No.     Q.  Is your hair relaxed or natural? A.  Relaxed.   Q.  How does your hair stay so healthy? A.  I see my stylist very regularly – at least once every 2 weeks, occassionally I'll throw an extra appointment in between my standing appointment.  Seeing someone regularly who not only knows my hair, but takes care of it plays a big part in my hair health.  I rarely apply heat Read More ...

White Crossbody Bag (Franco Sarto/Marshalls)   If you remember, one of my 5 Spring Must-Haves was a crossbody bag.  Well…TADA!  I have been stopping in Marshalls more and more lately.  There is just something about finding a great deal and my last couple of trips, I've found some great pieces.  A couple of trips ago to Marshalls I saw this bag and I thought it was perfect, except for the color.  I've never bought a white bag and just didn't think I would ever want one.  Well, I went back a few weeks later and there was one bag left.  This time I took it off the hook and tried it Read More ...

Red dress (Zara) | Navy heels (Nine West/DSW) | Watch (c/o ESQ Movado)   I love a cute little dress.  The first time I wore this dress I wore it to a football game with skinny jeans underneath and that look was a huge hit.  For this look, my friend Mikki told me to show off my legs.  I remember when I was younger that I didn't like my legs, because I thought they were too skinny (actually, all of me was too skinny – size 0, anyone?).  It honestly has just been in the last couple of years that I've decided that I love my legs.  They've come a long way.   Read More ...

White v-neck tee (Target) | Navy and white blazer (The Limited) | Skinny jeans (The Limited) Navy heels (Nine West/DSW) | Navy watch (c/o ESQ Movado) | Necklace (The Limited)   I actually posted this last week on Instagram, but since I did 3 looks that week, I decided to spread them out on the blog over 3 weeks.  I love, love, love to wear jeans, a v-neck tee, a jacket, and heels.  It's comfortable, yet stylish.  I saw this jacket when it first came out at The Limited and immediately liked it.  It was a bit more than I wanted to spend, but luckily, I happened to be in Read More ...

Navy blouse (The Limited) | Floral pants (The Limited) | Navy heels (Nine West/DSW) Navy watch (c/o ESQ Movado) | Red lipstick (Ruby Woo/MAC Cosmetics)   Don't you just love the floral pants trend this season?  I'm not typically a trendy person, because I never want to wear what everyone else is wearing.  I mean, what's the point?  When I do go trendy, I want it to be something that I can tuck away in the back of my closet and then pull back out some years from now and call it vintage.  Also, I don't spend a lot on trendy items.  These pants?  I can't remember the exact price Read More ...

The last few weeks I've been thinking about doing something different with my hair.  It had gotten long and boring.  This week, I knew it was time to do something. Anything.  (Ok, not so much anything, but you get what I'm saying.)  I thought about getting it cut into a long angled bob and I thought about layers.  I knew that I wanted to keep the length, because I'm loving my long hair.  The night before my hair appointment I decided on a few layers in the front.  Well, ta-da!  That's what I got!   I got it cut Wednesday and this picture above was right afterwards.  I think I look Read More ...

Oh Shift! Striped shift dress (The Limited) | Earrings (Tiffany & Co.)   I am in love with stripes at the moment.  And shift dresses.  What you can't see in this picture is that the button at the top in the back popped off so I had to wear a black cardigan over this dress.  I tried sewing it back on, but it's a funky kinda button and wasn't easy to get the needle and thread through it, so off to the cleaners this dress and button will go.   Last weekend was another great weekend in Connecticut.  We saw Oblivion in IMAX and can I say, the IMAX experience Read More ...

Black ankle strap heels (Mossimo/Target) | Skinny jeans (The Limited)   Last week I posted my 5 Spring Must Haves and ankle strap heels was on the list.  Well, I found some super cute, super comfortable, and reasonably priced black ankle strap heels with studs at Target.  I wore them for the first time yesterday as part of my travel outfit.  They were easy to slip off and back on in the TSA security line because of the zippered back.       After flying from Charlotte to Atlanta, changing planes in Atlanta, and then flying to Hartford, Connecticut, you would think my feet would be tired from walking the long terminal hallways.  Nope.

Leisure (JustFab)   I ordered this handbag from JustFab last week and it arrived this week.  I had never really checked out their handbags until my girl, Mattie of Mattieologie, did a outfit post with one of their bags.  I thought her bag was super cute, so I headed to their website and this bag immediately caught my eye.  I thought this would be a fun spring and summer bag PLUS I have a couple of pairs of shoes with cork heels that are the colors in the splatter paint.  Also, this bag can be carried as a shoulder bag, crossbody bag, or a clutch.  I can't wait to carry it!   Read More ...

Love tee (Target) | Jacket (The Limited) | Skinny jeans (The Limited) Silver necklace (The Limited) | Love 2-finger ring (Pnk Elephant) | Bracelet (c/o St. John)   I told you guys last week that I was going to see Kendrick Lamar perform this week.  The day of the show I still had no idea what I was going to wear.  I knew I wanted to wear cute, comfortable shoes (I wore black wedge sandals).  At the last minute I grabbed this tee and threw my black jacket and skinny jeans on with it.  I was pleased with the outcome.  I LOVE this tee that I got from Target a couple of Read More ...
