For the past… Continue reading Embracing My African Roots at the 11th Annual ACANA Festival 🇱🇷✊🏿
If you're a height-challenged girl like myself (5ft), then you know how frustrating it can be to find clothes that fit our petite stature. I can't tell you how many jeans fit perfectly at the hips but have to be tucked under at the ankles or the amount of dress pants that drag at the… Continue reading Rompers: The Perfect Short Girl-Friendly Outfit!💁🏾💃🏾

Confession. This is my first official "haul" so I'm not too sure how many items are required to be considered a haul but anyway... My birthday was last Friday and no I'm not done celebrating!
