It is my lifelong dream to one day visit my father’s homeland of Liberia, West Africa. A ‘sh*thole country’ in the eyes of some, but beloved by many. Until the day comes, I look forward to learning as much as I can about African culture by attending events like the ACANA Festival. For the past […]
Tag: Affordable Fashion
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 […]
When it comes to affordable fashion, honey, there ain’t no shame in my game! I take pride in being able to dress well on a dime. The earliest display of this was my eight year old self fishing through my mother’s trash to retrieve the black handbag she had discarded while doing some spring cleaning. […]
If there’s one item I’ve been so desperately trying to get my hands on this summer, it would be anything featuring this chain link print! This print was big a few years back and could be found on any high end brand like Michael Kors to more affordable retailers like Forever 21. It is now […]

Summer Dress Haul!!!
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! Today, I was shopping for a dress to wear to dinner. I had my heart set on a black, strapless dress from […]

Summer Faves: Crop Tops & Maxi Dresses
Ok, it’s not officially Summer yet but it sure feels like it here in Philly. Temperatures reached the mid 90’s two days in a row. Needless to say, you don’t want any tight clothing hanging to your body. When it gets like that, a crop top and maxi skirt will do! Maxi skirts are so […]
