OOTD: Strips and Spikes

Last night was my roommates' birthday!!!! Happy Birthday Farin.

We went to a Mexican restaurant and the food was really good, and so were the Margarita.

Anyway, I kept it simple with a striped racer back top and maroon/oxblood velvet leggings (for texture) and my spike Lita's for a touch of edge.

My makeup was just a simple winged black liner and dark brown lipstick from Black Opal (Ebony Wine)

OOTD: Sequin Cheetah

 Happy Friday AA,

So I've had this top (from Zara) for a couple months now and never had the opportunity to wear it. Then today came, and I looked fantastic. I have no idea why I didn't wear it sooner.
The cooler weather makes this thick top very appropriate and very warm and the sparkles/sequin help brighten up the glumness of the day.

This is also the first time I wore these Chloe wedges and they were super comfortable. I got them for a steal at the Bloomingdale closing sale awhile back (Mall of America).

 Love the leather detail on the knees of my pants, curtsey of the girls section in H&M.

 

 

 

 

TGIF and Happy 25th Birthday to my BF Myke (of Circle of Squares)

runnin on E!

E as in excitement, not empty or ecstasy (although that doesn’t sound to bad, not the drug, but the feeling, i don’t do drugs).

I was shopping with my mother today. Had fun and literally bought a truck load of stuff for my room & bathroom. My color scheme is red/burgundy, cream and brown-y-black. Think Parisian/flapper themed posters etc. I haven’t gotten any paintings and knick-knacks to tie in the room, but I will once I’m settled. I’ll probably stray from the theme, just cuz that’s how I am, but that’s ok.

Today is my mother’s birthday she’s in her late 40’s and I baked her a cake. I’m so sweet, just like the cake was mmm. It’s sad that the ONLY baking I did all summer was the night before I left. I LOVE baking. I’m not really a cook, if you give me a recipe I can follow it and it’ll turn out great, but I can’t cook from memory yet. Just a week or two ago my mom taught me how to make stew and jellof rice [Nigerian cuisine] so that I could make it when I got to school. Can you image, I’ve been eating this stuff since I was a baby and I’m JUST now learning to make it. But it’s a good thing I don’t only intend on marrying a Nigerian man, cuz he’ll be sorely mistaken if he thinks I’m the only one going to be cooking.

But yeah, we shopped till we dropped, mostly from hunger. Then got our nails done. Two of my nails are chipping from all the hard labor that I’ve done since I got home :( [I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS].

Just got off the phone with my bf, and while I was talking to him I googled this light bulb that I need for my lamp. SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY I SHOULD PAY $30 FOR A FRICKEN LIGHT BULB! I can buy a whole NEW lamp for that much, GEEZ! If I don’t get a new lamp, I’ll just make my dad pay for the bulb since HE bought me the lamp. MAN!

I’m leaving at 5:30pm and won’t get to the cities till around 8pm…then there’s a party my friends and I want to go to at 11pm…WOW I have no time to do what I need to do.

Anyway I’m going to go start my laundry and trudge through the mess I call a room…

Next post…Top 5 AHOLICs (hopefully, I have the list just have to detail it…to lazy)
