Boots: Guess :$39

Sword: Halloween City $18

Fan: Halloween City $0.99

Hope everyone had fun getting dress up for Halloween, I know I did! I'm currently in school so I'm balling on a budget. And since I'm on a budget there was no way I was going to spend $70-$150-$200 on a costume, so I went threw my closet and threw some things together. The end result was this Japanese warrior character lady. The only things I purchased was the swords, the fan, and the wig, all together I spent $43 which is not bad at all.

The reactions from my friends were priceless when they saw my costume, which was exactly what I was going for!

Coming up with a halloween costume can be fun, easy, and cheap. You just have to be open to your options and willing to look. Thrift shops or second hand shops can be a great alternative when your looking for an inexpensive or fun way to put a costume together.

Now I can't wait for next Halloween, time to start thinking of what I'll be next!

As always have a great week!!

I had a great 24th Birthday last friday (10/17/14)!!! Celebrated by having a simple dinner with my closest girl friends at Ra Sushi. And of course, like always I was late to my own bday dinner. Lol its all good, they expected that of me. I'm always late! My lateness was due to my unexpected wardrobe malfunction! I had a whole outfit planed out in my head, but for some reason when I put it together in real life it was an epic FAIL!!! Its a good thing that I had recently gone thrifting and had this skirt in my closet! 

 Thats it for now! Hope all my Libras had a great month and great birth days!

So last weekend I got to attend my very first wedding! Can you believe all 23 years I've been breathing I've never been to a wedding! I know crazy right! 

The Bride and Groom were beautiful in there tradition african attire. The wedding on the other hand was not so traditional. Instead of doing the same old thing where you stand in front of the priest and recite your vows, they walked, better yet danced down the the aisle with their brides maids and and grooms men. Then they played a little game where the bride had to search for her husband in the hall. Which you'd think would be a easy task, but there had to be over 200 people in that hall. That didn't stop her though she and her brides maids formed a line and made their way around every single table till she found her husband. It was a such a fun wedding and of course the food was great, you can't beat a free african meal! lol. 

For my outfit I wanted to wear something flowy and effortless, that didn't happen though! I searched high and low for a long dress with some kind of african print, or even something plain that I could have put some African print on. Came up empty handed, till I remembered that I  had this dress from Topshop I'd never worn. It was actually perfect for the occasion. Paired it with some nude heels from Aldo and my cardigan from Forever 21. 

The wedding was an awesome experience, hope everyones has a great week and great rest of the weekend!

Belt: Forever 21 $9.99

Today was a super humid day. So humid that as soon as I walked outside the lens on my camera fogged up to the point that nothing was visible on the monitor. lol

Decided to keep it simple today with this little black dress. Stumbled upon it while I was thrifting one day last year. I've only worn it once since then, so it's about time that I pulled it out again. It was perfect for this hot humid day. The fabric looks heavy but it's light and breezy allowing me to breath and not suffocate in this Houston heat! Paired the dress with this cute little meow belt from forever 21 and my favorite platform heels and was out!!!

 Have a good rest of week, spread those good vibes! 

Don't Step On My Blue Suede Shoes!!!

Top Almost Famous: Macy's $10

Bottoms: Urban Outfitters

Shoes: Shasa $10

Necklace: Thriftted $6

Purse: Burlington Coat Factory $12

So I finally found a Peplum top worth buying and in my price range. I was just walking around Macy's the other day and stumbled across this beauty, it was the very last one and in my size! There was no way I was going to leave it behind! I love that it has a U-back and that it's sheer at the bottom, so cute!!!

I paired it with my fav high-waisted skinny's from urban and some cheap blue suede heels I found at Shasa just to keep the blue going. And to add a little more color I added my bright green purse that everyone loves from Burlington Coat Factory. It's finally summer here in H-town, idk if I''m ready for this hot ass weather though. Hope you guys are having a great summer so far.

Oh and I got my tattoo touched up by my new fav tattooist June check out his instagram @inkdupjune
