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!

Wednesday Hotness





Top: thrifted 
Bottoms: Urban Outfitters (sale) $20
Wedges: Forever 21 (old)
Body chain: Ebay $4 (similar here)
Sunnie: UO $16

Its been so hot here in the H that wearing clothes has become a hassle. As soon as you step out the door you're covered in sweat, its madness I tell you MADNESS!!! But besides that its perfect time to go shopping! Went into my favorite store (UO) and picked up a couple off things as always. Found these awesome high wasited shorts tucked away on a rack hidden in the back by the dressing room. It was meant to be for me to find them. They fit my hippie personalty so well, its not even funny. 

 Sorry for the gigantic thighs you guys, I recently started training for NCP Bikini Competitions so you're going to be seeing a lot of changes in my body soon. I'm currently trying to lean out and tone up, but for some reason my thighs decided to do the opposite. I will for sure start doing work out routine post to give you guys some inspiration for your own get fit journey. Untill then hope you guys enjoy mine. As always hope you're having a great weekend and summer.

Sooooo its been awhile, yea I no. I been busy working like a dog, and trying to figure out my life but I'm back now! Did you guys miss me?? huh? huh? huh?
No, OK that's fine, I didn't miss y'all either. j/k

Did some much needed shopping last week and found this Biggie tank at urban. Love it! wish it came in white though cause its super freaking hot here in Houston and black is not the way to go if you're trying NOT to have a heat stroke! But being a lover off all things black I couldn't help myself. This awesome skirt is from one of my local thrift shops, I been meaning to style it but haven't had time.
No more neglecting you guys, I'm back for good now!

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

Lions and tigers and cats?!

So I didn't post on Sunday because I was in Austin for one of my girlfriends birthday. But before I left I found this awesome necklace on ebay and had to have it. Of course it was inspired by one of my favorite style icons (Rihanna) but its not exactly like her's which makes me love it even more. Excuse the boobage I wanted to give you guys a good close up of it on. The sellers name on ebay is grouperstomper you can seach his name or just seach lion necklace. The necklace was only $13 which is pretty awesome.
