My return to the Louvre

Dear Diary,

I returned to the Louvre on a full stomach, and some comfy shoes. I had to prepare myself for the excessive walking through the many areas of the museum.

                                                            The Louvre from the inside.

 
It was mind boggling seeing all those people gathered around the Mona Lisa, and I also could not believe how small the painting was.
 A close up of the 30 x 21 inch painting by Leonardo da Vinci. It took a lot of shoving to get this shot.
Winged Victory of Samothrace. One of the most famous sculptures in the world.

So the vest has an 80s quality that I find very bad ass!! I saw it in my best bud’s luggage when he came to visit me last summer, and there was no way in heck I was going to let him take it back (thanks Nicky! :D)

FRENCHI long sleeve, GUESS denim vest, VINTAGE shorts and belt, JEFFREY CAMPBELL flats, BRANDY MELVILLE long cross necklace, (the short necklace is from a street vendor in Ghana).

Hope you guys love the photos, stay tuned for my next posting to see more of my parisian adventures :D.

Musee du Louvre

Dear Diary,

On day 2 of my Paris trip, I went to the Louvre Museum… on an empty stomach! That was certainly one of the worse decisions I could ever make. I was unable to peruse the galleries on the inside, so I decided to take some quick shots outside, and rush to grab a bite.

H&M peplum top, SEVEN jeans, BOUTIQUE 9 pumps, HOUSE OF HARLOW sunglasses.

Paris and Sugarlips Apparel

Dear Diary,

Sugarlips is a fashion brand from Los Angeles, CA. They team up with bloggers, and they were kind enough to ask me to join! I wore this floral number by the brand on my visit to the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

I love the peter pan collar as well as the A-line cut of the dress.  

This dress is no longer available on the website, but you can still find similar styles HERE

Swiss Day

Dear Diary,

Muchos muchos apologies for the delay in posts. I was making preparations for a trip abroad, and let me just tell ya traveling overseas is no joke! These are some shots I took on my 1st day in Switzerland. It is such a beautiful country, but a little chilly.

H&M sweater, OBEY t-shirt, H&M faux leather pants, FERRAGAMO bag, COMME des GARCONS sneakers.

DIY embellished clutch with Dolce&Gabbana case

Dear Diary,

My sister lost her sunglasses, so we figured it would be a cool idea to recycle her case into an embellished clutch.

                                                      Sunglass case.

                                                       Embellished beaded strip.

                         Use glue gun to attach embellishment strip onto the case.

                                                            Voila!

The finished product did not come out as clean as I expected,  but it still looks decent no? Can’t wait to find the perfect outfit to wear it with. Stay tuned!

                                                                xoxo!!

                                                            

The printed poof

Dear Diary,

This number has been sitting in my closet  since January. I purchased the african print fabric on my vacation in Ghana , and brought my baby doll design to life. The two-tier and poof on the bottom of the dress is not something that I would typically wear, but it’s always great to step out of your comfort zone and try out new styles.


AFRICAN PRINT DRESS(designed by me), URBAN OUTFITTERS shoes.

Dear Diary,

Some shots of me after my 9-5 yesterday.

So about my hair…what the heck is going on here? I haven’t run a comb through it in ages! I finally decided to make use of one, and realized it literally grew 3 inches overnight, out of control right? :-O… but hey, I do love my new found fro, all I need  is to come up with some cool ways to style it *pats hair*

I can’t get enough of these h&m pants, you may remember them from my birthday post . They are so comfy and flattering!
