Dear Diary,
The all black, dark ,and neutral phase, has come to an end and my blinding brights are back on the scene. A little something something that I threw together in less than 5 minutes. I kid you not, my best looks are when I dress under pressure. I figured i’d get my Andy Warhol turtleneck look going , being that I was paying a visit to the Museum Of Contemporary Art.
Dear Diary,
Meet my patchwork lover designed by non other than the multi-talented Deborah Vanessa from Ghana. Her designs are very fun and colorful. I’m pretty sure you have gathered by now that I loove me some color. 
Dear Diary,
I can’t believe it’s already December. I mean how crazy is it that we just have a few weeks until Christmas? BANANAS. It all went by so fast, but I am certainly looking forward to the holidays and spending time with my family and all my loved ones. In other news, I was serving layers on a platter for these chilly days I have been experiencing in my neck of the woods. I’ve always loved oxblood. It is certainly a hue that compliments a variety of complexions. I don’t own too many pieces in it, but after shooting this combination with the khaki green long bomber I may just invest in a few more things in oxblood. I may just do a post showcasing people with different skin tones rocking oxblood, what do you think?
Clover Canyon had a sample sale a month ago that I was dying to attend. Unfortunately I was unable to go because of my 9 to 5, but my awesome babe Faith surprised me with this gorgeous floral print short sleeve from the sale. Don’t I have awesome friends? I am a huge lover of prints, but what I truly adore about this shirt is how versatile it can be. In my case, I went for a outfit. 
Dear Diary,
You’re probably wondering where I wore this outfit to…Brunch? Out and about with friends? Try church, and yes, my shoulders came out to play. 
Dear Diary,
On Thursday, we had Instagram for brunch, and it was muy delicioso. Our speaker was the upbeat and lovely Sara Wilson who is in charge of Fashion/Lifestyle partnerships at Facebook and Instagram. She discussed dos and don’ts of connecting with your social media audience, as well as staying true to your vision.
Dear Diary,
I was so excited to receive my Miista Blaires in soft blue in the mail two months ago. They are so comfortable and fun! I finally got the perfect look to go with these sandals. Breezy silhouettes in hues of blues, with a dash of fuchsia on a hot summer day? Yes please!
Dear Diary,
Fashion for Breakfast is back, and this time’s guest of honor was none other than the beautiful and talented lady behind KDIA Jewelry, Kristen Noel Crawley. It was very inspiring listening to her speak about coming from a small town in Chicago to having her own brand of fine jewelry. She also mentioned how she wanted to make pieces that would stay with you forever. I had the liberty of meeting with Kristen after the breakfast, and she is such a ball of energy and simply the sweetest! Can we just talk about how amazing she looks with that baby bump? Jeez!! To learn more about or if you are interested in shopping her pieces. Click here for further details.
Now to my look…
Dear Diary,
It was pretty awesome being at the LACMA for Kanye West and Oscar-winning director Steve McQueen’s short film. The duration of the film was 9 minutes, and shot in one take at a historic dockyard outside London. Despite my inability to share some images from the installation with you all, per Mr. West’s strict regulations of keeping the video exclusive to the museum, I want to compensate by leaving you with a quote from the director elaborating on the concept of the film ; “The video for Kanye West ‘s song All Day/I Feel Like That plays upon the relationship between the camera and the subject. As in a meeting between the bull and the matador, it remains unclear who chases whom within the arena. The roles of pursuer and pursued are at times inverted. Shot in a single 9 minute take with natural lighting and minimal context, McQueen accentuates the immediacy and intensity of the performer up close. Every movement of West is seen; every breath felt. It becomes apparent how the song itself fuels West’s performance, from the tornado in “All Day” to the vulnerability of I Feel Like That”

Dear Diary,
Dedicated to Deborah Vanessa for my awesome T-shirt. The African mermaid is constantly finding innovative and fun ways to keep us interested. Take this tee for instance… Borla is a Hausa word which means rubbish/garbage/trash…Okay, you get the point.
