Guys...GUYS...GUYYYYYS!!
This is NOT a drill my favorite season is finally here and I could not be more excited.
There's just something about fall that makes me feel at home no matter where I am. The crisp air, the smell of apples, the snuggling...I could literally go on all day about my obsession with the season.
However, instead of just chatting about all the feel's Fall gives me. I'm going to show you a few things you need to pick up right now to start embracing the cozy. So you can share in all the same Fall feels I do!
LETS GET COZY!
What makes your favorite jeans your favorite?
Is it how they hugs your hips? How you can move freely in them? Or maybe its that they go with everything.
Welp, my new favorite jeans are all of that and more! They are literally the perfect combination of every little thing you could ever hope and dream for. They are the ultimate spring fashion statement...
And *insert gasp* they're from EXPRESS!?
Like really, who would have ever thought Express has been hiding the holy grail of jeans.
Would you believe me if I told you the hardest thing to figure out during my 20's was where to shop?
Well, it's the truth!
There was a point somewhere around the time I turned 23 that I realized I was getting a little too old for Forever21 but I was still too broke to be shopping in Nordstrom. So where was I supposed to go to find affordable yet stylish clothes that wouldn't fall apart in the wash?
*Shrugs* I was CLUELESS.
Thus began my hunt for the perfect places to shop and after 6 years and countless hours of uhhhh "market research" (aka I spent hella coins trying to figure this out).
I've compiled a list of the BEST stores to shop at as you transition from a young thottie to your glow up years. These stores will not only give you the quality of clothing you desire but also affordable prices and the best styles throughout the seasons.
I mean what more can you ask for? So get ready to happily toss your coins to these 13 stores!
Thrifting be havin me like...
Lol no joke when I go thrifting and find a good deal I honestly feel like I run the world!
Out my way hoe! I'm fancy for the low low!
There is just something about a crop top and a good pair of heels that makes a girl feel...
Bad and boujee aye!

Relax...its just ass right?
I'm sure 99% of you were shocked last Friday when my cakes graced your Instagram news feed. For the most part you all have know me to be the semi conservative (Ayesha Curry type) blogger who never shows much more than an ankle on the gram.
With the addition of my new hair I've started feeling a little more funky and daring with my style choices and its had me wanting to mix things up a bit.
So when I got invited to Sunday brunch, instead of reaching for the typical girly dress or fashion forward trousers...I decided to pair a few opposites together and see what happened.
End result? I was either going to show up looking like an under dressed bum or the most stylish person in the room...
The second I purchased those fringe booties I knew summer 16 was over for me and although it may still be teetering on 90 degrees outside for most of us are thinking...
BRING ON THE FALL!!
No pumpkin spice lattes for me yet but sweaters, hats, boots...yes please.
In no specific order my top 4 fears are gorillas, spiders, thunderstorms and...boats.
But about a week ago thanks to some pretty cool interns that I've grown to love this summer, I bit the bullet and faced my fear of boats by taking a ride on The Spirt Of Baltimore.
Note: The smile above was forced...I was shaking like a leaf.
Truth be told I'm not the biggest fan of Valentine's day...or the color red but when in Rome.

While most people are slaving over hot stoves to produce Academy Award winning Thanksgiving productions, Shop-A-Holics like me are making lists and checking them twice in preparation for the biggest shopping day (or days) of the year.
We are in full panic mode people!!
Count down to Black Friday is upon us and true to this shoppers know that scarfing down pounds and pounds of turkey is the quickest way to be tapped out when its time to run for those deals. So while your getting stufffffed I'm getting prepped. Well thats how I used to be, this year I'm taking it easy and thinking more about "us".
In light of recent events and movements like Black Lives Matter...i've become more aware of just how important it is to stand together as a community and a culture. So before you lace up those Nikes for go time, take a second to check out these Black Friday deals from AMAZING black owned businesses and invest some black dollars back into the community!
Support black owned business that will surely support you...before some of those other companies.
Below you will find: Links, Deals, Codes, Instagams and more to some great black owned businesses!
Happy Shopping...and don't forget to fix me a plate!
Cupcakes, Cocktails & Chic were all present at the South Moon Under 10 year anniversary celebration at their Harbor East location in Baltimore Maryland last Thursday evening.
Color isn't always my favorite thing to wear, but when i do wear it I go all out!

Im in love with dresses this summer!
I have never particularly been a dress girl, when I was younger I actually hated dresses with a passion. It was like pulling teeth to even get me to look at one, but recently I have found the beauty in them.
They make me feel beautiful, womanly and believe it or not...like a MF'in boss!

If you would have told me 5 years
ago that my decision to go natural and cut off all my hair would be a choice
that would change my life forever...I probably would have agreed with
you.
But not for the reasons that were
racing through my head as I picked up the scissors.
While looking in the mirror as my
shoulder length hair fell to the floor in clumps, I was suddenly overwhelmed
with emotion. The main emotion? Fear, fear of rejection, of no longer being
beautiful, of not being able to get a job or a man for that matter aaaaand the
underlying fear that my head was actually as big as I thought it was lol.
It looks like I'm asking "but where did all her hair go" in this pic LOL!
I have to admit that hats were a trend that once I went natural I just never thought would be for me, aside from already thinking I looked silly in them. Now having to fight with my hair to even get one on my head sealed the deal for a no go.
But a few weeks back I saw some beauties while I was shopping at the mall on sale and thought..."well if they won't fit on my head they'll at least look good hanging on my wall" (a trait I picked up from my grandfather)
The hardest thing about blogging may really be picking the perfect outfit for an event. This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Kinky Hair Unlocked event in Atlanta, GA hosted by 4CHairChicks (check out my event recap HERE). I was super excited about the event and seeing fellow type 4 hair ladies and bloggers in one place...but when it came to an outfit...I was completely lost.
