tough one. There will be  times when you think, am I not doing anything right?. I remember this time last year I would never have thought that brands were even identifying with me or that I had readers and people that I inspired through my blog posts.

CALL ME MS GRAY IN THE FALL!! SHADES OF GRAY!!

I cannot emphasize my love for the fall season. Having to play around with different outfits styles and making an effort to layer and make it loove stylish and well put together. Ahhhhh!! Life has been given. 

In todays post, im serious guys dont call me Ms Essien, my name is now Mrs is Gray. lol not Just  joking. Can you see this monochromatic perfection in this post. I have come to accept that in styling you dont have to have all the colors right, in fact, i prefer little contrasts here and there.

Ive paired this gray mock neck midi dress with this ankle sock shoe. For the extra chilly days i have thrown on this comfy gray jacket. I love how all the shades of gray work together. 

To be honest, I will be wearing these outfits and styles this fall and these are definitely some of my fall wardrobe staples so you will be seeing my style a lot of midi dresses this season, best said now before it seems like breaking news ... I am too dry ...lol.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post. Also, leave a comment below stating what your fall wardrobe staples are.

GOT MY FALL GLOW ON! FEEL BEAUTY PRODUCT REVIEW!!

Happy Fridays lovelies!! I hope you are all excited about the weekend. In today's post I'm sharing my love for these amazing beauty products by @feelbeauty. I got sent two products to review. One is a hair product (Beachy) which is a complete texture mist. The other is a self tanning glow kit (Glowing) which helps enhance and stimulate melanin.

Because I already have enough melanin. lol I have been using his product to even out my skin tone and trust me it actually gives me that extra glow that I need/would be needing this fall/winter season when the sun goes into hiding.

Beachy(hair mist) review;  The hair mist helped with the texture of my low cut natural hair. Especially when I'm on the go and don't feel like wearing my wig, I spray the mist on and move it around with my fingers, after allowing it to air dry my hair looks gorgeous. This mist actually softens the hair which is why I love it.

GLOWING (Self Tanning); I love having that evenly toned skin with that extra glow. This product has got me feeling extremely beautiful inside and out. I showed the process in pictures of how I got the perfect glow using this product. I had a sugar scrub with my homemade sugar and coconut oil scrub , before applying this product. Let's talk about this below!!!

FOR THE LOVE OF NAVY x RUFFLES x COMFORT!!!

Happy Hump Day my lovelies!! I hope everyone's having a great day so far. I personally took today off and ild be spending some time with my family and shopping as well. 

In today's, post i am sharing my love for all things Navy, ruffle and comfort. Lets talk about comfort a little bit. Its all about being free from pain or constraints, which heartbreaking for me to say but truthfully, high heeled shoes bring. 

This look is all about being stylish yet comfortable hence, my flat pair of shoes. If you've been following me on this journey, you would know i have a thing for wearing the color blue particularly Navy blue.

Which brings me to this point where i share my short story about HOW I HAVE RESTYLED ALL THIS PIECES.

During the summer i purchased this ruffle off the shoulder top from +boohoo.com . I also purchased this navy pant in a coord set from +ASOS . What other time but fall to style both pieces. This fall shades of blue are really in and i must remind you that i was totally out of outfit ideas for this look. When i figured out what i wanted to style i reminded myself that sometimes i want to look casual but still be a stunner. I will be sharing how i am able to recycle my clothing in another post.

I also paired this outfit with a red bag, great contrast i think. What are your thoughts? My oversized Celine style glasses from @fxshnjunkestore has also been a winner for me lately. This outfit can be worn casually and as always if you want to switch it up, just put on a pair of high heeled shoes, roll down the ankle and you are good to go.

I hope you enjoyed reading todays post. See more pictures and outfit details below!!!
