I don't know about you but I have mixed feelings about the fast approaching end of summer. I love summer and the chill freedom it brings, but fall offers a sense of new beginnings, a second wind to work towards our goals. I feel like I'm in a constant tug of war because I'm sad to see summer go, but excited to buckle down and make this upcoming fall my little B**** in the most productive sense possible. So while I'm waiting for the seasons to transition, here are a few things that I've been craving and coveting hardcore. I even bought a few of the items below, and guess what, I'm probably going to buy more (as long as they are within my budget because I need to stop overspending asap).
Luckily, all the pieces I'm current lusting after will completely be wearable in fall. So cheers to making the end of summer count and planning for a fun fall. I hope this short, curated list helps you pinpoint any fun items you want to add to your wardrobe. I'd love to know what pieces of clothing or accessories you've been coveting lately. And thanks so much for taking time to read my post. You're support seriously makes me day! Until next time!

Another week has come and gone. It's officially summer, and I'm baffled by how quickly this year is flying by. I'm still trying to figure how to stop letting life fly by me and actually enjoy each day. But hey, slow progress is still progress. In the meantime, here are some things I've found around the web this week. I hope you enjoy!
- For My ATL Peeps: I found out about this new lifestyle site called Infatuation and OMG I LOVE IT! I signed up for the NYC newsletter and yesterday the guide was about the best places to eat and drink on boats in the city... It's like this site can read my mind. But guess what, the site just announced an Atlanta section too! So now you'll never run out of things to do during your free time. You're welcome
- Shop Til You Drop:
- Saks is having a major sale! Up to 60% off site wide! Go be buojie on a budget; you deserve it.
- TopShop sale = up to 70% off ... aw yeah!
- Weekend Fun: I'm thinking about going to this Rosé on the Water event in NYC on July 12 (there's also one in Chicago on July 20th). It looks like a lot of fun.
- Menu: I never thought I would say this... but I've actually been enjoying cooking lately - mainly because it's an easy way to save a ton of money. And I'm very excited to make this healthier version of blueberry banana bread!
- On My Radar: I'm been kind of obsessed with Pretty Little Thing. The clothes are super cute and super affordable.
- Fight for what's right: This is super fucked up and is proof that the fight for immigration reform is far from over even though he who shall not be named just passed an executive order to stop family separation at the boarder.
- Gotta Get My Mind Right: Here's a free 5 minute meditation app that seems pretty cool. I love 5 minute meditation sessions because my mind is super active and I can only sit quietly for 5 minutes.
- You Are Enough: Here's a great article about not comparing yourself to others... something I struggle with daily.
- PRIDE: It is finally PRIDE weekend here in NYC and here is your guide to celebrating love & equality.
- Morning Moves: I just did this 12 minute morning yoga routine by Tone It Up and feel like a million bucks! It definitely got my blood pumping and activated a lot of muscles in my body. Try it if you need a quick pick-me-up!
- Wish List: Bauble Bar just launched their tropical jewelry collection... and I want it all! Check out some of my favorite pieces below - oh, and this section has affiliate links, just FYI.
Thanks for reading! Lot's of love and have an incredible, PRIDEFUL weekend!
Weekly Finds 3.04.18
March 4, 2018
Happy Sunday friends! I am so excited that it's march because that means we are getting closer to warm weather. It's still a bit chilly hear in the NYC area, but I know sunshine is right around the corner. I've rounded up a few of my weekly finds below. I hope you enjoy them. I've also started including my weekly highs and lows in this series. Why? Because we all know how fake social media can seem at times. I never want someone to look at my life and think it's perfect... it's far from it. When you guys read my blog and take in my different forms of content, I want you all to feel encouraged and like we're in tis game of life together. There's room for all of us to win at life and be happy, so why not win together? In my opinion, that sounds like way more fun that doing this journey alone. So I hope you take a momen't this morning to grab tea, coffee or a mimosa (I'll be having a few this afternoon) and take a load off.
Smart Money Tip of the Week (Because you’re too good to be a broke bitch): If you’re stressed about paying off student loans, read this. You’re really not alone.
Give Back: Andrea Pion aka A Slice o Pi is collecting evening and prom gowns to donate to women who can’t afford them. I think this is such a great idea. I remember how expensive prom and formal dresses for my sorority events were, and every gal deserves to feel beautiful on those special days, reguardless of their family's budget. Check out Andrea's instagram if you want to get involved or donate a dress! Plus, her photos are really freaking inspiring, so you should check her out even if you don't have something to donate.
Wanderlust: Here are a few photos of amazing places that are inspiring me to travel. It’s honestly all I can think about at the moment.  |

Grooving To: I’ve been a little obsessed with Tinashe this week. I’ve loved her music for a few years, but I’ve been listening to Faded Love, All Hands On Deck and Cold Sweat on repeat.

This Week’s Highs: Pushing myself at the gym. I went to an Ass and Abs class and then a pole dancing class immediately after on Tuesday. Guys, forcing myself to go was one of the hardest things I’ve done in a while. I just wanted to go home, eat pizza and watch How to Get Away with Murder, but I kept telling myself that my feelings didn’t mean shit. There was no excuse for me to not get my ass to the gym. I really want a more toned body, and the only way that will happen is through hard work. Y'all… I was on a high after the gym. I pushed myself in both classes, got some new pole bruises, and felt more confident than I have in a while. Sometime the best way to get through a funk is to just push through it.
This Week’s Lows: Missing my aunt’s funeral. I was planning to go but there was a crazy storm on the east coast that resulted in a bunch of Amtrak cancellations on Friday and Saturday. I was going to take the train down to D.C., but mother nature had a much different plan. I wasn’t very close to my aunt who passed, but I certainly wanted to attend the ceremony to support my mom and her other siblings. All I can say is thank the lord for technology such as FaceTime. Even though I can’t be with my family in person, at least we can still see each other’s faces. And my aunt’s death was an intense reminder of how we should not spend our days in situations that make us miserable. We only get one chance at life, so if you’re in a relationship, career or major that you hate, figure out a way to pivot and do something that you love that also pays the bills. It might take a while, but we’ll get there sooner than we think!
Monthly Challenge: Stepping up my digital content game. I really really enjoy writing, styling, editing, shooting and communicating. This blog gives me energy, and I’m ready to commit more time to it. If I have to wake up at 5:30 am Monday through Friday to get some work done before I head into the office, so be it. I want this… like a lot, and I hope you find something that you love and drives you too.
