Oh You Fancy Huh?

Last night I had the absolute pleasure of attending Howard University's 2011 Bison Ball. It was so much fun! I love my HU! To top it all off, one of my BEST friends, Ms. Shenise McKnight, won the Bison of Choice Award (In case you didn't know,  it's kind of a big deal. She's the one in the middle of the pic below). Everyone looked fab (for the most part...)! One thing I must say is ladies, if an event has the words Ball, Gala, Ceremony, etc attached to its name, please do not wear the dress that you wore to the club last weekend. Keep it classy. Focus on showing off your assets in a dress that is flattering to your body shape, looks great with your skin tone, and most importantly makes you feel fabulous! I chose to wear this gorgeous, strapless, lace dress that I found at Marshalls for only $80! #BOW. My friend Victoria and I (the one to the far left of the pic below) spent hours in the Pentagon City Mall looking for a dress and found nothing! We lucked out at Marshalls though; we both found chic dresses at great prices! As for the shoes...we'd figured we could drop a little more on them since our dresses weren't too expensive. So of course Aldo was the move! The thing I love about my shoes is that not only can I wear them with this dress, I can wear them with a casual outfit too! In closing, the Bison Ball was the bomb, can't wait till next year (when I'm a senior...tear). 

Bipolar Weather

It was extremely gorgeous out the other day! I swear the weather in D.C. is bipolar. Seriously, I'll be on my way to class and it will be 50 degrees and downpouring, then the minute I leave to head back to my dorm it's 70 degrees and sunny. I don't get it. Anyways, here was my look for that day! My friend Ricky took some pics of me for his blog: Lavish Exposure. It's pretty dope, you should definetely check it out!

A Day With Image Consultant Amy McNish

Today was a blast! I spent the entire day with Amy McNish, image consultant and designer. She's the bomb! I kid you not. She's been working in the industry for about 17 years and specializes in color managemnt and wardrobe styling. She had a booth at the 2011 Health and Fitness Expo at the Holiday Inn and I was her assistant for the day! I helped her set up, talk to potential clients, promote her business and got a ton of great information about the image consulting industry and how it operates. Check out this video of us at the expo for more information about her. She's great!

(FYI: I definetely know that Tasha Smith is not on The Game. Lmao, I got my Tasha's mixed up...smh. Hope you enjoyed!)

Violet Boutique

It's April! April Fools Day to be exact. Did anyone get played today? Because I sure did. 


My friend and I were invited to a launch party for a boutique that just opened in Adams Morgan tonight, called Violet Boutique. For any of you who live in the DC area you should definitely check it out. Violet Boutique offers playful, sassy clothing, jewelry, and accessories for women at great prices. I would say the price of merchandise at this store is somewhere between H&M and Zara (not too bad for your average college student). I had a blast rummaging through the racks of lively spring dresses and viewing displays of tasteful jewelry to see what Violet Boutique had to offer. To top it all off, I found the perfect accessory to add to my wardrobe. When I saw this watch I had to have it! It was only $40; not too bad if you ask me. 

This was my outfit of choice for the night. Although it doesn't exactly correspond to this season, I did like it. Hey, it's freaking cold out here! Why is it still 50 degrees and under? I need the warm weather to come...and fast!
