Fourth of July

Hello Style Minds!!

Hope you guys had a fantastic week! If not, let’s hope the next one is better. Well Fourth of July weekend has passed and I hope that it was filled with nothing but fun and good times. Honestly, celebrating Fourth of July is one of my favorites. Friends, BBQ, fireworks, and sparklers. It’s just such an upbeat and fun holiday. My Fourth of July was a little…. Hectic to say the least, but I’d rather not get into details. Though overall it was still a fun day with my friends. Here’s my outfit for that day!

Hat: Forever 21

Top: Forever 21

Shorts: Forever 21

Necklace: Forever 21

Tights: Walmart

Shoes: Urban Outfitters

Now, this look is a little more sport and simple than most of my other outfits. The reason this outfit is so simple is my friends and I actually hung out at the lake. So of course I didn’t want to overdress. I’m actually quite a big fan of American Flag print. I really don’t know why, but I just enjoy the look of it. I’ve never thought that I could pull off the backwards snapback look, but now I feel like it’ll be an automatic sporty look for me from now on.  I had to twek my outfit a little due to the weather and change of plans, but in all it’s still close to the original outfit. I just added my sheer tights afterwards. I absolutely love this top, the cut, length, and material is perfect for the summer, but it still has the dark color that I adore.  

I hope this outfit gives you inspiration for next year or just when you want a simple and easy going look for the day!

I've had so many guest staying over at my house for the past couple of weeks. I'm also slowly building up a queue and will be able to hopefully post once a week every Monday or Tuesday 

Until the next chapter! 

Graduation Guest Outfits

Hello Style Minds!

So last weekend was a CRAZYYY weekend. As most of you know last weekend was grad week for me (as in attending), I had left my house Thursday afternoon and did not come home till Monday morning (only to go out later that day for a grad party). I had attended three different graduations, one on Thursday, one on Saturday, and one on Sunday. I also didn’t want to pack too many things while staying over at my friends’ houses, mainly shoes. I'm sorry that this post is so late, it would have been up on Tuesday, but unfortunately with all the craziness going on I didn’t really have a chance to take pictures of myself wearing the outfits those days. So I had to wait until I had a chance to re-wear and take pictures of these outfits for this post. Each outfit has its own different vibe and style to it.

Black Chic

Hat: H&M

Necklace: Forever 21

Top: H&M

Blazer: From Mom

Shorts: Papaya

Shoes: From Mom

The graduation I attended for this day was actually held at night which was perfect for this outfit. Having a nearly all black outfit isn’t usually ideal for the daytime (though it can work out in most cases). The top and the shorts have a casual and comfortable feel to it. By adding the blazer and a pair of heels, the outfit instantly portrays a more semi-sophisticated feel.

Simplistic Girly Girl

Demi Shirt: Forever 21
Necklace: Forever 21

Top: Forever 21

Skirt: Forever 21

Shoes: From Mom

This graduation was held during the late afternoon. For this outfit I wanted to give off a more girlish vibe. Each piece of this outfit are staple pieces in my closet, and once put together it makes a perfect outfit. Each piece has a simple little detail whether it be the color or the material, to make each stand out. Again pairing heels with an outfit can instantly make an outfit look dressier.

Urban Boho

Kimono: Ross

Romper: Ross

Belt: From Dad

Shoes: From Mom

This graduation was held during mid-afternoon.  Now this outfit is SUPER easy to put together, as it only contains four pieces to it. Rompers are a great thing to have in your closet. They’re easy to put on and they come it different cuts, colors, and prints! Tribal print rompers are one of my favorites because you don’t need to play it up as much. I didn’t want to show too much skin, so I added my lace kimono which matched the lace detail of my romper and the fringe adds amazing movement. If you don’t already know what I’ll say about heels, then you’ll need to reread the other two outfits again.

Usually for graduations people want to dress up nicely. Though having to sit there for who knows how long, waiting for the person you’re there to get called, and for the very end of the graduation ceremony. you want to also make sure you’re comfortable. Graduations are such an amazing celebrations for those you really care about. In the end it doesn’t really matter what you’re wearing, but why you’re there. I loved being able to see my three closest friends achieve this milestone in their lives. Did any of you have/are going to have graduations to go to? What did you wear? Or maybe you’re the one graduating, if so congrats to you 2015 grad!

Until the next chapter!

Soft Blues

Hello Style Minds!

I know many of you are finishing up your school year, I’ve finally finished my first year of Uni about 2 weeks ago. I have never felt more relief. I have a whole range of friends graduating this month, whether it be college or high school. I have about three graduations I’ll be attending in the same week, so an outfit post will be coming from that pretty soon. Now that I’m on summer vacation, I have a couple things that I’m planning and sorting out. Hope everyone had a fantastic Mother’s Day weekend. I had given my mom some flowers and a card and we also went out for lunch. Here I am to share my outfit from this past weekend.

Now if you may or may not know, I’m someone who doesn’t wear bright colors or colors in generally that often. But with this Spring weather, what better than to bring out a soft pastel shade of color mix with some white. Chiffon dresses are also awesome to wear during the Spring time. It’s a light and comfortable feeling material. I could twirl nonstop while wearing chiffon.

  

Hat: Goodwill

Dress: Ross

Belt: Charlotte Russe

Shoes: Charlotte Russe

Necklace: Forever 21

Earrings: Small Boutique

Watch: Atlanta Apparel Mart

Bracelets: Forever 21 & Atlanta Apparel Mart (Cross)

Clutch: Icing  

Blue is one of my favorite colors and I absolutely adore this mint blue color. It just gives off such a light and soft feeling. You can probably tell I went crazy accessorizing with this outfit, but with a simple looking dress it’s one of the best ways to play it up. Whenever I wear my sunhat, I always have that 1940s/Southern Belle sort of feel. This outfit is a great look for outdoor events.

Quite a few of my outfits tend to fluctuate in style, but that’s what I love to do. I loving going from a sweet cute vibe to a hard rocker the next. Once of the best things about fashion is just experimenting to see what fits you. It’s taken me a bit to actually figure out what is my style. While I’m usually going for a more urban look, I can’t help but love straying from it now and again. Don’t be afraid to go out of your comfort zone now and again, you never know.

Until the next chapter!

Fringe Fun

Hello Style Minds!

I apologize that I don’t post that often. Things are hectic in my life. I’m in my last semester of my first year of Uni, so school work takes up a big chuck of my time. I’m trying to figure out what other kinds of post that I’ll be create so stay tuned for that.  

So spring weather is finally upon us. Some of us are happy… some of us aren’t (Me being one of them haha). Though warmer weather means that playing with fashion becomes more fun! We start seeing more colors, we see pieces with more movement, and we see accessorizing to the max! One of the only downsides to spring are the cold mornings but warm afternoon. Here’s what I do as a happy medium.

Hat: Walmart

Sunglasses: Plato’s Closet

Top: H&M

Cardigan: Ross

Shorts: Plato’s Closet

Tights: Walmart

Boots: Belk

Necklace: Charlotte Russe

Now as you can see my outfit is focused on movement. I absolutely love anything fringe, and I instantly just fell in love with the lace kimono jacket. Fringe gives off that fun bohemian vibe whenever you’re just twirling around or even standing still, you still have that fun movement. I may be sporting dark colors, but I’m still able to feel light because of the fabric materials. I just can’t let dark colors go no matter what season. To keep from sporting all black (even tho all black outfits are super chic and always a go to) I decided to break out my little floral print shorts. I’ve always liked smaller floral prints, they just look at feel more dainty and can easily played to give off a different feel to your outfit depending on what you wear with it.

So between school work and social interactions, whenever I have time to myself I love making shirts. I do custom designs for myself as well as other people. I’ve slowly started taking orders from a few friends and post of those will be up sometime in the future. I’ll also post up a few more shirts I’ve created for myself. If you would like to see my creations, I’ve opened up an Instagram to post them @creative.bb

Until the next chapter!

Sweet Valentine

Hello Style Minds!

Yes yes, I know. It’s been weeks since my last post. I apologize, but I’ve been on a semi block lately. BUT!! We all know what holiday is coming up…. VALENTINE’S DAY!! Most people associate this day with just love between two people, but I would always share the love amongst my friends. I was that one girl that would make special Valentine’s cards for my friends and just give them out. Now everyone has their own taste on what they would wear on Valentine’s Day. Here’s what I would probably wear.

Flower Crown: DIY

Top: Goodwill

Skirt: Gift (Charlotte Russe)

Booties: Charlotte Russe

Watch: Gift

Bracelets: Atlanta Apparel Mart & Forever 21

As you can see, I’m more into the sweet and girly vibe of Valentine’s Day outfits. Instead of going for the typical red color I opted for soft colors. The print and color give off a fresh romantic tone, and I've always been a fan of high-lows as it’s a great way to show off your legs. I wanted to keep a simple-esk nature to this outfit so I just wore a cream colored silk top. I didn’t want to go overboard with accessories, but I still wanted to play up the outfit a little and went for a little flower crown and a minimal amount of jewerly. This look is just about showing off the sweet feminine side (for once LOL) and is pretty for those simple dates or just a day with your gals.  

I hope you all have a lovely Valentine's Day whether it's spent with your special someone, your family, your friends, or even just yourself!!

Showing Your Fangirl Side

Hello Style Minds!

So I have been an avid fan of K-pop (or Hallyu) for a good six years now.  So yes, I can be classified as one of those crazy fangirls. I’ve been able to find good music and meet amazing people through different fandoms. Now like some fans, I don’t really have a solid source of money and fan products can be a bit pricey. With Kpop clothing, I never want to be too obvious of showing my fangirl side as most merchandise does. So all these fan shirts I actually DESIGNED and HAND-MADE MYSELF. (minus the actual band logos of course
)

Band: EXO

Cardigan: Old Navy

Skirt: Marshall’s

Tights: Charlotte Russe

Shoes: Charlotte Russe

Hat: Walmart

Band: Madtown

Shorts: Charlotte Russe

Tights: Walmart

Shoes: Charlotte Russe

Beanie: H&M

Band: GOT7

Jeans: Urban Behavior

Shoes: Urban Outfitters

Two of these designs I made for my friends the other was made for a cousin of mine.

Band: B.A.P for my friend Dee 

Band: EXO for my cousin Joy 

Band: B2ST for my friend Jia 

And here’s a little extra design.

Leggings: Charlotte Russe

Shoes: Marshall’s 

Showing your fangirl side can be done in a stylish and chic way.

Until the next chapter!
