She was the sun's painting

Hi ladies and lads!  Today (8/4) was spent at the doctors and getting my eyebrows done (long overdue).  What do you all think of my shirt?  I got it at the Afro Fest.  This was my last acquisition.  The vendor must have really wanted to sell his things because he gave me the shirt for $5 and I think that they're normally $15 or $20.  I didn't even have to bargain.  I actually insisted that I didn't want to buy anything because I didn't have any money left.

This pic reminds me of the Jill Scott and Mos Def song Love Rain, although there is no rain and I am not in love

Rocking Red

I'm loving a red lip these days.  I used to shy away from bright lips and I never went anywhere near lipstick.  I thought it was better suited to church ladies.  Oh how far I've come.

All Dressed Up with No Where to Go

Today I was supposed to be meeting up with my friend Z for brunch.  We usually schedule a brunch or drinks and appetizers date at least 2x a month.  We've been to some really great restaurants so far.  We spend this time catching up on life.

However, if you noticed the title of this post, and the opening sentence; I did not make it to brunch.  Z and I have hardcore communication issues at times.  There was a huge misunderstanding and we ended up rescheduling.

Food & Friends = Fun

Two of my friends and I went out to eat at a French Cambodian restaurant today.  This was my second time going there, although the first time was at their other location.  The food was delish, as was to be expected!  I had a great time joking and laughing with the buds.  Also, I deserve a pat on the back because this is my first time taking outfit pics in public like this.  There were people walking around! Oh the horror, what will they think?  I know, I know I even shocked myself by with my bravado.

Preppy Chic

This week’s theme is preppy chic.  My idea of preppy chic is lots of cardigans, pearls, flats and natural makeup.  Preppy chic is a no fuss look.  Who cares if I spent hours putting the look together, the idea is to look effortlessly chic.  Let me know if you think I did preppy chic justice, or what you think constitutes preppy chic.
