"I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell"

Sept 3
Jacmel, Haiti

I love finding new restaurants.  Food is a big part of my life.  I love meeting up with friends and catching up over a good meal.  However I don't have any qualms about dining alone if friends are not available.  My hometown does not have many 'nice' restaurants, more like takeout places.  If one is looking for fine dining, a hotel is usually the go to place.      

This is the Hotel Florita.

The vines were so charming and the natural decor was so rustic that I couldn't help but love it.

I was enamored with their courtyard.

If not for the schizo mosquitoes, I would have stayed outside longer.

Let's not forget my meal.

Avocado/tomato/green bean salad = DELICIOUS

No One Like You

Hi ladies and gents!
I hope everyone is having a great and productive week.  I'm counting down the days before I leave for Haiti (it's 5).  I'm so excited!
I recently went out to dinner and saw a movie with a gentleman friend.  It was long overdue.  We hadn't hung out in a long time, and I needed to be out after being house ridden due to having strep throat.  I love movies and eating so it was fun times.  Add good company to the mix and I'm a happy customer.

OOTD at Aquarium

Hi all,
This is just a quick post to highlight my outfit from my aquariam date.  Alhtough I love this dress, it's fun, bright, airy, thus perfect for the muggy heat in Boston; I didn't like the way I wore it last Sunday.  I've usually belted it, but that day I decied to just let if flow.  Let's agree that I should never let things flow when it comes to my wardrobe.  Ok?  Ok, great!  Take a gander at what I wore.

Boo took this pic, not too bad for a 6yo hunh?

I Don't Know Why I'm Scared, I've Been Here Before

Hello hello!
This outfit is from last Wednesday, the 27th.  I didn't do anything special.  Just a meeting, that proved to be pretty fruitful.  I will admit that I agonized over what I should wear.  I've been using Polyvore a lot lately to inspire some outfits.  It was a really hot day, and these shorts are so comfy.  The last time I wore them here it was for a night event.  For years I used to shy away from wearing shorts.  I've got meat on my legs and thighs, and I just always felt like shorts were unflattering, and not for me.  Aren't we glad that phase is over?

I'm sure you guys understand by now, how deep my love for this fedora goes.

Badass

There is something about wearing all black that makes me feel tough.  I don't know what it is, but I have an image in my head of riding around on a Harley, and taking my helmet off to whip my hair back and forth (lol I couldn't resist).  The leather jacket also adds to my badass persona.  Indulge me people :).

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.

On the 1's and 2's

My sis and I went to support her friend who is a local dj at a Mediterranean lounge last night.  It was freezing!  If I knew how bone chillingly cold it was, I would not have budged out of my bed.  But alas, I didn't know and I was dressed and ready to go.  Due to the subzero temperature, there was not a big turnout, but the vibe was cool and chill, just how I like.  On a fashion note, I am loving olive green right now.  It makes me feel warm and content.

We're back at it again!

Spring session has begun and this is what I wore to meet the beast head on.  I'm actually looking forward to my classes.  My schedule consists primarily of AfroAm and Women's Studies courses, right up my alley.
