I stated in a previous blog post that I would try to get back to my natural hair ways in 2017 so here it is…my little fro fro. It honestly tears me up inside when I look back at old pictures of my poppin fro 😦 anyway, I committed to less heat this year so after my birthday I’ll be puff balls and twist outs for the next few months.

Also, I have talked a lot about my love/hate relationship with Zara because their clothes are always so trendy and cute but the quality is pretty horrific. So I’ve decided that I will only shop at Zara during their twice yearly sale. This top was $50 when I first had my eye on it around October, 3 months later I scored this top for $15.99! And this is the stuff I’m talking about!! Sooooo many pieces that I purchased in the last few months were on SUPER SALE. I’m talking 79.90 marked down to 19.99. I was highly irritated to say the least. As a result, I am making a declaration to only purchase at Zara during their sales because I just cannot. Spending $80 on a pair of pants that rip two weeks later is just not in the cards for me…19.99 I think I can do.

*The Zara items I am wearing here are sold out online but you can check your local store if you are interested*

SN: I really have to get back into the gym as the little bit of curves I had are disappearing into fluff. Peace!

Being sporty spice at the National Harbor for happy hour with my girls proved to be one of the highlights on my Christmas Break thus far. We exchanged Christmas gifts and enjoyed Mccormick and Schmitt’s Happy Hour specials, cosmopolitans anyone? I also payed $8 for a Ben and Jerry’s ice cream cone *side eye* but the experience was well worth it.

I kept it comfy casual with a basic white tee and my new favorite Spanx leggings that give me a little extra tuck for my holiday food generated bulges.

Let’s take a moment to bask in the beauty of these suede navy Adidas…….ok these shoes are everything. They are comforatble and super versatile. I was gifted these kicks in this navy color, burgundy as well as an olive green. I have not seen these shoes anywhere in mens or women’s sizes so I have no idea how they were purchased for me. Shoutout to my plug lol. Threw on an Adidas bomber to finish off the look. I wasn’t sure if my friends would be dressy so I brought along my velvet steve madden booties to up the amp just in case. Turned out needing the booties lol
