After attending a Grand Opening of a local Boutique here in Charlotte, I came across a beautiful embroidered maxi dress that was to die for!!! But it was wayyyy out of my budget… $120 worth. I knew after looking at the tag that I couldn’t afford it. Every since then I have been on the hunt for a similar dress.

After going on my “daily” mall shopping trip… there it was a shorter version of the dress I saw. Only thing that was it was $100. Only $20 cheaper though… blah.  But then I remembered I could use a 20% Off in-store coupon so that helped. I mean I love love love this dress. It so whimsical and dainty. Definitely a must for my fellow flower children at heart.

My bag is from Forever 21.  A good ole palm leaf to remind me that warm days, beach and sand are in my future thank God! I love my weekly trips to Forever 21. Sometimes I find gems sometimes I leave with nothing and I am okay with that.

Prestos… My Nike Prestos are the most comfortable sneaker that I own and if you follow me on IG you’ve seen the four I’ve purchased within the last 4 months.  They paired perfectly with this look and gave it a more laid back look. I could definitely wear this to brunch with friends or to the mall.  More details on this look below!

Starting Accutane... again. ✨
Back in 2016, before I moved to LA, I completed my first round of Accutane and saw incredible results. Fast forward to today, and my skin has been going through it. What started as hormonal breakouts gradually turned into painful cystic acne, and after trying to manage it on my own, I decided it was time to seek professional help.
I’ve officially started a second Accutane journey with @honeydew.care and I’ll be sharing the process along the way. My goal is to be transparent about what this experience looks like as an adult navigating acne, confidence, skincare, and everything in between.
This journey won’t be perfect, but neither is skin and that’s okay.
If you’ve done Accutane before, I’d love to hear your experience and any tips you have for managing dryness, side effects, and the overall process. 💚

SPANX has officially entered the group chat. 👏🏾✨
I picked up a few pieces and had to do a try-on because the fit is fittingggg.
From the cobalt blue beach set that’s giving luxury vacation energy to the black skort and zip jacket combo that will absolutely be joining me on morning walks, errands, and airport runs... every piece understood the assignment.
The sports bra? Supportive.
The skort? Flattering.
The beach set? Already packed in my mind. 💙

Which look are you choosing: Team Vacation or Team Athleisure? 👀

Doing It For The Plot ✨💅🏾
Some people go sightseeing... we go nail supply shopping.
Me and Genevive took a little road trip to Long Beach to check out Alicia’s Beauty Supply and find some inspiration for future nail sets. Between the jewels, charms, stones, stickers, and endless polish options, let’s just say my saved nail inspo folder is about to get some competition.
As two girls who believe our nails are part of the outfit, this was the perfect little creative adventure.
Would you make a road trip for nail supplies? 👀💎
