Events | Junior League of Raleigh's Belk Fashion Forward Recap
Hello Beauties!
A few weekends ago, I attended the Junior League of Raleigh's Belk Fashion Forward event. This annual spring fashion benefit event was full of shopping, music, hors d'oeuvres and more. When my fiance and I arrived at the event, we were greeted by the event volunteers and encouraged to walk around, sample perfumes and enter some of the night's giveaways. As we walked around, we were able to sip champagne and check out some of the sales.

Personal Style | The White Skirt
Over the weekend, I had the great opportunity to have my photos taken by Nikia Williams Photography. As I was getting ready for our photo session in the weeks to come, I thought I knew exactly what I was going to wear, but you know how that goes. One thing I knew was that I had to wear this white skirt from Ashley Stewart. I hardly own any white bottoms, but when I saw this reversible skirt, I had to have it.

Natural Hair | How I Maintain My Crochet Braids
Hello Beauties!
Would you believe that Friday marked five weeks since I had my crochet braids installed? Wow! That means I have successfully been rocking synthetic hair for five weeks. I remember sitting in the stylist's chair and asking how long people usually wear crochet braids and her reply was anywhere from three to four weeks. I knew in my head I was going to do everything possible to push these suckers to six weeks. Thankfully, I am almost there and my hair still looks great. How am I maintaining my hair you ask?

Fashion | RoseWholeSale Review
Hello Beauties!
A few months ago, I was contacted by RoseWholeSale about their company and reviewing a few of their products. Now if you know me, you know that I'm going to do some research before accepting a review because what I share with each of you is important to me. As I began to check out reviews about RoseWholeSale, I was very impressed by the feedback I saw online. I decided to do the review and was sent three items in the mail.

Personal Style | Spring Ready
Hello Beauties!
The weather here in North Carolina has just been strange this winter. I've never seen so much snow and ice in all the years I have lived here and every time we get a glimpse of warm weather, the bitter cold tries to return. I've mentally decided I'm over it. I am more than ready for spring and when I saw these floral shorts in New York & Company last week on sale for 50% off, I was immediately in a spring state of mind.

Beauty | Wet 'n Wild Fergie Vicious Varnish High Shine Lip Stain Review
Hello Beauties!
I am a huge fan of drugstore beauty products and without a doubt, Wet 'n Wild is my favorite drugstore brand of them all. I love their staple products as well as their limited edition items! I particularly get tickled when I happen to visit my nearest Walgreens and see a new item that I didn't know about. This is exactly what happened to me a few months ago. I ran in to get a few items and stumbled upon the Fergie Vicious Varnish High Shine Lip Stains.

Natural Hair | What Are Crochet Braids?
Hello Beauties!
Life is kind of funny at times. The night before Valentine's Day, I had a hair emergency and found myself scrambling to find not only a hairstyle, but a hair stylist as well. As I remembered a stylist I met the weekend before, I found her Instagram page and saw crochet braids she had installed. I loved them! I had never worn crochet braids before, but I loved how natural they looked. Plus, they reminded me of a sew in I had previously.
