5 Summer-to-Fall Looks

Hello Sunshine!

Labor Day signifies the unofficial end of Summer. With that comes the awkward time of year between Summer and Fall when you just don’t know what to wear. Fear not! I bet you already have some items in your closet that you can easily transition from Summer to Fall. Here are some ideas to help you layer up as you double down on Fall Fashion!

1. Kaftans are for more than the beach!


Do you have a favorite kaftan or beach cover-up that you’re not quite ready to pack away yet? Layer it over a long-sleeved shirt and some jeans. If that Fall wind gets a bit too breezy, add boots and a hat for a cozier feel!

2. Cardigan for the WIN!


Fall Fashion is all about layers! One easy way to add a layer of warmth without sacrificing style is a cardigan. Throw an oversized cardigan over your summer shorts or button up a fitted cardigan for a more polished look. 

3. Jean Jackets are always a yes! 


Just about any Summer dress or skirt can be upgraded to Fall Fashion with the addition of the classic Denim Jacket. Get creative with a jacket that suits your style—fitted or oversized. And when the Fall afternoon sun hits just right, take it off and tie it around your waist for practicality and style.

4. Dress up that Denim!


I fell in love with these cute Bell Bottom Jeans from my guilty pleasure, SHEIN. You better believe I’ll be rocking these all Fall with crop sweaters or even a fitted turtleneck. Top them off with some cute ankle boots and you’ve got yourself a LOOK! 

5. Keep it Sexy!

That sexy dress that turned heads ALL SUMMER can be remixed into a Fall date-night MUST! Just layer it over a fitted turtleneck and booties or dress it down with a t-shirt and sneakers. Either way, you’ll look flirty and fun and ready to take on the night!

Take a peek into your closet and see how you can transition your own Summer looks! You don’t have to break the bank shopping for trends every season—take it from this budgetnista! What Summer transitions do you think you’d try? Comment below!

As always, my prayer is that you’re happy, healthy, and fun sunshine wherever you are! Happy Almost Fall!

Hello Sunshine!  There’s a new trend gaining popularity that combines two of my favorite things: art and taking pictures! Pop-Up Art Exhibitions are popping up all over the country showcasing innovative and interactive art installations from local and international artists.  Check out these 3 Pop-Up Art Exhibitions where you’re guaranteed to  have a great time AND get the perfect pic for the gram!  The Black Hair Experience This exhibition pairs “nostalgic moments of culture with affirmations of self-love.” I was fortunate enough to visit the DMV location and from the moment I walked in, I was greeted with the sights and sounds of Black Girl Magic! I enjoyed over a dozen “Instagram-able” installations ranging from the aisles of a hair store to a hair roller pit! Iconic Black magazine covers and colorful murals created inspiring backdrops as I toured the exhibition. I concluded my visit with a stop at the Hair Oil Lab where I received my own hair oil mixture!  The staff was friendly and

10 Things To Think About Since the World "Re-Opened"

Hello Sunshine! We've spent over 15 months in quarantine adjusting and readjusting almost every aspect of our lives, from our jobs to our family dynamics.  It almost seemed like we'd never return back to "normal" and that our new lives, consisting of never-ending zoom calls and drive-by celebrations, would become the "new normal."   With the combined efforts of modern science and old-fashioned common sense, we're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We're two months into summer and the CDC has lifted mask mandates and social-distance guidelines.  Shops and restaurants are operating at full capacity.  Schools and workplaces are preparing for a return to productivity.  Friends and family are reuniting after months of being apart.  Communities are gathering for the first time in over a year.  And personally, I feel like I'm finally releasing the stress of teaching both virtually and in-person during the most "unprecedented"
