Hello, Happy Sunday! A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of going to Blush Med Institute where they invited Stella & Dot’s, amazing stylist Rene Kauder , who hosted a fabulous trunk show. Immediately, she introduced herself and made me feel more than welcome. She gave me the freedom to choose from any of the Stella & Dot merchandise that appealed to me. For those of you that love to try on stuff, all Stella & Dot merchandise was displayed to be accessible to the customer. You could try on from different necklaces, bracelets, bags, and even scarves. That’s what I loved about this show; you were not pressured into purchasing items that are not your style.  I was excited to buy this trendy statement piece, a coral necklace! I cannot wait to get it in the mail soon!

 

Happy Thursday! So Sunday was my BIRTHDAY, I’ll still be celebrating ’till the end of this week!……..oh yeah it was father’s day too (shoot out to my dad, he’s the best dad ever!)…I kept the celebration small with good friends and family. I’ve notices, whenever I’ve had a birthday people always ask my age, I’m usually scared tell them my age (Let’s see if you can guess my age?) Seriously, my face doesn’t match my age. Maybe I’ll appreciate this when I’m forty…

I made a list of seven things that I will try to accomplish for being one year older:

1. For this year,  my motto is out with old and in with the new
2. Getting rid of my old clothes that I don’t wear
3. Reflecting on my direction in my life (especially how to make my blog the way I want it to be )
4. Finishing things that I’ve started
5. My number 1 rule don’t waste time on silliness straight up I’m too old for silliness
6. Striving to be the best Akinyi I can be (Hopefully, you’ll like the new me)
7. Enjoying times spent with my close friends and family

Cheers to getting one year older and thanks for all the support that you all have given my blog !!!!

Tell me, what is the best or worst birthday you’ve had so far?

P.S. Sorry you can’t really see my dress, it’s a-line dress with green stripes. The pictures have too much lighting, I hope you still enjoy the photos!

 
WHAT I WORE:

Happy Monday! I forgot to mention, when I went to Hilton Head Island, SC (for my friends wedding), there were so many outlets. One of the stores, I came across was the Kenneth Cole store. I originally went into the store not wanting to buy anything.  I couldn’t resist, as I saw this shoe I absolutely fell in love…hahaha I tried on the shoe almost three times by the third time, I put the shoe back (crazy right?) The cashier was like your not getting that shoe it’s 50% off…What!?!? I literally ran back to get them, I told you I had fell in love…Such a steal!

Well, I have a confession,……I’m a polka dot MANIAC, I have everything imaginable of polka dots….lol. To me polka dots are like the new black, they’ll never go out of style. This print is incredibly playful, classic, and darn right you can wear it to any occasion. I decided to wear this dress to church, which is such a perfect church attire. What I love about this dress, you can change it from day to night by just adding more color with a bright necklace or bracelets.  Certainly polka dots are a timeless pattern, but by far eye-catching!

So, you’ll get the chance to see 6 more outfits with the Kenneth Cole pump at the end of this challenge rate the best look! Have a good rest of the week!
 

 WHAT I WORE:

Happy Thursday! This post is dedicated to young lives that have been tragically cut short. I decided to wear this camouflage look because it reminds me of our troops that are fighting, sacrificing, and dying for our country.  Life is very precious and we can go at any time. We can die in a war or even walking down the street.  We often forget what is important in this world and do not think anything can happen to us. Life is too short and we have to live life to the fullest. I really give my condolences to Shane Gandee’s family and friends. He was an upcoming MTV star on the show called Buckwild (and yes, I watched this show…it was completely hilarious) whose life was cut short at 21 years of age.  I really admired his tenacity to not care what people think and just to be himself. RIP…. Shane Gandee.  We all have one life and everyone has an expiration date. Let’s be ready. Have nice day and be safe out there!
