Happy Saturday! I hope your doing well I’m trying to prepare for fashion week. So I’m super busy, I’m already in a lot of shows and it’s not February yet!?!?…the best is the designers contacting you to come to their shows. 

For me, I spend a month writing email pitch letter to PR companies and waiting for a response. I just send as many as 50 pitch letters and only getting into wait for it…LIKE ONLY 10!!!! Not to mention picking the best looks that will get me noticed! As I get older I’m about comfortable wear for clothes and shoes…especially, I can’t mess up my feet with the 6 inch heels…I’ll pass!!! Once I do that it’s about mixing and matching. I think as a blogger you already know what’s going to pop in a photo! 

I think this season, I’m going back to my preppy side with some edgy and polished pieces. So stay tuned to what I’m going to be wearing for fashion week!!! 

See you next time!!!

Happy Wednesday!!!! Have you been in a moment where your mood has been set. That’s how I feel sometimes getting dressed. I go on my moods when putting on a outfit. It can be crazy sometimes but sometimes it can be a cool outcome. In this look it was centered around my pencil jean skirt. I really like to show my curves in a modest way not like, hey “I Have Curves”. It’s good to keep a little to the imagination.  

I’m very cautious about it, I could never go outside with tight clothing. It would totally make me self-conscious. Even though people out here trying to get butt implants. Sorry I had to go there!!!! I should totally embrace it. Let’s give up to my curves and not caring…right!?!?!

How do you show your curves? 

See you next time!?!?!

Happy Friday! I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted! I needed a break from blogging just to actually enjoy life right now….I really have reflected alot during that time…I really need to have ME time! It’s good to take breaks and come back feeling more refreshed wth new ideas and creativity boosting out of you! Today, I want to feel like the new Akinyi that’s confident loves life..I was at a place I was ok with certain things in my life. I felt like I wasn’t growing. Sometimes you have to close one door to open another door…Otherwise you won’t get to your full potential when you feel stuck! One of my friends told me, just push yourself with blogging. At the time I was not in a god place I was really sad and depressed….I felt like I needed something to distract me at the time. So my baby right now is blogging!!!! And he believed in me cause I felt like some people didn’t believe in me..but least he did! Sometimes you need a cheerleader in your life…you know!!!! I’m just showing all of me which is Akinyi the good the bad and maybe the pretty! Sorry I had to get deep!?!?!

Now about my look, I choose this look, cause I like minimal looks now..I’m all about just adding a pop of color…If you noticed I wear things on repeat. Who doesn’t love faux fur, it’s the best go to for winter. You can dress up and down ultimately you look fabulous! Doesn’t it make you look so chic. I’m telling you all wear this faux fur coat all year long…hehehe What I love about this jacket you can wear it with all black, blues, browns, whites, most colors…This trend won’t go out of style anytime soon! So definitely get this faux fur jacket…Lucky I got this jacket at forever21 for like $19.99….STEAL!?!?!

I hope you enjoy this look!!!! 

See you next time!

How to wear a detailed jacket? This jacket is like no other kind of jacket. What to remember is wearing a detailed jacket work with the colors that are in the jacket. There’s too many possible color combinations!?!?! Go for solid colors no prints it will make this look to busy. Depending on the colors you choose pair it with complimentary shades.I like this trend because if you want to add a little spark to your wardrobe definitely add a detailed leather jacket. You don’t need to try to hard by adding to your look! I got this cool detailed jacket at zaful for $35 which is such a reasonable buy. Anyone can get this detailed leather jacket anywhere, don’t miss out on this trend!!!!

 See you next time!!!

Revlon: Purple Pencil  

Hello Happy Thursday! Do you feel like sometimes you need to reinvent your style? I got this cool matchy-matchy peplum top and pencil skirt at Kmart…Yes Kmart! I wanted to wear this look for a long time but didn’t have the right shoes to go with this look…. I think we underestimate the things we can find in reasonable price stores. I’m all about a bargain this look cost me under $40. What I’ve learned when reinventing your style don’t try to hard. I would actually wear this look. All I changed were the shoes. I’m telling you the shoes really make an outfit. If I decided to wear black shoes this look would look completely different. I’m glad I paired this look with my doll kills clear blue booties which I got for $58. I feel I can wear these shoes with anything. Clear booties are in because you can practically wear any shade except brown unless it’s tan or camel…that’s the only exception. 

So here’s to reinventing yourself!!!! 

See you next time!!!!

WHAT I WORE: 

 Nike: Sports Bra

Karen Millen: Jacket  

H&M: Pants 

Maybelline: Lipstick 

NYS Collection: Sunnies

Hello Happy Thursday!!! When you realize that you exercise way too much that you’re not taking off your comfy nike sports bra. Honestly, I work out every single day the only day off I give myself is Sunday..I mean I need to rest!!! On the blog, I’m starting a new series called #fitwithfitsonme it’s all about my fitness journey. How I make it a apart of my lifestyle. Before, I use to look frumpy and unhealthy. I try to stay away for my starches and carbs it makes me bloated…I eat healthier foods for breakfast oatmeal with chia seeds and almond butter my favorite. I stay away from rice and eat more salads, avocados, and anything green!!!..man it’s so hard but I’m getting use to it!

Inspiration for my look: I was looking at other bloggers wearing crop tops and bras. I was saying to myself, I feel a little confident in wearing my sports bra out! It’s so fashionable that I can get away with it wearing it as a top. I’m just showing my stomach…and I’m not 100% fit yet but I’m almost there. But I’m getting there each day cause I’m telling you it’s a process just to be fit. I’m at point where I’m just on feeling good than looking good because that will come afterwards…right!?!?! It’s take time, dedication, and motivation. Ultimately looking your best is really how you feel. I think I feel better than how I was 2 months ago when I was depressed and sad about life and the way I looked. I’m advocate of working out and being consistent in doing so…don’t talk about it be about it…Guess what with patience you’ll get to your goal weight!!!
