Hello Happy Thursday! It’s been while since you all have seen me last. I just wanted to do a fun Q&A of 10 things you want to know about me. So here goes!?!?

1.What does my name mean? My name Akinyi comes from a Luo tribe in Kenya means born in the morning. What’s crazy I actually was born in the morning.

2. Favorite Color: Blues

3. How many siblings do you have? I have two sisters an older and younger, so I’m a middle child yeah and no middle child syndrome over here!

4. How tall are you? I’m 5’4

5. Favorite Blog: My two favorite blogs are Courtney Kerr at What Courtney Wore and Jenny at Crazy Style Love.

6. What is your blogging secret? I don’t think there is a secret to being a successful blogger. I think that anyone can be blogger, “what you put out is what you’ll receive”. You should make it a habitat to have different materials or blog posts. Be set apart from other bloggers by being who you are and embracing it!

7. Do you have pets? I have dog a rottweiler his name is Stone. He may look vicious, but he’s the most loyal and loving dog…

8. Favorite perfume: Jessica Simpson Fancy. This perfume smells so good on me, it has such a sweet smell!

9. Can you cook? Yeah actually, I do know how to cook. I learned a little bit of some skills from my mother. I mainly know how to cook Kenyan and American foods. What really helps my cooking skills, trying new recipes on recipe.com and yummly. I really think of cooking as an art there’s so many different creative ways to make a dish.

10. What’s your favorite thing to do besides blogging? I love exercising it really helps my self-esteem and of course blowing off some steam! On my spare time, I love browsing on you-tube and polyvore it’s such a great help with getting inspired.

I hope you enjoyed my Q&A, Let me know any questions you would like to know about me!

See you next time!

Hello Happy Thursday! I hope you didn’t miss me too much, I had the flu since last week. I’m back, I wanted to show you some photos from NYC! If you haven’t been following crop top trend, definitely incorporate within your wardrobe. Since, the 90’s crop tops are the most popular summer trend still continues to be booming. Crop tops work best with a-line skirt or high waisted bottom. For me, I’m not into exposing my stomach. I opted with wearing a high waisted skirt, but still staying on trend. Wear a crop top the way you feel comfortable in it. I like it when just showing a sneak peak of skin, not overexposed try for a more polished look!

See you next time!

NYC MEETS NEON….

June 11, 2014May 14, 2020 Fitsonme 1844 Views 5 Comments

Hello Happy Wednesday! I hope your having a wonderful week so far! I went to NYC a couple weeks ago for a Fashion Blogger Conference called BeautyCon. As a result, I took many pictures this look is what I wore to the conference. My photographer and I were rollin’ in Brooklyn and found some cool spots for this photo shoot. Looking through the pictures for this blog post today, I decided to just post all of the photos that I took. This first shoot was near an apartment that had a modern garage, it’s so interesting cause NY doesn’t really have garages let alone people don’t really drive!?!?

Walking around, we found this cool canvas. You won’t believe it, this wall is part of a mechanic shop. Well….. I’m sure you knew cause of these art logos. I like how it’s art, in NYC is all about, how art perceives to you?” This wall created a story of some young artist feeling inspired by the white canvas wall. Or they wanted make it known of the mechanic shop and the many cars to be fixed! Who knows they made a sign or story to me it’s ART…Sounds interesting?!?!

Oh course all this walking, sure made me want to sit. I found this church that had really cool stairs. I just sat down for a nice breezy Saturday! I actually love these photos because of it’s simplicity and how I’m just sitting down just relaxed. Honestly, I was looking at the sun, it was bit chilly that day….I still had a good photo shoot…

WHAT I WORE:

H&M: pants & Glasses

Unknown: Neon Tank

Forever21: Jean Vest

Target: Crop Jacke

Charming Charlie: Watch

Stella & Dot: Bracelet

TJMAXX: Flats

JustFab: Purse
Revlon: Eye & Lip Make-up

I hope you enjoy the photos see you next time!

Happy Wednesday! My first ever video review! I found this great way to sample free products on Scentbird,
ScentBird has 3 easy steps:

1. Try a free sample perfume for 5 days

2. Rate it depending on how it smells on your body

3. If you don’t like return it and try another sample for free, it’s so simple!

I love this site you can sample as many free perfume with no addition charge unless you keep the perfume. I tried J’adore Dior, it has such a sweet smell not too harsh. I may keep it well see how my bank account feels, even though the perfume is about $82, which is reasonable for good smelling perfume. It really smells good on my body!
