Hello all!

I am now officially back in arctic tundra known as Ohio. 

I now have to relearn how to be a functioning human being in 5 degree weather. 

Below are some pictures of me back in South Carolina where it was a wonderful 60 degrees outside and not a snowflake in sight!

These pants are the bomb. The loose fit, the sweet potato color (or pumpkin if you're into that), and the paperbag waist all blended together to form this unique piece. 

I decided to pair these statement making pants with a tight black sheer top. Since the pants had so much volume and can look super frumpy worn the wrong way, the top adds femininity and shows off some of my little curves. 

For the shoes I just wore my fake Balenciaga boots in order to, of course, add some of the bad ass factor to the outfit.

Over this winter break I have been pretty productive.

If you follow me on Instagram and have watched my story, you have seen me make some things, draw some things, and blog some things. I have had so much free time so I figured I might as well spend it wisely. 

With the new semester starting my free time is going to be a little more sparse, actually really sparse. But, I do really want to keep up this creative energy throughout the semester. 

I guess we'll see how that goes. 

These pictures were taken by Khadi G a talented, aspiring photographer located in South Carolina.

This faux leather top is everything! The sleeves add so much drama and make a potentially plain outfit chic and fashion forward. Plus voluminous sleeves are currently having a moment in fashion and this top is most definitely a statement. 

I decided to put a white turtleneck underneath because layers are always appreciated, especially in the winter time with the cold weather. 

For the bottoms I decided to pair it with these red trousers. Bright Flamin' Hot Cheeto red is a color that can be spotted everywhere and is really trending right now. The color looks good on everybody but, really pops on darker skin tones. So, if you haven't got a Flamin' Hot Cheeto colored item in your closet, you might want to invest.

I finished off the outfit with of course my Hi-Top Vans with the flames on the side. They match perfectly with the outfit and because they are sneakers add a sense of ease. But, if you really wanted to you could easily switch up the Vans with some heels to make it more formal. 

A while ago I was approached to model for a photoshoot, now the photos are finally here and edited and I am excited to share them with you all!

I decided to interview Ashlynn Thompson, a creative and ambitious individual, who was also one of the creative directors for the shoot, check it out below!

I feel like every other content creator is talking about the new year.

 Reminiscing on 2017 and making goals for 2018.

I guess I might as well hop on the band wagon also.

2017: It wasn't that bad. I ended my freshman year of college with a 3.6 GPA. I went to Korea and got my first job and my first real taste of money stocking shelves at the Commissary. I got to go skydiving. I got to go to a music festival and see Goldlink. For my first semester of my sophomore year I was really struggling but, I made it through. I got to see Kid Cudi (my favorite music artist ever) in concert. I got D's on my first two drawing portfolios and began to question my whole life but, I ended the class with a B. I also got to see SZA, Smino, and Raevyn Lenae in concert. Yup, that's pretty much it. 

My 2017 was okay. I don't meant to make my accomplishments seem less than, but I feel like I should be doing more. 

For 2018 I do have some goals that I would like to accomplish but they are a secret. 

As soon as I do accomplish them ya'll would be the first to know. 

One thing I will tell you guys that I am going to start doing in 2018 is keeping track of my accomplishments because I don't do that. So, each year's end as I am looking back, I feel as if I haven't progressed in my life. I feel stagnant. In order to keep track of my accomplishments i'm simply going to write it down on a slip of paper fold it and put it in a cute little jar. This way I can read them at the end of the year and it my also give me motivation to fill up the jar.
