Spring Breaks Out Neon

Weather has been a bit gloomy in NYC, but I was pleased to enjoy the change of scenery these past few days. When you work hard, you deserve a little "break" right? I have maintained my Senegalese braids for a few weeks and decided to style it into a creative braided bun I call, "Johnny Bravo". I wanted my hair in an updo style  to show the detail of my striped nude blouse with a strip of pink neon. My lipstick is Macs Candy Yum Yum. My neon coral wooden wedges complimented the outfit. The shoe really are quite bright in person!

Daily Fashion Project

Good Morning,

Happy Wednesday :-). I woke up to being featured as the latest fashion illustration (152)on Sunflowerman.com. All you have to is send in a stylish picture for a chance to be featured. Their website displays various fashionable drawings of men, but I was pleased to see that some women have been chosen as well :-). I will quote my statement that was featured from their website.Thank You Daily Fashion Project For The Feature. Back To The Books! Have a Blessed Week!

'As a young woman, I feel it's important that a dress should be tight enough to show your curves but loose enough to show you're still a lady. Fashion is more then being creative, it's a daily lifestyle that displays our personality and character. I always feel it's important for ladies to conduct themselves with class. My mood, my behavior and personality contribute to the level of class I display in what I wear. Fashion is meant to be creative, not competitive. Wear what you want, display how you feel, and live to inspire :-).'' - Barbara A.Adjei

Ankara Chic

I love African Prints and finally Was Able To Wear My Skirt ,Celebrating Ms.Doctor Aka My Sisters Birthday! So Busy At NYU, Glad She Was Able To Celebrate Her Special Day With Friends and Family. My Skirt Was Made In Ghana And The Designs Are So Intricate. I Paired It With a Coral Crop Top  And Accessorized With a Gem Necklace To Compliment The Pattern Of My Skirt. Each Design Sewn Is Made From Different Material.This Can Be Worn On The Waist Or As a High Waist. I Can Pretty Much Wear Any Colored Top Which Really Brings Out The Diversity Of This Skirt. I'll Be Sure To Post More Ankara And Other African Printed Designs. The Beauty of Bringing Designs To Life Truly Displays The Creativity Of Your Vision.

My SuperPower

Come On Ladies. Admit It. Every Woman's SuperPower Is S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G! A Smart Shopper Is The Best Shopper. I Buy What I like, But I think It's Very Important To Know That You Do Not Have To Spend A Million Bucks In Order To Look Like a Million Bucks. When You Have a Sense Of Style,A Price Tag Doesn't Mean Anything. I am Able to Look At Many Women and Men's  Outfits and Automatically Know Where It's From or Where They Shop.I Don't Know If That's Because I Love Fashion,But My Family and Friends Think It's Pretty Interesting.With Fashion Being So Diverse,I Think It's Pretty Fun and Many People Often Ask My Advice On Where To Shop. Do You Share My Superpower?Have a Good Evening Dolls

Who Loves Weddings? I Do!

I attended a beautiful Ghanaian wedding and decided to pull out my African Attire! My Auntie Dinah designed this dress for me in Ghana and I absolutely love it! The bustier section is traditional Kente which added more detail to my outfit. Unfortunately the bride didn't throw her bouquet so I wasn't able to fight for it..lol Love is Beautiful and it is always a blessing to see two people make such an important commitment to each other! I have more African prints in my closet so I hope to bring them out and share them with you :-). 

Simplicity

A Smile is a Universal Language That We All Understand. The Smile Behind Every Individual Tells So Many Stories. Life Isn't Easy, But I Have Been Blessed To Still Be Alive And Make a Difference In This World. Here I am Dressed In An All Black Detachable Button Dress and Color Block Peep-Toe Heels. Styled My Twists in a High Bun and Added Some Mac Ruby Woo For My Lips. 

Aztec Splash

I Attended An African Party Of a Family Friend. I Love Prints And Felt This Particular Skirt Would Make The Outfit Pop Without It Looking Over Done. Coincidentally, I Had a Necklace That Matched This Skirt Perfectly! Had So Much Fun!

Citrus Vibes

Hey Dolls, I Decided to Start My Summer With A Touch of Neon. I Feel Like Im So Use To Wearing Dark Colors That I Wear Colors I'm Not Quite Use To. Im Glad I Took a Walk On The Wild Side..lol I Received Many Compliments on My Dress and My 'Weapon' Pumps.lol. They're Actually Gold Spikes with a Multi Color Pattern.

I attended MissGhanaUSA Pageant about 2 weeks ago. My cousin, Rose Afriyie,was one of the finalists and I enjoyed the entire event.I worked as her activities coordinator,elevating her social network media and her mobile technology platform. My cousin won The Peoples Choice Award as well as discount trip for Ghana as the 2nd Runner Up :-). Enjoyed the fashion and creativity that all the contestants brought to represent Ghana :-).

Tangerine Crush

Black and White Has Been Quite A Popular Trend And I've Had Fun Mixing And Matching! Here Is One Way I Styled My Outfit Before Heading Out To Dinner. Don't Limit Yourself! Add A Pop of Color :-)

Snake Skin Fever

Hey Blognistas,

I enjoy wearing jumpsuits . The versatility and how comfortable the fitting is makes me feel good. I only wear jumpsuits with elastane because that is the only way I can actually sit down or walk around :-). Bold colors and prints work best, but just be careful in contrasting vs matching.

All You Need Is....

Chicken and Waffles

Good Afternoon. Productive Morning Workout Does The Body Good. After an Intense Workout, it is essential to have some breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. What makes cooking fun is the ability to be creative while still being able to taste flavor. I enjoy French toast, pancakes, or waffles. Pancakes seem like the most time consuming especially when you want them to be nice and fluffy. Homemade waffles can taste quite good if you have an effective waffle maker. My usual breakfast would be eggs, waffles, sausage, and waffles. When I'm in the mood for a more fulfilling brunch to tingle my stomach, I go for something different. Chicken and Waffles! YUM. Who Wants Some?

Curry Shrimp Stew

I Cooked Some Shrimp Stew. I Will Be Eating This With Some White Rice. Besides The Fact That I Love To Eat, I Love To Cook As Well. It Is Therapeutic And I Enjoy A Great Meal. I also Enjoy eating this with some sweet potato and yams.

Ingredients: Curry, Peppar, Tomatoes, Onions, Shrimp

Like Fine Wine, One Gets Better With Age

I'm Back! Thought I Would Update My Page By Starting With How I Brought In The New Year. Celebrated My Birthday 1/4/13. A Blessing To Turn Another Year! Enjoyed My Birthday Dinner With Loved Ones. Thai Food Spot In Downtown Was Delicious. My Dress Was Also Quite Tasteful As Well. Funny Enough, Kelly Roland's Grammy Dress Was Quite Similar To Mine. Others Say She May Have Gotten Her Idea From Me. Haha

Women Are Like Choices,Men Are Like Chances

I write this blog in hopes that it will inspire those who feel lost in love or lost in ever searching for love.

Women Are Like Choices, Men Are Like Chances. Some Women don't always make the right choices, and most men don't deserve the chances because they have not proven themselves worthy. Women in general mature more than men. You can never make anyone love you. You can only be YOURSELF and show how much you care for your significant other. Relationships should be 50/50, but expect the unexpected with EVERYONE. I knew someone that told me they broke off a 7yr relationship and enjoyed dating afterwards. Just because you have been with someone for so long, does not mean you are MEANT to be with them.

It isn't written in stone.My advice for women who have gotten out of long-term relationship is to ALLOW TIME TO HEAL before you move forward.The best way to move forward is to not look back,but KEEP GOING. Enjoy Casual Dating just for the Fun of it. You will learn a lot about yourself and what you expect when you are ready for another serious relationship. Men, when you miss out on the opportunity, you open the door for the next man to enter the woman's life. No one is perfect.The Choices you make determine the chances you will have in any relationship.In any relationship, if your choice is to be with a player, you put yourself at risk to be played.Your life won't be able to blossom, if you are not allowing yourself to grow.

Interesting Random Quotes

I enjoy writing my own quotes,but always find it interesting to read quotes that people pass around. Here are some of my favs including some by me as well!

"Have u ever noticed that Rolls Royce and Bentley don't have commercials? REASON: They know the value of their product &that is what brings the customers 2 them. LESSON: When u know your value, u don't have 2 beg people 2 be with u, spend time with u, love u or be a friend to u. Be confident in who… GOD made u 2 be. Everyone can't afford the LUXURY of your friendship :-)."

" To All you SINGLE ladies who are in such a hurry to get married, Here's a quick piece of Biblical advice: Ruth patiently waited for her mate, Boaz. While waiting on YOUR Boaz, don't settle for ANY of his relatives: Brokeaz, Poaz, Lyinaz, Cheatinaz, Dumbaz, Cheapaz, Lockedupaz, Goodfornothinaz, Lazyaz or Marriedaz... and especially his third cousin, Beatinyoaz. Please wait on your Boaz & make sure he respects Yoaz "
