JEFFREY CAMPBELL.

It seems like I've been waiting forever to purchase the Jeffrey Campbell Spiked Litas and I was able to get my hands on them for only $173 from Karmaloop! They can indeed be used as a weapon and they are a bit dangerous if you're not careful while putting them on, but boy are they fierce! I think they might be my favorite pair of heels!

WE WILL ROCK YOU. | 8-31-12

So here at North Carolina Central University, I have met a lot of great people with artistic views like myself (as in fashion, photography, etc.) I was super excited when I met a young man who goes by the name of Chinedu Okwara (Chin for short) and it's like we instantly clicked. Come to find out, he owns a Nikon and is an aspiring photographer. He asked me if I wanted to take any pictures and of course I said yes. Here are a few of them:

Vibrant, huh?

FIRST DAY OF COLLEGE. | 8-13-12

Transitioning from high school to university life was such a big challenge for me. I remember crying as soon as my parents left on move in night and the fact that I didn't have a roommate to vent to or talk to about my feelings just tore me all up. I laid in my twin size bed and stared up at the ceiling, having the urge to call my parents to come pick me back up. The first couple of days were hard, but luckily I had some high school mates with me that I could hang with and eventually, the campus felt like home. I still reminded myself that I needed to stay faithful to taking outfit of the day photos.

I really liked this outfit because of the shirt that I did on my own using a 'Dip Dye Do It Yourself' tutorial. I just took an old uniform shirt, cut off the sleeves, and dipped it in a bucket of green dye, creating this effect:

WHERE HAVE I BEEN?

Gosh, it's been almost three months since I last updated this blog...three months?! That's crazy. The college life has really been taking over me -- I barely have time for anything. But I have been faithfully taking pictures of my outfits and I'm here now to update (seeing that I'm on a well needed Fall Break). I apologize to you guys for not updating like I should. That stops now.

(This picture is old and random but I thought I'd post it anyway.)
