Reliving the final days of summer 2014… For the Edwing D’Angelo NYFW Spring 2015 show this past September, I went with basics topped off with gold accessories and a fab marley twist updo. Wanna know how to do this hairstyle? Check out style number six in this tutorial. Shoutout to vlogger Kala Garner of The KG Lifestyle for snappin’ these pics for a sista! Later gators! xoxo Toia B.

On an unseasonably warm November day, I made my way over to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade to help shoot some footage with Natasha of Mane Moves TV and Brooklyn Independent Media (deets on that to come). Of course, I had to represent for the BK! Here’s what I did… This leather/faux leather combo jacket was one of many gems I walked away with from an event organized by super stylish thrifter Afroista at Buy the Bag. Won it in a contest. Wooot! Hat: H&M (similar) | Scarf: H&M (love this!) | Jacket: (Thrifted) Bebe | Shirt: Old, Gap (very close) | Jeans: Old Navy | Boots: Target (pretty close) At about fourteen weeks pregnant, I was tired and beginning to… expand (LOL)! I needed to do something easy, comfortable and cute. Thank goodness those stretchy jeans still fit! Nothing is simpler that denim separates and riding boots. Hubby’s stylish fedora (which…

Matinée movie date with the hubs… work immediately afterwards. I finally dug my Pro-Keds out from under the bed a couple weeks ago. I had been rocking my very serious, good-for-your-feet running sneakers at work (lots of standing and walking involved in my job) but I thought it was about time I break out the fun kicks. Scored these puppies at the no longer existing Daffy’s department store some years back. Of course, that isn’t what I went for but I couldn’t pass up the deal, especially since they were the last pair in the store and in my size. They were waiting for me! 😉 Fast forward a few years and I find myself in Target picking up some basic tees and wuddyaknow?! They’ve got a tee to match my sneaks! Tuh-HA! All ya need is a good pair of jeans and BOO-YA! Outfit done. p.s. Guardians of the…

I can’t get enough of skirts in the summertime! The maxi is a definite love but what really makes me wanna skip through a meadow is a great-fitting circle skirt… the midi, more specifically. What better way to represent at a breakfast and hair care line presentation with the crew at SoftSheen-Carson than to get a little ‘dolled-up’ with my (relatively) new favorite BRIGHT floral midi skirt! Skirt: H&M | Cropped Cotton Blazer (old): Forever 21 | White Tank: Target | Shoes: Necessary Clothing | Bag (old): H&M | Necklace: Unknown Because I’ve been ‘cursed’ with a larger *cough* posterior in conjunction with a tiny waist, finding clothing that fits properly can be challenging. I’ve found that an A-line silhouette suits me best and I seldom need to make any adjustments to dresses or skirts of this kind. If any, it’s very minimal. This beauty hits the waist just right and…

Who passes up 56 cent pancakes at IHOP?! Not THIS girl! Heading over to the Union Square/Gramercy restaurant to get our grub on, comfort was the name of the game. It couldn’t get anymore… comfortabler– HA!- than this cotton maxi skirt from H&M. Representing my brand, I paired this cozy maxi with my Natural Beauty tank. Did you catch the way my hair matches the graphic {drawn my the hubster, btw}? Teehee! 😉 I love this skirt so much, I wore it again the next day… and then bought this one! The best part, which I forgot to show off in these pics, is that it’s got POCKETS! Weeee! Besides the comfort, this maxi is so versatile and super easy to just throw on to go wherever. Definitely THE summer essential! Are you as huge a fan of maxi skirts as I am?! How do you like to rock yours? xoxo Toia…
