In the Mix

Today I handled business for The RAD Shop, school, and had drinks and lunch with a friend.

I had dying to wear these paisley print shorts and mix them with another print and today I got to do just that. I paired my outfit with strappy single sole sandals and my favorite almost cat-eye but not quite sunglasses and I was off!

Music Monday

I've had a Twitter since 2009 back when Twitter was all jokes and trending topics and I wish Twitter was still like that. One of my favorite trending topics was #MusicMonday. I got to share what music I was listening to and discover new music from all over the world. In honor of the good ole days, I present you with my Music Monday, a collection of music that as of recently, I cant stop listening to.


I swear that I grew up in LA in the 90's. I can't stop playing those classic Westside songs such as Nuthin But A G Thang and It Was A Good Day.







I've been meaning to post on this mixtape for a while but I kept putting it off for some reason lol. Anyway rapper Rome Fortune is quickly getting a buzz and making a name for himself on the Atlanta Scene. He was featured on XXL's list of ATL rappers you should know and Lil Debbie even cosigned him on Instagram. His mixtape, 'Beautiful Pimp' is one of the most solid projects I've heard from an up and coming Atlanta artist in a while and it is definitely worth the download.

My favorites from the mixtape are DanceDance, Ice Cream Man, and Money Ministries (which I cannot go one day without playing lol).

Check out the trailer for Beautiful Pimp:





I've never been a mega J-Cole fan but he has definitely made some songs that I can get behind and support. When I saw everyone tweeting about his new song, "Power Trip", I definitely was not in a rush to go download it. However, when hanging out with friends I heard the song and I have to admit that it is a great song. Miguel gives me life!

Check out the video below:






And last but certainly not least, I loved Ciara since her Goodies dance but she lost me after she released her sophomore album. She's had a few singles here and there that I've enjoyed but for the most part, I haven't really been able to get into her. I love her new song "Body Partty" though! It has the sexiest vibe and the random crooning from her boyfriend Future in the background give the song the extra something that it needs.

Check out her amazing video below:

Can You Do It?


The RAD! Swimsuit Shoot

On Thursday, I had a photo shoot for the swimsuits that will be available for sale in my boutique, The RAD! Shop! 

This was my third time working with the model, Dior. She's so beautiful and sweet and she's so goofy that the shoots never feel that long or have a dull moment lol. 

I did a little bit of styling work, but not too much because this shoot was more about showcasing the swimsuits. 

Check out some photos below: 






The Little Skater Girl

Yesterday was the celebration for my friend D'Mani's 21st birthday! A bunch of us gathered at the Embassy Suites by Perimeter Mall and had a great time.

I was entirely too excited to wear the dress I had bought from American Apparel earlier this year. The full skirt makes me feel mine a ballerina or an ice skater. I paired the dress with a pair of nude strappy single sole sandals, a few pieces of gold jewelry, and a dark plum lip.

Dress: American Apparel
Shoes: Forever 21
Necklace: RAD!

Serving Neutrals With A Splash of Neon

I love neutral colors. Don't ask me why but since I was able to dress myself and/or buy my clothes I've always gravitated towards neutral colors.

However, I've been pushing myself out of my comfort zone lately and buying shoes, bags and dresses in bright colors. I guess, I just really got into the spring fever moment lol.

I was going out with a group of friends for drinks and dinner and I wanted an outfit that was simple and chic. I loved the shape of the slouchy tee, and the neon single sole sandals and clutch made an otherwise tame outfit really pop.

Leggings: Atlanta boutique
Shoes: Prabal Gurung for Target
Clutch: The RAD! Shop
Cuff: Forever 21
Necklace and Chain Bracelet: RAD!
