OOTD: Crushed Velvet

Still can't believe summer is over! I have made a vow to myself that by the age of 30 I will live somewhere that is hot all year round! Chilly weather is for the birds, and even they migrate south (pun fully intended). So since I'm stuck in the great white north, I'm going to have to stay warm. This fall, I have fallen (I am on a rolllll) in love with crushed velvet. Crushed velvet has a more lustrous appearance than regular velvet which I think gives the material much more personality. It feels very nice to the touch, and can be easily dressed up or down to suit any look you're going for. And did I mention this baby will keep you nice and warm this coming season?

Miley Cyrus Inspired OOTD

I decided to play dress up yesterday! My awesome friend who is killing the game with his videos came over from Atlanta, so I had to get him to do a video for me. We did a OOTD concept and he did an amazing job! He taught me a few things, so for upcoming videos I think I’ll be straight… well, let’s hope!

Check out my Miley Cyrus inspired OOTD!

A Woman of Versatility

I am a woman of versatility. I like to switch it up. For months, I have been thinking about cutting off my hair and starting over. But, I know I would enjoy it for a couple of months and then holler for my hair to grow back. Also, I wasn’t sure how the short haircut would fit me. I’ve been told I could probably do anything except going short. But, I wanted to see for myself. I wanted to try the short haircut, but still be able to rock my length. So, I looked up a few short hairstyles and fell in love with the pixie cut. I went to my hairdresser and got a customized wig, so I could switch it up whenever I wanted to. I absolutely love the cut and this has inspired me to eventually get the big chop!

OOTD: Graduation Weekend!

I am officially an alumnus of Oakwood University. Yay! I've graduated! I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Pre-Law, a concentration in Political Science and a minor in Business Management.

I no longer will be living with my two Purple Lipstick besties, Rachael and Kalila. But, don't worry, Purple Lipstick will still be functioning! We ain't going nowhere! But, you will gain a deeper understanding of us individually as we embark on different paths. I will surely miss my girls and will see them from time to time. So, look out for collaborative posts of the Purple Lipstick gang when we reunite again!

Graduation went by so fast. It was one of the most important and greatest day of my life. Four years of toil and labor has finally ended. Well, although I wore a robe for the entire graduation weekend, I still "glammed" up underneath. After all, it is my graduation!
