Dinner On A Boat at La Borca Cantina – High Slit Mini Dress

Oyinkan

I’m totally not a dinner girl. Brunch is my favorite thing to do. I somehow got convinced to dine at La Borca Cantina at Pier 81 and there were definitely some pros and cons. Best part is I finally got to wear this neutral high-slit mini dress that perfectly fit the occasion. I accessorized the look with the Befitting Style Marvel White Earrings and white Zara heels. Brunch is life but when my best friend, Marllory Perez said she prefers to do dinner instead of brunch to celebrate her 31st birthday, its…

Multicolor Stripe Dress – Christopher John Rogers for Target

Oyinkan

When I laid my eyes on this multicolor stripe dress designed by Christopher John Rogers for Target, I immediately thought I would wear it as a dress. Little did I know that once I threw it on for Lon Burgundy’s Flatbush Mixer, it would end up being a top for the evening. I had to throw on the Befitting Style Serenity Earring from the Bliss Collection! The more color blocking, the better. I absolutely love this hairstyle! Its my fave for the summer! The bigger the hair, the better. Check out how I…

Multicolor Dress From Target – Christopher John Rogers

Oyinkan

I found a multicolored dress from Target. I don’t know about you but I’m absolutely in love with the Christopher John Rogers collection at Target. I’m currently listening to The Cutting Room Floor by Recho Omondi while typing this blog post and realized that this is truly one of my favorite podcasts of all time and I listen (and watch) a lot of podcasts but that’s just how great this podcast is. The Visual Lexicon episode which aired on June 23, 2021 featured Christopher John Rogers. I already knew he’s…

Blue Stripe Dress – Marvel White Earrings

Oyinkan

For an evening hangout, I wore a blue stripe one-shoulder dress. What I love most about this dress is the asymmetrical silhouette at the shoulder which is definitely inspired by Self Portrait. A few years ago, it was hard to scroll down Instagram and not see bloggers wearing Self Portrait dresses and tops. The aesthetic is so unique that its hard not to notice. When I found this dress at an affordable price, I had to snag it. When I purchased this dress years ago, I thought I would have…

Can Modest Swimwear Still Be Fun?

Oyinkan

I find that many don’t opt for modest swimwear anymore. Bikinis have gotten tinier over time and with most bikinis fitting like a thong nowadays, partially covering your butt feels like a thing of the past. Realizing that swimwear has gotten smaller leads me to wonder if modest swimwear can still be fun or is it now categorized as a little grandma-ish? I hung out by the pool in an off-the-shoulder high waist bikini that surprisingly covers a decent amount of my butt. It reminds me of the bikinis that…

Will Floral Prints Ever Go Out of Style?

Oyinkan

I grew up loving floral prints simply because I’ve always loved flowers so naturally as an adult, I’m still drawn to floral patterns. Florals have been a staple in the fashion industry long before I even came on this earth but I sometimes wonder if it’ll come and go like many other things. What I love most about this floral dress is also what I dislike the most about this dress – the tiny buttons placed vertically down the middle. I love the aesthetic it creates and how polished tiny…

How To Wear Swimwear As A Regular Outfit

Oyinkan

I purchased this Matte Swim yellow printed bikini about two years ago and although I fell in love with the print, I didn’t like how revealing the bottom piece is for this two piece bikini. Because I’m the Queen of keeping & remixing my clothes, I knew the top can definitely come in handy as a crop top. I paired it with a lace cover up and faux leather shorts (yes I believe in wearing leather in warmer weather). Wearing swimwear as a regular outfit is super simple. When remixing…

Neutrals in the Summer – Brown Monochrome

Oyinkan

I love wearing bright colors but neutrals also have a special place in my heart. My love for a brown monochrome look is influenced by how amazing it looks on my skin tone! I initially laid my eyes on this brown off-the-shoulder top in Zara while in Los Angeles and to stop impulse shopping, I decided not to get it. Seeing it again in New York was the only sign I needed to purchase it. The best part is it was on sale in New York (a bonus sign) so…

Wear Tweed In The Summer

Oyinkan

Many may think I’m crazy for saying wear tweed in the summer as tweed is a fabric usually reserved for cooler seasons because of its very thick fabric. Being the Queen of wearing anything throughout all seasons, I’ll always find a way to make things work. When I laid my eyes on this tweed dress from Zara, I knew I had to have it! It was easy for me to wear this tweed dress during such warm weather because it’s not as thick as the average tweed material and the…

You Deserve The Best – Cali Swim Bathing Suit

Oyinkan

I find that black women are constantly told to humble themselves when partaking in the finer things in life. Whether it’s going on a simple excursion or buying high-end items, black women are normally told not to show up as their full vibrant selves and of course, I disagree with that! Some people tend to put others down when to feel better about themselves. Whether they tell others they don’t belong in certain spaces or they shouldn’t be buying certain things (even if they have the money for it). It’s…
