Had To Try Maybelline x Shayla + Fit Me Foundation and Powder

Oyinkan

I love when companies acknowledge women of color and there’s no greater way to show appreciation than collaborating with a woman of color! Towards the end of summer, Maybelline and MakeupShayla created the Maybelline x Shayla eyeshadow palette as a part of the City Mini collection. I previously tried one other city mini and wasn’t too crazy about it but my love for Shayla’s videos convinced me to give this collection another try. I also figured why not try the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation and Powder as well. Take a peek at…

Navy Bustier + Yellow Ruffle Shorts – Miami Swim Week 2017

Oyinkan

The final day of Miami Swim Week was jam packed with shows back to back. One of my favorite highlights of the week are the free workout classes provided by Swim Week. I spent Saturday twirling around in a tulle skirt and was certain that I was going to wake up early and head straight to the boxing class. To my surprise,  I ended up not attending the workout class. I’ve been so diligent with my gym workouts every morning that I just wanted to relax on Sunday and it felt amazing! No gym session, no boxing…

Tulle Overboard – Miami Swim Week 2017

Oyinkan

If there’s one thing that Wendy Williams and I have in common, it would be the love for tulle. For Day two of Miami Swim Week, I had to bring out one of my style favorites, a tulle skirt (also known as a tutu). I love tulle because it makes me feel so girly and dainty and I believe you are never too old for a tutu. I twirled my way to the Soho Beach House to check out Makalo Swimwear and several others, then off to the Sports Illustrated Swim show afterward. I kept the same neutral makeup…

Sports Illustrated Swim For All – Miami Swim Week 2017

Oyinkan

Sports Illustrated is known for their coveted magazine but they recently launched their swim line during Miami Swim Week! Because their cover girls tend to sizzle in bikinis, I expected two things: sexy and sporty. It’s been a long time coming and I’m actually surprised that they waited this long to start a swimwear line. What I love most about it is how inclusive it is. Created for women of many sizes, the bathing suits were created with real women in mind, which comes at no surprise as Sports Illustrated has showcased…

100 Swimsuits & Bikinis Under $50 | Befitting Steals

Oyinkan

Am I the only one that gets excited just from thinking about wearing bikinis?! Swimwear is on my top list of things to buy and over indulge on this summer. I have a bunch and for some reason, I always want more. Swimwear can be so expensive nowadays costing the same as regular clothes (many costs more than regular clothes) which I think is unacceptable. While it’s okay to splurge on swimwear that you can’t get off your mind, you should be able to get a great bang for your buck…

20 Shorts To Chill in This Summer

Oyinkan

Summertime calls for countless amounts of barbecues, picnics and just lounging around with friends. I tend to gravitate towards shorts for these festivities as its much more comfortable for hangouts as it doesn’t inhibit me from getting a little active when it’s time to play. With American Independence Day right around the corner and being in the midst of festival season, shorts are definitely the way to go! I usually go for shorts with a bit of character. Ruffles are kinda the key to my heart. LOL! I own a few…

First Day of Summer | Black & White Bikini

Oyinkan

Happy Summer!!! Today is the first day of summer and I’m sooo excited for what this season will bring! As much as I love colorful swimwear, there is nothing like a great black and white bikini. A black and white bikini is an easy neutral for many to wear without being too bland with a monochromatic bikini that only features one hue. I was drawn to this bikini because of its pattern. The zebra print mixed with the polka dots had me hooked. I knew I couldn’t leave Victoria’s Secret without it. Unable to find the…

The 3 Looks That’ll Ease You Into Vacation

Oyinkan

Spring is coming to an end and Summer is just one day away. When I think of summer, I envision myself exploring different environments and having fun. Summer is the season most traveled as most people tend to get away during warmer months. Vacation is the time for easy breezy looks. You shouldn’t have to work as hard to get dressed as you would while at home. When I think of vacations, my mind immediately goes to being young wild and free! Wearing loose fitting clothes that hang right off the…

Take A Dip With A Floral Bathing Suit

Oyinkan

If I had to choose between a bikini and a bathing suit, I would pick a bikini. I’ve always liked almost baring it all, showing as much skin as possible because being at a pool means I’m surrounded by warm weather which I love much more than the snow and hail that New York offers. This is not my first time wearing a bathing suit. I’ve worn many over the years but when I decided to get away for a bit, I made sure I packed this Bagley Mischa floral bathing suit. While packing…

4 Ways To Wear Fringe Belts To Work

Oyinkan

Fringe is often chosen for fun looks worn when hanging out. I believe fringe should also be worn to work. With fall fringes being all the rage this season, there are many different types of fringe accessories. Fringe necklaces and earrings tend to be worn quite often but what about the fringe belt? A fringe belt adds a little sass to any look. If the look is plain, add a fringe belt and if your look is already fabulous, a fringe belt can take it to the next level of fabulousity! Here are…
