Summer is here you guys (finally)! It was looking kind of shaky for a while but here it is. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am. I plan on making Summer 2016 one for the records books. My plans include hitting up some of my favorite beaches. As with every visit there are a few items that make my visit just a bit more enjoyable, after talking to the swimwear and sexy plus size lingerie team at AdoreMe about #BeachDayMusts, I decided to share a few things that are my absolute must haves when I hit the sand.

I Wanna Remix My Midi Skirt
I’m all for making the most out of my wardrobe. In fact just recently I took my Gap Midi Skirt (You remember, the skirt that I wore at the Essence Street Style Block Party. If not refresh your memory here.) and transitioned it into a snazzy fall look. There are so many items in our own closet that we can remix or transition from one season to the next by simply adding and replacing key pieces. Not only is it fun recreating different looks but it also helps saves us from overspending. A total win, right? Here are some really simple ways you can transition some of your clothing into fall.
Layer It On:
Fall is absolutely a perfect time to incorporate layering. The dropping temps haven’t quite hit bubble coat weather but it’s still a chill in the air that will require maybe a light sweater topped with a light jacket. In my case I used a turtle neck and a trench coat.
Add Boots:
Nothing says Fall like putting away your sandals and replacing them with a sexy boot. It’s an automatic indicator that we have left summer behind and are heading into cooler temps and longer nights. Try falling into fall with a cute bootie or a over the knee boot.
Get Vampy:
Vampy lips (think dark maroons and deep purples) have always been a popular choice for me any time of the year but Vampy Lips are just the accessory (yes I think it's accessory) you need to kick off your fall looks.

I Wanna Shop: Fall Editon
Boots: Forever 21 | Tulle Skirt: Similar | Sneakers: Nike | Bralet: New Look | Lip Color:NYX Soft Matte Lip | Perfume: Pacifica Perfume
Am I the only one that creates a full shopping wishlist in my head. I know there has to be someone else out there who does this. Either way I've been holding on to my above wish list (in my head) for quite a while now. I've always viewed the fall as a season of transition and these items are all perfect for this transitional time of the year.
Do you have a fall shopping wishlist?

Like many folks along the east coast I've been a sitting duck for the last two days all thanks to Sandy. Like any normal person in this situation I've been stuffing my face every two seconds, catching up on TV sitcoms via Netflix and off course internet shopping/browsing. See what Sandy is doing to me. She's turning me into a shopaholic who will more than likely end up gaining an extra five pounds. Damn you Sandy. Here are a few things that I've been eyeing.
Sending prayers to those who were affected by the Hurricane.

Stand Out
Stand out red lips are definitely one of the many things that I will be sporting this fall and winter. All variations from rusty reds to maroons, to gloss to mattes, I'm game for it all. Although this attention grabbing look is classified as more of a night time look wearing it in the day is not unheard of. Achieving a bold red lip for the daytime is quite simple. The key is to keep the eyes neutral. A bit of concealer, eyeliner, mascara and a neutral eyeshadow is all you'll need to play down those eyes. Last week I played in my face (yes I still play in my makeup) and practiced stand out look using Inglot's Matte Collection AMC Lip Pencil in #34. Click inside to see what I came up with
