There’s really not much that I need to say, except Happy Valentine’s Day.

XOXO,

Hello Diddy, Dawn, and Kaleena,

I want to first start off by saying I loovveeee “Last Train To Paris.” It is in my regular rotation on my iTouch. My concern really isn’t with you Diddy, it is more so Dawn and Kaleena. Ladies, what’s going on? I love your style about 95% of the time, but right now, these looks I am not feeling. I know you try to switch it up to keep things “fresh” and often change your looks, but I am used to you ladies being more consistent. There is always something that I LOVE about your looks, but these two photos right here, not cutting it. I see where you were going, but you took a left turn somewhere. I look to you ladies for inspiration and I want to be inspired again. Sooo as a concerned fan, I am asking that next time you leave your house, photo shoot, studio, hotel, take a look in the mirror. Thanks!

A concerned fan.

So this is just a quick post to show how a few of my looks from Thanksgiving and the weekend. I spent Thursday at my cousin’s house like I’ve been doing since I was a baby. I wore a cream puff sleeved shirt, winter shorts, burgundy knit vest, brown tights, and brown boots on Thanksgiving. I originally wanted to wear my sweater dress, but I chose not too and went with the shorts instead.

My sister wore a black sweater dress, fishnet tights and black boots.

A few family photos (that’s my mom in the middle, cousin up top, and niece at the bottom)

Friday night my alma mater (Lincoln University) and the National Pan-Hellenic Council (Divine 9 Black Greek Organizations) sponsored a toy/book drive and bowling party. I went just to socialize, see a few familiar faces and my sorors and frat brothers, definitely not to bowl lol. So I wore a black sweater dress, leopard tights, black riding boots, and a teal cardigan to make the dress more casual.

Oh and I did my faux-natural hairstyle and everyone loves it! I only do this hairstyle when I don’t feel like going to the hair salon. It is a little difficult to maintain because my waves/curls drop quickly, but I’ll figure out a way to keep this do with as little maintenance as possible.

 

I want to wish all of my HGB readers and their families a happy thanksgiving! This is the time to give thanks for family, friends, health, and much more.

I want to especially thank you all for supporting me and my vision for Her Goody Bag. Enjoy this day full of laughs, love, and great food!

Today is my 26th birthday. I just thank God for allowing me to see another year! 25 wasn’t as good as I thought it would be, too much hype around this age I guess lol. It wasn’t a terrible age, but I was expecting a lot more to happen that didn’t…oh well.

I’ll be spending most of my day on the road travelling to and from the City of Brotherly Love (Philly). One of my line sisters is getting married today so that’s where I will be. I celebrate with my family and friends another time. So I hope everyone enjoys their weekend, I will be enjoying mine!

*Smooche*
