It’s not too early to be thinking about summer outfits right? 😅 Pretty Little Thing gifted me some looks from their new Chasing Sunsets collection 🌅✨ and they’re going to be great sexy vacation outfits 🙌🏾😍.

I’m wearing everything in a size 4, though I recommend sizing up in the satin crop top as it’s tight on the arms and shoulders (that set has limited stretch).

I feel like the dress is best suited as a beach dress, I am wearing tape and black shorts underneath it because it definitely requires wearing stuff underneath.

I’m wearing:

I took my graduation pictures to celebrate getting my Master’s degree, and this pink suit from Express was the perfect graduation outfit! 🙌🏾👩🏾‍🎓💖✨

I am wearing the pink blazer and matching pink pants in a size 4. I ain’t even gon hold you, I’ll be wearing this again and again because pink is my power color 😂💖.

I also got a white button-down shirt to wear underneath (size small).

My black girl magic graduation stole was only $5.99 on Amazon! 👩🏾‍🎓

#LTKU #LTKSeasonal

AD: My cap and gown finally came for my commencement next month, so it’s time to take my graduation portraits! 👩🏾‍🎓📸.

I took them myself, and to make sure my pictures don’t just live in my phone I printed them using the Mini 3 Era Portable Photo Printer gifted to me by KODAK 📸🖨️.

I love that I can connect it to any of my bluetooth devices, and print out my pictures. This allows me to take and edit my photos exactly how I like them before I print them.

The print quality is sooo good, and I love that it's a rechargeable portable printer that I can toss in my bag and go.

This is gonna be the easiest ombré gel nail tutorial ever chile 🙌🏾😍. BTArtBox dropped some ombré x coat nail tips, and they’re a fast and easy way to achieve the ombré nail look 💅🏾.

They come in different sizes, shapes, and colors. I have them in the extra short, nude, square version. I was able to get them with next day prime shipping on Amazon too! 🙌🏾😩🛍️✨

I only used two polishes to finish these nails:

💖 BTArtBox Builder Gel
💖 Aprés Nails Heavenly Top Coat Gel Polish in “Cherub” which is a pearlescent peachy-pink shade.

I did one coat of each polish, and cured for 60 seconds after each coat 💡✨.

#LTKfindsunder50 #LTKVideo #LTKbeauty

Pretty Little Thing gifted me some festival outfits from their new collection, and I cannot wait to wear them to a music festival or concert this year 🙌🏾😍🎶.

I am wearing everything in a size 4, and the boots and a size 10.

The first outfit is my favorite look, I love the black faux leather fringe mini skirt. Styling it with the colorful mesh shirt & black knee-high boots gives it an edgy look.

I love the denim pieces in this collection as well 💙👖, the denim butterfly top would be really cute for the usher concert.

As a tall girl, I was really impressed by these jeans ! They are very stretchy, and they are long enough for my 5’9” self lol. I want to get them in other colors too! If you were looking for some affordable jeans, I definitely recommend these.

#LTKfindsunder100 #LTKFestival #LTKVideo

I styled this $40 gold outfit for a night out, and I felt like a million bucks! 🤩✨.

I got the gold angel / art print shirt for around $4 from SHEIN (size 4, true to size). I styled it with these gold metallic pants Pretty Little Thing previously gifted me, that are currently on sale for $17.

To finish off the look I wore my gold initial rings ($1.62 each on Ali Express), a gold bag, and gold platforms.

I ain’t even gon’ hold you, I’ll be wearing this spring outfit again 😂🙌🏾✨. It would be a great concert outfit too 🤔.

The new NDA perfume by Forvr Mood (Jackie Aina) was my scent for the night, and I smelled so luxurious 😍.

#LTKVideo #LTKfindsunder100 #LTKfindsunder50

Pretty Little Thing gifted me some cute spring dresses that would be perfect spring date outfits 💐✨.

The pink dress is so cute, I am wearing it in a size 6, because my size (size 4) was sold out. I would recommend getting your normal size in this dress.

The gold dress is so sexy (size 4), I was not sure what to wear underneath because it laces all the way up on both sides.

I went with my trusty nude SKIMS thong, which was perfect because you can barely see it underneath the dress.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKVideo #LTKfindsunder100

I got the Priya Rhinestone mules during Steve Madden’s Friends & Family sale, and they look so cute on 😍💎✨.

I read the reviews and purchased a size up (I’m normally a size 10 & I have a narrow foot), and I feel like that was sound advice lol.

Also, can you believe I did my own french pedicure?! 💅🏾✨ I used my fave dazzle dry performance polishes to get my toes sandal ready.

#LTKfindsunder100 #LTKbeauty #LTKshoecrush

I managed to get my hands on the new glitter One Size setting spray from their wicked collaboration 🙌🏾😍💚💖✨.

This setting spray is my go to when I really need my make up to stay locked in place all day. Anytime I have a special event, concert, or festival, this is what I set my make up with.

If you are able to get your hands on it during the Sephora savings event that is happening right now, this should be at the top of your list! 🛍️✨.

I love personalized jewelry, and I also wanted to get in on the gold initial rings trend 💍✨. I love that you can adjust the size of these rings so that they will fit each of your fingers.

Can you believe I found these old English letter style initial rings on AliExpress for under two dollars each?! 😍✨. I got some to spell out my Nigerian name: Seyi 🇳🇬.

I will be wearing these gold rings with a lot of my spring and summer outfits this year.

#LTKfindsunder50 #LTKSeasonal

New nail set, who dis?! 😍💅🏾✨ I got the long square nude French tip nails by BTArtBox on Amazon, and did this luxe inspired presson nail set. It came out so cute!

I used:
💖 Gold glitter gel polish
💖 BTArtBox Builder Gel & Top Coat
💖 SunUV8 LED & UV Lamp
💖 Luxe inspired clover / flower nail stickers
💖 Beauty Secrets Drip & Clog Proof Nail Glue
💖 Makaratt Rhinestone Glue
💖 Gold Mini Rhinestones

This is a really cute spring or summer nail set 😍.

#LTKVideo #LTKfindsunder50 #LTKbeauty

I found these fun rhinestone glasses for $15 on Ali Express 😎💎✨.

They’re not shades as the lens is not tinted, but they are a fun statement piece for spring or summer outfits.

I saw them in one of my fave stores for 2x the price, and I just knew I could find them for the low on Ali Express chile 😂💚.

Chile, I need a vacation 😂 and when I go I’m definitely bringing this dress Pretty Little Thing gifted me 😍.

It’s a beautiful breezy strapless, spring dress, and this green shade is super hot this spring 🌸💚.

I am wearing it in a size 4, and it is true to size. The slits are kind of high on both sides, but the one on the right side is definitely higher so I will probably wear a little shorts or something underneath.

I wore it with this affordable green mini quilted crossbody chain bag, which I got for around $7 on SHEIN.

#LTKVideo #LTKSeasonal #LTKfindsunder50

Valentino Beauty gifted me their new Eye2Cheek Eyeshadow and Blush in the shade Very Rose 02 😍🌹💖.

It’s a soft and pretty rosy pink shade that can be used as both an eyeshadow and blush. It also has a 12 hour wear time.

If you’re looking for a new blush to try for spring, add this to your list of products to try during the upcoming Sephora Savings Event that starts on April 5th! 💖✨.

#LTKbeauty #LTKxSephora #LTKVideo

Pretty Little Thing gifted me some pieces from their PLT Label collection & these spring outfits are 🔥🙌🏾😍.

I’m wearing everything in a size 4, and everything was pretty true to size.

🌸 Green pleated blazer dress (my fave!!) fits so well, and it has shoulder pads built in. I will say you can’t wear a bra under it though.

🌸 Green off the shoulder pinstripe top
🌸 Green pinstripe wide leg pants (a lil snug on my booty but still fit well)
🌸 Khaki Button Down Top (again, not bra friendly)
🌸 Khaki Lace Up Mini Skirt

There are some great date night outfits and vacation outfits in this collection! 💚

#LTKSeasonal #LTKVideo #LTKfindsunder100

Steve Madden gifted me their new BIGMONA sandals in denim, and they’re gonna be a great go-to sandal with my spring outfits and summer outfits ✨.

The sandals are pretty comfortable, but I think they run a lil small so definitely size up if you can. I got my normal size 10, and would have opted for a 10.5 if they were available.

I styled these denim sandals with a denim on denim ouftit, and it’s a super cute spring outfit. They’d look cute with jeans too 👖✨.

The next time I travel I’ll be packing these sandals to go with my vacation outfits ☀️.

#LTKshoecrush #LTKfindsunder100 #LTKSeasonal

This tea tree foot peeling spray by Earth Therapeutics is literally a pedicure in a bottle 🙌🏾😍. I picked it up for $9.99 at Walmart, and it’s available on Amazon too.

I was looking for a product I could use to help get the dead skin off of my feet when I did my at home pedicure. After I used it, my feet felt BABY SOFT and I can’t believe how much dead skin came off 😂.

To use it you shake it up, spray it a couple of times on your feet, and rub it in. The dead skin starts peeling / rolling right off.

This is definitely a must have to get your feet sandal ready 🩴👡✨

#LTKbeauty

Forever 21 dropped some rhinestone cowboy boots with their new festival collection 🤠💎✨.

They’re so cute, and I lowkey want them to prep for Renaissance Act II 🐝👑😂. They’re $99 though, so I’ll be setting a sale alert.

These would be cute with a festival outfit or concert outfit.

#LTKshoecrush #LTKfindsunder100 #LTKSeasonal

I went to the Burna Boy concert 🇳🇬✨ in Boston, and I wore this outfit that was previously gifted to me by Pretty Little Thing 💖.

I am wearing everything in a size 4, except for the pink faux fur coat, which is a size 6.

The pink jacquard corset really snatched me up 🙌🏾😍 and I loved how it looked with the gold metallic faux leather pants.

I finished off the look with my white air force one sneakers (which I normally wear with my concert outfits), this way I could dance the night away 👟🎶.

This is such a cute spring outfit, I will definitely be wearing it again.

#LTKfindsunder100 #LTKSeasonal

I got the limited edition Daffodil Daydream body spray from Bath and Body Works ($8.956, and it smells amazing 😍.

I’m not even a floral girl, but it has notes of marshmallows, pastel clouds, and sweet daffodils 💐. The marshmallow note really stands out, to create a really sweet blend.

It seems to only come in the travel, size option, so if you see it in stores, definitely check it out!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKbeauty

Not me making my own press on nails 🙌🏾😍, can you believe I got everything on Amazon?! And the nails and supplies were way cheaper than what it would be to get them done in the nail salon too.

I got a set of short, square, skintone shade, French tip, soft gel nails by BTArtbox on Amazon and they were so easy to work with 💅🏾✨. This set comes with five different shades, and you get 16 sizes. This exact set also comes in different lengths and shapes if you want to try something different.

I decided to customize the nails by adding nail charms and rhinestones, which I applied with rhinestone glue 💎✨.

After I cured the decorations on my nails under the UV lamp 💡 , I applied one coat of builder gel, and one coat of topcoat, and cured in between each polish.

Once the nails were finished, I just glued them on with my favorite nail glue from Sally’s which does not require curing at all, as it is regular nail glue.

I love how nails came out! 😍 And I’ll definitely be buying more in the future so that I can customize those as well.

I wanted to try gel nails, but I don’t want to put my hands under the UV lamp all the time so I decided to try making nails that I could just glue on after.

#LTKfindsunder50 #LTKVideo #LTKbeauty

Pretty little thing gifted me some cute concert outfits, and I need to decide which one I want to wear next week 😍🎶. I am wearing everything in a size 4, except the faux fur coats which are a size 6.

I love this pink Jacquard corset, and I think it looks so cute with these gold metallic pants. The pink faux fur coat really sets it off 💖.

The floral lace up corset is cute too, and I could do it with the gold pants or jeans.

Or, I could keep it simple with a cropped turtleneck sweater, and jeans (these jeans are from their tall collection, so they are super long on me and I’m 5’9”. They do not have any stretch though).

Lastly, this green faux, leather sleeveless top and pants are sleek and sexy look too.

Which one do y’all think I should wear?

#LTKVideo #LTKfindsunder50 #LTKfindsunder100

This gold vest from Rainbow ($16.97!) is one of my favorite winter outfit pieces ❄️✨. Because it’s cropped, I decided to size up.

I styled it with my gold michael kors satchel bag, and gold heels to elevate this basic jeans & white t-shirt outfit.

#LTKitbag

Spring is right around the corner, so I gotta have all my fave products on deck to create spring makeup looks 💐💄✨.

These Amazon lashes are full, wispy, and great for a make up look when you really want to draw attention to the eyes.

I’m also wearing please me lipglass from MAC, along with their clear lipglass, and chestnut lip liner.

#LTKbeauty #LTKSeasonal

I found a 🔥 birthday dress on sale at AKIRA 🥳🎂 & styled it with this fur coat Pretty Little Thing gifted me (size 6).

The dress fits true to size, and I’m wearing a size S.

To finish off the look I wore my gold & rhinestone heels from Amazon (i recommend going a half size up!) and my YSL monogram clutch.

#LTKparties #LTKVideo

Pretty little thing gifted me, this red faux leather top and matching pants, and they really ate with this set 😍🙌🏾.

I am wearing everything in a size 4, it fits true to size, and the pants are tall girl friendly.

This would be a great birthday outfit, and it would be a great spring outfit too.

#LTKfindsunder50 #LTKfindsunder100

This pink velvet sweatsuit from SheIn is so cute! 💕 It’s giving me early 00’s vibes. I got it for around $20, and I’m wearing it in a size 4 (Small).

As a tall woman (i’m 5’9”), I definitely wish the pants were longer 😩, but I can get away with it when I’m wearing cute boots.

I love to throw this on when I’m running quick errands, but still want to get cute.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKfindsunder50

I want to take better care of my natural nails in between when I do my press on nail sets💅🏾✨. So, I picked up this keratin nail growth nail polish treatment for $4 at Walmart.

My sister swears by it, and you’re supposed to see results within 3 days. Basically you apply two coats, and let the polish dry between each coat. It’s supposed to stop peeling and chipping, and create an ultra hard shield on your nails.

I tested it out, and the polish dries really quickly, which is great! It left my nails looking, super shiny and healthy. They definitely feel stronger too! 🙌🏾😩

#LTKbeauty #LTKfindsunder50

This white lace mini dress Heiress Beverly Hills gifted me is so 🔥. I’m wearing it in a size 4, and as a tall woman it’s realllly short so I plan to layer it over shorts.

I would say it fits true to size, and I love how the corset snatches my waist. I’m already planning to bring this on vacation somewhere this year 🙌🏾😍 This would be a great summer vacation outfit, spring outfit, or white party outfit.

How fun is the sequin dress with feathered trim from Akira? 😍 I wore it for my birthday dinner, and it was the perfect birthday dress 🥳🎂. I am wearing it in a size 4, and the dress is currently on sale for $70.

I styled it with a tan fur coat (size 6), that was gifted to me by pretty little thing.

#LTKsalealert #LTKfindsunder100

It’s my birthday! 🥳 Heiress Beverly Hills gifted me their viral white lace corset mini dress 😍. It’s such a cute birthday dress!

I am wearing it in a size 4, however, because it is really short on me (I’m 5’9”) I would probably style it with white dress shorts underneath.

This dress would also be great for Valentine’s Day! 💕 I styled it with a thin, white feather boa and rhinestone platform heels.

Here’s how I wrapped this Valentine’s Day floral bouquet using flowers that I got from Walmart❤️🌹✨.

I used:
💖 four packages of fake scented roses
💖 one package of pink floral wrapping paper from Amazon (I used five sheets total)
💖 Valentine’s Day ribbon from Michael’s craft store
💖 Double-sided tape

This is a fairly easy DIY, that would make a great Valentine’s Day gift for someone special 🎁✨.

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKVideo #LTKSeasonal

Valentine’s Day is 13 days away, and my friends at Pretty Little Thing gifted me some pieces from their Valentine’s Day collection so I’ll be ready 🙌🏾❤️🌹✨.

I may not know what I’ll be doing yet, but I definitely have an Valentine’s Day outfit on deck lol 😂 . I am wearing everything in a size 4.

The red mini dress is super cute, but definitely really short for someone my height (5’9”), so I will probably wear some red shorts underneath it.

Any of these outfits would be a great date outfit or girls night out outfit after the holiday too.
