Let's get to the good stuff. For this week's outfit I decided to wear a polka dot yellow chiffon top from forever21, paired with black skinny jeans (also from forever21) and some black velvet booties (rainbowshops). The yellow in my top is more of a mustard color which I actually prefer because it worked well with my skin tone. I know I managed to add some black in there but I thought it would be best for contrast. I originally had planned to wear white trousers but I felt like the white wasn't allowing the color in the top to pop! So I switched the white trousers for my black denim.

Lately I've been drowning myself in books, quotes, and poems. Reading about everything from love, to being a better entrepreneur. I can honestly read quotes all day, so I created a board on Pinterest where I save my favorite ones. It's something about finding things you can relate to 100% . My favorite quotes/short poems are from Follow my blog with Bloglovin Rupi Kaur. I honestly think she's a genius because she has such a play with words that makes you feel empowered. I often think about creating my own personal quotes with the idea that one day I will be well-known and have quotes of my own. My dream is to be well-known in my field to help inspire others in the field to chase their dreams through not only my work but also my quotes.
I recently found a book store here in Pittsburgh that sells discounted books and magazines. I felt so alive as if a spark was ignited within me. Don't you prefer to feel the pages as you read? To highlight in a book, and fold the edges of the paper when you're ready to stop reading for a while? If so then you know exactly how I feel. I love the paper over the glass. I prefer to write and sketch on paper and I believe in writing down my thoughts, because of the power of the pen to paper. Something about it makes me feel like I'm writing my goals and plans into existence I always feel the need to go back and look at what I wrote down. For me its like I'm writing my history. If you look at my sketch books they tell stories of different times in my life. I was recently looking in my sketchbook from 2015 and it felt amazing. It was great to see ideas, sketches, and the things I came up with. Sometimes I feel like I can be a better artist, or be the artist I was before. But now my sketchbook is filled with clients names and work for my graphic design business vs just art ideas. I'm not complaining because I never thought that I would start and own a business. If you asked me back in 2015 what I see myself doing 2 years from now I would have said showcasing my art in galleries and writing proposals. In 2017 I re-branded my business; creating logos and trying to become a fashion blogger. Its funny how life works itself out. My dream of being a famous installation artist is still there. I may have not used those talents in a while but they are still with me. Sometimes I think I want to do too much but I have to remind myself that I wasn't placed on this earth to be mediocre or "normal". I can be anything I want to be even if its an Artist, Graphic Designer, and a Fashion Blogger all in one.

Hello Sunshine!! I'm so happy that time sprung forward this past weekend. I love the sun and the heat so I'm excited that we will finally have longer afternoons. For me that means more time for photoshoots, dog walks, and more time to literally bask in the sun!
Spring is right around the corner too and I couldn't wait to put on this yellow dress from Boohoo. I was going for sunny/spring vibes here. This is a pale yellow dixie bardot layered dress with frill detailing. It's super versatile where you can transition from day to night no matter the occasion. I wish that it came in more colors like white or blue but it's perfect for Spring and summer so you'll definitely be seeing me in this again.
I paired this dress with a black and white pattern choker and some nude pointed heels. I originally planned to wear my black wedge heels that has some nice gold detailing on them, but unfortunately my shoes literally fell apart while walking out the door. You can see the behind the scenes to this photoshoot on my Youtube channel Kita and Christina (Make sure subscribe if you haven't already!). We posted our very first vlog showing what we did on Saturday March 10th. That is the same day I took these photos for this blog post. I'm happy to say that now you can come along with me on my photoshoots and see the behind the scenes.

Who's ready for spring!?!? I am! Some of you may already know how much I dread the winter months. I'm from The Bahamas so I'm use to tropical temperatures! I wanted to pop in and share some of my spring inspired outfit details.
The little pink dress, is that even a thing? Well I'm making it a thing. Valentine's day is over and everyone is gearing up for Spring! I'm already building my spring wardrobe by adding some yellow to my palette. I've always loved how yellow flatter my skin tone so I can't wait to style those items, but back to this beautiful pink dress from Rue 21. I instantly fell in love with the fit and comfort I felt after trying it on. It has a racer back detail with ribbed detailing. I paired this dress with my blush pink blazer and brown high boots. I originally wanted to wear pointed toe heels but it was just too cold, so the boots was the next best alternative! I was careful to not get them in the shot because I felt like they were a bit distracting from my outfit lol!
I would suggest checking out Rue 21, Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, Rainbows, and Boohoo for stylish yet affordable pieces. They are definitely my go to stores, especially for affordable style steals. I'm always shopping at Rue 21 and I've never been disappointed with any of the pieces. I love how their clothes fit my body like this pink dress. There is a lot of clothing options out there for Spring but I would suggest picking some pinks, yellows, and blues! Spice up your wardrobe and let's get ready for Spring together!
Comment your go-to spring outfit!
