Is it time for winter to exit stage left yet? It has been super cold in South Carolina (or it could just be me) Today, I wanted to share three pairs of amazing winter must have tights to keep us looking super sassy, chic, lady like, and WARM!

The Secret is Out
Let me begin by apologizing to all of my amazing AKCESS followers. I am so sorry that I haven’t posted since…last year! Oh, it hurts to even type that! But there’s a reason, I promise! Continue reading “The Secret is Out”
It’s the skirt for me
As the title says…it’s the skirt for me! I have always obsessed over slip dresses and skirts but never believed I could pull it off. Clearly, I was wrong!
This skirt is EVERYTHING! My entire look is from NastyGal. The leopard print is always on trend and the slit gives it just enough appeal to catch someone’s eye.
This top is ribbed with puff sleeves. It’s super comfortable and can totally be matched with denim or any other skirt for that matter.
My kicks are from NastyGal, too! They are definitely true to size. I’d actually recommend sizing up. Of course, this look can be paired with heels of any type and you’ll be good to go for your next special occasion!
XO,

Friday Five
Hi there, loves! Today I wanted to share my Friday Five! This is where I’ll share five facts about myself. The purpose of this post is for you guys to get to know me a little better AND to catch these outfit details captured in these DOPE images by B. Grate!
Let’s jump right in as I share 5️⃣ things about myself! 😉💕
Hello Sunshine
Yellow and orange are colors that simply look fabulous on our melanated skin! 😉✨
Today, it was a must that I shared this Express smock dress!
AKCESS MY OFFICE
Friends! We are talking about all things in the office today. I have been residing here for at least 3 years and I never wanted to decorate. It’s just not my strong suite. I have framed photos sitting against the walls where it should be hung, but I just never hung it. But recently, since being quarantined, something sparked in me to finally put together a “creative space!” Check out my little corner…
Air Force 1s
Let’s talk about it! Air Forces 1s (AF1) made a comeback like no other shoe. It’s like it happened over night. I went to bed and woke up the next day with everyone wearing AF1s! With these currently #ONTREND, I had to snag me a pair! See how I styled my forces.
I wanted to try and dress these sneakers up a bit so my Express, front tie, button up dress was the perfect match. This dress runs large so you can definitely size down. Per the usual, I threw on my denim jacket because it’s my greatest accessory.
Hair up or hair down, this entire look is perfect for summer cookouts, kickbacks, and cocktail hour with the girls or guys. Comfortable, cute, and trendy were all executed with this style! Shop my look here!
How would you style your AF1s? Do share outfit ideas in comments below. Have a beautiful day my loves!
XO,

The Year of Six
Bless our little hearts! Six entire years together, bonded, and stuck together like glue! This is such a huge accomplishment for our black love. Per statistics, we weren’t destined to make our marriage what it has grown to be today! Stick with me and see what we’ve learned and our favorite memories on our six year journey together.

I CAN’T BE QUIET
Okay, this is a very heavy and emotional post today. I still can’t bring myself to talk or share an affordable style or fashion trends with you during this difficult time. I have to use my platform to bring awareness with what’s really going on in the world! I can’t be quiet! I feel compelled to use my voice, no matter the size, to address what we’re going through during this pandemic of COVID and RACISM.
WalMart Polka Dots
I hope you’ve recovered from your Memorial Day festivities! It’s back to the office for me! Those four days went by too fast! Another day, another FABU-LESS look that I’m sharing with you guys! (See what I did there?) I know that we all love those timeless and, sometimes, rather expensive pieces, but this isn’t one of those post. My entire outfit, with an exception to my purse, is from Walmart! Their Time and Tru line is KILLER!
My dress, I kid you not, was only $14.00! My shoes were less than $22.00. You can easily find both items in your local store. I, personally, haven’t come across a location that didn’t have them, but of course, online shopping is easier and safest as we are working to flatten the COVID curve. The shoes are very low in stock!

This can be worn as I am showing or an alternate look could be adding my favorite piece of clothing: a denim jacket. You can throw on a pair of nude heels or dress it down with your latest (majority white) sneakers.
You guys have inspired me! Thanks for pushing me to create content. I owe you one!
XO,
