Festival Attire.

Hello Nubians,

"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."
-Dalai Lama 


Funny thing about this post title... I didn't actually go to any festival but if I did, I would wear something similar to this.

I love wearing cute and comfortable outfits. The pants are pretty damn awesome... I stole  borrowed them from my mother once upon a time and just forgot to ever give them back hehe. I love the pattern on the pants and they're so light I almost feel like I'm naked. A nice fringe top by gla.MAR.ous is such a Summer staple. The Yumnah Najah earrings I'm wearing always seem to give an outfit what it's missing, you can find them HERE. Lastly, I'm wearing small Prabal Gurung for Target wedges that are insanely comfortable.

The Make-up details here are pretty basic. A cat eye I created using a L'oreal liner and red lips from Revlon. My only regret here is not grooming my eyebrows a bit more but I was probably in a rush or something.

Hoping everyone had a lovely weekend!

NubiasNonsense Insta-Weekend.

Hello Nubians,

It's Saturday and I'm currently working on my laptop and watching Adventure Time (One of my favorite animated shows) . I wanted to update the blog with some instagram fun. When I'm super busy and don't have time to post on the blog, you can usually see what I'm up to via my instagram.

Anyway, I've been trying to go out of my way to go out with my friends more often and travel a bit more. I'm such a workaholic but life is short my dears... Cheers!

The French Manicure.

Yesterday I went to Wall Street to visit Duane Reade. I actually love getting my nails done there! Strange right? You wouldn't think of Duane Reade as a place to get your nails done but it's AWESOME and I prefer it to a lot of nail salons I've been to. If you happen to visit, you should get them done by Siokoey, she's a sweety!

Anyway, I usually lean towards fun, colorful and crazy designs but decided to go with a simple french manicure this time. Did you know Manicures are about 5,000 years old and that french manicures specifically were used in Paris and very popular during the 1920's and 1930's? This is what Wikipedia does to me. It simply looks classy and very polished to me... I needed a change.

I got Gel Extensions for the first time ever. I'm curious to find out how long they last and if I like them more than acrylic. Most people say Gel is way healthier than acrylic but other beg to differ. I hope they are better for 2 reasons... 1) I don't want my nails getting those annoying dents like they did with acrylic and 2) They are about double the price of acrylic. 

I plan to keep these for a while and then go back to my colorful and vibrant ways. I decided to go with the square shape because I was growing a bit tired of the super pointy cat shape already.

I do have one piece of advice to give when it comes to nails...

Keep them polished! I don't care what color, if they're real or not, it does not matter just keep them polished! Don't bite them either! Fight your nail biting demons. It may shock you the amount of times people look at your hands and when they look sloppy you look sloppy #JustKeepinItReal. If you work in an office all day that's A LOT. Do you shake hands? Do you hand money to people when you pay for something? I didn't used to care so much but as I get older I care more and more.

I have to run but before I do... What your favorite nail trend? Color or shape.

Floral Printing.

Hello Nubians,

First and foremost, hope you like the NEW site layout and banner. Simple yet still hectic enough to be me. Thanks to my lovely brother for all his help and having the patience to deal with me. I'm super excited to be making better quality videos this year... ya know... with a good camera and lights and not all on my iPhone haha.

I just got back from vacation and I'm feeling inspired and ready to make changes. I always struggle with inspiration and getting bored constantly but I think I'm starting to wrap my head around certain things and finding ways to stay passionate... It's tough. One thing I did notice however is how much I needed a freaking vacation! Oh my goodness, I am such a workaholic and over achiever that I didn't even realize I haven't taken a vacation since 2010. I went on a cruise to a few islands with 2 girlfriends and had a blast. When I'm done uploading my photos you will surely see some on here and stories. 

Below is a very basic outfit of mine. Transitioning into a warmer Spring season can be tricky. You'll see some popular trends I gravitate towards here such as florals, lennon shades, bright colors, hair braids... slowly but surely I'm pulling out all the goods.

Wearing: Uniqlo floral pants, Dolce Vita wedges, Old Navy denim jacket, Vintage inspired camera bag, Jewelry from street vendor.

Some style goals of mine this Spring/Summer are...

1) To mess around with my hair more (colors are styles)
2) To sport more accessories (cooler earrings, necklaces, shades, etc.)

What are yours? Be back soon.
