Beauty Tuesday: These Boots Were Made for …

• Defending🎤 my dissertation📖 to complete my Doctor of Philosophy📜 ~ YES, I rocked out my Docs when I became Doc!
• Undergoing my Graduation Church💒 Rituals ~ I wore my A+💯 booties
• Walking across the stage at my Commencement Exercises🎓 ~ a professor told me that my cowboy boots👢 were the best pair in the house (two great minds think alike)

4:44 ~ make a New Year’s wish!!!

Beauty Tuesday: Fine Online

Special delivery: Introducing the Sweet Pea (I ♥love♥ the name ~ same as my *True Blue Pit Bull* may she ✌R.I.P.) satchel from the MARKKIT BelindaSelene Collection …

As a birthday treat to myself

I absolutely ♥adore♥ the sleek shine of the patent blush & smooth texture of the taupe suede … all in vegan leather #GoodForTheEnvironment (I also dig the packaging & tags in Tiffany blue + complimentary candy ~ pleasant sweet surprises ~ to add to my desk)

I added to my wardrobe from my YouTube gurus’ collections:

The gold handle hardware matches up w/my gold wristlets complete w/satin polka dotted lining w/a large zipped pocket in the inside back + handy-dandy compartments to store keys, lipstick, etc. Carries well w/the adjustable crossbody & double snaps above zipper closure ~ what appealed to me the most initially was the bowling bag shape! This’d go great with the CK colorblock dress from my Nanay!

• Belinda Selene‘s Markkit Sweet Pea satchel (blush patent vegan leather handbag)

Special Delivery today … Oh, snap as I call my stats a wrap! Stats Cat wants to get in on the pacatge wrap!

• Anna Akana‘s *Ghost & Stars* Taylor Swift midi dress (navy gingham)

This navy blue & white number would pair well with the Sakroots crossbody that Mami Aya gave me for my bday!

I must’ve scored the last 1 because it no longer stayed in stock the day after!

Soon-to-be Bday Grrrl Sweet Annie‘s easy to please: w/her squirrel tail & her likewise squirrel tail toy + dress packaging!

Beauty Tuesday: Fab Collabs

Whenever an up-and-coming designer collaborates with a market to release a RTW  limited edition collection for a broader audience, I, the stylista at ♥heart♥, jump at the chance to add exclusive pieces to my wardrobe! My next pursuit: Alexander Wang + H&M…

Here’s my latest that is perfect for Fall …

Altuzarra for Target

Here are a few favorites from previous seasons (in descending order)…

Peter Pilotto for Target

3.1 Phillip Lim 3.1 for Target

3.1 Phillip Lim Floral Paper shirt dress is something sweet to toast to!

Prabal Gurang for Target

Prabal Gurang First Date tank top with black mesh overlay is versatile to make me smile ☺

Fashion Star for H&M

Braid for Cascade of Waves Rave

I had a beautiful hair day on this Sunday fun day ~ well, more like this whole weekend, actually!

First, I started with braiding my hair and pinning it up. Like my new Coach Gabrielle glasses?

Then, when I went to church this morning, I took my hair down… & voila! Bouncy curls is where it’s @ (spritz mane w/holding spray or volumizing mousse, if desired).

Now I know that this isn’t a brand-spankin’ new hair tip, but I just wanted to share 1 way of how a great hair day can lead into the next bombshell hair day =D
