There comes a time in every girl's life when she must put away the yoga pants, pop on her sexiest dress, and go out for a $22 cocktail… I’ve gone out three nights this week and there are two things I’ve been doing to ensure I look scrumdiddlyumptious…
First I restarted my Rent The Runway subscription - get 30% off - and I’ve been wearing the proper shapewear under all my clothes.
At 28, I finally understand why my grandma insisted on me wearing slips as a young lady. They really do make your overall outfit look better. So, let’s take a peak under my dresses a ..read more

I'm very good at updating bathrooms in a renter-friendly way. In my studio apartment, I used pasted bead board wallpaper to cover the boring white tiles and despite thousands of comments telling me my landlord was going to sue me… It came off with no issues and I got my security deposit back with interest.
This time around, I’m not hiding the tiles, I’m letting the two-toned tiles shine and using my favorite renter-friendly hacks to makeover my bathroom. I’ve found some excellent tips and tricks while remodeling a rental and I want to share!

We've all been conditioned to believe anyone who loves themselves and their home would never allow themselves to have a mouse. That is a super damaging mindset to those of us dealing with the little critters.
So much so that it makes it hard to find information on how to fix the problem. Even though it's embarrassing AF to admit these kinds of things, but it's only fair to show the not-so-glamourous side of apartment living, especially when y'all are there to support me when I'm being featured on The Washington Post or launching a wallpaper collection! So, le ..read more

I accomplished a lot last year, from undoing everything at my studio apartment to the office makeover and wallpapering a 30 ft . hallway, I ticked off a number of projects. But, I'm ready for some more. I’m tired of living in a half-baked apartment and I’m ready to give y’all the beautiful, fully furnished home tour that you all deserve (more on that later in the blog). So I’ve made my list of projects I need to get done and I want to share. Let me know your thoughts below in the comments.

Scrolling through my feed, you'll notice a few things about me…
I love peel-and-stick wallpaper.
I'm a bigger gal. Where are all my 200 lbs.+ Homies!??♀️
I love wearing jeans.
It doesn't matter if they're a light wash or dark. Ripped or tailored. Fitted or baggy… I love jeans. I've spent a lot of time curating the perfect collection of denim, to the point where I just rebuy the same pair in different washes to fit my needs. My closet is in a beautiful place at the moment.

Bonjour!
The crazy thing about being an adult with a credit card is that nobody can stop me from buying a last-minute plane ticket to Paris. No one. Not a single, solitary person can beat my a$$ about it. And that's precisely how I ended up with a Lorazepam scrip in one hand and an over weight carry-on ever in the other on Christmas Eve…
My besties, Derel and Nia, plus their mama, who shall forever be known as the "Mommarazzzi" - she took most of the photos, spent eight days and seven nights sightseeing, shopping, eating, and drinking our way through the arro ..read more

Do you ever think about how expensive baskets are?
While working on my kitchen pantry and my cousin's garage makeover, I spent hours in the aisles of The Container Store looking for the perfect containers to use in my space. I, of course, found what I needed because that's just what happens when you go to organization heaven, but once I reached that register... I gagged at them prices... $35 for one basket is crazy...
Then, I pulled out my card and finished the transaction because, in all seriousness, baskets, bins, and boxes are the superheroes of the storag ..read more

When people say to take your time decorating a new apartment, it's not just because you need to let your bank account replenish after shelling out thousands for first, last, and security deposit. It's also because you don't know what your space will require furniture-wise until you've lived there for a bit. Early on, I thought a kitchen island was a waste because I'm not a huge cook, but after a few months, I've done a complete 180*.
I got tired of looking at my cluttered countertop and purchased a $140 kitchen cart from The Container Store, and it's been suc ..read more

Ah! We've finally reached that awkward period in DC where it's not summer, but it's also not entirely fall, either... Some people describe it as faux Fall, but who knows, by next week, it'll probably be 98 degrees ?. Since I started pulling out my fall/winter clothes, I've fallen in love with wearing warm, chunky knits, and I wanted to share 14 adorable sweaters and cardigans that are perfect for Fall!
