SC TRIP!!!






WHAT I WORE: 
Target: Jeans, Top &Jacket
H&M: Scarf &Sunglasses 


Happy Thursday! My friend just had a beautiful wedding at Hilton Head Island, SC in a little chapel near the beach. It was small, romantic and very intimate wedding.

Hopefully, I will have some more photos from the actual wedding coming soon!!! Overall, I met some cool people at this festive and lovely event. It was so good to get away and experience a new atmosphere. I wish I could of laid out on the beach. Unfortunately, there was a massive rain storm that kept everyone indoors.

On the last day, the weather was amazing. So, you know I had to take some photos from Hilton Head Island. I would totally recommend going there because it is an inexpensive vacay!

Check out my relaxed, bright outfit, do you think it's perfect for beach weather?

GREEN = MONEY......







WHAT I WORE:
H&M: Pants 
Forever 21: Jacket, Top & Bag
Target: Booties 
Rue 21: Necklace 
Ralph Lauren: Sunnies 
 
Hello Happy Friday! It's been awhile since my last post. Now, I'm back and ready for all that blogging! I'm so thrilled to be going to a beach wedding this weekend, I hope to show you all lots of fun adventures from this trip! 

You know they say that money is not everything, but it’s a means to survive and to help others. When I put this outfit together, the green emphasized new beginnings…SPRING TIME! If you haven't notice, I absolutely love this pastel green top it reflects money. Of course, I had to compliment it with more green by pairing this top with my favorite emerald green pants and bringing it together with a plaid cropped blazer. Do you love this green ensemble?

ZEBRA BLUE.....




















WHAT I WORE:
H&M: Pants 
Vintage: Jacket 
H&M: Top 
Unknown: Shoes 
Rue 21: Necklace 
Forever 21: Bracelets 



Happy Friday!  What color can be worn all year long...you guessed it right. cobalt blue! I wanted to make my look come alive with a color that popped! This electric shade can be paired with absolutely every color imaginable from grays, pinks, reds, and even pastel colors. If you have not noticed, I love to experiment with different colors. As you mix and match colors, you develop an eye for coordinating fly outfits! I decided to use the standard black and white trend and juice it up with a bit of color. I also chose to wear two types of blacks with white stripes so it was not so uniform, but cool! How do you feel about cobalt blue and the black and white trend together, is it a good combo?

LIVE YOUR LIFE.....




















































































































 WHAT I WORE:
H&M: Jacket
Target: Top
H&M: Pants
Target: Booties
Forever 21 : Accessories
Dooney & Bourke : Satchel Bag


Happy Thursday! This post is dedicated to young lives that have been tragically cut short. I decided to wear this camouflage look because it reminds me of our troops that are fighting, sacrificing, and dying for our country.  Life is very precious and we can go at any time. We can die in a war or even walking down the street.  We often forget what is important in this world and do not think anything can happen to us. Life is too short and we have to live life to the fullest. I really give my condolences to Shane Gandee's family and friends. He was an upcoming MTV star on the show called Buckwild (and yes, I watched this show...it was completely hilarious) whose life was cut short at 21 years of age.  I really admired his tenacity to not care what people think and just to be himself. RIP…. Shane Gandee.  We all have one life and everyone has an expiration date. Let's be ready. Have nice day and be safe out there!

FARMER'S MARKET....









WHAT I WORE: 
Forever 21: Cardigan 
H&M: Dress 
Forever 21: Buttoned-Up
 Target: Booties
Forever 21: Necklace 
H&M: Tights 

Happy Thursday! Who does not like the smell of cow manure and loud sounds of cows mooing & roosters crowing! (Okay…let's be real, we would not miss the cow manure). This burgundy background reminded me of life on the FARM and you have to admit this scene goes very well with my burgundy stockings!!!).  My angle was to combine the look of farm girl meets the 20th century. At first, I wore a black dress and decided to wear a jean button-up over the dress to keep this more of a polished look. Personally, fashion is just playing around with colors schemes and making your own unique clothing statement. Tell me what you think, do you like this combo of brown and black, and burgundy?

Important Note: I'm so happy to finally have a signature for my blog "Fashion Love Akinyi"...Your probably wondering why the heart is black.... I wanted to keep this heart black to compliment the pink, but trust me there is no black hearts over here....hehehe....Have a good day!

FANCY'S BACK......













WHAT I WORE: Unknown: Purple Dress I E20: Booties I Target: Tights I H&M: Fur Vest I Dooney & Bourke: Satchel Bag I Unknown: Scarf


Happy Thursday!!! Purple is making a big come back this season. I can go on and on about things to say about purple and let me tell you......

     Purple is Royalty........................................................Purple is overlooked 
                  Purple is culture and art.........................................Purple is grape
                               Purple is imperial...............................Purple is Fashion
                                           Purple is amethyst ...................................Purple is my DRESS!

I love wearing this color because it can be worn on any occasion. It all depends on how you coordinate your outfit. I chose to wear a fur vest over this purple dress paired with funky stockings and purple booties. I was shying away from wearing too many accessories with the intent to focus on the purple dress. The only accessory I added was a pair of multi-colored sunglasses with a purple hue. This look can be worn whenever and as always keep it classy.........What do you think? Am I ready for a dinner date? (that's right) wink!



                                                                                  Fashion Love,

                                                                                                                         Akinyi
