Sex... In the form of swimsuits.

Summer calls for skin and sexiness. A couple of weeks ago, I attended the D'Milikah fashion show on the Georgetown waterfront. The Brazilian designer Emily Gonzaga had a great turnout and the weather couldn't have been more perfect for this type of fashion show. The models served lots of skin and lots of sexiness! It was great to see different body types rocking different styles of swimwear. 

I snapped a few pics of my favorite pieces! Be sure to click the link above to shop this brand. 

Fashion Inspiration

Even though it's been abnormally hot, extremely muggy and really stormy lately (at least in the DC area), I am still inspired by these cheerful outfits put together by one of my favorite bloggers. Check out these summery 'fits from her site:

"new" pics

Here are some pics I took with my vintage camera that I JUST got developed ... even though they were taken during the summer of 2011... Procrastination at its best!! They're from a random day walking around downtown DC and from my short, yet beautiful vacation in Phoenix, AZ. These pics bring about a certain feeling of nostalgia and a yearning for flirty summer romances and those lazy, care-free days... You know, the ones where absolutely anything goes and you have nothing on your mind except maybe what restaurant you'll try out for dinner or what flavor macaroon you'll eat for dessert. 

Let's remind ourselves to have more of these types of days, shall we?

 

READ. THESE. BOOKS.

Summer's almost over but I want to share with you two books that were a part of my summer reading list: I'm Down by Mishna Wolff and Pretty Little Dirty by Amanda Boyden. They are comical and light-hearted,yet eye opening books that can be read simply for relaxation. The best way to get your mind off of the stuff happening in your life is to delve into someone else's drama... (of course this should not apply in real life) You can read more about the books below!

The first book, I'm Down, is the memoir of Mishna Wolff, who was apparently an extremely awkward White girl who grew up in a predominantly Black neighborhood. The book chronicles her journey through her younger years as she struggles with her self-identity and tries to find a place (or group of people) to call "home." This book is truly HILARIOUS and very well written. It also opens your eyes to the commonalities of Whites and Blacks in America provoking the larger question: What does it really mean to be American?

The second book, Pretty Little Dirty, is a little more serious but equally enjoyable. The main character, who grew up in a less than perfect living situation (to say the least), lives in the shadow of her "perfect" best friend and her "perfect" family. The two teenage girls try to find their individual identities as they explore the dangerous worlds art and love.
