The purpose of the conference was to educate new bloggers like me, in addition inspiring models and beauty bloggers.

My Little Black Romper

Remember when I told yall I was gonna get back to the fashion. Well FashionLayn is back on target with the fashion with message niche. I had a lot of stuff going on for the past couple of weeks in September. I am so happy that October is here now. It always lovely to start fresh, it definitely makes me feel better. So far the past week  it has been super hot and it did not feel like fall. Summer said no fall I’m not ready to go without having a heat wave. So I partook in the heatwave festivities.  So I decided to wear this super cute splice top short romper from target. And you already know how much I adore strips vertically lol. It been in my closet for quite some time and never had the chance to be displayed on the blog. So since Summer decided to make impression and heat up the city, I’m gonna do a little heating up of my own in this romper. Honestly I hear a lot of flake about wearing a romper. Wedgie central, and going the bathroom is quite a task lol. All true but who cares ! It a romper and really easy …

Stay In Your Lane

Don’t compare yourself to others… it a route that definitely leads you to unhappiness. I definitely struggle with this from time to time. Somethings I do not know I am even doing it . But, Ii is easier said than done and I know I am not alone with this one.  We live in a age of social media and it rules everything around us, dollar dollar bill y’all ( I had Wu Tang moment don’t judge me). It really does tho, you sit there and you are scrolling through you timeline and look at others people lives and you start to get caught out in all the noise- Comparing yourself. We even do it when we are having conversations with friends, and collegues – comparing yourself. We compare our looks, lives, wealth, and everything in between. Something we compare ourselves to make ourselves feel good. All in all somebody always get hurt and always takes a stab at our confidences. When you compare yourself to others, it always looked at as a weakness. You may have a short live boost of ego and who wants that however its short lived. Worst part of it all you end up resenting …

Sensitive to the Bone

Omg she is so sensitive? Don’t cry because people are going to think you are weak?  Just get over it !!You need to get tougher skin? Why are you so anxious ? LOL you look frazzle. I have heard it all. This weekend my emotions were on over drive due to my lady time. Everything was under my skin, and have been dub the name bipolar Alayna. In addition, I was told that I don’t say certain things to you because I know you can’ take it.  **Side eye** That it I can take it anymore. LOL I can take it anymore I am so tired of it all. I tired of people looking at me funny because I am breaking down in tears because your tone is off. I do not like when people laugh at me because I am becoming anxious in a large crowd.  I know some people just do not understand it so I am going to explain it the best way I can. My goal is to get you all to understand how people like me feel and to drop the stigma of having emotions equal weakness. Sidenote: it is a lot of articles about …

Issa Celebration Y’all !

FashionLayn is LIVE !! Welcome to my first blog post on my newly revamped website !  FashionLayn girl you got a face lift Lol!! **In my KendallKyndall voice*** Girl you look good you look blessed ! Y’all already know I am super  excited. Anywho, all I know it was time for a fresh start, a new look for my blog. The reason for revamp I wanted people and myself to take blogging seriously. If you really want to be successful (major key alert) you have to invest into yourself.  Besides I have been telling myself for the longest you need to change platforms. As most of you know I start blogging on Tumblr. I choice the free route first to see if I really could manage keeping up with a blog. So here we are on WordPress. I changed platform because I wanted my blog to be more professional, have a professional look, and to have a bit more freedom to customize and make my page my own. So with that being said I did something today that will make my future self proud. So yes its a celebration !! I have been working on this website for 6 months …
