I'm baaaaaaaaaack! (If you'd like, click the inspiration link, and have it play as this post's personal soundtrack. You won't be disappointed.)
It has been a whole two months and, the entire time, I felt like I all my energy was draining from my being. I doubt anyone can truly the extent to which I have missed blogging!

I've been completely swamped with school. (I still have three finals to take, so I'm not completely done YET!) I was taking three programming intensive courses and utilizing three different languages: C, Java, and Assembly. My brain was literally melting and I knew that if I didn't give my studies my FULL attention, I'd have to personally dig the grave to bury my future in. Not something I could say I was looking forward to. So... I took a much needed break and now, 6 days before my birthday, I am here! Back. With outfits I took pictures of in April that I never had time to blog!

I hope you all didn't miss me too much!

Happy Mother's Day
to all the wonderful mommies out there.
We, your daughters, are incredibly happy
to have you in our lives!

This year was my first full year of blogging (January to December) and I, personally, think it's amazing to look back at my past outfits and compare how I've changed and/or improved :). This has definitely been a great year of blogging for me. I accomplished more than I ever imagined (500+ Facebook likes, 300 GFC followers, and 60,000+ pageviews) and I can see Chocolate Laced growing more than it already has (this excites me!) Without further ado, here are my Top 10 Looks of 2012 and your Top 5 Favorite Looks this year!

Ever since purchasing my DSLR, I've had my friends take a profile photo of almost every outfit just so I could one day do this!


That concludes my year in review! For those of you celebrating it, have a very merry Christmas tomorrow!

What I'm Wearing
Geometric Patterned Blazer: eBay ($1 + $6 shipping)
White Tank: H&M ($4)
Cobalt Blue Exposed Zipper Bodycon Skirt: H&M ($10)
Oxford-Style Flats: Kimichi Blue (eBay $10)

I love, love, love this blazer with all my heart! I was a little skeptical to purchase it because it's a petite 12, but I think it fits me just the way I want it to! I love how bright the colors are and how bold the pattern is! This blazer has inspired my spring/summer go-to style of brights and blazers. Of course, if and when it gets too warm, I'll lay off of the blazers and spice my outfits up with heart warming and eye catching colors and prints!

As you can see, my pictures have a special guest: my phone. Yes, I was indeed chatting up a storm with one of my best friends as I was taking these photos. A couple of them actually have me in mid conversation!

Outfit 1 was worn the day I got the job at H&M! I walked many miles in those heel and as comfortable as they are, I experienced my first blisters ever! Ouch!

The most classic feel and look of the year goes to: Outfit 2!

I will never forget the day Outfit 3 put me on the front page of Chictopia!

Outfit 4 was very reminiscent of Janelle Monae in the way I styled my hair and I loved it!

My first time ever getting thick braids and I debuted them with Outfit 5. Also strutted my stuff in my DIY off the shoulder cropped top!

Outfit 6: Best interpretation of Menswear.

Need help mixing prints? Check out Outfit 7!

My absolute favorite shoot was with Outfit 8. I had a wonderful time experimenting with poses and the weather was beautiful!

I wore Outfit 9 to my first Interview with H&M. I actually wasn't expecting an interview that day. They called me while I was at my summer camp job. Good thing I was still dressed to impress!

Outfit 10 is what I called "Neutral with a ROAR!" I loved it and it was very well received. I got over 700 notes on Tumblr thanks to this outfit.

Outfit 11: When DIY Goes Right!

Outfit 12 is my absolute favorite combination of 2011. Yes, I saved the best for last. Not only did the colors go wonderfully together, for my first time ever wearing shorts with tights, I did a great job in convincing myself that the style is worth trying! I also love how blue the sky is in all the pictures!

And there you have it! My favorite looks of 2011 (June-December since that's how long I've been blogging so far!)

What were your favorite looks that I wore last year? Did they make my final cut?
And last, but most certainly not least,

Happy New Year!


This is what I wore on New Year's Eve (to work)
