Big Chop!!!

I big chopped my hair, so I'm all natural. I had numerous of reasons for chopping my hair:
1. I wanted to go natural and stop perming my hair
2. My mom kept forcing me to perm my hair when I didn't want to so I cut my hair so would stop nagging me:)
3. I want to rock a short look for the summer time
4. I never really wear my real hair out anyways so why not start over and allow my hair to grow healthy without perm

When I cut the first strand of my hair, yes my hands were shaking but as I kept going it got easier to cut. My mom was not happy with me at first (all she did was stare at me with a straight face), but when I moisturized my hair and wore some makeup and earrings she was quiet pleased with the end result and she now supports my big chop.  I just want to have fun with my hair because at the end of the day it's hair and it will always grow back. I posted a video showing how I would like to style my short hair look for the summer with a picture. Enjoy<3

Denim-Mania

 I decided to go for a more casual look today and what not a better way to do that by wearing denim. I remember about 5 years ago or so I felt denim on top of denim was so out of style. But fast fowarding now, denim on top of denim is in. It gives your outfit a nice 90's theme. Tip and advice to find cheap, nice, timeless demin....The THIRFT STORE. The high waisted jeans and denim jacket are both from there and for the denim jacket in particular last year summer that item was a staple piece with my outfits. For this spring/summer I think high waisted denim shorts and pants with a cute crop top are going to be my main outfits on the go. Enjoy the pics <3

Hypnotize Me

Hey guys. It's been a while since I last updated and I apologize once again. I am currently in school and the workload is a lot during this time of the year so time doesn't come easy to me. As you can see I have changed my hairstyle and I have them in jumbo braids. I will try and do an update video on my hair journey some time later on this week. So I have an outfit put together that I absolutley adore. The piece of my outfit that I feel is most appealing is the skirt which I purchased from Forever 21. It's a striped, fitted pencil skirt that will give any lady hips. I do not have the hugest hips at all but the way this skirt is designed is that the stripes accentuate your mid area and sides especially when you wear it high waisted.  To the eye it looks like your waist is small and your hips are huge in a cute way. I love it, love it, love it and will look out for more skirts that  can do the trick on giving me curves and shaping out my body. Enjoy the pics below <3

Pop and Block

 I know it's been a while since I've updated. I do apologize for the delay. I had many things to handle and couldn't find the right time to take pictures and update. For today's outfit I had a very early spring look called colour blocking. My outfit is fairly simple but I just found solid, bold colours to make my outfit pop and standout. Colour blocking is a very fun technique that goes very well with the warmer seasons and will give your outfit a fun look. Try it! <3

Keeping it Versatile

 

The outfit shown above contains some of my most versatile pieces. They are versatile pieces because I can wear them with any outfit and still have a different look. Versatile pieces can either be used to dress up or to simply dress "down". Laced wedges can also serve as a versatile piece accompanying any denim, skirt or trousers.

Eggplant upon Leather

I attended church this morning and decided to take some shots with my new camera (yay!). The pencil skirt I'm wearing, I am absolutely in love with it. I got it yesterday at H&M at an amazing price of 14.95! It has a leather waist that gives the skirt an edgy finish to it. <3

Girlies night @ Joeys

To ring in 2012 right my girlies and I went out to Joey's located at Eaton Center and dined and wined the night away. The night was filled with laughter, serious discussions and great food, but most importantly Joey's got a taste of our grace and beauty to fill up the building. Enjoy the pics below. Patience<3
