FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT

I've always loved natural looking hair, real or fake, especially if its big.  Right now I'm rocking a wash & go look in brown and blonde hues.  I LOVE IT!  But enough about my hair.  The natural hair craze has boomed this past year with thanks to celebrities like Brandy and Kelly rocking big natural hair styles on the red carpet.  Bloggers and vloggers have taken noticed too and have given their expertise to styling, caring for, and managing natural hair. 

We've all heard of the the big chop (cutting off any relaxed/permed hair and letting your true texture grown in).  But what if you simply can not function in your daily life with your hair looking the way it does?  Well I found something awesome.  I came across this site called Finger Comber that sales natural looking hair.  I'm talking hair that looks like natural 4b/4c hair, beautiful kinky hair.  I've used the Rastafarian dreadlock hair to create kinky locks but that hair only comes in bundles.  Finger Comber hair comes in bundles and in wefts.  I've never seen kinky hair you can weave.

Finger Comber's hair comes in several shades.  The site even provide tutorials on how to use the wefts or bundles and how to style the hair.  This is great for naturals who can't fully transition into the natural style.  It's also great for those naturals who want their hair to look fuller.  I say fake it till you make it.  I'm so happy to come across this site.  I look forward to trying out this hair.  I'll give a review once I purchase one of the styles and let you know how it turns out.  Have any of you tried this brand or a similar brand of kinky hair bundles/wefts?  Let me know.

MIXING IT WELL

I wasn't to much of a fan of the head to toe denim look this past summer.  But then I just seen this photo of a denim shirt with a fancy gold skirt.  Hum..., I can rock this. This gives me new purpose to purchase a denim shirt now.  But for those of you who already have one you can give new life to your shirt.  Just mix it with a fancy skirt.  This is mixing causal and fancy together and getting it right. All pieces shown here are under $44. Enjoy!

DIY-MAKING WHATS OLD NEW AGAIN

I seen this blog and wanted to share with you the wonderful idea this blogger came up with.  She taken wedges and push pins to replicate a designer look.  All you do is take push pins (can be found at your local dollar store) and push them into your corkscrew wedges.  How cool and inexpensive is this idea!  You can take this look a step further and use color push pin or paint silver/gold pins to the color you want.  I have a pair of wedges from last summer that are a little worn down.  Now I can revamp them and wear with tights this fall/winter.  You can find the full tutorial here.  Have you done a cool DIY project recently?

MARVELOUS MONDAYS

Happy Monday!
Why are Mondays so hard?  I hate dressing up on Mondays sometimes.  I wake up late therefore I'm rushing to pull myself together.  Because of this I opt out and wear jeans, flats, and a tee.  Hopefully your Monday mornings are not like mine.  But if they are here is an easy solution. Wear a dress.  Wearing a dress is takes all the guess work out of getting dressed.  It's simple and you'll always look pulled together.  Just add black pumps and a statement necklace, cuff, or earrings and your good to go.

SHARING IS CARING

I'm still in the developing stages of my site/blog.  Sometimes I want to share personal stuff but still haven't gotten past the point of letting others in like that.  I'm working on this though because I have a lot I want to share with you.  But in the mean time I'll share with you beautiful images of fashion, art, food, etc.  My dream job would be an editor of my own magazine.  There's so many aspects to that job.  I love sharing ideas and images with you, my readers.  With that being said lets share.  Share something about yourself, your style, your beauty regime, your fav recipe.  Share your blog/site with me and the readers here.  Share my site with other women.  Don't be shy, I'm stepping out my comfort zone, you can too.  Sharing is caring.

LETS MAKE UP

I've been trying out lipstick and lip pencils more recently.  I've always been a lip gloss girl, now woman.  But Nicki, Riri, and Solange have all inspired me to rock a hot pink lip.  The only problem, gloss doesn't do the job.  So I've been experimenting with different lipsticks and lip pencils.  I've found a few that are worth it, but I hate re-applying it.  So I was happy to have found Rachel's blog about how to apply lipstick that will stay put.  I'm trying this first thing in the morning.  Check out her blog post to get further details.  Do you have makeup tips that you swear by?  If so let me know you secret.

TIME TO MOVE ON

I've been wanting to step my style game up. I'm getting older, gracefully and want my image to portray that. But part of me is still a little hesitant to leave what I known for years behind. I love putting un-expecting stuff together and trying out new trends. But I guess when you start to get older you develop your sense of style. I know what my sense of style is but I feel I will look crazy if I wear my style day in and day out, then one day I wear Converse sneakers with a skirt. Will others think I'm crazy. But the time is approaching for me to do a once over on my wardrobe and make the switch. Are you hanging on to your old style knowing that it needs to develop and evolve? Let me know.

Much Love & Fashion Fun,
