Hair! Growing up women are taught that having luscious locks is what beauty. Everyone wants to have long hair blowing in the wind. Curly girls want to have long straight hair that does not shrink up at the sight of water. The moral of the story is that at young age it is implanted in our minds that our hair is our crown and glory. Now not every woman wants to have short hair and not every woman wants to have long hair. However, sometimes we encounter situations that will force us to leave our comfort zone into dangerous territory, which is what happened to me.

First and foremost I have had short hair a few times in my life. I am talking bald, no hair whatsoever. In a year and a half I managed to grow a large curly mane and I pretty much abused it. I colored it blue, purple, blonde etc. Unfortunately, recently I had decided to put a relaxer in my hair in order for it to be permanently straight. As a result my hair began to fall out immensely and I had to patches of missing hair on my head. I was absolutely devastated that a hairdresser had done such a horrible thing to my head. 

Although I could have saved my hair and kept my length I decided it was best to hack off all the damage. At first I wanted to cry, I had took almost two years to grow my hair and it made me feel sexy and beautiful. My hair had become my security blanket. Then I took a step back and reminded my self of all the bold style choices I made and how fearless I was and that just because my hair was falling out I shouldn't feel any less attractive. 

Thus, cutting my hair for the third time has once again made me feel liberated. As women sometimes we get so caught up on certain standards instead of taking a leap. There are days when I wake up and just think of all of my flaws instead of pointing out all of the great things about me, physically as well as mentally. If you want to change your look go for it, do not think that in order for a woman to be beautiful you must have long hair. Yes, it may be an emotional process and a few tears may be shed but you are still gorgeous.

Channeling Diane Keaton

I hope you all had a fabulous holiday.

I am sure all of us are recovering from our food comas and wine overloads and beginning the work week.

As for me, I have tortured myself with my intense after Christmas workout!

Time to drop those pounds and become healthy and stylish chicks.

As for my Holiday look I decided to seek inspiration from the amazing Diane Keaton. I didn't settle for one film but I used her all around style from the 1970s to inspire my look. As you may not know I have a few business suits and sometimes I enjoy wearing them as separates  Honestly, women's pants suits are not necessarily the most stylish choice of clothing. However, if you mix and match them as separates they can create an awesome look which is what I did.

I also experimented with braids and twists...what do you think??

Thanksgiving

 

Good Morning!!

 

I hope you all had a great holiday because I know I did. I ate so much food I can probably go into hibernation right now. My cousin is currently attending culinary school, thus she always brings home the amazing recipes she learns. It was a very tasty dinner and I cannot wait for Christmas dinner.

 

 

I went for a vintage look for the holiday which meant ditching the boring jeans and sweater look. I chose Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde minus the beret. It was a perfect choice especially since my bob is starting to grow out, and I admire her character's style in the film. The pencil skirts, chic sweaters, and bad girl attitude is exactly what I wanted. For my makeup I went with the classic bold red lip, sexy cat eye, and a few swipes of bronzer. The key to achieveing a smooth 50s look is to create a flawless complexion with foundation and sweeping bronzer across your cheeks and along the hairline. The goal is to minimize all redness and cover blemishes for a clear complexion. thus, it will make your eyes and lips pop! One can never go wrong with classic beauty!

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

I hope you all have a loving and fun filled holiday!

Be chic, be merry, and eat lots of turkey.

I am currently back in NYC to spend the holiday with my family. What are your plans for this wonderful holiday? What are you thankful for?

 

Well on a a more fashionable note I have changed my hair yet again. Since I am a college senior it is time to begin the job search and become more professional. Therefore, I have gone to back to black hair. I must say I am actually really happy to have black hair again I totally missed it! A little beauty secret is when you dye your hair jet black it hides split ends and automatically gives you hair a more healthy look.

 

How do I look??

 

 

If there is one thing I am thankful for is my fraternity; my family away from home. We have endured so many struggles and challenges lately but have grown closer everyday. I can honestly say I love them from the bottom for my heart and appreciate every second I spend with them. Thank you God for blessing me with my Alpha Kappa Psi Delta Chi family.

Now everyone knows how chic the french twist is. Just think back to when Audrey Hepburn is standing outside of Tiffany's in the beginning of Breakfast at Tiffany's or all the women on Mad Men. Simply put the french twist is just a simple style that is perfect for a fancy occasion or just a casual day out. Think of it as an alternative to the classic chignon. The funny thing is when I was little girl I absolutely hated when my mami did my hair like this. However, as I got older and started watching all my favorite classic movies I would nag her to do my hair like this and she would not! Instead of helping me, she encouraged me to teach myself. Finally two days a go I took a swing at it and succeeded! Now that I can do it I might take a break from the braided styles I have been wearing and be Holly Golightly.

The famous french twist!!

Here are the braided styles I cannot stop wearing, and also a picture of me as a chic kindergarten student.

First Saturday

Bonjour!

It is my first weekend back at school, and I must admit I am totally homesick.

However, today was quite fun. The  town I attend school hosts an event called First Saturday and the surrounding schools perform, host tables, stores give discounts, etc. It was the perfect opportunity to take my mind off all the negative emotions I have been harboring and enjoy the weather with my friends. I also ran into a girl with AMAZING HAIR. I love people who take risks and have cool, colorful, fun style. The young lady I met had multi color hair and I totally fell in love with her. I pretty much ambushed her and begged her to let me take her picture. Usually, I don't meet many people here with such fun style and personalities, it was so refreshing to meet someone so nice and bold. Anywho, we ended our day with the local thrift shop. It is so cozy and loveable. They always have such unique items. I purchased a ring and a necklace that I will share later on. Also, they have really cool knick knacks and photos that I want to go back and purchase. That is the beauty of attending school in a small town are the little mom and pop shops that house such cute and unique items.

Hiatus

Sorry I have not posted in so long. I am suffering from another loss and it is taking a toll on me and my personal life. I have lost two loved ones in one year, and quite honestly giving up seems like a great idea. 

I hope by the time school starts and I am well adjusted that maybe I will be in a more positive state of mind to share more posts with you guys.

Thank you for all the great comments, and I will continue to enjoy all of your blogs!

Believe it or not you all inspire me and reading your posts makes me smile as well as inspire me.

Here is a picture of my new haircut that I got on Friday!

If you are in the NYC area you can checkout my hairstylist on facebook Janae Walker.

Be Blessed and Creep On!

Hey Creeps!

I was featured on Bumble and bumble's instagram! Best intern ever maybe??

Anywho, I basically remade my french braids, but I did not blow dry my hair this time.

What do you think guys: cute or horrifying?

Frenchy

Ok, I admit it! I am addicted to playing with graphics and making them look over edited and obnoxious! I love it, I always wanted to learn how to use photoshop and make really creepy cool photos, but I never had the opportunity. So until then I will enjoy the free photo editors on the internet because it is addictive and I love making myself look like I am on fire.

As you may know braids are trending all over the runways and streets. As a young girl, I always had braids. Think of Alicia Keys circa 2002, yes I had cornorws with beads, seashells, etc. I guess you could say I was in my ghetto girl lost phase. What can I say I desperately wanted to be a fly girl! In a nutshell I am glad braids are making a comeback! Even though in my head, they never really left! So, I saw a tutorial on glamour featuring a french baid, which was the only obtainable hairstyle for me. ( I wish my hair was longer.)

This is Emily Blunt's amazing french braid that I tried to emulate. Now because my hair is so course, the whole messy look just does't work for me. It just looks like a lazy girl who did not want to comb her hair! So I tried to keep my french braids as neat as possible. What do you guys think of the braid trend?

Vamp meets Sid Vicious

Morning Creeps!

First and foremost I must apologize for stealing a photo from my instagram.

My laptop is currently having technical difficulties that I cannot explain. I am probably the most un tech savy blogger EVER! Haha

Yesterday at my internship (Bumble and bumble) I received their new product Hairdresser's Invisible oil. I loved it and it works marvelously. As you know my hair is natural and color treated, so dry frizzy hair is one of my major hair issues. Fear not, Hairdresser's Invisible oil saved me from my problems. Not only is my hair soft to the touch, it smells delightful and my hair did not sizzle at all when I curled it. This product is a must have for all hair types, especially color treated hair.

I created this look by pinning up my hair trying to emulate Sid Vicious. Years, ago Teen Vogue had an editorial featuring androgynous looks, and Sid was one of their inspirations. I loved it and now that my hair is longer I had no choice to succumb to my inner tomboy. Although I am a girly girl especially when it comes to beauty, I LOVE being one of they boys. Boyfriend jeans and baggy vnecks are my favorite items to splurge on. However, no matter how much of a tomboy I am I love to add a little femininty to my look a la make up.
