HOW TO SAVE BAD HAIR IN A HURRY!

Hello Fellow Fashion Addicts!

I hope that your Halloween was festive and full of tricks and treats! As for me I recently returned from eloping in Las Vegas! (Yay me!) We had an awesome time. I literally did not sleep lol! But not to stray off topic, those who know me are aware of the fact that I am VERY anal about my hair. I have been natural over a year and I decided to straighten my hair for my wedding day. I went to my local Dominican salon for a blowout and trim (she didn’t even trim my hair!) so I ended up doing it for myself which I prefer anyway. But during the vacation we were literally on the go the whole time so I wasn’t able to spend as much time on my hair without my husband getting frustrated (lol). So thank goodness I packed my favorite polo white tee because it turned out to be a life saver. The weather was fair. Sunny in the day and cool in the evening so when we were out sightseeing I got the idea to wrap my t-shirt around my head to save my hair from the heat and still be stylish at the same time! I call it my Eyrkah Badu look! I’ve included pictures so maybe it will come in handy for some of you all.

Feel free to comment or ask questions. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated from Montrese and me. 

Be Blessed!

TOP 5 FASHION TRENDS OF 2011
The leaves are falling, the weather outside is brisk, and winter is coming about. There is a flame waiting to be sparked in our closets! This season’s trends include plays on patterns, prints and various colors. Texture and contrast are also huge factors in creating the perfect day or evening look. Adding these different accent pieces to your outfit can stimulate flair to your ensemble. With a little free time and an eye for great deals you can usually find practically new pieces at your local consignment stores (Trust me I have mastered the art!). One thing a woman adores is to stand out in a crowd. Using your own creativity and fashion sense renders a bold statement without breaking your bank. Also COMFORT IS KEY, I cannot stress that enough. You may have paid the price for those red bottoms but is it really worth the pain of walking on stilts? (Not that I have had the chance to slip into a pair of those, but I’m just saying). While the trends of the season depict simplicity and elegance of the 60’s and 70’s sometimes we have to let the wild side surface! Choker necklaces and cuff bracelets are in this season along with leather bondage accessories. Yes I said it! Although controversial with its sexual stigma, it has found its way onto the runway. So with that said, if you unleash the best don’t down play it! But I digress, here are my top 5:
