This Week On Instagram

This week has been productive and full of places to go in which the question arrives on what to wear. For me I get inspired to wear a certain outfit. I never plan or over-think a look for a certain setting and believe when you do your outfit suffers. 

Style should be effortless. 

Luckily this weeks' plans has included business, fashion and an educational setting. Running errands the other day I put on this cream number. I'm not usually the jeans type and I definitely do not even own a wifebeater (white ribbed tank top) Not in my wardrobe. So I took my spin on cream and received a great response!

Kevye Kim

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are a great couple whether you love them or hate them. Making money together, blowing up the tabloids and being fabulous as usual. They are even teaming up with funnyman Kevin Hart for the VMA's and Kanye called Kim the perfect woman in a song he wrote for her.

How sweet!

This relationship will make the best album ever.

Jhene Aiko X 3:16 Official Video

If you've heard a song from Jhene Aiko, you have let her streaming golden vocals soothe and mesmerize you.

This 24 year old singer/songwriter is not only strikingly beautiful but talented. Her background is mixed with almost every race you could think of and she has a young daughter with Omarions younger brother, O'Ryan. 

(Her birthday is March 16th, 2 days before mine!) 

Jhene Aiko's genre doesn't fit in any category and her feel is soothing. Through her music which is the epitome of poetry, she sings full of emotion physically connecting you to her music. It is EVERYTHING and hypnotizing. She has even worked with Bei Maejor who I interviewed previously. Check out a snippet of the interview HERE! and view her new video "3:16AM" below!

Fashionably Long And Braided X Ethnic Hairstyles

I absolutely love the long Solange Knowles/ Janet Jackson chunky braid look. However, only a select few can pull it off. Some end up looking like a hippie gone array. If you are a stylish Brooklyn native and my sister Lulu you can pull it off with a shaved side and an edgy nose ring.

DIY Ombre Blond-Red Tutorial

I started off with 1B Malaysian Straight to Wavy 16 inch hair. 

I sewed it in, I layered it, kept it curly and straightened it.

(It looked great both ways!)

After a few weeks I tried Ombre, which I originally did last year and had fun with the look so I wanted to try it again.

 Separating the hair and bleaching the ends until I got a favorable black-brown-blond tips,

I liked the blond tip look way more than the regular colored hair and then as usual I got bored and decided to dye the tips a cool color.

I wanted a light yet edgy color and choose this pinkish bright red Splat color.

The permanent color was vibrant. I recieved a load of compliments and what I aim to do, looking as real as possible.

I however, would NOT bleach and dye my hair, I will just stick with applying it to weave.

Radiant Red Dye Bleach X Color I used

I will be doing Weave Specials in the city of Atlanta.
