OOTD- SUNDAY EDITION

TODAY'S OUTFIT OF THE DAY IS ACTUALLY A SUNDAY EDITION. THIS PARTICULAR OUTFIT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT YOU WEAR TO CHURCH, COURT, BUSINESS DINNER ETC. THIS PICTURE IS ACTUALLY A FEW YEARS OLD BUT I STILL LOVE THIS OUTFIT. ITS A VERY CLASSIC, SIMPLE LOOK. THE SHIRT IS A WHITE 3/4 SLEEVE FITTED BUTTON UP THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE WORN SEVERAL WAYS BECAUSE IT HAS LONG FLAPS AT THE BOTTOM BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THIS LOOK I TUCKED THEM IN. IT WAS PURCHASED AT RAVE FOR $5 ON A CLEARANCE SALE. THE SKIRT IS A BLACK FITTED PENCIL SKIRT THAT I PURCHASED AT BODY SHOP A FEW YEARS AGO FOR ABOUT $10 (AS YOU CAN TELL IM A BARGAIN SHOPPER LOL) THIS SKIRT CAN BE WORN WITH A WIDE BELT OR A THIN ONE BECAUSE IT HAS TWO SETS OF BELT LOOPS. IN THIS CASE, I HAVE ON A PATENT LEATHER WAIST BELT AND THE MATCHING PEEP-TOE PATENT LEATHER HEELS. I DIDNT REALLY WEAR ACCESSORIES OTHER THAN STUD EARRINGS BECAUSE I DIDNT FEEL THE OUTFIT NEEDED IT. THIS OUTFIT IS MORE IDEAL FOR THE MORE CURVY-FIGURED WOMAN AND DOESNT LOOK AS FLATTERING ON STRAIGHT OR SQUARE SHAPED FIGURES. IF YOU WANT A DETAILED DESCRIPTION ON WHAT SKIRTS LOOK GOOD ON WHAT FIGURES JUST HIT ME UP WITH A MESSAGE AND ILL DO A POST. ALRIGHT LADIES, ENJOY........

Sensual Indian Remi Collection

after its been washed and product added. 14in #1
this is the dry afro look. it is sew in and its an 8in
Today's product review is for the Sensual Indian Remi Collection-jerry curl. I actually love this hair and I recommend it every chance I get. I normally wear this hair as a sew in. It is very easy to shampoo and maintain. When it originally comes in the pack it is straight but if you wet it it curls up. I use several products to maintain this hair depending on the look Im going for. For a wetter looking curl I use jerri curl activator and mousse. For a drier, afro type of curl I use Mixed Chicks. Once you've worn it curly if you want it straight again I suggest shampooing, then blow drying and then flat ironing. I definitely recommend that you also use some sort of heat protectant. This hair is relatively affordable depending on your budget. It runs anywhere from $35-$50 a pack depending on the length. If you live in St Pete this hair can be purchased at Fat Boys Beauty Supply. If you live in Tampa it can be purchased at King's Beauty Supply on Busch blvd. It is also available in a body wave and indian wave but the jerri curl, by far, is my favorite. It is available in the basic colors #1,#1b, #2, #4. Anything lighter than this you would have to color it yourself, which shouldnt be a problem because this hair colors very easily. Alright let me know how you like it, divas. Enjoy.........
the hair in its straight form. i manually curled it at the end with a big barrel curling iron.
this 14&16in in #1b

OOTD- YELLOW SUN DRESS

TODAY'S OUTFIT OF THE DAY IS A YELLOW SUN DRESS THAT WAS PURCHASED FROM PAPAYA LAST YEAR FOR ABOUT $20. THE TOP PART OF THE DRESS IS A MUSTARD YELLOW AND IS MORE OF A STRETCHY POLYESTER/COTTON BLEND. THE BOTTOM OF THE DRESS IS DUCK YELLOW AND IT IS LINEN MATERIAL. IF YOU ARE TALL THIS IS THE PERFECT DRESS BECAUSE IT IS LONG AND I KNOW MOST TALLER WOMEN HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING LONG SUN DRESSES. I ADDED A BLACK ELASTIC WAIST BELT TO BREAK UP THE DEMENSION OF THE DRESS SO IT DOES NOT LOOK SO LONG. I AM WEARING BLACK SANDALS WITH A BIG RHIMESTONE ON THE TOP. AS FAR AS ACCESSORIES IM WEARING A MULTI-CHAIN NECKLACE THAT WAS $10 AT WET SEAL, PEARL EARRINGS AND A SILVER FITTED BANGLE. PERFECT OUTFIT FOR A SUMMER DAY. ENJOY LADIES.......

SHORT HAIR STYLING OPTIONS

I HAVE FOUND THAT WITH THE TYPE OF HAIR CUT I HAVE IT IS EASY TO DO DIFFERENT STYLES. WHICH IS CRAZY BECAUSE WHEN MY HAIR WAS LONG I FELT LIKE WITH SHORT HAIR I WOULDNT HAVE MUCH VERSATILITY. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE OPPOSITE. WITH MY SCHEDULE AS OF LATE, I HAVE BEEN PRETTY MUCH ROCKING THE SAME STYLE. JUST BECAUSE IT MADE LIFE SIMPLE. THIS PAST SATURDAY NIGHT I DECIDED TO SWITCH THINGS UP WITH A GOOD OLD FASHIONED ROLLER SET. ROLLER SETS ARE MY FAVORITE THING TO DO NO MATTER WHAT THE LENGTH OF MY HAIR IS. IT JUST SEEMS TO MAKE THINGS SIMPLE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING A SHORT CUT WAY TO DO ROLLER SETS,GO TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL KINGDOM BEAUTY(SIMPLY PUT) AND I HAVE SEVERAL TUTORIALS ON ROLLER SETS. WELL, FOR THIS ONE IT WAS THE SAME CONCEPT JUST SHORTER HAIR AND SMALLER ROLLERS. IM POSTING PICS BELOW SO YOU CAN SEE THE FINISHED PRODUCT. IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS JUST HIT ME UP. BY THE WAY, THIS STYLE WILL LAST ME FOR ABOUT A WEEK. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT MIGHT LAST LONGER BUT I HAVE NEVER WORN IT FOR LONGER THAN THAT SO ALL I CAN SPEAK FOR IS A WEEK LOL. ALRIGHT LADIES ENJOY.......
