Confidently Curly

I don’t often touch on the topic of natural hair nor do I often share my own experiences with my natural hair. However, being a natural girl, I pay attention to all the hype on social media; bloggers, YouTubers, comments made by those in transition that have questions and concerns, and so on… With all of the “natural attention”, I started thinking about my journey and how I’ve grown, being natural. Though many think it is, I’ve learned that most of the transition isn’t magical. Successfully embracing and rocking your natural curls isn’t just about knowing the techniques or about the products. The first thing a natural girl has to master is being confident.

Can’t Live Without My… White Button-Up

Spring is here!

It’s time for me to start putting some spring outfits together and a large amount of them will include the classic white button-up. The look of a crisp white button-up is appropriate for so many occasions and it’s lightweight, but has long sleeves; appropriate for the spring weather. The thousands of button-ups I have (I’m exaggerating. I only have about 3.), have come from H&M ($19.99); just because they have a good basics section.

Can’t Live Without My… Leather Jacket

In the morning, when I’m trying to decide what to wear, my “I can’t find anything” go-to is my (faux) leather jacket. I was looking through old pictures and realized I always have one on. Sometimes I’m wearing the jacket just as a coat, but it’s usually a part of my outfit. Even though I have other outerwear pieces I could wear  just as often, there’s something about a leather jacket that makes you look so effortlessly put together, even when you’re not.
