Keri Hilson x braids of LIFE!!

How muvva friggin beautiful is Keri Hilson. I've noticed it before but the box braids really do her justice since it pulls all the hair away from her face and lets her beauty shine through. Eurgh I want braids now!!

Bob

 It's been a year since I last wore a weave. I put myself on weave hiatus because my hair just wasn't my focus anymore, my weaves were. But....I'm itching to weave it up again and have decided I'll only get a weave once a year...wearing it for 2-3 months then go back to the fro. Weaves are a great protective style (due to minimal manipulation of my real hair) ..so as long you take care of the hair underneath everything is good!

I want a "grown and sexy" do this time around and I'm loving the long bob styles I've seen on Ciara, Malaysia Pargo, Nicole Richie & co. It just looks easy to manage. I was thinking of doing it ombre-ish (more brown than blonde)..but still thinking about it.

I've ordered 3 bundles of 14 inch Cambodian hair from micheall.com - heard great things about the hair + the service so can't wait to see it and I ordered a closure from the hairandbeautycentre.co.uk (my go to store for lace wigs for years- so affordable!)

 

Will do a review on the extensions and closure when I get them.

Hair inspiration

Keeping ones hair moisturized and lively during the winter months is tough, not only do we have switch up our winter hair routines but also experiment with accessories and styles. So I'm loving these styles on celebs (as crazy as some may be). 

Brown and blonde like Kelis

From turbans to spikes like Willow Smith

Protective styling like Solange Knowles

 

pack it up like Amandla Stenberg

 

Grace Jones

Style Icon: Gennifer Goodwin

If there was any celeb I would happily share wardrobes with, it would be Gennifer Goodwin. Not only is she on my favourite show 'Once Upon a Time' but she is just adorably chic. 

Red carpet favourites  -versatile lengths in bold colours and shoes with details. 

Beauty close up - Simple 70's makeup: bold brows, soft + natural face with nude lips + focus on eyes.

The devil is in the details - intricately detailed dresses paired with bold nails and unique accessories.

riley

Obsessed with this curly angel (in a non creepy way..I promise)!!! She's such a little poser.....euuurgh...my ovaries! Can't wait to have kids..especially a bunch of little girls...so I can dress them up fro and all :-)
