wINTER sUX . . . cOME oN sPRING !

I'm sick of the snow, the cold, and wearing this black coat almost everyday. I am a warm weather kinda person and my wardrobe and clothing purchases reflects this.

When winter first started I was ok with it, I hate cold weather but it wasn't that bad yet. Walking to class wasn't that bad during the day and I didn't leave the building at night if possible. Now that Christmas has passes and winter break is basically over I'm done with winter. I don't want it so snow again. I'm tired of icy roads and my little brother being home ALL DAY with me. The cold weather makes me so UNMOTIVATED to get dresses. All I wanna wear is thermal shirts, sweat pants, and my furry boots when I leave the house. (My mother is in the process of trying to throw away my furry boots)

Then theres my BOREDOM. There is only so much one can do while home alone. I draw and make things but even that get repetitive and tiresome. I even clean the house in my boredom. SMH. I miss being able to just throw on a sun dress and sit outside reading a book. Or ride my bike around my neighborhood then up to the park where I usually see someone I know. That kind of stuff just can't happen in the winter.

In the Spring and Summer you can be more carefree and wild. In the Winter you have to plan more and be prepared all the time. So all I can say now is FUCK THIS SNOW, FUCK THIS COLD . . . wake me up when SPRING begins. . . lls.

tHE wEDDING ! & mY hAIR !

This is the end result of my hair troubles. I pulled the middle back and did a mini bump and slicked the rest back into a little bun.

It took a lot of leave in conditioner and working of my curls to get them to behave. lol. It also didn't take as long as I thought it would to get it done and this was my first attempt. It wasn't as exciting or as fancy as I wanted my hair to look BUT my job as the Maid of Honor that day was to help my BFF and make HER look good. I didn't mind fading into the background some. The wedding was lovely. Short, sweet, and to the point just how she wanted it. Gosh I love that girl.

hELP ! . . . Hope this turns out GOOD.


My Best Friend Kadina is getting married tomorrow and I am her maid of honor. To the right is what my hair currently looks like. My dilemma is the obvious . . . WHAT THE HELL AM I GONNA DO WITH THIS ???

I've been online for a good HOUR and have found little help to my problem. This REALLY confused me considering everywhere I turn African-American woman are turning to natural hair solutions. I found a few blogs that talk about natural hair and there experiences. (which prompted me to blog about my own hair)
YET I didn't find an image or even a site that could really help me. Every picture or sight basically told me I'd have to blow dry, flat iron, or curl my hair. The few things I have been trying to avoid.

SO I fear I am going to have to wake up early and play with my hair for about 30mins using all these Hollywood and unbeWEAVEable styles as "inspiration". If all goes well I will have found a solution to my problem FOREVER, or at least until my hair gets longer. lol

I also think i'm going to document my trials and errors tomorrow morning so I can HOPEFULLY help some other girls or women when there in a hair predicament. I know for some people going natural isn't easy at first but maybe by sharing my lil tips and tricks I can make it a lil easier.

This is my hair progression from the beginning of last summer til now...... BUT my hairs been natural since about 10th grade. Tried a texturiser once last year but it wasn't that great so I got my hair cut and thats where the pics begin.

Well . . .

Until Tomorrow.

aLL bLACK eVERYTHING !

TODAY. . . I spent the day with my Mommy and we took care of a few things. Usually I just throw on the WARMEST clothes I can find and head out but today I decided to "try". lol.

Since I got a pair of Dr.Martens for Christmas I've been wanting to wear them again. . . SO I did. I grabbed my black New York & Company leggins ($10), Eddie Bauer long sleeve black shirt I got for Christmas, purple Nordstrom scarf I got for Christmas 2 yrs ago, and my black Delia's pea coat ($40). I found the sunglasses in my little brothers room, he wears glasses so I figured I could put them to better use then he was. I got the purse back when I was working at Van Heusen my senior year of high school. ($??)

After I got dresses and me and Mommy had been out for a lil bit she looked at me and told me I looked very "artsy". I find that funny considering I'm an ART MAJOR. lol. Then after I got home I had to make sure I put this look on my lookbook. Check It Out.

lATELY . . . i'M fANCY HUH ?

This is Mike & I . . . . #thatisall















SO....My Daddy decided to have early Christmas with me and some of my brothers since I was home from school and staying with him a few days. At school since i'm an art major, not only am constantly painting but im walking everywhere, I don't get the chance to wear all my cute clothes often. Only time we get "dressed up" is to go out and thats a whole different topic covered in some of my other blog post. . . .ANYWAY.

When I go shopping I tend to buy cute things I know i'll be able to wear with things I already own and make a great outfit. For instance my outfit to the riiight. ---->I've had this sweater (from H&M) for a lil while now and I wear it all year round. So I went to the mall before leaving school (the mall here in Hagerstown doesn't have as much as the Towson Mall) to find a skirt and possibly some boots. . . and I was SUCCESSFUL !

I found the skirt at Forever21 for about $14, I found a replacement waist belt for $7, and I found 2 pack of &1.50 earrings (2 pairs of hoops and a 5 pack of pearl in varying sizes, I have on the big pearl in this picture) . Even better then ALL that I found boots, that fit my big legs, at wet seal for about $40. Then I went to target and got some tights for $5.
Last Saturday I out but it all together and this was the result. A cute spend-the-day-with-your-family outfit! My Daddy said I look very Holiday like. lol



Though I did miss getting all cute to go places . . . It feels good to be home Sunday (My Mommys or Daddys House) and just throw on a pair of jeans (Delia's $10) and a t-shirt (Forever21 $5) and dance around freely.

Since it is WINTER BREAK I'm feeling quite FREE. I can wear whatever I want (AS LONG AS IT KEEPS ME WARM) and not worry about if im gonna spill oil paint on it. lol

STAY WARM !

mY 3D pROCESSES fINAL

The final assignment in my 3D class was to create an ASSEMBLAGE out of atleast 4 random objects . . . BUT . . . one of our objects had to be a golf club. SO, I decided I wanted to make a dress since I knew no one else was gonna do it AND I love clothes. For my dress I ended up using AriZona green tea cans, white grocery store bags, wire, bra hooks, old headphone cord, a broken belt, and the golf club. Sounds really odd but as you can see it turned out pretty good.


ME ! and the hair accessory I made to match the dress.
I Love AriZona Green Tea . . . lol
