I Want Her Look…Tracee Ellis Ross


Hola!  I hope that your day is going great!  I so want the look of my fave natural chica–Tracee Ellis Ross.  She has been featured on SNC as Monday’s Muse but I cannot get enough of her hair or style.  She is always flawless and chic.  I really need to get my french braiding skills up to par so that I can style my hair like this and her look, well that is always on point.  Ms. Ellis Ross continues to stay fresh and original.  Don’t you agree?

Natural Hairstyle and Chic Outfit for Turkey Day


Hola!  I hope all is good with you guys.  I am gearing up to head out of town for the holiday, so I am bit flustered with packing clothes and hair products.  I don’t know as this will be the first time that some of my fam has seen my new natural do so I want it to be fly yet easy for travelling.  While browsing www.naturallycurly.com I came across this Twist-out bun on KinkyCurlyQueen and I love it!  It seems very easy to do and to care for.  Ok, so hairstyle is in place now for the outfit.  I pulled one of my styleouts that I did on shmotter to go with the look and I think that this would be perfect for a chic yet laid-back Thanksgiving day.  So what do you think?  What are you plans for your hair/outfit on turkey day?  Do tell….

Random…NYC Pics…


Hola!  Just a quick post here about nada really….just NYC cityscapes and me!  Here are a few shots of downtown whilst out on my impromptu shopping trip that surprisingly was suggested by my significant other (shopping is not his fave pasttime).   I don’t know what it is but I am really falling for photography and obsessed over taking pics of different hoods in the city.  Hummm, it just relaxes me.  Enjoy!

Friday Sass—Holiday. Fashion. Windows.


Hola!  Feliz Viernes!  Usually I would post one of my style outs today but I decided to change it up a bit.  Yesterday I was able to take some really cool pics of the holiday windows at Lord & Taylor and BCBG.  It was a great way for me to relax my mind and take in some fashion; as well as avoid my usual lunch hour shopping urge.  I am going to do my best to continue to post holiday windows during the season as I make my rounds to different boutiques and department stores.  Please stay tuned…enjoy!

**The following are pics of Lord & Taylor’s windows.**
