Hello Beauties!
Today's post features another installment for the natural hair website, KinkyCurlyCoilyMe.
Prior to having my senegalese twists put in, I was given the opportunity to review Coconut Khijo Cream by a Georgia-based company named Khijo. This company was created by two young ladies who held a vision of creating something that could be used by various people in various ways. The cream can be used on skin and hair. It can be used on natural tresses as well as a treatment prior to blowing out hair.

All Black Everything
Hello Beauties!
Recently I have been fascinated by the wonderful world of prints, but today, I kind of wanted to take it back to one of my favorites. You can't go wrong with a black dress in my book. In fact, if you really knew how long I have had this dress, you would either say I should be ashamed or congratulate me on my washing skills. I digress...
I decided to rock all black everything and even though it was a step in reverse to my "ode to trying new things," I enjoyed the reminder.
Check out the outfit:

FabEllis + YouTube
Hello Beauties!
If you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen me tweeting about trying to begin a YouTube channel. I have wanted to do this for quite some time, but I wanted to make sure I had a few things in order first. Since the only thing I am missing is proper lighting (and it was sunny outside), I decided to shoot an introduction/test video for my channel.
I would love for you to check it out, subscribe and comment. More videos to come!

Paisley Print
Hello Beauties!
A few weekends ago, I had the opportunity to check out Value Village in Greensboro, NC. I became a huge fan of Value Village last year while shopping in Charlotte so I was thrilled to visit another one of their stores. This store did not disappoint and I walked away with a bag full of goodies! One of the goodies I snagged was an orange, paisley printed skirt. As outlandish as that sounds, I loved the way it looked when I tried it on and it has pockets.Yes, pockets are a big deal!
I recently wore the skirt and paired it with a few items in my closet. Here is what I came up with:

Hello Beauties!

Haute37 Review
Hello Beauties!
If you follow me on Instagram (missfabellis), I'm sure you have begun to notice my affinity for big, bold statement pieces. I just love a piece of jewelry that can take a regular outfit over the top. Because of this, it was no surprise that when I came across Haute37, that I fell in love. The pieces on the jewelry website based in Texas are truly beautiful and not only that...affordable! I was tickled when I was given the opportunity to choose two items from the site. I couldn't wait to put them on when they came in the mail.
