Natural Hair | Three Joys of Short Natural Hair
Hello Beauties!
As some of you may have seen from my last post and Instagram, I recently got a hair cut! Thanks to my stylist, Tiffany Denae, I went back to not only a tapered cut, but black hair. It was fun rocking colored hair for almost a year and watching my hair get longer, but I began to long for my tapered cut again. Since we already know long hair is not my personal natural hair goal, I decided to go ahead and have my hair chopped.

Personal Style | Mad Hatter
Hello Beauties!
I'm laughing to myself as I write today's post because ever since I received this beautiful fascinator from Republic of Pigtails, I have wanted to name this post, "Mad Hatter." That was the first thing that popped into my mind and I had to go with it. When it comes to hair accessories, I have always wanted to wear a fascinator. Perhaps it's a southern thing. I'm used to women wearing hats and hair accessories to church and as I've gotten older, I've wanted to join the style statement.

Our Wedding Day
Hello Beauties!
Four months ago today, I married the love of my life in my hometown in North Carolina. Our wedding took place in the late morning and ended with a brunch reception with our friends and family. I wanted to share a few photos from our special day with you.

LEKKER Bikes US Has Arrived in Greensboro!
Hello Beauties!
As a thrift lover and someone who loves supporting local businesses, it's wonderful when those two loves can be combined. I have been a long-time lover of vintage and thrifting and there is something about vintage clothing and old films that just has a classic feel to me. Knowing this, I was amazed as I sat in Downtown Greensboro a few months ago and saw a young lady riding a retro bike. Little did I know that LEKKER Bikes US, creator of Dutch designed retro and single speed bikes, was soon coming to Greensboro, North Carolina.

Beauty | em michelle phan The Everything CC Cream Review
Hello Beauties!
If you have been following me on Facebook, you may know that I gave up wearing foundation everyday almost a year ago. Due to lack of time and my discovery of BB Cream, I began using BB Cream instead of my usual foundation. Not long after I began using BB cream, I began seeing CC creams emerging on the scene. Of course, I didn't know the difference between the two, but thanks to The Everything CC, I now do. Keep reading to learn the difference between BB and CC creams as well as my review of The Everything CC cream...

Personal Style | A Bardot Collaboration
Hello Beauties!
One of the highlights of blogging is the friendships you make along the way. I recently mentioned this on Instagram and today's post shows the evidence of a beautiful friendship I've made during my blogging journey. Today I am collaborating with my fellow naturalista, Mane Angels, to share our personal styling of a bardot top we each picked up at Shop Local Raleigh's recent Boutique Blowout.

Fashion | Belk Fall Fashion Preview 2014
Hello Beauties!
Last month, I had the awesome opportunity to check out the 2014 Belk Fall Fashion Preview with Belk's Fashion Director, Arlene Goldstein. Goldstein hosted the preview at the Belk inside Crabtree Valley Mall. This year's preview (see last year's here) was held in the evening and upon entering there were delicious hors d'oeuvres from a local catering company. Not long after entering, Goldstein began the fall fashion preview.

Natural Hair | The Original Curly Tee Towel Review
Hello Beauties!
When it comes to hair, particularly natural hair, we all know it's a bit of a process when it comes to styling our hair. From washing to conditioning to styling, it can take awhile to achieve the finished look. One way that we try to cut back on the styling process is by trying to get our hair to dry quicker. We may use a t-shirt or towel to cut the hair drying time in half. That's where The Original Curly Tee Towel ($16.99) steps in. This towel is made to help dry your hair, but with love. Keep reading to learn more about The Original Curly Tee Towel and to see my review...

Personal Style | My Birthday Suit
Hello Beauties!
Last weekend, I celebrated my birthday at the beach. I hadn't spent more than one day at the beach in quite a few years so I thought it would be a great time, particularly because it's getting close to off-season, to visit the beach and play in the water. This trip was especially memorable because we had a wonderful time and I took a major risk.
