$1.50 F21 Ridged Square Earrings


 I forgot about this pic. I posted it on Twitter on New Year's Day while I was at The Cheesecake Factory for the very 1st time in life. lol Initially, I was just showing the puff, but I completely forgot I was wearing these vintage, distressed earrings. Love them! I bought another pair too, but I haven't worn them yet or taken pics of them. Forever 21 is quickly becoming one of my least favorite places to shop simply because every time I go in there, it's a freakin' madhouse. I can't shop in the middle of chaos. I like peace & quiet when I'm shopping...mainly so I can think. I'm gonna start shopping there in the early morning when they open because I can't.deal. I've barely been to F21 since we moved to Houston because of this. However, I do love that I can always find a good deal in there! Shoot, I just might start shopping online....

Speaking of online, here they are: Ridged Square Earrings

Stretched Hair!


My ends were still frizzy and curly after I tension stretched with my blow dryer this past weekend. I was hoping they would be a little straighter. I'll be updating this later on tonight with the products I used, etc. Off to the exciting grocery store. lol

P.S. I wear this romper all the time while lounging around the house. So you may see it excessively.

1 Year Natural Hair Anniversary! (Comparison)


Yep, ya'll. It's been a WHOLE YEAR since I bc'ed. I was one preggie woman on a mission last year! lol Since my curly 'fro is my go to style, I wanted to show you guys how my hair (which I posted on Facebook on Friday) looks in it's true state. No stretching, just the shrunken goods. Yesterday, I tension stretched my hair so I'll be putting up some pics off that tomorrow. I also have to do a trim or search and destroy because unfortunately my 'love' for my unstretched hair has led to single strand knots. *sigh*

Update: 2011 Hair Resolutions!


 *hair coming down a little in the back*

1. Continue transitioning & eventually chop off all of my relaxed ends so I can be fully natural! (Natural!)

2. Continue shampooing, deep conditioning, and moisturizing my hair regularly. (Check!)

3. Re-stock my Deity protein conditioner!! I miss this stuff so much! (Still haven't done this. :\)

4. Continue to cut 1 inch or more every month until completely natural.  (Check! Natural for almost 8 months!)

5. Try shea butter. (Trying this as we speak)


And why did I just now realize 1 & 4 are the same thing????? Why didn't ya'll tell me?? lol! O_o All I need to do now is get my hands on some of the Deity conditioner & I'll be all done. What's going on w/ your hair resolutions? We still have about 4 months left in 2011 ladies!

***********************************************************
 
I know I'm a little late in posting this. Finished all except 1. Don't worry. I'll be finding my Deity conditioner in 2012! Been trying so many products that I barely miss it. o_o

4 Things That Don't Go With My Personal Style

 I did this post on ETSS (my other blog that I'm trying merge with this one). It's so funny looking back on this post & comparing it to me today. I have to say....it's all still true! lol Keep in mind I wrote this in spring of 2010.

************************************************************************************


Although, I'm still getting used to this "style" blogging thing, I thought I'd let you guys know what you won't see a lot of on this blog.

1. Stockings. I can't stand stockings. I NEVER wear them. They irritate the crap out of my legs. I've never liked them. My mother would try to get me to wear them as a child, but I could barely last a few hours in them. When it gets warm, I really don't like anything touching my legs so pants really don't exist to me at this time of the year.

2. Socks. I know it's trendy to wear socks with sandals right now, but I won't be jumping on this bandwagon. I'm from the south & really prefer walking around with no socks while I'm in the house. Socks are okay, but I don't own a pair I've actually bought. I like the socks that go over each toe. :-) Those are the only kinds I own. And I hardly ever wear them. If I need thicker socks when it's cold, I wear the hubby's.

3. Pants/Jeans. I know I just wrote this in the "Stockings & Socks" category, but it needs to be said again. I'm a dress kind of girl. I love dresses. I've already done a post with jeans. Click here if you missed it. However, you may not see jeans again on ETSS for a lonnnnng time. When it gets steadily warm, I don't wear pants. I'm not kidding. I wear dresses, skirts & shorts. I would love to live somewhere that's so warm that I don't have to wear pants. lol, Seriously. You won't see many outfits of me in pants unless it's cold(er)out.

4. Sneakers. Lol, I only have 2 pair. (well I have some in my mother's garage back home) One pair I've had since I was 17. They're raggedy, but I love them. ;-) The hubs gave me a Foot Locker gift card for Christmas a couple of years ago. He was hoping I would throw away the old ones. Not! The sole will have to literally be falling off for me to throw those shoes away. Hahaha. (UPDATE: The sole really fell off the shoes a few days ago! I was sad at first, but hey I've had them for over 10 years...LOL. I wish I'd taken a pic of them.) Anyway, I bought some Jordans with the gift card. And I'm expecting to keep those for the next 10-20 years. I'm clearly not a sneakers girl. More like heels, flip-flops, sandals, etc...

That's it! I hope you guys now have a little more insight into my personal style. :-)
