“Beautiful hair is a woman’s crowning glory”

I’m a chameleon when it comes to rocking hairstyles. From long to short, or red to black (still haven’t done blonde yet!), I love to switch it up! Because my hair is chemical-free, warm weather tends to draw/curl it up (spongebobesque). So I tend to rock extensions in the Summer, and my own hair in the Fall/Winter. With all the hairstyles I’ve tried, very few have I fallen in love with. Until now.

Earlier this year, I talked about my fascination with box braids. And after rocking them for almost 2 months now, I’ve fallen madly in love with them! I’m pretty close to claiming the look as one of my “signature” styles.

A few tips on finding your “signature” style.

• Think about what makes you feel your most confident. Is it long or short hair? Think about how it makes you feel when you wear the style. Confident? Carefree? Alluring?
• Determine how much time you’re willing to spend on your hair every morning. For me, 15 minutes is the maximum amount of time I’ll spend on my hair before rushing off to work. Box braids are perfect for my get up and go morning routine.
• Factor in your need for versatility. If you get bored easily, cutting your hair short or getting locs probably isn’t for you. If you’re OK with complacency, going for a more permanent style shouldn’t be a problem for you.

Rita Ora, Roc Nation’s latest signee, may be our next fashion “it-girl” to watch out for. The 21-year old, Rihanna look-alike (if you squint hard enough) has been making promo rounds for her new single “Party and Bullsh*t.” It’s a bit early to determine if she’ll have a unique image, but by the looks of her style she already seems to move to the beat of her own drum. Check out a few of her looks below.

I’m a sucker for accessories. And although I love statement pieces, I love simplicity even more. Enter: Alex and Ani. The eco-friendly company creates powerful, meaningful, and spiritual pieces, that are intended to uplift and inspire. While this concept is unique in itself, the story of the company’s creator and designer is even better. Launched in 2004 by, Carolyn Rafaelian, Alex and Ani (named after her first two daughters, cute!) was birthed with the idea that ”spirituality believing, one can infuse thought into material to recognize one’s power and unique essence in their everyday wear.”

I’ve already purchase three pieces from Alex and Ani, and my goal is to have lots more. I love the cute-factor of the pieces, and I love the story even more.

Music’s biggest night is upon us, the Grammy’s. And although artistry is at the forefront of judging, fashion is and always will be as well. Very few cease to disappoint when it comes to Grammy red carpet looks, so taking history into account, there are a few ladies we can count on to hit the mark.

Known for following her own beat, I expect Rihanna to give us nothing less than shock value.

As my favorite look from country songstress Carrie Underwood (despite critics hating it), I’m hoping her feminine taste and risks are a huge hit.

Queen B. Classic, and timeless! Let’s hope she can break away from baby Blue Ivy to grace the red carpet and support her hubby on his Grammy nomination.
