I have no idea what this weather is up to, but I am NOT amused. Back in March, I was excited about the prospect of a warm New York spring that would lead to an early summer, but here we are in May, and I am anything but satisfied! My time in Barbados doesn’t help one bit, but prior to vacating, the city was giving us 70 degrees — is my expectation for something above 60 degrees not realistic?!
Anyway, my entitlement issues aside, on one mild day I decided to don this frock. ((No. The leopard obsession will never end). I was hanging out with le bro Cleon when he snapped these (THANKS BABES!). The dress is vintage and the jacket is a reworked vintage Levi’s concoction. The tights are by HUE, and the boots are Deena&Ozzy. Not sure if you noticed before, but the hair is back to black, and I am quiiite into it. Not sure why I ever left… maybe it’s that whole 80/20, grass is greener theory… *shrug*. The lighter color was fun and all, and I believe it was what I needed at the time, but black just always feels fresh to me. Doubt I’ll be diverting from it again.
I’ve also been doing a looser curl since Barbados. I’ve discovered two different ways of going about this. The quickest is to semi-blow dry after washing so that the hair stretches in length a bit, then using conditioner to twist hair in a bunch of twist/cornrow/flat twist thingys (you know wht I mean, right?). In my case, I end up with about 6 of them: 3 in back half, 1 on each side of top half of crown, then 1 in center. (No seriously… am I making sense?? Lol). By the time this air-dries it sets into more of a loose wave. If my hair is already in a tighter curl, I just [lightly] spray detangler or foam shampoo, brush it out a bit, then twist. Pretty simple. I dig the movement it allows… not quite sure how the city’s humidity will treat it once summer hits tho. Heh…

The booties are delicious! And the hair, my dear, is bangin’. Ever try throwing some sponge rolleres on the ends of your twist-thingys??? I do it all the time and love it.
I love the looser curls! And the black hair colour looks amazing on you, it makes your skin pop more (if that makes any sense).
The levi’s jacket mash up is pretty amazing. I’ve gotta say too, the bold lip color juxta black waves is smashing.
Thanks for the quick hair tip, and you look stunning as usual.
Great pics…..love the leopard!
