You may remember this lovely from my Top 10 Natural Fashionista Moments of 2014. When I talk about “blogger boos”, know that she’s one of ’em! As a fellow natural hair enthusiast and New Yorker, we hobnob at just about all the same events and some even think we’re sisters (do we look THAT much alike?!). She’s super smart and her blog, Klassy Kinks, is simply amazing. Let’s meet her! Hey folks I’m Ijeoma! I was born in Nigeria, raised in New Jersey and I now live in NYC where I’m a graduate student, health educator, and hair blogger. Still trying to figure out how everything fits together! How long have you been wearing your hair in its natural state and what made you take that step? I’ve been wearing my hair natural since May 2010, when I big chopped after a year’s transition in college. What started as a few…

Reliving the final days of summer 2014… For the Edwing D’Angelo NYFW Spring 2015 show this past September, I went with basics topped off with gold accessories and a fab marley twist updo. Wanna know how to do this hairstyle? Check out style number six in this tutorial. Shoutout to vlogger Kala Garner of The KG Lifestyle for snappin’ these pics for a sista! Later gators! xoxo Toia B.

Man, 2014 sure did fly by! Over the course of the year, I managed to find so many fashionable naturals via Instagram and had the privilege of featuring some of them here. I look forward to introducing you all to more of these fab ladies in the year to come. In the meantime, check out my top picks of 2014. @CelenaLynnGill by Danielle Finney I thoroughly appreciated photographer and friend Danielle Finney tagging me on this and a couple other photos from her session with Celena Lynn Gill! Not only is her hair magical but this Ankara dress is FIRE! Get a closer look at this fabulousness and the rest of her shoot here!

On an unseasonably warm November day, I made my way over to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade to help shoot some footage with Natasha of Mane Moves TV and Brooklyn Independent Media (deets on that to come). Of course, I had to represent for the BK! Here’s what I did… This leather/faux leather combo jacket was one of many gems I walked away with from an event organized by super stylish thrifter Afroista at Buy the Bag. Won it in a contest. Wooot! Hat: H&M (similar) | Scarf: H&M (love this!) | Jacket: (Thrifted) Bebe | Shirt: Old, Gap (very close) | Jeans: Old Navy | Boots: Target (pretty close) At about fourteen weeks pregnant, I was tired and beginning to… expand (LOL)! I needed to do something easy, comfortable and cute. Thank goodness those stretchy jeans still fit! Nothing is simpler that denim separates and riding boots. Hubby’s stylish fedora (which…

Happy Sunday! Yes, it’s been a minute since we’ve featured a super stylish natural here on the blog (my bad… all this baby stuff has me all over the place!). But you’ll be happy to know that today, we’re featuring not just one gal but a whole group of women with fabulous style. So let’s ignore the fact that it’s actually December and welcome our November Natural Fashionistas, the ladies of KD Kulture! Representing the crew are sisters Kiirstin and Danica… let’s get to know ’em, shall we?! My name is Kiirstin Hill and I am the oldest of the three sisters. We started KD Kulture blog along with our mother, Kristi, out of a love of fashion and our dedication to uplifting and empowering women. I am also a wife, mother of four, and a self admitted shopaholic and budgetnista. Hi everyone! My name is Danica. I’m one of…
