Hello beautiful people! Keeping this one short ‘n’ sweet today. Solange absolutely KILT it at MOMA’s The Great Gatsby screening yesterday in this striped Jill Stuart dress straight from the Fall 2013 runway show! On the feet: red satin Burberry Prorsum wedges. *swoon* She tops it off with a perfectly coiffed fro to seal the deal. Sooooo, basically what I’m saying is… WEEERRRRRRKK!!! *two snaps in a circle* Head-to-toe, she’s giving me all types of life… and that’s all I have to say about that! LOL Until next time y’all! xoxo ~ Toia
Last Saturday, Scarlett Rocourt, creator of Wonder Curl, launched two new products to add to her amazing collection of hair care goodies at Meko New York Natural hair Care Spa in Orange, NJ. Say hello to the Detoxifying Clay Cleanser and Restoring Hair Treatment. With the assistance of hair care professional and Meko New York owner Simeko Watkins-Hartley, Scarlett showed us how the Clay works to cleanse the hair and scalp of impurities, detangles and conditions the hair all at once. The Restoring Hair Treatment contains shea butter, avocado butter, EVOO, tamanu oil and hair vitamins which penetrate the hair to strengthen from within to help revitalize dry kinks and curls. While we waited to see the results of these new products, we chatted, sipped on a few drinks and nibbled on these tasty cupcakes from Frostin Bake Company. YUMMERS! Naturalistas from all around came to show their love and support for Wonder…
Teyonah Parris hits the red carpet with another fierce updo at the Mad Men Season 6 Premiere in L.A. Y’all know I just loooooovvve a huge bun almost as much as I love an obnoxiously large pompadour and this style right here seems to be doing double-duty. Like her S.A.G. Awards ‘do, Teyonah has caused quite the commotion (in a good way!) with this DaRico Jackson creation. The hair tops off the perfect silhouette created by this amazing high-neck, body-hugging dress by J. Loren. With gold detail and see-thru side paneling, this dress is saying “HERE. I. AM!” There’s a lot to be said about a woman (or quite possibly her stylist) who knows what shapes are flattering to her body. I have yet to see Teyonah miss a beat. Hitting a few inches below the knee, the dress is just the right length to be rounded out by these…
Dark & Lovely has a NEW product line specially formulated for us natural gals and they brought it to NYC in style with a “Curl Power” celebration on February 20th (this post is SUPER late!) hosted by the lovely Curly Nikki! Follow me… Ok, so the festivities were set to begin at 6:30 pm and my little sister and I arrived at Arena around 5:45 pm. There were maybe… 30-35 chicas on line, not bad. We could clearly see the door from our spot so we were cool! The line started moving pretty quickly with security letting in a few at a time at a regular pace. After signing the waiver about photography/videography etc., we went in and were led to the private karaoke room downstairs to check our coats and wait to go up to the main event at showtime. Some of the curlies did the karaoke thing LOL!…
The natural hair community came to a screeching halt as social media was flooded with photos of this amazing red carpet look created by none other than the talented Felicia Leatherwood, natural hair stylist to the stars! I know you’re probably thinking, “Wow, girl you late!” But you’d be wrong LOL! Trust. I’ve been all over this since the very night Miss Parris walked that fancy coif down the red carpet of the 2013 SAG Awards. Still, I couldn’t let another week go by without an honorable mention on the blog! First, let’s REALLY give it up for celeb stylist Felicia Leatherwood who created this magnificence! *applause* Elegance? Check. Wow factor? Check. And don’t we just LOVE seeing our natural celeb sistas flaunting their coils and curls for the world to see? It was a beautiful thing. Not since Viola Davis at the Oscars did we cause such a stir!…
