Breakfast, Blazers & Boots: Fall Fashion in Harlem

It took me about two full weeks to come to grips with the fact that fall was here… I did NOT wanna let go of summer! October 3rd was probably the first day I actually accepted the change and donned an entire outfit of ‘official’ fall wear, complete with a heavy-ish blazer and riding boots. It’s really, like… an autumn uniform. I trekked over to Harlem’s Lenox Coffee to chat with Ijeoma of Klassy Kinks and did a little tablet photo shoot afterwards… what happens when you leave the SD card for your DSLR at home! We had an awesome time! Here’s the usie to prove it. 🙂 Loading …and that’s a wrap! Was so nice chattin w/ the #bloggerboo @klassykinks! It’s such a BEAUTIFUL day out y’all! Not sure I’m ready to go home yet. ENJOY! #naturalhairblogger #klassykinks #ToBNatural #EMBRACEmag #bloggers View on Instagram   I said it before…

Natural Fashionista: Chioma

Bright, bold colors. Simple style. Easy, breezy hair. These are the things that attracted me to our September Natural Fashionista, Chioma. Yet another social media find, she is truly making waves in the blogosphere with her “rock what you got” approach to fashion: re-styling pieces to create new, fresh looks. Say hello! Hi Loves! My name is Chioma Brown and I write the Kentucky based personal style blog, Chioma’s Evolution of Style! How long have you been wearing your hair in its natural state and what made you decide to take that step? I’ve been natural 3.5 years. Relaxers were beginning to really damage my hair and irritate my scalp so my then hair stylist actually told me she would never apply another relaxer on me because she loved me and was worried about my hair. That’s so rare, and I love her for doing that for me because it…

Fashion Friday: Candy Stripes ‘n’ Kicks

Matinée movie date with the hubs… work immediately afterwards. I finally dug my Pro-Keds out from under the bed a couple weeks ago. I had been rocking my very serious, good-for-your-feet running sneakers at work (lots of standing and walking involved in my job) but I thought it was about time I break out the fun kicks. Scored these puppies at the no longer existing Daffy’s department store some years back. Of course, that isn’t what I went for but I couldn’t pass up the deal, especially since they were the last pair in the store and in my size. They were waiting for me! 😉 Fast forward a few years and I find myself in Target picking up some basic tees and wuddyaknow?! They’ve got a tee to match my sneaks! Tuh-HA! All ya need is a good pair of jeans and BOO-YA! Outfit done. p.s. Guardians of the…

Natural Fashionista: Simeko

You may already recognize our “resident” hair care pro from our Ask the Pro series here on the blog. Or you may have seen her work around the web and in magazines. What you may not know is that this natural hair pro is just as fierce in fashion as she is in beautifying the manes of many. We met some years back through a mutual friend and discovered that we shared a passion for natural hair and hair care education. We’ve been supporting the endeavors of one another ever since. ♥ Say hello… Hey Blooming Naturals!  My name is Simeko and I’m owner of Meko, New York Natural Hair Care Spa & Boutique located in Orange, NJ.  I was born & raised in Harlem, NY but now I’m a Jersey Gal (although Harlem still runs through my veins). How long have you been wearing your hair in its natural state?…
