NYC Monthly

...according to The Fashion Issue of 'New York City Monthly'

I was given the book on fashion's night out.

At first glance it looked boring honestly because I thought there would be more pictures of fashion and upcoming trends. As I read deeper I noticed it was NYC!! I mean, almost everything (if not every single thing) about NY is packed into the 86 pages of this book. I was amazed.

I'm going to share with you what I've learned :) Don't say I never thought you anything lol

I mean, I was thinking about it for a while (since I took out the crochet braids) but never thought I would do it. Then one night, in the middle of Prison Break I just went for it. Just. Like. That. That was November 1st. Well, since then I've bin doing twist outs with my usual products (blue magic leave in, almond oil), but I just purchased a new twist out product from the 'As I Am' brand.
