Throwback~ Past Halloweens

Image
Happy Halloween everyone. This year I would not be getting into character, so here are a few looks I wore over the past years. Top left to bottom right Tiger face- 2012 I didn't even go anywhere, I was just in the mood to play dress up. My little cousins loved it! Pirate- 2010 I went to a boat ride with my cousin (pictured) and friends. It was silly. The boat was over crowded and didn't even move lol I didn't know what I was  (bottom left)- 2006? The fit just came together last minute and I went with it. First Halloween boat ride and it was fun with my cousin (pictured) rip. Base Baller- 2011 My 2nd time wear that costume. I went to a party at my neighborhood club lol Be safe every one Blessings J

Hair Talk

Image
 I have bin paying more attention to my hair since the crochet braids take down. To say the least, my hair was brittle and dry (the colored ends) post crochet :/ I also lost a bit of hair during the de- tangling process. My hair is not in good shape. I swear not to braid or weave my hair for at least a year, moisturize more and incorporate more protective styles into my hair regimen. This week I did a twist out, much smaller than usual. I made sure my hair was damp, added my Blue Magic leave in, jojoba oil and some Eco Styler Gel (to the roots) and twisted. Loved it!  The take-down was easy breezy the next day and looked better than I expected. In a couple weeks I might revisit one of my old protective styles. I have a new look coming soon ;) ;) Blessings J

Harem

I think this style of pants if called Harem right? Hope I am lol Anyway... Wore this fit to a Birthday gathering last night. Tank and Pants from Danice (bin wanting to wear this combo for awhile) Flats from Pay Half (very recent. Like 2 days ago recent. It was on sale too) and Jacket from H&M. My hair was a twist out (done smaller than usual...Love it!). Oh bag from F21 I have a hair update coming soon. My hair suffered from the crochet braids :( I lost thickness/body/fullness, so I'm in the process of pampering my hair.  Blessings J

Shopping around Atlantic Mall with my cuz. Felt extra special when someone stopped me to take a picture of my outfit to put on her Blog!! (not these pics lol) I can't find the Blog though. She told me ' mama and beyond', ever heard of it? I'll keep looking Got my Tee from F21, leggings from Danice, jacket (last year) Necessary Clothing and Chucks I cut the hair too, did you notice?

I broke out my Fall appropriate lippie and another black and brown outfit to see 'The Butler' this past Friday. I need someone to come shopping with me to stop me from buying black, brown, and black n white clothing. Help me keep bright color alive!! lol Finally got a change to wear this jacket from h&m, top gifted, ribbed leggings from pretty girl and last year's  booties from Tempo. My lippie is Milani 'blackcherry', very matte and sticky so I always wear a gloss or balm before I apply. Keep an eye out for my 'get ready with me' video  for this look on my YT channel: trinibkbabe Have a great week! Blessings J

I wore this today to run some errands. My day didn't go as I planned, hence the sulk, whomp!! Brighter days are ahead :D Well, I did like my outfit! I wore this cardigan I bought from a lady on my job. She sells different things on the side, here and there. Cross body from F21 (super cute stuff in stores now!), very old jeggings and sneaker wedges from Rainbow (are these still IN?). I wore a simple fatigue sweater under the cardigan.
