☆. Versatility of Crotchet Braids.☆

As a natural I am always putting my hair in protective styles as I feel constantly styling my hair can be a pain and I just wanna put it awayyy!! As you guys probably know by now crotchet braids are my go-to hairstyle, when I have nothing else in mind to do (which seems to be all the time)..

I've always wanted to see what a bob type hairstyle would look on me so when I'd finally reach the point when I thought my crotchet braids were ready to be taken down I decided to cut them into a bob just to see what it would look like and here are the results!

☆.America Haul....Blazer Crazy.☆

So I didn't really do much shopping whilst I was in America simply because I didn't have enough time, but here are a few of the things I purchased and as you can tell I was a bit blazer crazy...

H&M

I saw these really cool metallic tops in H&M and at $5 I just had to get them, these tops would go great with jeans or tights for everyday or even a night out.....

Tell me you're not feeling this funkyness! $15

☆.Then Summer Came (part2)....Ankara Styles.☆

Then I went to America (Philadelphia) for my cousins wedding and also to stop over in Kansas to see my brother who lives in there.

Some pics from the wedding below:

☆.Then Summer Came (part1)...."Ciao Bello"☆

This summer was defo traveling season, firstly I went away to Italy with a few of my girls to join one of my closest friends as she celebrated her graduation in her hometown, Vicenza. She lives in Italy but came over to England for uni so we thought it'd be a great idea to have like a mini holiday with her as she always complains so yea...

Peep the video below of what went on whilst we where there:

☆.Press Forward - Testimony Time!.☆

Hey guys first of all I want to wish you all a happy Sunday, i've come to just encourage you out there whilst sharing this little testimony. I realise that there is so much that I don't share with you guys simply because I feel that no one will care but God has been speaking to me a lot lately and I pray this touches the person it is meant to touch. I also use this entry to vow to be more open with you guys as I realise the whole purpose of my blog is to shine the light that Jesus gave me so from this day on I make a change! :D

Background story:

So for the past couple of months I have been feeling very discouraged in life generally, as some of you may know I recently graduated from uni in July and since then I just felt like my life was not going in the direction that I'd wanted it to. I slowly noticed myself becoming less motivated and my whole personality changing. The thing with me is that I am very good at keeping things in (this is a major problem I deal with) so everyone around me assumes that I am ok when infact that is not the case as my walk with God began to crumble.. 

Now first of all let me say that I know this feeling was not completely of me as I had been experiences a lot of spiritual attacks prior to this (thats for another post :)) so I knew that prayer was key but I just didn't know how...

☆.D.I.Y Ankara Top & OOTN.☆

A couple of weeks ago I was let down by my tailor (as usual) who failed to produce an ankara dress for me, so I took it upon myself to sew something myself, a top. I only had around 6 hours to complete the top so I went with something simple that wouldn't take too much time to complete. I've never really had experience with sewing (apart from my textiles class in year 10 which I never paid attention in lol) so this was more an easy way to do it without any patterns.

Here's how I did it:

Step 1:

Trace around desired top twice for the front and back (I added length and sleeves to mine also).

☆.Protective Style of Last Month: Quick Miko Wig.☆

So I have recently become obsessed with buying wigs just because I see them as an easy go-to protective style on those days you feel like doing nothing to your hair.  My protective style for last month was the Miko wig.

The wig was purchased from paks for around £23 in colour T33B.

So I started with my braid pattern which was just a simple all back style (doesn't have to be neat)
