The Big Chop

I recently chopped off my hair, like i literally woke up by 2am grabbed a pair of scissors and chopped it off. My mum almost cried when she woke up in the morning and saw the damage.  I've been wanting to cut it for year but i didn't have the courage to and to be honest i was worried that people would no longer find me attractive. So anyway i chopped it off and then went to the salon the next day to have it 'neatened' up.

Skater Dress- Chechi Arinze

Crotchet waistcoat - Collctibles

Belt - Can't Remember

Shoes - Qupid

Manicure - Wow (@ The Palms)

The initial reaction wasn't exactly positive i must confess. I got a lot of "Why did You cut your hair, what's the matter!!!", "it makes you look 'somehow' " and the worst "are you sure u'll find a husband this". laaal. Nigerians have no chill whatsoever!
Anyway it appears with the hair came a new attitude because for some reason i really couldn't be bothered about other peoples opinions. I love my new hair, i think it reflects my personality and other than the fact that people tend to stare a bit more than usual i really havnt noticed any differences in the way people treat me.

It's so funny 3weeks on, people now walk up to me to say they love my haircut and want to know where i had it done.

I'm not Sure how long this phase will last but i'm loving so far. Only downside is i think it makes me look even younger, what do you think guys am i just being paranoid?

                                                                     This Morning

Had a lot of cleaning to do , so i put on my fave white shirt and my denim cutoffs. Covered my hair turban style because of the dust. My mum spent the whole morning giving me the 'side-eye'. lol

LATER 

Well as much as i was loving the sexy housewife look, those cut offs are pretty tight and 'camel toe' inducing so i decided to change. and i stumbled on the perfect jammie pants! My brother's ankara bottoms! theyr comfy, roomy plus they have pockets! the beautiful part is i think one size fits all. i actually made these pants for him a while ago had no idea they'd come in so handy. Dont even want to imagine what he'l do to me when he gets back....lol. My top also belonged to him once upon a time till i revamped it :D

Hair Affair

Hi guys! so i've been thinking of changing my hairstyle to something a bit more african and natural. I though of growing a fro, but since i'm more of a rocker/gothic chic i'm sure i'd get tired of it.

Anyway i did these really cool braids last year that eveyone seemed to like and i came across a picture of solange knowles with a similar hairstyle, only hers is waaaay longer than mine was. I'm thinking i could totally rock this look, it's urban african, it's versatile and most of all it's really long :). so.......... Yay? or Nay?

I'm off for the Launch of the new MAJU l'amour collection @ Ember Creek! More deets and Pictures Later
