Throwin' Shade

We know you guys probably feel a sense of resentment right now and we thoroughly apologise but we have been on a break.
We're back up and running and have a lot of pictures to share from our holiday as well as revealing more new projects and just being fabulous in the clothes we adorn.
Speaking of fabulous, what could be more fabulous throwing on a pair of joggers?..But wait, not just any joggers but a jogger skirt?!
I can say I have found the new thing to joggers/tracksuit bottoms. Now usually I don't do the whole Sports Luxe look but once I saw this skirt it just screamed 'comfortable' and you guys know me well enough now to know I love fashion that is comfortable.
I decided to team it with some trainers and a long sleeved turtle neck top just to make it look a little more sophisticated..something I would wear on a Date Night with bae..If I had one *sighs*
Unfortunately, I am not a sneakerhead and purchased these trainers years ago on holiday and can't give you the exact name. All I know is they are Nike?
Hopeless, hopeless T!
That's all for me lovelies and just before you go I'd love your opinion on whether it's a good idea to wear the skirt with tights. If you styled this skirt with tights, I'd love to see a pic and might even feature it on our instagram!

Curly Weave 101


Hey Beautiful People!

It's T here, with a quick update on my many different hairstyles which I think this one is definitely going to be a keeper as I have been getting soo many compliments about it. I've even had people assume its my real hair and personally I think that is the best compliment you can get whilst having a weave in because it shows the blending is flawless.

Now usually, I don't buy hair online and as I once had a bad experience with a very well known company which after a good chat with some other bloggers and fellow consumers, I decided not to name and shame as the situation was resolved. However, it still has scarred me in a way as I am quite apprehensive in purchasing not only from small companies and boutiques but any in general.

Nevertheless, I came across CapelliAmore on Instagram and was immediately in love with a post of  ANTM Raelia Lewis flashing their Indian range. I managed to purchase four bundles (two for me and two for another relative) and it came very quickly. I might also add it was wrapped beautifully and also came with some Hair Care tips.

This is what the hair looks like once brushed out: 

Once washed and shampooed and conditioned, the hair has a lot of elasticity and curls bounce back as soon as you add water


I used TreSemme's Naturals range which are quite mild as they have lower sulphates levels than other shampoos and the conditioner was amazing!


Once installed, to blend my own hair by flat ironing my hair on low heat as it didn't need to be bone straight and put in rollers.




The hair has a lot of volume in it as you can see and I definitely could pass it on as my own hair. Before I installed it as a weave, I actually used the hair for a curly ponytail for a while as you can see in my previous posts. So I recommend this hair for those who want to go for a more natural look and want to ease off on the flat ironing and blow drying. I have joined the bandwagon and started my Hairfinity journey as my hair is all weaved up which after my one month's supply, I will be posting about.

So how do I maintain the curls?

  • Tangle Teezer - I recently purchased the Original Detangling HairBrush and the Aqua Splash Detangling HairBrush from FeelUnique . The original I use for dry hair and the Aqua Splash for when I am washing my hair or I feel the hair has gotten a little too bushy so I would use a spray bottle with water to loosen the curls and detangle.
  • Creme of Nature Argan Oil to give hair moisture
That's it folks! 

If you need hair, I recommend CapelliAmore !!

Until next time xx
