whenever my hair starts driving me a little nuts or i want a different look i wrap the madness up in a head scarf or bandana. years ago i wore a lot of head wraps, but these days it’s more of just the usual wrap it around the front, tie it in the back variety. but this spring my plan is to buy some beautifully colored scarves and try different wrapping techniques. here a few of my fave styles.
rock it like a 60s turban style hat. via a beautiful mess.

it’s everywhere! laser cut jewelry has been very popular over the past few years and it comes in a variety of materials: acrylic, wood, felt, leather… last year i featured rachel stewart‘s laser cut jewelry that included afro picks and cassette tapes and since then i’ve come across so many other designers with beautiful and unique pieces. moonc is my most recent find. these lithuanian designers create jewelry inspired by nature, history and architecture.

in 2011 (i know, i know, it was just days ago…) chevron was absolutely everyfreakinwhere. and personally, i’m just sick and tired of seeing it.
the zig zag print has been shown on everything imaginable: clothing, walls, shoes, shower curtains, dinnerware (although these plates are rather cute), furniture… i mean, really, it’s just become too much. it’s taking over birthday invitations, nurseries, bedding, jewelry. it has even seeped onto blog and website backgrounds and banners!! and i bet any amount of money that some fool out there got a daggone chevron tat in 2011. i just know they did.
i can’t remember the last time one simple pattern just took over our society. it’s insanity. please make it stop. kill the chevron.
i guess it could be worse. can you just imagine a paisley obsession?
oh goodness…
i luv a funky piece of jewelry so i’m definitely diggin’ the necklace selection at anthropologie.

he’s with you, so he must dig your style, right? hmmmm…maybe.
at the core of it all, my style is generally the same, but you know how it is, we dress for our moods, where we’re going, who we’re seeing. what we wear to visit grandma isn’t always the same thing we wear to have drinks at happy hour with the girls.
and maybe, just maybe, the man prefers the visit to grandma’s look better.
does ever your man ever make subtle comments about what you wear? maybe that skirt’s a little too short for his taste and he suggests a longer one, the shirt’s cut a little too low and he’s throwing a turtleneck your way…in the summer. jeans are a little too tight and he’s making comments about how he doesn’t want other dudes looking at his [insert his favorite butt term here ].
well, you can best believe if he’s got you running into the closet to find something that’s more suitable to his taste now, once you’ve gone from girlfriend to wife, it’s gonna get deeper.
but maybe it’s not even about the length of your skirt or that the twins are peeking out too much. maybe your hair is natural and he’d like to see you a little more…smoothed out. or vice versa. maybe he’d like for you to give up the weave and get twists.
maybe you like hitting up thrift stores and vintage shops more these days, but he’s not gettin’ it and has a totally different idea of how he’d like you to look. you know, a little less solange and a lot more beyonce.
so if he’s all up in your style now, that’s just another thing to think about before jumpin’ the broom!
