So I am totally in love with the new natural hair style: Box Braids! It has become very popular lately due to singer and whatever else Solange Knowles. Though popular lately, this style has been around for years. I will be attempting to do this style tonight. I not a braider so I've been on youtube looking at tutorials, so hopefully it will come out looking as good these ladies do! What is your favorite protective style?

Brace yourselves ladies, because Sigma is coming out with a new line of brushes. This collection will be called The Cities and this is Sigma Beauty’s special edition travel kit collection! The kits feature seven travel-sized brushes from their best selling Essential and Premium Kits (E05 Eyeliner, E35 Tapered Blending, E45 Small Tapered Blending, E60 Large Shader, F05 Small Contour, F15 Duo Fibre, and F30 Large Powder). 


The brushes are held in a super cute travel-size container that turns into two brush holders to keep the brushes organized. This is a huge plus it allows for us to keep our brushes organized while traveling and ready to be used! 


This collection contains four kits which are named after four different cities: London (brown), Tokyo (pink), Paris (red) and New York (black).


I am super excited for this line as I am looking to expand my brush collection. These would also make great gifts for this holiday season. 


Sigma will be launching The Cities Collection on November 21, 2011, so be sure to stop by their  
website and check it out. I'll leave the link bellow. Have a great day my loves.

So he popped the question..FINALLY!!!! lol After 4 wonderful years together and a beautiful baby girl later, my boyfriend (now fiance) has asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. I think that like many other girls I have been waiting for this all of my life. Don't we all want to find our Prince Charming? Well I believe I have found mine.

Now comes the hard part. Planning the wedding. We want to do it next summer. I have always been a d.i.y type of gal and it would be no different when it comes to my wedding, but this is proving to be a very difficult task. I had no idea of where to even begin. So my mom and I went to Barn's & Noble and I got a wedding planner binder, which so far has been a huge help in helping me start this process. So here is the color scheme I have chosen:


Isn't it beautiful????? I just love this color combination. It is not a very usual one but it's just me. It embodies happiness and summer in my opinion. I just loved this bouquet as well : )

So right now I am gathering ideas for how I want to do my invitations and all other stationary (which I will be designing myself with the help pf photoshop). And I am also starting to look for venues and possible ceremonial sites. This is A LOT OF WORK!!!! If we could afford I would hire a wedding planner but I got this.

So I will try to update you all on this journey that I will be embarking on. There will be lots of d.i.y happening for this wedding and I will post them as they get finished.

WISH ME LUCK!!!!

Basically my whole outfit is from Dots, except the blazer which was thrifted and the necklace which was also from a thrift store. Oh and I have fallen in love with M.A.C lipsticks this one is Pink Nouveau : )
