Diary of a Blogger | Long Hair, Don't Care

I did this Trend Alert | Long hair, don't care post a while ago (Click here) & (Here) featuring my girl Chrissy from Love & Hip Hop NY and if you know me well you know that I am a female who loves her weaves.

I am inspired on these different hair tutorial blogs and you tube sites that have some of the baddest weaves ever and I am one to try each and every weave that will make me happy. I am usually the Chinese bang  type of female but now I see myself switching up my hair styles to some styles such as: a U-part weave, part down the middle (Kim Kardashian looks), swoop weave and a good ol' pony tail (pictured above).

Be sure to check back because I see a good pony tail coming soon just like this one and please believe that it will be at least 20' -30'  inches.. or even longer.

Diary of a Blogger | I'm Having a GOOD Hair Day

Please excuse my facial expression. the sun was in my eyes prior to taking this photo

Tammy's Confessions: I am OBSESSED with You Tube hair blogs. I find myself on You Tube for hours everyday looking at some of my FAV hair guru's who can do wonders on the hair.  My favorite(s) right now are: Tiarra Monet, EvesChild848, FabulasityisMe and Morgan Taylor to name a few.

Pictures above is my Kim Kardashian inspired hair with my BIG curls, which are giving me life right now. This is a quick weave that I was able to put in myself with some leave out at the top (I don't do lace-fronts), and I took my 2' inch curling iron and curling wand to master this FAB curls you see right now ( A total of 25 minutes to curl and master this look)

Another inspiration/ helpful tip to help me master this look was this video from Tiarra Monet on how to perfect the right curls to bring my inspired Kardashian curls to life. check video Below:

   

If you follow me on Instagram (Drakes_Right_hand) you would know that I was/ am feeling myself the day I posted this video/ pictures of my good hair day.

Monday's Blues | Danielle Michetti Elaphe & Calf Patch Sandals

According to Style.com any shade of BLUE is the color this FALL season and by looking at this shoe I am so in LOVE. I don't know how I came across these cute babies BUT I'm glad I did.  

Listen... These shoes may NOT be in my budget right now BUT a girl can "Window Shop", well in my case  Internet shop because with a hefty price $1,169 (YES Ladies). These will just be a pair of FAB shoes to look out until ShoeMint or ShoeDazzle twirls their want and make up and/or revamp these bad boys for under $70, lol
