LOVELY STRANGE THINGS.

I'm a lover of strange, unconventional yet lovely things. The stranger they are, the more beauty I see in them. These pieces make me swoon. Enjoy.

Miu Miu Candies.

TEXTURE

Sorry guys... I've been missing in action... So many responsibilities at the new job (more on that some time in the future). I've been wearing my hair natural for a while now especially since my scalp has low tolerance level for weaves or braids, it didn't make sense to get my hair done anymore. My hair doesn't even like been braided, what's it called? Weaving or cornrows. It hates being restrained in any form or fashion. Period! It's fraustrating spending tons of money getting your hair done only to take it out a week later, but my hair likes to be free to do its own thing, and when it isn't it makes my whole life uncomfortable!

Unrestrained, wild looking hair is totally unacceptable especially in my profession. The phrase 'fit and proper' from Law School as regards looking professional keeps ringing in my head especially now at my present job. My hair has resisted all my attempts at making it presentable and is constantly losing shape - a huge afro one day, a shrunken TWA the next. I really get weary and fraustrated at the constant care and pampering natural hair requires.I even considered re-locing my hair.

I've chopped off a few inches after my last Grace Jones look. I just can't seem to keep up with the way my hair grows and anyone who knows natural hair knows it grows sideways and never down, so you end up with this candy floss look.. Skinny at the bottom, big on top! I can't comb my curls without shea butter and a bit of VO5 conditioner in it. I recently discovered a secret ingredient for fabulously soft curly hair without the chemicals. (By the way can you believe someone suggested I do jheri curs and I considered it for all of two seconds... All that product and grease... Urgh! Visions of that scene in Coming to America).

Anywoo, I was going through the internet and I discovered these beauties with amazing to-die for natural kinks and curls... and all of a sudden I'm in-love with my hair again and committed once more to my hair journey. Nothing like a little inspiration to put things in perspective and make you look at the big picture of the future.

I love the hair I was born with. <3

PS: Blogger is getting on my last nerve! Forgive my haphazard alignment.

KANYE WEST PREMIERES CLOTHING LINE

Kanye West premieres his debut clothing line today, the 1st of October, 2011 at the Paris Fashion Week. His foray into fashion is the culmination of a long love affair with style. And like all love affairs, there are the good bits and the 'what were you thinking?' bits. Lol! Personally, he can do no wrong in my eyes and I'm liking the general idea of this collection.

Truthfully, I was expecting edgier pieces but I'm optimistic about better things to come from Mr West.

STYLE ICON - KANYE WEST

Kanye West’s style matches his persona- Bold, Daring and Controversial. Sometimes he says the wrong thing and wears the right thing… or vice-versa! Known for his rants and wild fashion sense, lets take a closer look at Kanye’s fashion eye... Which I happen to think is fab! ^_^

Going against conventional style and making it work. Converse on a tuxedo? Lav it!!

Fur, leather, snake, some power hi-tops: this is how to go from hip hop to haute in one blinding flash of an ensemble. One word: mega

This is West dressing down in denim jacket, white T-shirt and casual slacks at a Band Of Outsiders show during New York fashion week A/W 2009. But like a fashion pro, he's gone to town with his accessories: gold watch, fancy man bag, leather gloves



Some might say the red is a bit too much but West nailed it at the '10 VMA's

I love a man that knows his accessories.

Mr West is definitely a man not afraid to accessorise.

Wearing the preppy look and his heart out on the open!

At the Paris Fashion week.

Mr West is smoking hottt!!

Kanye West performed on stage at Wembley stadium in 2007 in what would become known as 'Shutter Shades' by Alain Mikli (or Venetian Blinders). Though slated at the time, these specs were everywhere after Yeezy wore them, and have since become entirely synonymous with the hip-hop-pop artiste turned fashionable gent.

One of my favorite celebrity artists, Isi-Aki salutes Mr West's style.
