Beautiful Winter

This year has flown by so quickly, can you believe its July already. It dawned on me that soon it will be Summer, the weather will be unbearably hot and the nights will be mosquito infested. I want to really enjoy what is left of Winter - the chill in the air won't be there for much longer. Soon layering will be a thing of the past, sleeping in will be close to impossible. No more complaining about the about the cold; instead I will layer and  keep the red cappuccinos close by.

About my hair

I attempted the high afro puff - I think I just managed a puff. Because of the very coarse texture of my 4c hair I couldn't get the puff to be as high as I wanted. I have been keeping my hair moisturized with deep conditioning treatments every two weeks, for locking in the moisture I use sheer butter and black castor oil. I have done minimal protective styling during this winter - my hair doesn't respond well to weeks upon weeks of braids.

Checked out

This dress is perfection. When I saw it I had to have it. I panicked a little when I realized that it is backless. Backless is cute, but lets be honest its not practical. I was concerned about support for the girls, I decided to buy the dress and deal with the back issues later - not an advisable shopping strategy by the way. I really didn't want my bra showing at the back, so I had the idea to wear a backless one piece bikini underneath. Bikini support is not great but it had to do.

Happy Spring!

We are finally getting warm weather in Jo'burg. I hope its here to stay. 

I wore this wonderfully printed mini dress on Saturday for a picnic- not the best choice because it was so hard to sit down without flashing everyone. But on the bright side I looked ready for Summer in the bright orange print.
