Fierce Files: Smokey Eye

 I can't begin to tell you how much I love a smokey eye. I often sport this look when I'm having a night on the town. However, depending on the intensity of the colors it can be worn both night or day. I try my best to play with different hues and create a smoldering eye with brown, gold, pink or even green. I opted for green this time around, using my recently purchased E.L.F palette. Take a peek and see how it turned out.

I Got the Blues

There is just something about the sight of bright hues that makes my heart skip a beat.  With summers arrival, we can expect to see lots of bright colors being worn. More than usual this time around because of the much talked about trends such as color blocking and neon brights.  This electrifying cobalt blue top is just the pop of color I needed to turn this outfit from drab to fab.  The added accessories are just an added dazzle.  Stay Fierce!

A Natural Decision

 February 5, 2011 I dived head first into the natural hair world. After transitioning for six confusing months, I did away with the last of my relaxed ends and completed my big chop. Since my cut I have become….you’ve guessed it a product junky. Chances are if I’ve heard of a “great” hair product you can believe its now presently sitting under my bathroom sink. Don’t Judge. Although this habit is putting quite the dent in my wallet it has also proven itself to be beneficial in other ways. Testing  various hair products has allowed me to figure out what does and doesn't work for my natural tresses. Through my addiction I have been able to discover great staple products. Here are a just a few that have worked for me.

Its a Tribal thing

I absolutely adore these tribal print shorts I snagged from Kmart a few weeks back.  Yes honayyyy.  You heard right, Kmart.   I'll admit, I was a little hesistant in purchasing them when I first laid my eyes on them but to my surprise they turned out to be quite a steal.  What do you guys think?  Will you guys be following the tribal trend this season?
