New Youtube Video - on the "Accidental Big Chop Incident"

Accidental BIG CHOP!!!

Hello!

I can imagine the confusion that one may feel after reading the title of this post.... but yes.. I 'accidentally' performed the Big Chop on my natural hair!!! The best way to tell this story is in a fairytale format as they always end "happily ever after"....

Before the Big Chop

Once Upon A Time there was a Princess (hey I am a child of a KING after all ;)) who lived in the deep Southern part of the land of Pienmash.

On the 9th of April 2013 the Princess found that her natural tresses were being attacked by split end monsters and therefore needed to be vanquished with a quick trim.

In a particular section the Princess saw an area where the heat dragon had damaged her hair, so in a quick movement she snipped this section off "snip" then another section "snip, snip" before she knew it the front quarter of her hair had become significantly and unexpectedly shorter! (the Princess had been previously diagnosed with EdwardScissorHands Syndrome so she should not have been cutting hair unsupervised!)

"Oh well" she thought, "I may as well even it all out" ... However, she realised halfway through her hair cut that the result was a lot SHORTER than expected... my oh my did she scream!!

So here she is now, with a TWA (Teeny Weeny Afro) and thus she decides that she will have to commence her journey to get her afro back, healthier and longer than ever before and live happily ever after!!

The End

After the Accidental Big Chop

So.... that's my story!! Lol!! Although my BC was unintentional I am excited to start a new journey in getting to know my hair! This is the shortest that I have ever had my hair so it is quite an interesting experience.

As a result of my recent episode my blog will include more hair related posts, as well as the fashion posts and they will hopefully be a lot more consistent!

If you have any advice for individuals with TWA's please hook a sista up!! I have been walking around in a daze since yesterday lol!

Much love

BOW Fabulous!

Hello All!!

Hope everyone is A ok? (what does A-OK mean? I always hear it being said by a buff looking soldier in an action movie, but i never actually get what it means...Actually OK maybe?) Anywhoo, back to the post at hand...

A quick fix "quirk" maker to any outfit is the addition of a cute bow tie! These can be added to any outfit choice, whether formal or casual to add an extra quirky pazaaoooii!!

You can buy bow ties in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes in most stores, especially from online shops such as Ebay.

I am loving this monochrome, stripped bow-tie (below) for £14.99 from the online store www.ties2go.co.uk as it is bang on trend with spring 2013's stripped/monochrome theme. An instant trend setter! Let me know if you find any unique ones so that I can "Bow-row" it!! ;) HA!

Black and White, stripped bow tie - Get your trend on!

My sis and I are prone to wearing a bow tie or two, and we always try and mix it up... hopefully proving that even dressed modestly, you can add a lirraall bit of 'funkiness'!

Rock your bows and send me photos! :-)

Have a great day and spread the love!!!

Muchos Love

The Inception of All things Quirky...

So, after numerous blog fails I have decided to put my foot down and say no more blog hopping! I am a grown 'twenty-something-year-old' so I think it is about time that I learnt how to commit to something other than developing creative arguments to justify giving in to my sweet tooth cravings... *and exhale* ... so here it goes...

Through my petite blog I plan to share my passion for modest fashion. As a Christian and a member of an Apostolic church, dressing modestly is of fundamental importance to me. Modesty may sometimes be associated with the words 'dull', 'drab' and unfashionable, but I hope to change that perception by demonstrating that modest fashion CAN be fashionable and a lirral funky! You CAN express yourself through your clothing and still look modest doing it!

I will also be posting posts on natural hairstyles and DIY ideas (as well as any DIY fails!) and a lot of other random stuff!

Please feel free to join me on this journey and if you have any style ideas please feel free to share!

I guess this is it... *fingers crossed* it will last more than a day!

Much Love
