What I wore: Shop my NYFW Fall 2019 Looks

February 19, 2019

It is hard to believe New York Fashion Week Fall 2019 has come and gone but it has. It is always a joyous occasion attending shows, connecting with brands and meeting up with blogger friends. Fashion week this year was very short for me. I was only there for 3 days but managed to capture a few shoots of my looks while I was there. If you like them as much I do, shop the looks below.

It’s Friday, from the pandemic spike here in Houston to now African dust covering the city, I think it’s safe to say I’ll be home Netflix and chilling this weekend? What are you watching on Netflix? I’m running out of shows. .

Let’s talk hair. Mine has been on a journey of its own. I wore my natural hair up until middle school when I was introduced to microwave ponytails. I use to have my moms kitchen smelling like mildew when I left the hair in the microwave too long . (I know this is weird to some but many people know what I’m talking about). —

When I got to college, I started wearing sew-ins and did so for a very long time. For me, they were very convenient and depending on who you ask, they help your hair grow and is considered a protective style. After undergrad I was introduced to wigs, thanks @thesocialbutterfly_aj ,and they changed my hair game forever !!! No longer did I have to sit in the salon for hours for a sew in. I simply washed my hair got it braided up and through on a wig.
____

Then I went to braids, another game changer thanks @braid3dbydesign and @stylesbymrsyo. They literally require little maintenance and you can keep them in a few months if you keep them clean and maintained. For a while I had been wanting to do something different with my hair. I was natural for over 10 years but never wore it out because I didn’t really know how to style it, or maybe I was just lazy.
_____

In January, I decided to cut and relax my hair. I was super nervous at first but @ashjotaylor put me at ease with her talented hands. Fast forward to March, salons shut down due to Covid. Though I was working from home, I had many Zoom calls and didn’t want to look crazy. I decided to take matters into my own hands and relax my own hair. That was a big mistake, I am unsure if I used old product or I kept it in too long but my hair started coming out immediately. I had to cut what was left of it off and now I am working to get it to grow again. I don’t think I’ll relax it again but I’m also not against relaxer.

I’ve learned a few things through this hair process:

1️⃣ Go to a licensed professional if you can.
2️⃣Your diet plays a huge role in maintaining heathy hair.
3️⃣Protective styles are great if you don’t know how or what to do with your hair.
4️⃣Take your vitamins, they also are beneficial to maintaining healthy hair.

To be young, gifted and black
Oh, what a lovely precious dream
To be young, gifted and black
Open your heart to what I mean

There are a million boys and girls
Who are young, gifted and black
And that's a fact! ~ Nina Simone #HAPPYJUNETEENTH
