Ok so last week I told you all about me coloring and few hair pieces to switch up my look for fall. I dyed black peruvian human hair with Clairol Professional Classic Collection dye in 6N which is dark neutral blonde. Many people felt swindled because they thought I was going totally blonde. Honestly I had no idea that the dark neutral blonde on dark brown hair would make the hair sandy brown. Although I knew I wasn’t bleaching my hair I didn’t know what to expect. I also told you that I would be making my own hair extensions! If you don’t remember, click here. Well why the dyeing process was so easy and effortless the clip-ins were not! The gurus on YouTube make it seem like it was totally simple, but apparently I did not have the proper hair weaving needle :(, but because I’m resourceful and savvy, I made it work!

So check out how I styled my new hair and new look!

Perfect sporty chic outfit!

I went sporty chic with my Phillip Lim for Target BOOM Sweatshirt and my leather leggings from H&M. I carried new favorite bag from the Phillip Lim for Target collection and brought the look together with a pair of shoes that I’ve had for the last three or four years from Payless, yes don’t sleep on Payless and their shoes last.

I’m amazed at how great the color looks first because I did it myself, and second because it matches exactly to  my natural hair color. As I’ve stated in previous hair posts, my hair currently has three textures, most of my hair is relaxed, a portion of my hair is texlaxed, and then there is my new growth. My hair also has three different colors and for the Clairol Professional Classic Collection to be so versatile that it matched all three of my hair shades I’m simply blown away.

This picture captures the color so beautifully!

Remember the collection offers 16 different shades and because it is easy to use I’m sure you won’t have a problem finding the right color to fit your style needs. The process of coloring took about 10 minutes for the mixture and application and 45-minutes to process without heat. I love my new look and it’s just in time for my birthday too! How exciting is that!

I’m back with another “What I Wore” and I’m happy to say that spring has finally sprung! Well temporarily at least, we are back in to the 50s later this week *boooo* but the weather has been pretty nice lately.

For this look I went for something modern for the work place. I paired a light weight spring sweater with a blue and yellow brocade print pencil skirt and nude pumps. It is modern with the prints, but work appropriate because of the classic nude pumps as well as the loose fitting top.

When it comes to pairing items with a pencil skirt, you do not to go with something extremely fitted because the pencil skirt is fitted. If you are going to wear a fitted top, I would pair it with a sweater or blazer to add dimension to your look. That’s only if you work in a conservative setting. If not, by all means where what makes you the most comfortable. So to offset the skirt slim fitting skirt I paired it with a light weight sweater with a “blousy” feel.

Take a closer look!

Beyonce has been under a lot of fire lately because of her latest single “Bow Down/I Been On” but that has not stopped her hustle! H&M just released one of the first images of their collaboration with Beyonce for their Summer 2013 Campaign.

According to Vogue the pieces are inspired by Beyonce’s individual style. Beyonce gave her input from a design aspect as well. The advertisements come just in time for Beyonce’s World Tour. The campaign’s theme is “Beyonce as Mrs. Carter in H&M.”

Beyonce states “I’ve always liked H&M’s focus on fun affordable fashion. I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements – fire, water, earth and wind. It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island. It felt more like making a video than a commercial.”

The campaign features swimwear and beachwear pieces – including a bikini from the H&M for Water collection, which raises money for WaterAid according to Vogue.

We will aslo get new music from this campaign! They shot a television commercial which will feature one of Bey’s new songs, hopefully off of her new album, called “Standing On The Sun” which will probably be the song of the summer!

I will definitely be on the lookout for the official lookbook. You guys know I STAN for Beyonce!

About 3 weeks ago I debuted my faux leather skater from Asos and I have been in love with that skirt since the day it arrived. Well today this love affair continues with a faux leather pencil skirt that I purchased from jc penney. I first wore this skirt on my birthday with a royal blue top and silver collar. Today I created an evening look with a faux leather pencil skirt, a black opaque and sheer top, a grey faux fur vest, a pair of black pumps, and patterned black stockings from Hanes. I kept my accessories to a minimum. I didn’t want to compete with the vest and the top so I went for a simple black and grey look.

The design on the stockings is very intricate. I felt real old school with these on. Adding a pair of patterned stockings or tights to your look is a great way to add a little flair to your outfit.

Another essential for a look like this is a bold lip. Once again I went with my favorite…MAC Ruby Woo
