Hey everyone! To celebrate fashion night out here in NYC, I attended Beautiful textures Curl Couture event. It was a long wait to get in but once we were inside, everything was awesome! The food was great, the drinks were well made and I got to meet and interact with some of my fav bloggers. I had a blast. Below are some pics I took of the event. Enjoy!<br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hey guys!!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> I finally took the plunge and decided to trim my hair.I've always been scared that whoever I'd let do it would get a little bit scissors happy and boom! I'd end up with a nice new bob hair cut.Anyways I finally threw caution to the wind in the hands of my cousin. She attends Empire Beauty School right here in Manhattan so when she offered to flat iron my hair, I gladly accepted with the added bonus of getting those tired ends of mines taken care of.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">P.S. I've been natural for 2 and a half years and have managed to reach full Apl (Arm pit length)/Grazing BSL (Bra strap length)..Below are the results.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My hair looked and felt better and I was quite happy with the way it turned out! This straight look only lasted about 4 days thanks to these rainy New York days.</span><div>

Hope you all had a GREAT weekend. It's always a good weekend for me when I attend Darker than Brown monthly natural hair meetup. It is a meetup group geared towards natural haired ladies who are looking to learn from one another through their hair journey. For those of you who may not be familiar, I am 100% natural and I love attending these events. This one is particular is held at <a href="http://www.vapianointernational.com/vapiano/menu/select-branch/list.html?idcat=&lang=" target="_blank">Vapiano</a>. It was my third time attending this meetup and I had an absolute blast. The ladies were a pleasure to talk to and we all got goodie bags with full size products from this month's sponsor Soft n free "Nothing But" hair care line.<br />

Anywho while enjoying a lovely *subdued* night at home, I ran into some old 3d glasses.

I loved the look and it got me thinking, why don't I have more of this in my wardrobe!!. </span></span></div><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So in light of the upcoming change in weather (Spring) I have decided that to my spring wardrobe, I MUST include some spectacular bold, beautiful pattern skirts that are going to be either full length or below the knee.
