sometimes, when i’m home alone i dance around. i sing and i whip my hair. i do. it makes me feel good and taps deep into an inner part of me where i can go that allows me to be myself and not shrink away when all i want to do is to be invisible to the world. there is something about knowing the walls can’t judge me and that i’m being just who i am, how i want to be…that is liberating.

kelly is a kinky haired natural that holds no punches. her hair is kinky and her styling skills are off the charts. currently enrolled in aveda to take her natural hair skills up a notch, we talked for two hours for her type 4 feature about all kinds of random things including philly move members, naps and “fros on the fourth” – kelly was one of the inspirational naturals behind “fros on the fourth” and designed the logo that spread in the natural community like a virus. i can’t wait to see how her skills skyrocket after school and she shares with the world her professional natural hair game which i’m sure will be a force to be reckoned with.

what year did you start going natural? [click to continue…]


a reader (not pictured) asks: I REALLY love your blog first of all <3 <3. I found it not to long ago i think on twitter. I am Hispanic and Native American. I was wondering if the posts you make about hair are only for African American woman and men? Do you think it would be safe if i tried some of the products and techniques you have tried and reviewed?

great question! though the title of this blog may throw you a bit, a kinky woman is any woman who embraces all things kinky curly and fly and likes to dress well to boot.

when i started blogging, my initial goal was just to [click to continue…]


miu miu’s blue leather messenger bag with all-over metallic sequin embellishment is becoming a cult favorite and that’s because this isn’t your mama’s 80′s style sequined bag. a bag owned and rocked by tracy taylor, the u.s. editor for net-a-porter, this miu miu sequin-embellished leather bag has designer-stamped gold hardware, a long detachable shoulder strap, satchel-style straps and a gold turn-lock fastening at fold-over flap front, an internal zip-fastening pocket, three internal compartments and is fully lined.

i shop online a lot and acutally do most of my new clothes shopping online because a quick search can usally offer up what i want without the tireless run around town to different stores.

online shopping offers up variety that is often missed in stores, because we all know there is only so many places you can hit up in a day and of course not every store is always having a sale.

so what about exclusive online shopping – sites where everything is ALWAYS on sale and the prices often drop lower and lower as the time goes on. that’s one of my online shopping secrets – never pay retail and still end up fly by shopping private online shopping sites like rue la la, gilt group, beyond the rack and ideeli. if you’ve ever wanted to try out these sites – which are free – but can’t because you don’t have an invite code, well click away, because almost any shopping site you can think of i am a member of and you can use my invite code to become a member too.

not all of the sites are invite only, however most are so just click on any photo or link below to sign up and start shopping! [click to continue…]


i have a new love and her name is celine. ever since this high end brand debuted their most recent collection, i have been in nothing but pure, unadulterated love. combine that love of their handbags with a bold and simple execution in the form of a flat clutch and you get double the love!

okay, so i know you are probably thinking that this celine clutch is so simple and it is. that’s the brilliant thing about it. the price, not so much, so of course i tracked down something you ladies could rock that wouldn’t drop a weapons of mass destruction hole in your pocket – matter of fact, your kids, if you have them, could buy you these leather clutches after saving their allowance for a few weeks. and yeah, i said leather.

blame it on my tendencies to want to bleach everything, but i don’t like it when my brushes (and sometimes combs) have any kind of sticky residue on them. if i’m not careful and fall off of my normal cleaning schedule, my conditioner will leave a buildup on the little dips on the cushion of [...]
