Forever 21 Haul !

Hey dolls, its Jaz' here with a haul from Forever 21! This remains one of my favorite stores as they keep trendy pieces for affordable prices. Here are my purchases:

black & gold statement necklace $6.80

Statement necklaces are really big this season and an easy way to spice up any outfit.

Check Ashley's blog post on bib necklaces for more info on styling the trend.

yellow & gold slipnot earring $1.50

Who can do without some nice snazzy studs especially a pair this cute and cheap??

silver spike earrings $1.50

A nice pair of spike studs to add a bit of edge to any outfit

hair bands $1.00

Since I'm natural, these bands are a necessity for when styling my hair without weave. Regular hair bands just dont cut it anymore. I need the long elastic ones that can fit around my head and it helps to have them in neutral colors.

black and white long pant $17.80

A comfortable pair of pants in a nice funky print. Roomy, loose pockets, with a skinny fit at the ankles these pants can have an almost "harem" type vibe and can be scrunged up for a different look.

pink lace top $9.80

A nice top for layering and a nice pastel color perfect for the coming spring. 

nude shimmer lip gloss $1.80

I wanted a nice nude color for my lips that would add a hint of color but still be subtle enough to go with any makeup look. I figured it'd go good with the nude lipstick I already have from NYC in Cafe.

Alright guys, these are my purchases and thus far I am thrilled with them! tell me what you guys think, which item was your favorite? Least favorite? Leave your comments below!! Until next time dollcakes! :)

How To Get A Chic High Bun

Hey ya'll, Jaz' again and this time with a tutorial on how to get a sleek high bun with curly hair weave. This method can also be used on straight hair weave and real hair alike. I hope you all find this tutorial to be a helpful and  easy way to achieve the sleek high couture buns that we are beginning to see on Kim Kardashian and stars all over hollywood. Until next time my blog-divas!!

Weaved Up!

Its Jaz' here, & i said, yes I said it...i am WEAVED UP and glad about it! The hair is ModelModel Equal Pretty Curl 18in in a color 1B. I did a full sew-in (no leave-out) using two and a half bags & its cost??? 10 dollars. Now it is a blend of hair, meaning that it is not fully human but not fully synthetic either. While I would NEVER purchase a straight hair weave that is synthetic in any form, I don't mind doing it with a curly 'do. Curly hair requires much less wear and tear to be put on it than straight hair and can become even cuter as it ages and frizzes. I've had this hair for about 2 weeks now and its not very much maintenance at all. To care for it, I just use a vent brush to detangle and Wave Nouveau Moisturizing Finishing Mist to soften and define the curls. To preserve the hair I sleep with a bonnet at night. You can also put the hair into big twist at night if you are looking to further preserve the curl. The hair does tangle and shed, which is to be expected, but its not unbearable. I plan on keeping this hair 2-3 more weeks. Below is a shot of my hair on the first day I did it and a shot of how it looks now that its 2wks later. (<----- Day 1 on left, Day 14 on right ---->)

     

Notice how in the day 14 shot, the hair is bigger and the curls slightly looser. See, told ya, gets better with time if ya ask me ;)
