New Blog! Join Us!



 I started a new blog with my friend Tiffany at www.fashionfroward.blogspot.com. We want to provide a place where fashion, hair care, healthy cooking, home decor, creative projects, travel, and lifestyle converge. The name originates from the fact that we are curly girls with a passion for fashion.

Fashion Froward is about discovering and celebrating who you are. We as women tend to take on many responsibilities, leaving very little time to focus on ourselves. We want Fashion Froward to be a gathering place for generating renewal, enrichment, ideas, inspiration, and most importantly, fun! While we are the main contributors to this blog, we know so many other beautiful and talented ladies who will also be lending their expertise. We also welcome your input and ideas. Please join us!

Starry Eyes

The nerdy glasses trend (whether prescription or perpetrator) has been going strong for years, but lately, I've noticed some of my favorite celebs posting fabulous shots of themselves in all their bespectacled glory.  These hot shots are making "four eyes" look oh so fab.

Unfortunate Name...Awesome Concept

The oddly named Heel Condoms are a great way to update your shoe game without breaking the bank.  There are many different colors and styles to choose from to fit any mood or occasion. The two versions easily slip onto the back of your shoes, devilishly called the "panty style" or the heel of the shoe, which is the "condom style".  The items I viewed cost $20-$30, much less than a new pair of shoes...if you can get past the name!

Weekend Girl



When the weekend arrives we tend to rely on sweats, jeans and t-shirts as our go-to garments.  Try a few well-chosen accessories like interesting scarves, bangles, belts and shoes to elevate those comfy favorites to casual chic.
