Is 'Recycling' A Fashion Faux Pas?

Total: $63.95

I have a lot of things to tell you in this post and I don't even know where to begin! I'll begin at the reason for this post's title. I recently read an E! News article where they criticized a celebrity (Jennifer Aniston) for wearing the same dress twice (recycling). Since when has not throwing your clothes away after one wear become a fashion faux pas? Do you agree?  For this outfit, I stayed around the same color pallete as the previous one, but I made it more dressy by adding this pair of sandals, a statement necklace and these gorgeous textured pants + red lips.

I always dress up according to my mood... no matter what. If I don't, I will not feel comfortable in what I'm wearing. Do you do that too? I had planned out a different outfit initially, but I ended up changing into this just because I felt like wearing pants and nothing was going to change that. 

Finally, I need some help! I NEED to find a brand that makes pants/jeans that fit perfectly (especially for pear-body shapes). If you have any suggestions, please them in the comment section!

Art In The Park (Windsor) : What I Wore + Fab Jewelry

A couple of days ago, My friend Huang and I volunteered at an event called 'Art In The Park' close to my church. We had so much fun walking around and looking at all the beautiful, handmade, unique and novel artwork. There was all sorts: gorgeous jewelry, paintings, handmade clothing, original leather goods...

I managed to get some pictures of some of the fab pieces from different vendors: I will link each collection to it's vendor together. Scroll past the OOTD pics to get to all the gorgeousness!

Hair Talk

Dress: Urban Planet|Jacket: Suzy Shier|Shoes: JustFab

Total Outfit Cost: $55

Let's talk hair. If you've been around since the beginning of this blog, you might remember I was transitioning from permed to natural hair. Well, it's been a year now and I'm fully natural! Yaay! I did not do the big chop. Before transitioning, my real hair length was about an inch or two below my neck (from behind). Although I didn't chop, a whole lot of my permed hair ended up falling off. This mostly occured while washing or combing. The remaining bit of permed hair left formed annoying tangles at the end of my newly grown natural hair (some of the tangles were 2-3 inches in length). 

On Monday, I decided to chop all the tangles off! A friend of mine who was present at the moment, kept going like 'WOW! That's a lot of hair you're cutting off!'. I was tired of the stressful process of detangling my hair. (After you've grown out a sizeable amount of natural hair, the permed hair remaining makes washing and detangling more difficult). I'm considering going back to permed hair. I actually permed my hair, but it just wouldn't perm...

Are you Team Natural or Term Permed Hair? I'd love to know!

Hey guys, what's up? The weekend flew by really quickly for me. I attended a friend's surprise birthday party on Saturday, and I wore this to Church on Sunday. This outfit was so unexpected! My mum got me these pants (they're a size bigger than me) , and I really wanted to style them in a different way, so I paired them with this top that's been hiding in my closet unworn for months now.

Also, I'm currently in the middle of picking wall colors for my room, and honestly, it's not as easy as I thought it would be! I want a relaxing color, nothing too bright; just a color that is calming. I had in mind light grey, some dark taupe colors, and navy blue, but I don't know. What do you think? Any color suggestions?
