Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and fee the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.

Short Hairstyles For Black Women: Modern Punk
If bands and artists of the 80’s could have looked into the future to take a quick look at us all, they would have been proud…very proud. These days punk hairstyles are being revisited by hair masters and given a chic modern twist. In recent times this has included the side hair shave and longer lengths of hair being pulled forward, especially with mohawk hairstyles. Celebrities that have stepped into the punk short hair pond have included fashion icon, Rihanna and the gorgeous Jill Scott. Enjoy the photos and get inspired if and when you decide to do some snipping.
2014 Winter Fashion: Turtle Necking
Besides a stylish winter coat, what you wear underneath is just as important. At some point, you will have to reemerge from the fashion safety of a trench or leather coat and have to reveal yourself. In the way of tops you should invest in a few turtle neck style shirts. They will keep you warm and also look modern as well as sophisticated. Nevertheless, thanks to their simplicity they can be easily paired with a nice pant or skirt.
Furr’d Up
Stay warm during the upcoming cool-down by incorporating furry details into your couture looks. We’re fans of fur coats, vests, gloves and even hats. These little details make the simplest outfit (i.e. jeans and top) transform into a hot style commodity. You’ll add a certain “je ne sais quoi” to your ensembles that will surely get heads turning and the fashion obsessed talking…in a good way of course!
Style Tip: Winter colors tend to be quite drab and dark, keep your couture more spirited by adding pops of color.

Streetstyle: Rolled Jeans
Call it laid back or even a modern throwback to 50’s and 60’s fashion. Rolling up the bottom of your jeans is a trendy way of adding some flair to your denim. The only difference is nowadays you can rock the look without showing off your socks.
Fashion Tip: Are you quite adventurous when it comes to fashion? Be a little boisterous with your ensemble by wearing a pair of super distressed jeans.
