The Asfaw Crown Wrap

This is a beautiful head wrap, and I am adding it to my wish list of things to get this year. It is called The Asfaw Crown Wrap by Rebel Clothing.  The Asfaw hand crocheted crown wrap is made in acrylic or cotton. Hat modeled by Tiffany Denise.

Here is some info on the designer:

"Designer and creator of Rebel with a Cause, Jahji Tokunbo has mastered cultivating utilitarian fashion rooted in rebellion. A Bermudian native with roots in Jamaica and Nevis offering her giant lessons in identity and self-expression. A true thinker and builder, Tokunbo's lasting understandings of self and Africaness were heavily formed during her adolescent years spent traveling in the Eastern Caribbean for schooling- both in classrooms and in culture." 

"Hairings" from Sheebaz!!! Very cool....

Sheebz Belgrave created an interesting pair of earrings made from two loc's! What a cool and unique idea...  This is the comment I left for Sheebz on her facebook page regarding these earrings:

Flowers From Fatima

I think it is absolutely amazing when we see young entrepreneur's who have already started businesses for themselves and doing something positive and productive with their time. Fatima Spencer, age 21, created Flowers From Fatima.  Her esty store has a colorful collection of handmade floral Accessories for all occasions. The are various designs for both woman and young girls.
 "I truly look forward to inspiring trends and sharing a classic look with others ... One of my main goals is to, not only beautify women, but make them feel good about themselves while connecting them with a reflection of Mother Nature's gift, which is the flower."

Big wet hair!

I love these headbands! They are perfect for after washing my hair. I can pile my hair on top of my head, and make a loose bun, and take my time palm rolling my hair. With these headbands, I can do this and still feel comfortable with the weight of my hair on the top of my head (which is really heavy when wet). These are really gentle. They do not pull your hair. And they are easy to use.

I recommend them to any one that feels like their hair is really heavy after washing it. Or just any one that wants to get their hair out of their face. I have been trying to find the actual style name of this kind of hair band, so I can search for it online. I usually just get lucky, like I did with these, and find them at a local Ross Store. But I have also seem them occasionally at CVS or Walgreens. But not often. If you see them, buy it! It's a great find. I got all of these for $3 dollars (the price at Ross). Needless to say, at that price, I got two packs... ;-).

Bold Necklace & Half Bun

Ok... Mrs. quiet Karen (that's me), in every day public life, can be kind of boring when it comes to exciting vibrant clothing. But the truth is - I crave it. Sometimes I wish I had the nerve to wear bright vibrant rich colors all the time. But it doesn't happen. That's why I was kind of excited when I got my new necklace. This helps a little bit. If I can't wear bold clothing, maybe I can spice up my boring outfits with some beautiful accessories. This necklace came from an online catalog company called Newport News. I had a gift card, and could not find much in the way of clothing - so I chose this necklace. I like it! Here is the hair style I wore this day. I needed to get my hair of my face to show off my necklace, and this was quick and easy.

Braided Headband

I found this cute braided headband by Conair at the local CVS Store (formally Longs Drugs). I thought it was cute, so I bought it at $7 dollars, which is kind of high for a headband. But decided to get it because it looked like it would last for a long time. The only problem is that the little brown elastic band on the bottom, wasn't big enough - that thing was way to tight when I put it on for the first time. So I cut off the little brown band at the bottem of the headband, and tied on my own little slim black hair tie. It fit much better.

The Queen has spoken!

Hello everyone! There was a great response to the Queen Wisdom's Headwraps post back on January 7th. A lot of you love her head wraps, and wanted to know an alternative way to get in contact with this talented lady, outside of Myspace. Well she has replied with the following info:

You can reach her at wisdomborn@gmail.com to place an order. You can view her inventory here. She accepts payments via paypal and is open to receiving money orders if needed.

"Most of the crowns u see on myspace" or on the slide show "are 30 plus the shipping. I do custom orders too...which may or may not cost more depending on the availability and fabric. They are made with natural fibre materials and are all designed to wrap in the styles u see. I also do free online consults when my clients receive their wraps to make sure they have a good grasp of it."

And of course, those of you that do have a myspace page can go directly to her page.
