Vanessa Collection Elana Wig

There was a time when I would have never worn a wig. That time as passed. I am in love with wigs now. I have gone natural. For those who do not know what that means, it means that I do not use a relaxer on my hair to straighten it.

Natural curly hair is actually fairly fragile. As I am growing my hair out I find it easier and quite beneficial to keep it braided and where either wigs or weaves. Even one my hair gets to the length that I want it I am sure I will continue to wear wigs.

I view wigs as a sort of accessory. Different outfits or looks require a different hairstyle. The easiest way to achieve these hairstyles is with wigs. Wigs have come a long way within the last few years. These are not your grandma or great grandma wigs. These beauties are looking more realistic every year and are priced affordably. You can look fierce from the neck down, the hair must be up to par too.

The wig above is very versatile. You can dress her (yes, I call the wig a her because they do evoke a type of personalty when you wear them) up wearing her with a cute cocktail dress and a partial up-do. Or dress her down with a cute tee and jeans. If you are new to wigs or on a budget, a versatile wig is a must.

Preppy Swag

I love the urban look. A nice looking guy in a pair of slightly baggy, an over size t-shirt, a hoodie, fitted cap, and Timberland boots does it for me every time. However, there are those times when the occasion calls for something a little more polished.

The first picture is a long sleeve polo. Second picture of an argyle sweater. The third picture is of a classic button down shirt. You could wear these looks with a pair of slacks and dress shoes and look great. I like these looks with fitted jeans and a pair of Timberland boots (or any other type of boot [if you are going to diner black boots would probably be accepted as some places frown on the regular tan Timberlands]) but NOT with sneakers. I think a man still looks a bit more polish but still has that sexy edge that I like.

*The pictures shown are from Brooks Brothers. Certainly you can find this items are other stores but just like some ladies, there are some men who just love labels.
























Above are two argyle sweater dresses. These would look so stunning with a cute pair of booties or knee high boots. If you are in a colder climate wear with a pair of nylons. Personally, I do not like regular stockings so I would wear thigh highs or leggings. Now some people would call it tacky or dare I say...high school-ish but I would definitively wear this if I were going out with my beau and he was wearing his argyle sweater.

***can find the websire where the picture with the girl in the sweater dress came from if anyone knows drop a line so that I can link it and give credit. I just love the way she's rocking that dress.

Bedroom Inspiration

It has been a while since I posted anything that wasn't about shoes or clothing. As we know being fierce is not just about what you wear. Fierce is like swagga honey, it is the whole package. It's a lifestyle. So today we'll take it to the bedroom.

What is fierce about this room? Let's start with the bed as it is always the focal point of the room. I love this 4 poster bed. It seems easy enough to duplicate if you are the handy do-it-yourself type. If you have the time, equipment and skills to crave the post out using one of those word carving machine (the name escapes me at the moment) but really how many of us can do that. This is what I would do.

Purchase: different sizes of wood (plastic) balls in set of 4; 4 tall thin pipes (metal or pvc); 4 thick rectangle blocks, 4 wood boards (for the sides); at least 4 metal corner braces and screws.

Then I would drill a slightly larger hole in the center of every ball than the circumference of the pipes. Then using the picture as a guide I would assemble the pieces until they resembled the picture.

Next would be to find a four metal bowls or a pair of metal spheres that could be turned in to the two hanging lights.

With a painted accent wall, a large piece of artwork acting as a headboard, and then the rest of the usual bedroom funture pieces (varies depending on the size of your room) would complete the room nicely.

How could you not feel fierce walking into a room like this? Or dare I say...entertain in a room like this.

If you live in a cold climate you know the need for a good warm boot for those cold snowy days. Timberland boots have long been a urban fashion stable. I would wear these boots with skinny jeans or jeggings. I would layer a cami with a light weight sweater on top (possibly with a cowl neck). I would also wear knee high socks that come over top of the boots. Whether you go funky or simple, these should be in your closet.
