Rediscovering Ramen Fashion

It's no secret that from time to time I have had trouble updating this blog, sometimes my fashion blog on tumblr and weight loss blog for the org I am in takes precedence, which really sucks because I love doing what I do on here.

After being accepted to Teen Vogue Fashion University (post coming soon, promise) and attending it, I realized that I was seriously slacking when it came to well, everything. I hatched this idea to completely relaunch this blog, which I wanted to happen on January 1st. However, the reality was (and is) I can't do it alone. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I know plenty of talented people, but none too willing to take on this endeavor with me just yet. A lot of people scoff at the thought of running a blog being hard work, but the truth is, whether you have 1 reader or a million, it is in fact a lot of hard work.

It comes down to consistency and that is what this blog has been lacking, consistent posts from me, the author and for that, I apologize. Every break I get from college my goal is to always generate enough posts so that I at least have something to post once a week. The problem with that is fashion is always changing. Sure, I could make 5 posts over break about trends I've seen while in Indianapolis, but the truth is, that might not be the same in Missouri and fads (like those god awful sneaker wedges that are still ever so slowly on their way out) wouldn't be represented fairly.

The good news is, I'm committed to this, I can actually say, this is a top priority especially as I begin to apply for internships. I want to put my best foot forward and let my style and love for clothes shine through.

With that said, I would like to apologize (yet again) for the changes that will inevitably occur over the next month (at least) with the layout, look and feel of this blog. Yes, it's about the clothes, but a new year calls for a switch up. I'm talking different fonts, better tags so you guys can track what I like most and personal posts, like this one, because of course there will be some of those.

So finally, I close with this: Thank you. Thanks for the emails, the comments, the shares and recommendations you all have made for me, words cannot express how much I appreciate it, I am truly thankful, you all are awesome!

I hope you all are having great starts to your new year and I can't wait to see what it brings for all of us! Should be great!

Much love,

Brittany

Success!

So some of you may or may not remember my post about going natural, (if you're curious what I had to say, go here) recently I cut off all of my relaxed ends (well everything, but my bangs) and at first I was scared to no end, but once I realized there was no turning back and that it was just hair, I started to deal.

All my relaxed edges

Wet poodle fro right after my "BC"

So far it has actually been great! I love that when I workout my hair looks the same all over because it is one texture, I love that I can get my hair wet in the shower when I forget to crab my shower cap and it isn't a problem and I really love that I can officially put my hair in a ponytail!

Me and all my ponytail-ed goodness (:

(excuse my looking a hot mess)

I literally stood in awe for a good 5 minutes today when I put my hair up, I was so happy! Why you ask? For multiple reasons:
1. A ponytail/messy bun was my go to hairstyle in high school, it's nice to have that option back
2. My hair is healthy!
3. I actually stuck with it my natural hair journey for an entire year!
4. I don't have to braid it up every night now

I suppose I really wanted to post this in hoping it'd give someone who just BC-ed (big chopped) or some who is going through transitioning hope. Stick with it! It will be worth it, promise! I transitioned for  year and there were times I just wanted to straighten it, but I am so glad I stuck with it! I can't wait for it to grow more!
