A Queen's Fashion, Style & Curves

So lets talk hair ladies! I was like 7 years old, when my mother first  relaxed  my hair.  Throughout my teenage years and adulthood I continued to do so every 4-6 months until about two years ago.  My hair was beyond damaged from the relaxer, heat and strong chemicals I was using. It wasn't growing and I clearly needed to make a change.   I decided to stop relaxing my hair, reduce the amount of heat and change all the products I had been using for years. All in hopes to revitalize my natural curls.  The transition has not been easy.  I didn't have the courage to do the big chop and had to deal with the challenges of handling my hair in transition. Crazy extra curly roots, wavy center and straight brittle ends. The absolute worst! When I would straighten my hair, it would get  frizzy and turn it to a puff ball with the slightest level of humidity. It wouldn't really curl either, so you ladies can imagine how real my struggle was. Its taken two years for my curls to co

With a new name and branding,  Majour Magazine  has broken the internet!  With so many fantastic changes and additions, what is there not to love and be excited for from the formally known, Phat Magazine?  It's n o secret that I love me a dress and ladies theses dresses from Shop-Majour   are to die for! I'm completely in love with their Mad Max Dress and Bad Girl Bandage  Dress. I just can't decide which one to order, I need them both. Their bags/clutches are adorable as well, especially if you're looking for a statement accessory piece to give your outfit a spark. I know I  have my eye on their Candy Handbag and Paris Me Purse , which I can't decide on either.  I hear even greater things are coming and I simply can't wait! Check out their dresses and sit tight because what's to come is going to be fantastic!

I imagine that you ladies heard the great new... Charlotte Russe now has Plus Sizes! I find their selection a bit similar to Wet Seal+, but excited never the less for more options. I found a few pieces that I clearly need to add to my closet. Spring is around the corner and its time for new additions! SCALLOPED V-NECK SKATER DRESS BODYCON LACE MINI SKIRT ATHLETIC MESH MIDI SKIRT MESH YOKE COLOR BLOCK CROP TOP

I love Project Runway, Project Runway: All Stars, Project Runway: Threads and clearly anything else they come up with. Every season, whether its Project Runway or Project Runway: All Stars, I sit and wish I could have it all. The good, the bad, the glamorous and even the most unconventional designs, yes I want them all!  The past season of Project Runway: All Stars was one of my favorites. I mean who doesn't love  Sonjia Williams   (PRW Season 10),   Fabio Costa   (PRW Season 10),   Samantha Black  (PRW Season 11 and a Theta Phi Alpha!) and  Helen Castillo   (PRW Season 12)?!  While doing a little retail therapy, I found a few pieces that reminded me of these great designers. Some styles very similar and others completely different, but I swear they gave me the Project Runway  vibe. Sonjia Williams / Monfi C.
