New Series: #WigWednesdays

More into fashion? Watch my haul, lookbooks, and styling videos below:

You're probably scratching your head and wondering, "You changed your hair...again!" Well, you're correct. I've been protecting my curls through little to no manipulation by wearing wigs. I simply cornrow or flat twist my hair underneath and throw a wig on in the morning. Before you freakout, let me answer some questions you may be wondering:

1. "Are you ashamed of your natural hair?"
No, not at all. I love my natural hair and would never want to damage my curls by straightening them. I am wearing a protective style (the wig) so I will not damage my curl pattern but to switch up my style.

2. "Why not get a wig your hair texture?"
I currently have 3 curly wigs already and will place an order to buy more, however, I wanted to see what I would look like with straight hair. Personally, straight hair is fun but curly is more my style. 

3. "Are you trying to be white?"
 If you've followed me for a while, you know I like to change my look often. No identity crisis but I'm simply having fun. Also, I'm honestly lazy with doing my hair as my schedule has not allowed me to spend as much time with it as I need.

If you seen any of my natural hair videos then you know what I'm talking about. My wash day is roughly about 3-4.5 hours, excluding deep conditioning overnight. Yes, it takes quite a long time but this allows me not to do my hair for about 2-3 days until mid-week wash routine. Wednesdays wash routine does not include deep conditioning.

This has given me the flexibility to wash my hair every other week! However, when you wash and manipulate (play in your hair constantly) you are causing unnecessary knots and tangles, which causes shedding; on top of stripping your hair of it's natural oils that moisturizes your hair.

Now that those questions are answered, I'm excited to this new blog series: #WigWednesdays. I'll be showing you some new wigs that I am trying out, how to style them, and some overall thoughts on them. So, first up is the Sensationnel Stocking Cap Quality Custom Lace Wig - YAKI 30. If you'd like to read a proper review leave a comment down below.

A Seattle Brunch: Eve in Fremont

I was roaming around Fremont and saw this beautiful new restaurant. I slowed down and walked passed the window entranced by the black, white, and green theme that they had going on. If you live in Seattle and venture through local business, you would know what I mean when I say it's has that darling "Seattle charm."

I couldn't stop staring at this mirror and would love to DIY this for my apartment

A little iPhone snippet.

Lola ordered Bacon and Egg Tartine with a Ginger Ale

I ordered potatoes, sausage, and eggs sunny side up. I had to try one of their pressed juices. They were out of green so I got the carrot-orange drink. Side-note: those may have been the best potatoes I've ever tasted in my life. 

 Reagan, our waitress, told us that the majority of their decoration has come from local vintage stores. Eve supports local farmers by buying from the Ballard and Fremont markets.

 The hanging lights add so much dimension throughout the space. I was seriously in awe. 

Eve definitely has a thing for glass, gold, and green. 

 Our receipts came in these vintage books.

Meet the beautiful Lola and check out her Instagram

A brief overview of Eve in Fremont: Seattle, WA. 

Food

When I first got my plate, I was worried that I would have to send it back to the chief. I silently spent a minute observing what those brown, cracked lungs were. Well, those "fingerling" potatoes have made this picky eater excited to try new things. After the first bite, I cut each one in fourths to savior it. Also, the eggs and sausages did not disappoint. To be honest, I thought it would taste like Denny's eggs but you can tell they use fresh produce from the market. 

I even snagged a bite of Lola's Tartine: mainly the salad portion and I surprised myself that I went back for another fork filled and she gave me the "I-know-we're-in-public-so-I-won't-yell-but-stop-eating-my-food" glare. I then sacrificed my precious fingerling for one more taste. It was worth it.

Drink

If you know me, green juice is my jam. When I'm home in Los Angeles, I will pack my $200 (which is now broken, thanks Dad) blender with two full handfuls of spinach, one cucumber, half a stalk of celery, one apple, and about ten grapes. That's just one of my favorite recipes.

So, you can imagine my reaction when they told me they were out of green juice. I mean, did they expect me to be that adventurous trying a new flavor without the security of my already pushed comfort zone of drinking my veggies? Well, I did and that orange pressed juice beat my expectations. I loved it. If you're looking for a juice more on the sweeter side, try that one!

Experience
Even though they were confused why I kept pulling out my Canon DSLR, the host and our waitress held smiles on their faces as they efficiently brought out drinks, food, and check served us. Reagan even brought us a poem that inspired the owners, Debra Russel and Jill Buchanan to make their dreams a reality. I'm thoroughly impressed with this stylish and wholesome establishment. I highly recommend going, in fact, invite me if you decide to go so I can try the entire menu.

Spring 2016 Trend Fashion: The Denim Dress

Top: Old Navy | Dress: Old Navy | Shoes: H&M (pictured on IG)

I'm really loving denim dresses for Spring. If you're like me and wear all black, this is the easiest way out of our comfort zone. You can pair this with trousers and loafers to dress this up. Or wear it with a button down and sneakers like I did for a daytime piece. 

What are your favorite denim trends for Spring?
