Beauty Tip-Save yourself some muhla and trim your bangs yourself.
After you wash and blow dry your hair, flat iron your hair till smooth. Gather bangs and twist hair several times, but not too tightly otherwise you may trim tresses too short. Next, depending on how long you want your bangs, trim hair either above or below your fingers holding the twist. Remember it is best to start longer, because you can always re-twist and re-cut in order to make bangs shorter.

This is a great natural hairstyle that can contribute to hair protection as well as hair growth. The ends of the hair which are susceptible to damage are well protected within the braid. Moreover, this side braid hairstyle includes a front cornrow that can help keep unruly edges along the hairline under control.
How To Do It:
1. Part hair on the side.
2. Cornrow hair to the left of the part.
3. Once the left side braid is cornrowed down to the nape pull all hair to the right side.
4. Part remaining hair into two sections.
5. Holding the two sections (one in each hand), take strands from the left section and cross it over to the right section of hair.
6. Next, take strands from the right section and cross it over to the left section of the hair.
7. Continue repeating steps 5 and 6, crisscrossing sections of hair until the fishtail side braid is at your desired length.

In many ways, hair braiding has deep roots in the African-American community. From their origins in Africa, through the days of slavery and into today’s pop culture, cornrow braids have long been associated with the black community. But many don’t realize just how deep those roots go.

The Item: Singer and entertainer, Ciara Wilson’s ZARA Printed Jumpsuit. The musical artist was spotted in her floral frock while out enjoying a date with her NFL hubby, Russell Wilson.
You Asked: Okay, I kind of just need a little confirmation. I think I found Ciara’s jumpsuit online but the price is throwing me off. This look is by ZARA right? BTW I am in the US.
Ask and Tell: Ciara Wilson’s ZARA Printed Jumpsuit under $70
The Verdict: Thanks for the couture question and yes, you are correct! Cici’s cute jumpsuit is by the ZARA fashion label. The brand describes its design as a “long jumpsuit with floral print and contrasting piping detail. [It also] features a lapel collar, V-neckline, long sleeves, front pockets and buttoned cuffs.” For these reasons, the brand named this ensemble, the ZARA Printed Jumpsuit.
Moving on to price we can completely understand why there might be some confusion. ZARA’s website is not always automatically set to the country that you reside in. For instance, the printed jumpsuit you are desiring on our end reads as 79.90CAD. This is Canadian money, so not quite helpful to someone wanting to pay in dollars. However, the equivalent amount in American money would be around $62. Watch for prompts because many times ZARA will have popups asking if you want to change the currency.
Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

All we can say is, “WOW!” The entire Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2018 runway show was a tantalizing affair; however, the closing look stole the attention of everyone in attendance. The vibe, the details, the unspoken allure. Every element just works and brings a certain je ne sais quoi to a collection that is already flawless.
Fashionable Mention: Cushnie et Ochs Faceted Crystal Mesh Gown
Hereith Paul, you are a lucky girl! Paul is the gorgeous model that had the honor and pleasure, of wearing the final closing Cushnie et Ochs look. The dress is a showstopper… Glitzy, spell-binding and more gleam than the night sky on a clear night.
Photographs of this garment did not even come close to doing it justice. The gown gets its bling appeal thanks to a little help from Swarowski. This dress in particular incorporates dazzling, strategically placed Swarowski Drop Crystals.
The crystalized look is currently a favorite among designers for the fall 2018 season. We spotted the trend at not just Cushnie et Ochs, but during a number of other fall runway shows. We noted Swarowski elements and jewelry were utilized during collections for: Alexander Wang, Brandon Maxwell, Jason Wu and Rosie Assoulin.
Nevertheless, we foresee the Cushnie et Ochs Faceted Crystal Mesh Gown being a red carpet favorite. Immediately, upon seeing it all 1966 staff felt that this is a design that Queen Beyonce would absolutely dominate in at any event. We are reminded of her sheer, embellished gown that she wore to the 2015 Met Ball (see below). This is so her style and one that would land any starlet with an amazing pair of legs on the Best Dressed List. All eyes on you RiRi!
