Style Post: Kimonos & Brunch

Hey kurlies,

Hubby and I recently went brunching (one of our favorite things to do), and I thought I would do a quick outfit post, especially since I am rocking a kimono. Let's get to it, shall we! 

Kimono: Thrifted

Pink spaghetti top: Forever 21

Shorts: H&M (originally pants, but I cut them)

Necklace: Thrifted

You can't really tell, but my hair is in mini twists, rolled and tucked into a bun.

Purse: Hayden Barnett (Thrifted)

Shoes: Bakers

We brunched at Cafe Brazil. The service was great, and the food was delicious. I had the veggie tacos, which were filled with zucchini, mushrooms, peppers, feta cheese, and scrambled eggs. We will definitely eat there again in the future.

Peep hubby, mocking me in his mint shirt... Lol! Gotta love him! 

Until next time... 

Be faith-filled, fearless, and fabulous,

Kurly Ken

Style Post: Season of the Crop Top

Hey Kurlies,

Summer is the perfect time to rock crop tops, and I have been rocking them every chance I get. On friday, I had the opportunity to go out to dinner with some of my fabulous friends.

For my make-up, I kept it simple, and wore a neutral golden eye with a smoked out outer crease. My lip color was Retro Red by NYC Cosmetics, which I reviewed in my most recent post Red Lipsticks for Women of Color. I also kept my hair simple. To prep for this style, I blew my hair out and placed twists in it over night.  Twelve hours later, I undid my twists and pinned my hair over to the side.

For the restaurant, we went to Zenna Thai and Japanese Restaurant; however, upon my arrival, I saw I was a bit overdressed. Luckily, my awesome friend had a pair of spare sandals in her car. I guess I need to get with the program and start carrying around a spare pair for myself.

Zenna Thai and Japanese had such delicious food, and I ordered several rounds of Philadelphia Rolls. My fave!!!! The rolls were absolutely perfect, filled with smoked salmon, cream cheese and avocado. My kind of roll! 

It was an awesome night filled with good conversation, laughter, entertainment, and delicious food.

Until next time,

Be faith-filled, fearless, fabulous,
