HAIR CRUSH: NSE IKPE ETIM

So I wrote plenty story and didn't save, then NEPA did their usual magic and now it's gone :( Lesson learnt: always save!
Anyway...Nse Ikpe-Etim is my newest hair crush. She's a Nigerian actress, and she's natural. I love her courage to wear natural hair everywhere and anywhere. She regularly wears her natural hair to events and award shows, and she looks smashing every.single.time. Her growth is crazy,especially considering she isn't up to 2 years natural (if I'm wrong please let me know in the comments!). Her density *wipes drool* that hair is full!!!
Nse Ikpe-Etim recently got married to Mr Clifford Sule, her first love. That's all sorts of romantic *insert hopeless romantic sigh*.She rocked her natural hair in a fro-hawk.I don't even know any naturals that can rock their natural hair for their wedding(Berry Dakara of African Naturalistas has indicated she will though)
Hopefully,I'll develop her courage and thick skin soon.Frankly, I'm tired of people acting like my hair grows out of their skulls.

HAIR CRUSH: JANELLE MONAE

Anybody that follows me on twitter knows I'm a bonafide Janelle Monae groupie. From her hair to her style, and isn't she sooo beautiful???! I love the androgynous style to bits. Covergirl obviously agrees as she's now the face of Covergirl and sister s werking it!

Who's seen the video for Q.U.E.E.N? She and Erykah Badu (another natural hair icon) tore that video to pieces...if you haven't seen it,really, what are you waiting for???Because I'm all sorts of nice, here's the video :)

She has a new song out,titled "dance apocalyptic" and her hair's out of her signature pompadour..that hair is lonnnnggggg! If I didn't have a hair crush before, I have one now for sure.

HOW TO MIX PATTERNED AND PLAIN

Mini-blog post...Just saw this on a blog I discovered today. Being a law student, I have an excess of white shirts and I get tired of pairing them with black all the time. I have a skirt that looks like this, so I must try this out asap! I'll try to put up pictures when I do.
