That's the name I've given my wig. SN: wigs are like sliced bread when it comes to my eternal love and devotion. I can slap a wig cap over my two-strand twists that I didn't feel like taking out--which is exactly what's going on as we e-speak--and transform my entire look for the day. Pretty …
Pinspirations.
Hi, there. So I went to Pinterest a few weeks ago to get some ideas for my next protective style. As you know, I've been protective styling it more often than not, ever since my crochets in February. After deciding that I wanted some cornrows, I eventually descended into the sweet Pinterest rabbit hole, where you …
Dressing Room Diaries #1: Stripes and Dots.
Sometimes I go to the store and I try things on. If you know anything about This Square Peg, you'll know that doing that, especially during cold weather or when I'm bloated, hurts me. But baby steps. Anywho, sometimes I buy said outfits, sometimes I don't. I almost always take pics of what I try …

Pinterest Poses.
I pinned myself last night on Pinterest. I've pinned myself several times before, but this is the first time I'm blogging about it. Anywho, why does one pin themselves? I'll tell you why I did it. I was quite in love with my hair last night (this whole weekend, actually) and I wanted to share it. …
Fabu Fashion Monday: A Little Night Music.
Last weekend, my friend and I headed up to NYC to catch a concert by Damien Escobar, a violinist I discovered a few months ago. It was a nice chance to get out of town, even for a quick weekend. Digressing: have I discussed my love/hate relationship with the city? It's a fantastic place for the arts, …

Salon/Stylist Stories.
Our intriguing, perplexing, awesome, mind-boggling, revolutionary, interesting, and life-changing relationship/journey began when I was 11 years old. This was when my mother took me to my first hair salon. It was owned by a Ghanaian woman who ran the salon from her apartment. I was terrified. No surprise there. If you know anything about me so far, …
Fabu Fashion Tuesday: It’s *Springtime.
*Which means the weather is wildly inconsistent. Nevertheless, since today is a good weather day (sunny, mid 80s), I decided to dress for the occasion. Away we go. If you can't tell, that's a peplum top. I paired it with my favorite black blazer (Sears; don't sleep on Sears) because the OK Corral keeps the …
calling all big heads.
Let's get right to it, shall we? For most of my days on this planet, I've been reminded by my mother about how this thing that sits on my neck nearly cost her her life. If you have a large coconut, I'm sure you've heard similar stories from your mom. And lest you think Mom …
A Crochet Story.
Did she learn to crochet, those who don't know me may wonder? No, dear ones: the girl who failed Home Economics in the seventh grade (true story) became the same woman who drove home in tears a few years ago after a sewing class. So when it comes to anything having to do with a …
