Hello Beauties, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today is not a style post, but what's the best accessory that you can always change and update, that's right ... your hair!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last winter, I decided to cut my own hair into a tapered fro! Though I enjoyed the short cut, I want my longer luscious curls back. I seriously have begun to realize how much I miss my puffs and ponytails. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, the great news I wanted to share with you all is how I have been growing my hair back in three simple steps, and no ... it does <b>NOT </b>include Hairfinity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1. Drink Your Water:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As simple as it sounds, this is something we do not do often. Trust me I am guilty most days, but all we have in our kitchen is water and milk. Me and my boyfriend decided that it was time for us to clear our skin and our bodies, by consuming more water after giving birth to Emmanuel. And for the past year, not only has my skin flourished ... so has my hair during my growth journey!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2. Deep Conditioning with Coconut Oil</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Deep conditioning with coconut oil can be done on both natural and relaxed hair. Coconut oil mimics the natural oil we have on our scalp, which helps promote healthy growth. Every weekend, if I'm good, or ever other weekend I like to wash or co-wash (it just depends on how I feel) and on my naked curls I just cover my scalp and hair with coconut oil and throw on a plastic shopping bag for 2-3 hours. With the coconut oil alone on your curls, your hair will be super soft, manageable and strong! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3. Take Your Multivitamins</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, so I know everyone has been obsessing over Mane Choice and Hairfinity, and that's all good. Personally, I have had great experience with the continued use of my prenatal pills (I use Target brand and the Nature Made brand from Walmart), which have been successful. It is recommend for women to continue taking their prenatals after giving birth, so I have began re-taking them to help with my postpartum shedding. A multivitamin, or vitamin that focuses on hair and nails, will work just fine, just be patient and consistent.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jenna Lyons, President and Creative Director of J.Crew, has been my style crush for the past month now. After first encountering her on GIRLS, I was instantly attracted to her style. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add insult to injury, she has been giving me life during Fashion Week (today, being the last day to oggle at the models on the runway)! One day, I will be in NYC to actually enjoy the overload of style and fashion during NYFW. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To commemorate my style crush and the last day of Fashion Week, I give you this look! </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I just left you all with my favorite looks of the summer, and then I put this together! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This jumpsuit might look familiar! My all-time favorite blogger Gabi, of <a href="http://gabifresh.com/" target="_blank">GabiFresh</a>, were sporting them here: <a href="http://gabifresh.com/2014/08/wetseal-plus-store-openings/" target="_blank">Zip Front Overalls</a>. As soon as I saw her stylish self wearing them I had to have them! Honey the are the BEST overalls ever, not only do they have a zipper front, they are more streamline and less farmer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to pair mine with an H&M mens button down, which I stole from my boyfriend! Pairing these gorgeous overalls with a button down was the perfect choice, I was serving London school girl all day! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you want you very own overalls, find them here: <a href="http://www.wetseal.com/zip-front-overalls-50360024.html?dwvar_50360024_color=10#utm_source=WSplus&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=gabifresh_shop&start=2" target="_blank">Wet Seal Zip Front Overalls</a>. Hurry, they only have sizes 12, 14, and 16. FYI, just like Gabi shared, these overalls DO run true to size.</div>

Hello Beauties,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The summer is coming to close and as I begin to round up my favorite looks from the season, this beauty popped up! I shared it on my Instagram, but it totally slipped my mind to share it (AGES ago). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how a clean black and white ensemble looks, especially with an adorable wide brim hat! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope your week has been amazing! Next week I will be sharing some of my favorite summer looks.</div>

Hello Beauties,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope your week has been smooth sailing! If you have been a reader for some time, you all know that I rarely do clothing reviews. When a great, honest company comes along, I usually do enjoy featuring them on CRB! Even though this <b>is a sponsored post</b>, you all know that my views will be completely and utterly truthful. The company that I have the pleasure of collaborating with is named <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/" target="_blank">eShakti</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of you all may be familiar which this brand, many of your and my favorite bloggers have rocked beautiful pieces from them. The awesome thing about eShakti is that you have free reign to customize pieces that they design to fit your personal body measurements. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
**<b>FYI: This review is a bit lengthy, but feel free to read or just breeze through to the sections you want to learn more about.</b></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">To be completely honest I was skeptical, can a brand </span>truly<span style="font-family: inherit;"> fit my curves the way I want them to? YES, eShakti can and did! I have truly been obsessing over the matching set trend and as soon as I saw it on the site I had to review it!

eShakti is a site that ranges in sizes 0-36W, so this is a brand that truly is one style, fits multiple! I picked this matching set in a size 18, but as some of you know I am on a fitness journey, which is a bit too big for my waist but still fits beautifully. I will end up getting this tailored to fit my new size soon. But ladies, this is a <i style="font-weight: bold;">perfect match for me! </i>If you are a size 8, get an 8, if you are a size 20, get the size 20. Even though this is a crop top it does not reveal any skin when worn with the matching skirt. I do plan on wearing them as separates so hopefully I share how it fits with other pieces on here. The skirt does have a slit in the back, but it is a modest slit that adds more appeal to the look!</div>

According to the site, shipping will take 14 business says to deliver. It took my order about 4 days to get to me. Mind you, the fulfillment center is based in India (yes the country) and I live in North Carolina. I am not sure if I received speedy deliver since I am a reviewer, but either way 2 weeks is pretty good when it is shipping from another country. </div>

This is my life in a nutshell! After being a blogger for nearly five years, this is a constant reality for me. It has also inspired me to learn how to maximize all the piece that I have in my wardrobe. From the most basic piece to the cute, vintage statement pieces, they all have a use in my life!</div>

This <a href="http://classicrawbeauty.blogspot.com/2014/06/chiffon-floral-tunic.html" target="_blank">H&M cover up turned dress</a> was an easy piece for me to style! When it came time for me to think of another work day outfit, this coverup came to mind but I wanted a different twist to it!</div>

Then...BOOM...I came up with this simple, chic combination! I had to, literally, dig into one of my clothes bins and find my old faithful Forever21 romper. This piece is literally 3 years old and has been a layer piece, a maternity piece and now an office piece! I must commend Forever21 for having pieces that are both affordable and durable. </div>

Have you ever wanted to look simple and cute at the same time?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been feeling like this lately! So I slipped into this awesome and comfy skater skirt from <a href="https://www.gstagelove.com/" target="_blank">G-Stage</a> plus size collection. If you are wondering what the floral hem is all about, I actually re-purposed an old H&M body con dress and used the hem for the skater skirt. By itself, the skater skirt is a bit risque in the back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Com'on ladies, I didn't want all my junk all out in the open (lol). Whenever a skater is involved, I instantly go for simple, chic. How did I do?</div>

As you can tell, my summer has been going beautifully! I am loving the consistent warm weather we have been having lately. To celebrate my love for the summer, I threw on this (very) thin chiffon swimsuit cover-up from H&M with a black tank and thin leggings. Don't sue me just yet, it has a tendency to be very cold inside the building, so I am attire appropriate (lol). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you ever turned your swimsuit basics into outfits before?</div>

It has been quite beautiful here in North Carolina this summer; so nice, that I decided to wear this comfortable light-weight sweatshirt from Target. The neon and heather grey combination went perfect with my "1995" graphic skirt from Wet Seal. I have been loving the resurgence of the graphic trend, so I decided to dress it up for the work place. Note, I do work with an advertising agency, so the attire is a mix of business causal to super casual. </div>

Hello Beauties, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The summer is finally in full action! Yesterday was my birthday and I turned 23. It is crazy that at 23 I have experienced so much during the later portion of 2013, with the birth of my son, and in 2014 I am almost where I want to be in my career.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am happy to report that I began my social media job and working full time! It is day 2 and things have been going great! Not only am I half way done with my first project, I have been trying to fit time to have someone take my photos for my blog so I can show you where my style has gone since we last spoke. </div>

Hello Loves! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am still alive, just living life! I am enjoying being a mother to my beautiful little one Emmanuel! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is now 5 months and getting into everything. I have been focused on raising him and allowing him to express himself freely. I vividly remember writing and posting my <a href="http://classicrawbeauty.blogspot.com/2013/11/welcome-sweet-emmanuel-our-delivery.html" target="_blank">delivery story</a> and now he is growing and becoming more and more independent! He is just a joy in our life!</div>

Along with raising my son, I have found out some wonderful news! About three weeks ago, I accepted a full time, paid internship with a social media and PR company here in North Carolina! It is truly a blessing y'all! I have wanted to work and intern with this company for over a year now! You all remember my <a href="http://classicrawbeauty.blogspot.com/2014/01/new-year-new-me-new-visions.html" target="_blank">2014 Vision Board</a> ? Well one of my visions was that I wanted to have financial freedom for myself and my family and I am on the road to accomplishing that! 2014 has been so sweet so far and we are only three months into the new year! </div>

I also been experimenting with fitness and nutrition for about 8 weeks now! In those past weeks I have lost 9 pounds! I am going to keep going until I am as healthy as I can be! Emmanuel has inspired me to accomplish my dreams and achieving my goals of being more physically and nutritionally fit! I want to be able to run and play with him without getting winded, I am on my way toward success! </div>

I love Marshalls! They have the cutest two-piece outfits for boys there and a huge selection of boy clothing. Also, Etsy has adorable unique pieces that I add to mix up the basics in his wardrobe. Prior to having him I was worried there wouldn't be as much a selection for baby boy clothes. However, I've been really surprised with how much selection there is! </div>

I love bargain shopping but I also enjoy investing in key pieces in my wardrobe. I currently have an obsession with buying consignment pieces on Instagram! I've found quite a few reputable "IGshops" with high-end merchandise, at half the price. I also love my Marshalls,Target and Banana Republic. I find most of my clothes at these stores. I get a lot of "shopping dollars" for using my Visa card (from Gap & Banana Republic) at other places. I make sure to pay my weekly expenses that I normally would buy and in turn I get free money! I generally just keep an eye open wherever I go and luckily I always find a deal as well.</div>

I love dressing up and getting ready for the day. Regardless of whether or not I am heading out to dinner with my family or just running errands. It helps me feel better about myself and ready to take anything on! I also like to make sure Gabriel is also ready with his outfits as well. I am not a fan of ever going out with him in PJ's! </div>

This edition of Mommy & Munchkin is an extra special one! Kimiko, owner of Honor's Boutique, is an awesome mother and entrepreneur spreading her love for fashion through stylish baby wear! Coming across her business Instagram page and seeing how her little baby Honor sports her turbans, I just knew this feature had to happen quick and fast! </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">How did you come up with Honor's Boutique? What inspired you?</span></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> I came up with the idea of turban beanies first, back in July/August of last year, just a few months after I had Honor. It really all started by my desire to have a cute beanie for her since it was cooling down at night and most of the baby beanies out just weren't cutting it for me. So I went to the fabric store and bought 2 yards of two different fabrics and made a matching set for Honor and I. Once I made them, I got so many compliments on them and everyone was wondering if I could make more available for purchase. So after all of the amazing feedback I got, I eventually decided (in a few months time) to really make something of the turbans and open up an Etsy shop. In the beginning I didn't think much of it and thought it would just be a cute hobby, but it has turned into something much more than that for me. Now I'm doing something that I really enjoy doing, that I never knew I could be really good at.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> Yes! Even though I own a headwear boutique, I still do shop at other stores for clothes for Honor. I love putting together a cute little outfit with one of my headband creations! Some of the places I shop for her are: Macy's, Babies r Us, Zara, Gap Kids, and Old Navy.</span></div>

<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> My own personal style is honestly just plain, and bland. I religiously wear leggings a cami and a cute shawl or sweater for the most part. Though I don't pay much attention to my wardrobe, I'm the complete opposite when it comes to Honor. I love playing dress up with her and putting her in cute little outfits. She's always dressed better than me! Lol - that's how it should be right?! I'm not one to really spend the money on keeping myself trendy. But with her, I go nuts!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> I think that my favorite part about motherhood is knowing that I'm needed by someone for everything. To know that by simply picking Honor up to hold her makes her whole world change. To see how much of an impact I hold in her life has to be the most rewarding thing ever. I never knew how much "power" a mother holds until I became one myself. To be able to console her in a rough time, or just put a huge smile on her face by looking at her has to be the best feeling ever. </span></div>

A genuine mommy friend in her own right, Cosette takes extreme pride as a mother. Her daughter Victoria is just the cutest and a stylish reflection of her mother: </div>

I love dressing myself in basics and accessorizing as much as I can. While I like to save my pennies I also do invest in special pieces in my wardrobe because I am in the legal field and I manage a law firm's PR so my image is very important. For special long term pieces I do shop at Nordstrom, Macy's and H&M. At these stores I find great items for Victoria and investment timeless pieces for myself."</span></div>

I worked retail for years and I learned that it's just a waste of money when you buy full price for anything. I can go months without purchasing something because I refuse to pay full retail price. In Victoria's case I shop ahead of her size. Always the next size up and I scout clearance racks at Target, Kohls, Old Navy and Macy's.

Additionally, I am a nursing mom and work at home and it's easy to fall into the sweats and t-shirt kind of 'style' but I refuse to waste my clothes and fabulous shoes in the closet. So for now my style just consists of a LOT of accessories so I can remove pieces and adapt to the situation. Victoria on the other hand, has always had her glamorous style since she was born. My mother always said pearls and heels before </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1391504377" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">10:00 AM</span></span> and so we do. I try to follow that everyday with my daughter as well, so no matter what we have planned for the day she is always dressed ready to take on the world. I am a shoe lover, but let's be real her shoes never stay on so I resort to a lot of headbands for now to create that twist on her wardrobe. I strangely feel she has actually influenced my style. When I started becoming a professional in the legal field my wardrobe became so boring. Nowadays, thanks to my work at home I have re-discovered pink, yellow, bright green, glitter and all the fun things I was missing in my life. Sometimes I let her wardrobe inspire mine and I have fun coordinating our outfits. Somehow though, she always looks more put-together than I do, after all somebody needs to wash the dishes and her clothes!"</span></td></tr>

I have a friend to dance with, play with, listen to music with, work out, and do all the things I love. It is amazing how much my life has changed since she arrived.

Hello Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I get a lot of questions about my skin and what I do to take care of it. I appreciate you all for the wonderful compliments, but my skin has been a work in progress since I was a young girl. From my mother helping me get over my bout of eczema to now working with Sephora as a color artist, I have developed a wide knowledge about what works on my skin and what doesn't work so well. Skincare is not my strong suit, but I know what helps relieve my super dry, parched skin and I believe any skin type could benefit from this video. </div>
