... All Things Ankara



I find myself running back to the city a lot at the weekend, its tall rise buildings, edgy flair and ever present touches of modernism have become a lot more homelike and comforting to me than the suburban area where I've grown up and currently live. Home will always be home so I appreciate my local eyebrow threading lady, small talk with neighbours and the odd and occasional bumping into an old class mate or teacher situation...  but there's something special and refreshing about the City and what we all know as.... Central London

My plans for the weekend which of course on this blog are usually referring to H-A-I-R, went awfully wrong! My twist out was a success but my hand molding hair style skills were not, hence why I threw on my fave Ankara print fabric and decided not to get stressed out by the not so good hair day! You know the ones that have you thinking the only solution is the blow dryer?! [The devil is a liar!!!] [don't you love the things African parents say?!]

So here I am Ankara loving, heat free hair repping... enjoying another London river view! P.s. I've not used a drop of heat in over 9 weeks now!!! Feels so darn good y'all!!!


What are you all up to? Any weekend plans?

  6. Stunning pictures, I know those moments when the hair isn't behaving. I do enjoy the weekend trips up to London even though the Mayor is messing with my oyster prices. Why so expensive!!

    Love the shoes and damn girl eyebrows look nice!
