I finally took the plunge… I got my first weave!!! It’s a sew-in.

I used Milky Way Saga Gold Remy Yaky, it’s 14″ in a #2… I really love the hair. It’s so soft!

I am still getting used to it, but it’s only been 2 days.

The lovely Kiesha Smith at Simply Raw Salon hooked it up for me.

I have come to love a big bag! As I got older… my bags got bigger lol. I was so anti-purses in college and then I slowly came around. I love to keep a good everyday bag, so yesterday I picked up this great slouchy hobo bag from Express.

They have a great coupon going for $30 off $75 (or $15 off $30) so now is a good time to snag some goodies. [print the coupon]

I was drawn to the color because is was so soft and light… They didn’t have the gunmetal color in the store but I do love that one too.

It’s HUGE! I’m posting a pic of me holding it so you can see just how big it its. It’s a hobo bag so it’s loose and roomy  but of course that means little things can get lost in there. lol.

It’s $49.50 but with the coupon you can pick up more and pay less… gotta love that.
