Things to do in 2018

1. LAVENDER PICKING

Lavender is one of the most heavenly scents around and I'm super excited to visit a Lavender farm and engulf myself in what I'm sure will be an unforgettable experience. Peak blooming season is from June to August so you have time to plan :-0 iLuv the fact that most farms have Lavender honey (I love tea) Lavender Ice cream (I will have my lactaid with me) and Lavender infused wine (who wouldn't want to try that!)
Here are some picks to try

2018

Happy New Year and Congratulations! we made it to another year :-) And its a fresh start to living our best life (although you can reset and restart at any time) and with each new year there are promises and resolutions to living a better life myself included and I must say, although its a struggle to keep up with allllllll the promises and resolutions for the year, when you do or at least make an honest effort to, the payoff is so rewarding. This year Ive decided to compile a list of things that I will make an effort to do and I wanted to share it in case you needed some ideas. The list is random and in no particular order and as I do I will share, and if you choose to do anything off the list I would Luv to see by email folliclesandfashion@gmail.com or Instagram @folliclesandfashion

An Uber Chic Laundry

Growing up in Harlem I never liked going to the Laundromat, but with 4 siblings in the house at some point it was my turn to schlep up and down the avenue soap powder box on the side and all (ugh!).. but then my mother got washing machine from sears and the super came and hooked it up (and if you grew up in a tenement building you know that this was forbidden, because of the strict New York water restrictions) but to GOD be the glory! lol anyhoo fast forward and....
                           
                                                           "AN UBER CHIC LAUNDROMAT GROWS IN BROOKLYN"

Celsious, a NEW and modern eco conscious laundromat in Williamsburg, Brooklyn founded by sisters Corinna and Theresa Williams who moved to New York 5 years ago from Germany both with a fashion background, Corinna a Journalist and Theresa a designer (trained at Central Saint Martins in London, England)

Along side the electrolux washers and dryers, chemical free soaps (you pay for a wash and you get a free cup of environmentally safe detergent by The Simply Company) and water concious machines, is an outdoor patio

And an upstairs cafe serving organic Kombucha, baked goods and CAP beauty matcha drinks

So if you're in Brooklyn and still Schlepping to the laundromat 

go support these smart, amazing and talented sisters.

Keep up with them on instagram

Denim

Denim on denim used to be considered a faux pas, but these days anything goes here are some of my favorite denim combos.

London street style

Opposites attract, this look is uber chic and iLuv that the shorts and pants are the same shade of blue but different washes, this is how denim on denim should look for a cool vibe 

Gucci Street style

GUCCI

iLuv everything about this pic, the carefree vibe of the socks and sandals the square "church lady" shoes paired with the boyfriend jeans... just inLuv
