I admit it was a bit hard to keep all the outfits office friendly, but a huge favorite at the workplace had to be the florals skirt look and the black dress from Press Fashions with the detailed sleeves. For the month of September and in honor of fashion week, the #ootd's will revolve around off-duty dressing. Should be fun! Now any favorites from this month that are more your style?

Here we go September!

The Wolfpack: August Update

Thankfully, lots of beach trips were made this month. Also note to self, must create a shorter wolfpack list for next summer. Since summer isn't over until the 21st might as well keep this wolfpack going. I'm even contemplating creating a shorter list for the seasons of fall, winter, and spring. If you're looking for fun NYC things to do during those seasons let me know and I'll start creating one for fall. 

3. Go to a baseball game

Sorry too dark for pics during this one vv
16. Dance it out at Summerstage + Celebrate Brooklyn!

24. BEACHES! At least 25 times BEACHES

27. MUST watch the summer screenings with friends (WHAT A VIEW!)

30. Bike rides through the hoods is a given, especially the scenic ones

Pretty active August to make up for the lack of fun in July. Ughhh, can I please haz six more months of summer!? Well, regardless,  follow for more wolfpack realness on Instagram (@thestyleboro).

Favorite Products for Kinky Curly Hair

My curly hair is both a blessing and a curse. At the tender age of 7 I was nicknamed Chia Pet and loathe my curls which later led to an impromptu bathroom session which further branded me as a real live Chia Pet. I also went the route of straightening my hair during my teens years to escape the kinks. It would take two hours plus to straighten my thick hair - I gave that up very quickly as well. It wasn't until my "wild hair" caught the eye of an agency, that I started to like my curls. It made me stand out and once I figured out the rhythm to which my curls bounced life became easier. For those of you looking for the perfect potion to help untie your beautiful manes I will gladly share mine.

The top curl contenders for me are DevaCurl No Poo Quick Cleanser, Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Conditioning Treatment, and Sebastian Potion 9 Styling Cream. See the rest down below.

And if you're interested in how I style my hair let me know and I'll quite possibly create a youtube video.
