Before you die you want to.....????

Who's style do you admire most?(Can be anyone!! Not just someone

famous) and Why??

I love Jeannie Mai's style. She extremely feminine but has some edge to her with her blue hair and tattoos. I adore her!

Are there any blogs or websites that you follow for inspiration? If so who??

I love Style & Poised, Jeimy's Fashion Love Affair, and Naja Diamond along with a lot others. But these 3 fashion bloggers shows you how to be fashionable without breaking the bank.

Describe your blog or website what should your followers expect from you??

You know when you see someone well dressed and they have this richness about them? They’re just clean, polished, and everything seems effortless? Well that’s the style I appreciate. That’s my sense of style. Not too flashy, definitely not over the top, just simply well put together. Of course one's style isn’t just about the clothes. That’s the bare minimum. There are Layers of Style.
Fashion, makeup, hair, interior decor, cuisine, music…..the list goes on. Follow my blog as I touch on all things interesting to the most feminine woman, you know, us girly girls

What can people expect from you in the future?(Blogs,Projects,etc...)

I want to take my blog Layers of Styles to the next level. I would love to do interviews and cover events

What is your favorite Quote and what does it mean to you??

I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes. -Oprah Winfrey
I just love Oprah. When you follow your dreams and stay focused amazing
things will happen but just make sure to stay humble.

Ok Guys I hope you guys enjoyed the interview make sure you connect with Miss Alicia!

My Senegalese Twist

Hi Loves I hope everyone is having a great Monday so far. Ok this post will be about my new hair I am going to give you the Pros and the Cons about my hair!
Ok First Hair info and How long was the process:
10 bags Rasti Afro Kanekalon Hair
(I took my hair to the braider a day in advance and she had to do something special with the hair)
The process took 2 days.The reason why it took longer than normal is because we stopped laughed,played,went to the movies and out to eat in between doing my hair no lie! LOL
Pros about the Twist: I love the Hair this hair does not shed which I am amazed by. I mean its not Virgin Indian hair or anything...LOL but its a great brand
Very easy to maintain.
Very easy to wash.
I get compliments EVERYDAY about my hair! LOL
Protects my hair from heat each and everyday.
Cons about the twists:
#1 its all my fault the braids are very heavy to me I have 1,000 braids right now and I am always trying to wear them in a bun at the top of my head and it makes my neck hurt! LOL
Other than that I absolutely LOVE these braids and NO I did not get my braids because Beyonce had some...I got them because I thought they would be SUPER DUPER CUTE! LOL
If you have any further question about the Hair or who braided my hair feel free to contact me @ iHeartTknight@gmail.com
Until Next Time Stay Blessed
XOXO
