HairsFresh

I keep things from you, oh fine readers of The Right Style. I keep lots of things from you. For example, about two weeks ago, I got a hair cut. Quite a dramatic haircut, actually. I cut my hair allllllll the way off. Now, if you've known me for any length of time, you'll know that I'm not afraid of scissors. I first cut all of my hair off when I was 16 years old. This was about 13 (gasp) years ago, before Black women fully mobilized around the cult of natural hair. I remember walking into the salon fully intending to get a touch-up on my relaxer and asking for my … [Read more...]

It's Saturday and it could be used as a day for pure maxing and relaxing. That's what I usually do. Kerri is nothing if she is not relaxed. But today, I will work! Fortunately, I can do the kind of work that allows me to write and draw and be creative so it's not SO much of a sacrifice.

My Fashion Week, Part 1

Last month was one of the most fashionable months on the calendar. If you’ve been keeping up, the fashion elite all converged in New York, Milan, Berlin, London and Paris to watch the world’s top supermodels and the top designers premiere their collections for the upcoming season. But for some reason or another, I was not invited to participate in any of the festivities (strange, I know) so I took it upon myself to make the month of September as fashionable as possible. When the president of your company comes to town, it is mandatory that you pull out all of the … [Read more...]

You might remember when we had that chat about the business of Beauti. It was a good one...I remember it fondly. I was telling you all about the importance of marketing yourself and your business and presenting a unified front across your personal and professional lives-- something that is a ONE HUNDRED PERCENT must when you're a sole proprietor like me. I showed you the delightful cards that I created for my mother and her team and everything... I was in business, but I was in business for everyone else and not myself! Ooops. BeautiControl renewed and totally … [Read more...]

20Work

Living in the world of trying to maintain a work/life balance, it is easy to view the work bit as an obligation-- a necessary evil there to finance the "life" part of your life. But think about it-- most of us live a huge chunk of our lives at work and interact with people who are able to easily influence the direction of our lives, so why not put a little extra thought into how we dress from 9-5? I love how the article highlights two different types of working girls (I can say that, right?): the lady who works in the conservative office and the gal who has more … [Read more...]
