OPI Euro Centrale Collection

eurocentrale

What female doesn’t love nail polish? Don’t worry I’ll wait! I look forward to the different nail lacquer collections that come out seasonally, especially from OPI and Essie’s. OPI is on to it’s next European collection which has become one of my favorites after releasing their Holland and Germany lines last year. The Euro-Centrale collection is no different, with it’s wide range of bold and pastel shades.

 Some of my favorite colors in this line are OY-Another Polish Joke!, My Paprika is Hotter Than Yours, Can’t Find My Czechbook, You’re Such A BudaPest, and OPI… Eurso Euro. I have to get these! I usually buy a couple of shades from each OPI collection that’s released, but I’m seriously thinking about checking EBay or Amazon for this full collection so I can have them all. They’re all so different, it’s hard to only pick a few! Are you feeling the latest OPI line? Which shades are made for you?

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

myhaircut

Guess who went and got a new look?? That’s right I had to switch it up again! Most of you already knew I cut my hair since I’m an Instagram addict lol but I thought I’d post a blog anyway. I’m the type of person who has to go through with something once I’ve put the thought in my head and it was no different with getting this cut. I was kind of iffy at first because I didn’t want to get a relaxer, but the last time I cut my hair I ended up getting one that didn’t take so I was still mostly natural. I’ve been wanting to try something different with my hair for a while now and even considered getting a sew in. I’m not really one to put a lot of money into my hair, so the latter option wasn’t really for me.

[Boss Chic Interview] A Chat with Jazmyn

image (27)

What’s up team?? I’m so excited to reveal to you all my new brilliant, creative, & FLY assistant Jazmyn! I had been following Jazmyn for quite some time on twitter and IG and immediately fell in love with her sense of style and her individuality. You know I’m all about being different, standing out, and doing your own thing so of course Jazmyn naturally caught my eye. Well come to find out, like myself Jazmyn is an Aquarius to the T which explains why we have so much in common and both follow the beat of our own drums.

Then awhile later Jazmyn released a few spoken word poems that made me love her even more. I’ve always been interested in the arts and wanted to dabble in poetry myself, but it’s just not something that works for me lol. However, Jazmyn has IT. Whatever IT is can be found in her. There’s just no other way to put it. Every time I hear one of her poems I’m captivated from beginning to end, and she leaves me in awe. I seriously admire anyone with an artistic talent, well GIFT is better suited I believe.

I sat down with Jazmyn last week and got in her head a little about what makes her who she is, what influenced her poetry, and what she wants in life. Check out excerpts from our conversation below as well as a gallery of some of Jazmyn’s different looks (one of the many reasons I think she’s so dope!). Hope you enjoy, we had fun in the process :)

What's In My Bag?

I was reading another blog that I follow and came across this unique idea and had to share! It’s like one of those chain blogs where you’re supposed to pass it along, showing what’s in your purse. First of all I have been carrying the same BCBG bag for like three years straight now. This bag was given to me and I love it so much I can’t put it down. I mean the inside stitching in the bottom is completely gone and the whole nine, it’s tragic smh. I definitely need to upgrade lol! #dontjudgeme

Now getting to what’s in my bag… what’s not in there? Here goes:

Boss Chic Rih Debuts River Island & MAC Collections

rihfoRI

What’s up bosses and boss chics! Today is our girl Rihanna’s 25th birthday! While she’s out in Hawaii living the good live, I’m stuck at work lol. I would trade places with her best friend Mel any day, I mean Rih is already my best friend in my head as is :)

Not only is Rihanna celebrating her birthday, but I’m sure she’s also celebrating all these new endeavors she has going on. Rihanna debuted her collection with River Island this past Friday at London’s Fashion Week which will be released on March 5th. On top of that, she just announced on her Instagram that she is releasing her own collection with MAC! How exciting is that for both her and her fans? Now I will say that some of Rih’s pieces for the River Island collection are a bit ratchet lol, but these are of her personal taste and we know she can pull off anything! However, from what I can see I know I definitely will be making a few purchases from her MAC line!

Below you can check out a few pics of Rihanna’s new Mac collection, the looks from her Spring and Summer collections with River Island, as well as a couple pics from her Hawaii birthday vacation! Take a look after the break and let us know what you think about Rih’s newest lines!

What’s up bosses and boss chics! We are one day away from Friday finally! I decided to switch up my hair yesterday because I had been wearing it straightened out for the past two weeks. I try not to put heat to my hair too often to avoid potential breakage, not to mention I really enjoy practicing natural hairstyles on my hair so I experiment often.

I was introduced to the Dollar Tree rollers by a friend from high school. She posted a pic to her IG when she tried them, but her curls came out tighter than mine. Of course I had to try this once she told me where she got the rollers from, and I was immediately impressed at how effortless this hairstyle is.

If you’re interested in trying this, just go purchase a few packs of the smallest sponge rollers from your local Dollar Tree. I’m currently using all As I Am natural hair care products. I used the twisting crime on each strand and just rolled my hair all over. Don’t worry if they’re not neat, they will still turn out pretty once you take them out. If you decide to try it, post a pic to your IG or twitter and tag us @BossChicFiles! Have a happy Thursday!
