Hi Guys! O M G! Such a beautiful day, beautiful scenery and beautiful people! Green… Orange! Wood! Chh-Trees! Nature! Countryside-vibe ( ..almost).. A combination of the beach would just do it a 100. But I was definitely content with this 90% #GrrreatVibes
I know I have been M.I. A and I didn’t come with excuses, instead I ‘ll let you in to what have been doing or rather up to at the end of the post. 🙂
Did you know?
- Dark colors, especially black absorb lots of heat, while lighter colors don’t, they instead reflect heat . Therefore, it is only more protective you wear lighter colors
- When you wear darker and thick clothes in the summer, your skin might suffer underneath the clothes
- Finally, bright colors boost your energy and mood! ( Yass! :D)
Looking for colors to rock this summer? Yes! Don’t be afraid to rock these, you never know until you put these BRILLIANT colors on . Hmmm you can tell I also tried wearing a dark lipstick, I find that it works too. There are ongoing outdoor events this summer, you want comfort all the way. I encourage you to try throw in some colors here and there.
Here a quick chart to help you have fun color blocking
You don’t have to exactly match the items, you can switch them up e.g accessory as is, instead of a pink bracelet as shown on the chart, you can switch the item to perhaps pink top. I hope that makes sense
First off, I love it when color blocking loooooks good. I’ve never really owned a bright colored orange clothing item, but this one crop top wants to stay. I paired this with this blue patterned high waisted skirt and a white pair of sneakers. I also played around with wearing two different bright colored pair of socks,hmmmn why not? . And Yes hair got changed, and I’m loving it, lots of freedom come with box braids. I hear the braid club say “Yeea” Lol, trust me it is freeing . It’s definitely a protective hairstyle if you ever sought out for one.
Here we go! I’m wearing tangerine crop and navy blue skater skirt, if you look below it worked, even though i didn’t pair it asis on the chart, totally different, but works peerf!
Okay, on been Missing In Action ( a.k.a M.I.A)?
Life happened, I enjoy the creative process of innovation every time. Constant improvement is always key. And I hope it’s the case for everyone. I’m very interested in bringing real, relatable and genuine contents that is pratical. I’m definitely in NO COMPETITION with no one but MYSELF, and if you know what I mean it’s pretty tough in there already. That being said I’ll keep trying to update as often as possible. Oh Oh Instagram! wink* wink*I update on there @miz_coco, let’s find each other in that world too :-*
P.S- I hope these changes encourage you and leave you well fed and inspired, your comments are ALWAYS inspiring, throw them at the bottom of the post(s)

I love the colors you are wearing. Yes, some colors do require you to wear more sunscreen. But there are also fabrics that provide UV protections. Great post, dear! http://www.chicfromhair2toe.com/2013/07/what-is-upf-50-rating-and-why-should.html
Hey girl! Nice to see you posting again– you look absolutely amazing here! Colour blocking has got to be one of my fav trends; as I am obsessed with bright, vibrant colours and prints, your outfit is hugely appealing to me! Also loving your gorgeous hair!
So happy that we got to see each other again the other night even though we never got to hang out like we wanted to! I hope that we can finally meet up properly later this summer (when I'm back from Asia) or whenever we're both available 🙂
Keep on inspiring with your awesome style and advice!

Yes you are absolutely right, and I would encourage everyone going for darker colors to pick that option. I spoke in general what these colors actually do. But thank you for that tip, for pointing that out as some people don't know there are UV protected selections.
Too, that post was very helpful Nerline
