Introduce yourself!
R: I’m Raven Roberts from Los Angeles, CA and I’m a Wardrobe Stylist and Fashion Blogger.
What is your style philosophy?
R: Wear what you like and own it.
How would you describe your sense of style?
R: I enjoy combining vintage pieces with high end pieces. I love thrift and vintage shopping.
What is the process of deciding what to wear in the morning?
R: I usually check the weather and go from there. Sometimes I have a piece that I will work the rest of my outfit around.

How long have you been natural?
R: Almost 4 years.
How and why did you transition into natural hair?
R: I started perming my hair again when I moved to the humid climate of Florida, and I always knew I’d return to natural hair once I moved from Tallahassee. So after my 25th birthday I decided I had had my last perm. I “transitioned” for about 2 months, then big chopped on Aug 10, 2010.
