T’was a cool Fall night in West Hollywood, not too hot and not too cold… unless you count the hot ass models serving cold as ice looks down the runway. Oowwww! Style Fashion Week is upon us in Los Angeles! After the international shows have came and went, the West Coast scene is taking the stage showcasing some of the best in the west; so far so fierce!
Awww shoot you THOUGHT I was jumping on that “man crush Monday” bandwagon! Gotcha! Did I getcha? Anyways, not quite man crushing but magic crushing! And this one goes out to none other than the lovely Mrs. Solange Knowles whose expression of flawless personal style is beyond words… So here are some photos!
I was recently introduced to a newer startup of a live streaming website called Sonic Box catered to independent LA based artists (mostly musicians) to connect with people all over the world, spread self-awareness, inspire and relate to other fellow creatives/enthusiasts. Automatically I fell in love with the idea and the people involved, not to mention it is paaaiidd? Umm, YAS!
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m a pretty big window shopper… if you aren’t into being slightly tortured it may not be for you; but it’s a great way to get a fashion fire burning in your heart/mind/under dat ass. After brunch with my girls yesterday we popped over to Opening Ceremony for some visual dessert and a little inspiration! Well it was my visual dessert, the girls had some delicious looking cheesecake that I low-key salivated over (I’m vegan) but it’s all good cause fashion satisfies my cravings more than any scrumptious bite ever could! *cries one single tear*
It’s always been my preference to create my own path and not try to fit any particular mold, especially in the area of my creativity. While I’ve always had my admirations in favors of certain designers/creative’s I’ve really never been one of those people who’ve wanted to I guess “follow in the footsteps” or purposefully recreate similar situations in my own career path or ways that I proceed. I’m very independent and rebellious in that sense…. And let’s be perfectly honest, I can be a lil ig’nant.
What do you call a heard of unicorns? A blessing. Over this past weekend was the 12th annual Afropunk Music Festival in Brooklyn New York where the gathering of unicorns blessed us all with their presence. Remember that time I asked where my non-conforming fashionably fearless ass people at? They were at Afropunk Festival, representin’ and holdin’ it down. The fashion! Ohh the fashion!
Alright so I told myself and some of you I was gonna just keep this on a weekly post basis to not over do it on the blogging, however as a new blogger I find myself having a few antsy’s in my pantsy’s and wanting to post something all the time… Like everyday. It’s too much. I’m gonna try my best to have some boundaries while keeping a steady flow goin on here and try to only post about once a week, but I’m like “f*** that!” cause I want to have some sweet reads for y’all fine selves allllll da damn time! It’s a process guys I’m workin’ it out. Balance.
I’ve spent the last 3 weeks of my life in New York City, one of the fashion capitols of the world and was immediately faced with one of my greatest lessons I have recently been learning more than ever which is never to expect anything. Hooolllyy garbanzo beans was I in for an awakening.
Alas it is here! After years of ducking and dodging the digital social world (i.e. Jewel’s Intuition) we are inevitably consistently moving towards without wavier I’ve caved in…
