We all have that one song that instantly gets us hype and relieves all of our stress, right? My new song is Bodak Yellow! For some reason it took me a minute to get hip, but I've been blasting it all week long and I feel unstoppable! I seriously feel so inspired listening to this song, like I need to go somewhere and get my bands up, cut off my (nonexistent) boyfriend, buy a new wig, and go out for a drink with my girls! Thank you Cardi ❤️ -Comment Below and let me know what your hype song is!

I found this Asian-inspired dress at my local Goodwill last week and honestly, I didn't do anything except make the slit higher because it's already so pretty! This dress was included in my first photoshoot also and like I said...pics coming soon! Stay tuned :)
Soo... another year has passed by where I have not been able to attend Afropunk Fest. And while this does make me sad inside, my heart just warms up at the pictures of what those who did attend wore. I swear every time I see pics from Afropunk there are at least a couple looks that make me gasp and question what my life is. Like honestly, seeing Black people express themselves in the ways of fashion, you will see soooo many different things, and the creativity never ceases to amaze me! So anyway, here are some of my favorite looks from Afropunk Brooklyn 2017, via the internets!
One thing I always look forward to when visiting my grandma (who I call Mugga) is breaking out the old family photo albums. Not only do I look to take in the memories and learn about family members I've never met, more than anything else, I look at the clothes! Being the fashion -slash- history nerd that I am, I can't help but take in every detail of the silhouettes, fabrics, colors, and other style factors of the times. Besides, nothing speaks through pictures like an outfit; that's what tells the story, and gives the vibe of the time and place in which the photo was taken. Looking at these old pictures I can tell how smooth my great-grandfather was, or how classy my grandma has always been. I can only hope the pictures my grandkids and great-grandkids find of me will be as intriguing.
