September has truly become one of my favorite months. Not only is it the month of fashion but it's the start of a new season…a season of change, and change is beautiful. So, as we adjust to the weather and welcome the cozy vibes why not do it in style with a glass of wine or a nice cup of hot cocoa, a little shot of Bailey’s and some current fashion documentaries to get you inspired. I promise you won't be disappointed! The Super Models (on Apple Tv) This fashion documentary is a 4-part series on how the 90's fashion models started out and how they got to where they're at now in an industry that was inclusive and reluctant to change. I really love how they didn't shy away from talking about the racism and exclusion that was going on back then in the fashion industry. I especially love how Naomi stood her ground and instead of the other models turning a blind eye they stood up for her and used their power to make sure she was recognized and included as well.
Hey babes and happy Tuesday! So with all the craziness going on in the world, as a black woman my heart has been feeling extra heavy lately and I'm sure yours has too. That being said, sometimes you just need a minute to detox, regroup and treat yourself to a little "me time". With everything going on including us being on lockdown for the past few months, these times have allowed us girls to get creative when it comes to our beauty regimens. Although businesses are slowly starting to reopen now, some of us aren't quite ready to take that chance yet. One of the biggest beauty trends I have been seeing all across the internet, has been the popular demand for press on nails. That's right girls... PRESS ON NAILS! You remember? When you were too young to have long nails so you went to the nearest beauty supply store to buy you some press ons, tryna be grown(okay maybe that was my childhood) lol, but anyway these aren't your average press ons!
