Urban Fashionista

Hey Beauties, Hope you are loving the life you are living. Because ultimately, that's what life is really all about right? I wish I had known this earlier on in my adulthood. It's funny how we are conditioned to do what society defines. Following that straight and narrow path. Walking the fine lines of either black or white. Staying well within the confines of that square box. The box that others provided us, I might add. Truth be told, life really begins when we push the envelope by stepping way outside of that box.

Black & Yellow

My approach to style is pretty simple. Present your best self and attempt to deliver with sophisticated excellence. I often get asked to describe my personal style and I've gotta be honest, it usually took me a long time to firmly come up with an answer. Why? Because I was so desperately searching for that signature aspect of my style that quite frankly didn't exist. It wasn't the classic red lips. It wasn't the classic cateye sunnies. The hair. The silhouette. Signature style doesn't have to reflect the same. It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to look the same day-to-day. Some people choose a more refined and specific look; like the younger Janelle Monae or a look that is...
