SNEAKERS FOR WOMEN
SPRING/SUMMER 2021
Spring has officially sprung and the fashion is giving everything it’s suppose to give. Pastels are a Spring staple and this year’s standout is Green both color wise and environmentally. Lime, mint, & seafoam are the shades in particular that speaks to this season’s trend.
FLOJO FOREVER
For nearly twelve years of my life, track was my life. I can remember the feeling of nervousness the night before a meet, waking up at 6AM to get ready for an all day meet, & the anxiety that came along with waiting for your event to start. Sitting in the blocks, heart about to beat out of your chest. That last 100m in the 400m where you feel like your legs are jello.
STUDY HALL
In my previous post, I briefly touched on how I choose locations. I always default to shooting in locations that scream NYC which is authentic to who I am but also can be a bit lazy. New York has so many dope locations, many of which are overused (I’m guilty of this). Lately, I’ve been challenging myself to think outside what’s directly in front of me and give the girls range. One way to do this is by creating a color story.
EGGPLANT
Nike recently released a new design for their Air Max 270 Reacts. This version is called ENG and the first women’s colorway is in 🍆. If you’re unfamiliar with the design, it’s Nike’s first lifestyle Air Max combined with the “softest, smoothest and resilient foam” of the Nike React.
WASH DAY
Socks are probably my favorite accessory. I remember as a kid my family would make fun of me for wearing them all the time but particularly when I would wear them during the summer and to bed. It was mainly for comfort I guess, they felt good!
THRIFTED TINGS
My love for thrifting started back in college - I was young, creative, & super experimental with my style. The thrift store opened me up to a world no retail store could ever do at the moment.
NO PLACE LIKE BROOKLYN
If you don't know anything else about me you know that I am from Brooklyn, and I never miss an opportunity to let people know that "I'm from Brooklyn" (my fellow Brooklynites feel me!)
#CHANDON SQUAD
I had the opportunity to attend the Who What Wear x Chandon's Superwoman Power Hour with special guests, designer Rebecca Minkoff, Chandon's winemaker Pauline Lhote, VP of talent Rachel Zeilic, & Bumble's Director of Content Strategy Andee Olson.
THAT 70’S SHOW
No matter how often my style evolves I still make my way back to the one style era that's true to my heart - the 70s! It was an era of revolution and liberation. Whether you identify with the hippie movement or a more radical group like the Black Panthers, there's no denying the impact the 60's/70's had on our culture.
COACHELLA FITS
It's that time of the year again - music festival season! If you're anything like me, you love music, fashion, and getting your life, so what better place to do all 3 than at a music festival.
COLD WEATHER BODY CARE
Fall is finally here which means it's time to switch up our skincare routine. Cold weather not only dries your hair out but your skin as well.
MY SIGNATURE FRO
Over the years I’ve tried countless hairstyles - from braid-outs to twist-outs and even bantu knots but what constantly remains the same is my fro.
TIPS TO HELP FIGHT HUMIDITY & FRIZZ
One of the biggest questions I get, as far as my natural hair is concerned, is how do I maintain my BIG hair during the hot humid summer months. This is actually a really good question.
NOLA
I travelled to New Orleans a few weeks ago for the infamous Essence Festival and I couldn't miss an opportunity to take photos in the architecturally and aesthetically pleasing French Quarter.
