Black Owned Shoe Brand That You Need To Know About: Vaila Shoes.

Image
Hello everyone, and happy Sunday! I hope you’re all doing well during this snowstorm and staying as fashionable as possible. Today marks the start of Black History Month, and I want to share a shoe brand that caters to women with larger feet, like me. While scrolling through Instagram, I came across Vaila Shoes and loved how stylish and reasonably priced they were. I feel it's only right to spread the word about this brand so you can support this Black- and woman-owned business. Ahriana Edwards started Vaila Shoes out of frustration from never being able to find her shoe size in quality high heels. Having always had larger feet than the average woman, she spent years feeling left out, frustrated, and confused. Left out because the most stylish shoes rarely came in her size, frustrated because her size deserved as much attention as smaller ones, and baffled that fashion, despite becoming more inclusive, still overlooked the need for fashionable, high-quality heels in extended sizes....

Hello, beauty lovers! Wishing everyone a fantastic Friday and hoping you’re ready to enjoy the snowy weekend ahead. Cheekbone Beauty is an Indigenous-owned beauty brand I discovered while reading an issue of Allure Magazine. Browsing their website, I came across the Revive Hydrating Lip Balm and fell in love with how sheer it is—you can wear it with lip liner or on its own. And because I’m such a great friend, I just had to share this gem with you all. The Revive Hydrating Lip Balm is perfect for those who aren’t big on lip products but still want their lips to look and feel great. It combines the comfort of a balm, the nourishment of an oil, and a soft, flattering tint that enhances your natural lips without the mess, shine, or boldness of lipstick or gloss. Available in three shades, it’s priced at $24.00. https://www.cheekbonebeauty.com/products/revive-hydrating-lip-balm?utm_source=email&utm_medium=campaign&_kx=--n36F3zDH8luH_fhifQ2Q-kbrGv_xfHl2bYnlxU6kbK98GMRr_0wsqlMEEPhA6T...

On My Fashion Wishlist: Givenchy Snatch Bag.

Image
Greetings, fellow fashion enthusiasts! I hope everyone is doing well, stayed safe during the ice storm, and is enjoying a great start to the week. The Givenchy Snatch bag has become my latest handbag obsession ever since I first saw it in an email, and I just had to share it. Unfortunately, it’s already sold out on their website. The Snatch is a study in intimacy—a sensual piece that blends seamlessly into Sarah Burton’s ready-to-wear aesthetic: sculptural, feminine, and molded to the body. Its lines mirror the cinch of a jacket, the curve of a waist, the shape of a bra. The soft leather carries a subtle tension, as the bag pulls, cinches, and embraces. Made from soft calf-grain leather with a naturally tumbled finish, the exterior blends durability with an easy, fluid look. Inside, a contrasting nappa lining shows off an inside-out design, while a pop of colour from the lunetta detail appears when unzipped. An organic metal chain secures to angular zipper pullers, and small metal feet...

Hello again, beauty lovers! Hope you’ve all been doing well, had an amazing week, and are ready for whatever the weekend brings. I feel like the Hermes Barenia Eau De Parfum doesn’t get nearly enough attention in beauty spaces. A few months ago, I was flipping through a magazine and came across a sample of it. The moment I smelled it, I knew I wanted to share my excitement and add it to my collection. Perfumer Christine Nagel has crafted her first chypre fragrance for Hermès, a sensual scent with woody notes and unforgettable elegance. Barénia is a skin perfume that captures both strength and softness, embodying the many facets of an instinctive, captivating woman with a free spirit. Staying true to the classic chypre structure, Barénia eau de parfum blends butterfly lily with the delicate miracle berry, wrapped in oakwood and rich patchouli. Designed by Philippe Mouquet and inspired by the Collier de Chien bracelet, the bottle combines the boldness of domed pyramid studs with smooth e...
