Life Of A Fashion Blogger

 What's going on my fellow beauty lovers and Happy Friday Eve, I hope that you all are doing well and are to enjoying the well-deserved weekend that you all worked for.  I've been a fan of Urban Skin for the longest time, and after reading Rachel Roff's story, I knew that I wanted to support her and her brand. Growing up in Northern California, where at an early age she experienced intense bullying due to being overweight, struggling with acne, and brandishing a large, precancerous nevus mole on her face. For Rachel, getting a college degree was important; however, her experiences also fueled a growing passion to become a medical aesthetician and open a medical spa. She attended the University of San Francisco and later moved to Charlotte, NC, where she attended the University of North Carolina at Charlotte for Sociology. In 2003, Rachel only waited one week after college before attending the National Aesthetics Institute of Charlotte. With a desire to treat her friends and...

 We finally meet again fashion lovers, and I couldn't be happier. I hope that you all have enjoyed your weekend and having a great work week.  Since it's Hispanic Heritage Month, I need to tell you guys about one of my favorite designers, Gabriela Hearst. I remember seeing her designs in a fashion magazine a few years ago and fell in love with her designs. Born in Uruguay, Gabriela Hearst grew up on her family’s 17,000-acre ranch, Santa Isabel in Paysandu, surrounded by horses, cattle, and sheep, where the notion of luxury meant things were beautifully crafted and made to last. Gabriela attended the British School in Montevideo and studied Communications at the O.R.T. University of Uruguay. After more than a decade spent in design in New York, Gabriela honored her family’s heritage through the launch of her eponymous label in Fall 2015, as well as taking over the operations of her father’s ranch in Uruguay. Gabriela wanted to create a brand that reflects a slower pace and proc...

 Hello again my fellow beauty lovers, I hope that you are enjoying your Friday Eve and preparing yourselves to have an amazing weekend.  It's no secret that I love nail polish, but when it's a nail polish brand that is Black Woman Owned, it's even better. I was on my favorite Instagram page, Black Owned Everything. and I saw a nail polish brand that was featured, 9th And Maxwell, so I went to their website and I need every single color that they offer on their website.  Woven into the framework of 9th & Maxwell has a passion for quality nail polish and a mission to redefine what it means to look good and feel good.  They formulated cruelty-free and nontoxic polishes, free of formaldehyde, parabens, phthalates, toluene, formaldehyde resin, DBP, camphor, xylene, and ethyl tosylamide. Plus, a portion of each purchase goes towards scholarships for minority youth and grants for aspiring entrepreneurs. After all, it does take a village, as the African proverb goes. Thi...

 I swear Tuesday could not get here fast enough. Hello, my Fashion lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well and had an amazing weekend. I came to know about Isabel Marant when I was in high school, I remember seeing one of her collections in a magazine that I was reading and fell in love with every piece that I saw, but not only that, but her story is so inspiring as well. In 1989, when Isabel Marant launched Twen, her first knitwear, and jersey brand, at the age of 22 years old, She held her first show in her own name in 1995 in the courtyard of a squat, with her friends as models. Barely three years later, she opened her first boutique in an old artists’ workshop. Her historic location is still on rue de Charonne, in the Bastille district. It was her love of clothing and materials that live and move that brought her to Studio Berçot, never to leave it. While some dream of iconic women in glossy magazines, she dresses women for their real lives (Something that I look for in c...

 Happy Friday Eve everyone, I hope that all of you are doing well and are ready to enjoy your weekend. I don't know about you but I'm really have been enjoying a self-care day on a weekend and recharge my batteries.  As we all know, I have a love, an obsession with Nail Polish. I love polishing my own real nails because I simply can't be bothered with somebody polishing my nails in fear of them looking messed up. I can buy 3,4, maybe 5 bottles of nail polish at a time and I don't feel bad about it at all. My self-care routine includes me doing my nail, it makes me feels great to take care of myself, and nail polish is my war paint.   There's a new nail polish brand that I want to tell you all about and I think that you will love them, I came to know about them when I was reading a magazine and I saw the Rugged Beauty Nail Polish brand and I love everything about them. They designed their brand to represent the expectations, values, and lifestyles of the women wh...

I've missed you guys so much, I'm so happy to be back here with you all again. I hope that all of you have enjoyed your weekend to the fullest.  I really have been enjoying finding new sustainable Fashion Brands, I try my best to find more ways to be sustainable in the Fashion world, whether it's thrifting or finding new ways to wear my existing clothing so that I won't harm Mother Earth even more than I already do. I was reading the September issue of Instyle Magazine, and I saw a pair of Biker shorts from a brand that I never heard of before, so I went to the website and I was impressed with the founder's story.  Lauren Chan's spent her career as a fashion editor advocating for size inclusion but despite doing everything in her power to make the industry more inclusive, She has never felt completely welcome. (Such a horrible feeling to have in the Fashion Industry.) Whether she was a size 14 trying to fit into the tiny seats at fashion shows or a size 20 tryin...

 Hello, again beauty lovers, and Happy Friday Eve to all of you. I hope that you all are having a great day and trying to make it to Friday.  I know that many of you have heard of Teami, It's a health website that sells teas and powders that are beneficial to your and many celebrities have promoted them all on social media. The co-founder & CEO, Adi Arezzini, started having health issues at the age of 23 after her military service. Addicted to coffee, exhausted, constipated, and bloated, Adi’s digestive system just stopped working. In search of an alternative to drugs or medicine, Adi read books about colon health and the negative effects accumulated toxins can have on your body. Adi started blending her own high-quality loose leaf tea until she created the perfect formulation to help solve her own digestive issues. I try to detox my skin at least once a week and when I saw The Green Tea Detox Clay Mask, I knew I wanted to try it out for myself. Their mineral-rich Green Te...

 I believe that this is the first time that I ever did three blog posts ever on my blog, and I'm here for it to be quite honest with you all.  I've been really leaning towards sneakers lately, not because I don't like wearing heels, I do. But my left foot swells a lot so much, in fact, sometimes, it doesn't even look like I have an ankle at all. I need support so my ankle can be comfortable. I was on YouTube a few weeks ago, and I saw this new shoe brand that I've never heard of before, so I went on to their website and I was impressed with the quality of their shoes. Frankie 4 is an innovative fashion label changing the way women experience shoes. Our mission is to take wellness to the next level with award-winning, Podiatrist-designed support for game-changing comfort in every cleverly cushioned step. Our shoes are taking women further. Healthily empowering them with the confidence to kick goals at home, work, and play. More human than a brand, they spoil their cu...

 I believe, no, I know that I'm a closeted shoe lover and I make ABSOLUTELY no apologies about it at all.  I talked about the Youtuber, Brittany Christina last week in a blog post and she made a video talking about Black Luxury Fashion Brands, and she talked in great detail about the brand, Keeyahri. I went to the website and the attention to the details of the heel of the shoes is something that I knew I wanted to tell you guys about.   Feathers, faux fur, pops of color, curious shapes, architectural concepts, and innovative designs.  Keeyahri is a shoe label focused on building up the confidence of the shoe wearer every step of the way. Founder and Artistic Director Keya Martin swapped out her corporate career for a more rewarding one in fashion with an emphasis on luxury footwear for the confident woman. Her journey has pushed her to embrace the shoemaking process while rewriting and redefining the rules of shoe design. After establishing a name for herself w...
