On My Beauty Wishlist: Louis Vuitton Spell On You Perfume

Image
 Hello Beauty Lovers, and Happy Friday Eve to all of you. I hope that all of you are doing well and ready to enjoy your weekend.  Louis Vuitton is known for their amazing fashions, but recently they've been releasing perfumes for a few years and I dream of having one on my vanity. I was reading the September/October issue of Essence Magazine and the Style and Beauty Editor, Blake Newby went to the South Of France with Louis Vuitton for their new fragrance, Spell On You. The description of this fragrance says that it is a magnetic iris conjuring the ecstasy of love, blending sensuality and lightness, Passionate love is the most exciting of all games. Oscillating between sensuality and complicity, that delicious tension inspired Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud to create a romantic, mischievous fragrance that becomes one with the skin. An ode to the iris pallida from Florence, its composition exalts the duality of a precious flower that symbolizes feminine seduct...

These Fall Boots Are Made For Walking

Image
 Well, hello again my fashion lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well and had an amazing weekend and a great start to your week.  Now that we're deep into Fall, Boots are going to be in full force in my wardrobe and I'm trying to not buy a million pairs of boots that I will not wear, It's a waste of time, effort, and money. I was reading the November issue of Instyle Magazine and I saw that there are four pairs of boots that I can see in my closet and I think that you will too.  I'm not going to lie to y'all, I had a fear of White boots. I always felt that it was not that cool for me to wear them out in public. But white boots are so chic, so stylish, and I think I need to buy a pair for my closet. I was on Lulu's website and I saw the Cut Off-White Vegan Leather Boots. I love that they are still are part of the White family but not as bright. These boots come in six other colors and the price for these is a very reasonable $54.00.  https://www.lulus.com/p...

 Another Thursday, another beauty blog post, another Friday Eve has come around. I hope that all of you have survived another week and ready to enjoy your weekend.  BH Cosmetics is one of my favorite affordable make-up brands because they offer great beauty products that won't break the bank. One day, I was on their website and I saw a new eyeshadow palette that sparked my interest, so I clicked on it and I fell in love with all of the colors in the palette. It's a breathtaking, vegan array of silky smooth mattes and lustrous shimmers in bronze and gold hues, rich browns and sunset neutrals. Each shade offers high-impact payoff and buildable intensity that will stay put through crystal blue beaches and charming cliffside villas. It has a array of bronze and gold hues with rich browns and sunset neutrals, a range of pigment-rich creamy mattes high-shine shimmers, another thing that I love is that they buildable, blendble, and long lasting and it looks good on any skintone as we...

Black Shoe Designer That You Need To Know About: Nalebe Official

Image
 Well, hello again my fashion lovers, I hope that all of you are having a great start to your week, and had an amazing weekend.  One day, I was on the Black Owned Everything Instagram page a couple of weeks ago and I saw a pair of shoes from a brand called Nalebe Official, they looked as if they belong in an overly priced department store, so I went on their website and was impressed by the quality of their shoes and the story of the brand.  Nalebe was founded with a desire to go beyond limitations. It was a product of a resilient spirit and lofty mission to offer uniquely designed women's shoes, offering comfort and style while setting the standards for confident and economically empowered customers.  Every idea or strategy to improve starts with a problem. Their business idea was born out of a life-changing experience by Amina Means, who sprained her ankle after an accident that left her unable to wear heels for three years with daily visits to physical therapy. Al...

On My Beauty Wishlist: Rucker Roots Anti-Frizz Silkening Growth Serum

Image
 Good Thursday and Happy Friday Eve to all of you. We have made it to another week and the weekend is right in front of us.  I was reading the September 2018 issue of Instyle Magazine and I read an article about Robin Roberts and she said that she used a product from Rucker Roots, so I went on their website and I fell in love with the company. The history of Rucker Roots runs deep. Dating back to the early 1980s, the Rucker sisters' mother used vegetables from the family garden along with oils, mayonnaise, eggs, and avocados to mixing up kitchen concoctions to include in their hair regimen. This helped the sisters develop an appreciation for natural hair care products, the value of family, and the importance of their heritage and strong roots. Later in life when the sisters, Ellen and Ione, became mothers, they wanted their daughters to love and appreciate their natural hair and have the products available to keep their hair healthy. These events lead to them creating Ruc...

On My Fashion Wishlist: Grace Han

Image
 Hello again my fashion lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well and had an amazing weekend and a great start to your week.  I was introduced to a new handbag line that one of my favorite Fashion Bloggers Laura Blair unboxed on her channel named Grace Han, so I went to her website, and I loved handbags from the very beginning. Grace Han was founded in February 2019, Grace Han is a luxury accessories and leather goods brand, defined by its focus on exceptional craftsmanship, offering the perfect balance of timeless style, uncompromising quality, and purposeful design. Dedication, authenticity, and harmony within life's conflicting forces were elements that rung true for the founder when she set out to build her company, and have since remained the three key elements of her brand. With its roots in both London and Taipei, Grace Han is a brand that combines values from both the East and the West. The brand reflects softness and strength, emotion and logic, tradition and inno...

On My Beauty Wishlist: Sienna Naturals

Image
 Hello, again fashion friends, and Happy Friday Eve to all of you. We only have one more day until the weekend is here and I could not be any happier about that.  I've been on a hunt to find a Shampoo that has healthy ingredients that will do wonders for my hair. So the search was on for me and I found Sienna Naturals on the Black Owned Everything Instagram page, not only it's Black-Owned, but it's Co-Owned by Issa Rae ( Who I Love.). Their products are always free of harsh sulfates, parabens, silicones, phthalates, petroleum, mineral oil, formaldehyde, artificial fragrances, and dyes.  The H.A.P.I Shampoo is something that I want to try out for myself. I have a dry scalp which means that my hair is dry as well, which is something that I hate. The description of this shampoo is that it Hydrates and cleanses hair from root to tip. Removes build-up from styling products, sweat, and environmental toxins that clog pores preventing moisture from reaching your strands. The...

I'm Friends With Mark Cross

Image
 Welcome back to another blog post on this great Tuesday, I hope that all of you are doing well and had a great weekend.  As many of you lovely people know, I have an obsession with 50s fashion. I've been a fan of Mark Cross handbags for the longest time after I saw a bag of his in a magazine that I was reading at the time a few years ago. Mark Cross was established in Boston by Henry W. Cross, who affectionately named the company after his only son. Cross founded his company on a simple passion: to create the finest leather goods for the horse and buggy rider. Mark Cross later expanded its range of products and quickly became the quintessential American luxury lifestyle brand. In the late 1800s, the house was acquired by Patrick Murphy who was instrumental in expanding the Mark Cross business and opened shops in New York, Boston, London, Paris, and Milan. Expansion overseas translated to first-time access to luxuries yet unknown to the American market. Beyond leather goods, M...
