  Hello my loves, I hope that all of you are doing well this Thursday/Friday eve. The weekend could not come at a better time so that I can catch my breath momentarily. I've been seeing the AAPI-owned beauty brand all over Ulta's website, so I had to do a blog post about them. I love the message behind the brand as well, All of the formulas in their line gently deliver the function they promise as well as hydration, skin barrier support, or both, which they believe are the requirements for glowy, happy skin. Where a beauty product’s price comes from can often be unclear, and they want us to know what you’re paying for. they can keep their superior formulas at approachable prices because their expertise and resources go inside the bottle.

 Happy Tuesday fellow fashion lovers, I'm so grateful to be here with you guys again. I hope that all of you are doing well and had a great weekend.  I remember seeing a dress in Comsopoliatin Magazine by PH5 a few years ago, and I thought to myself, "Why are they not well known in the fashion world.

If 7 represented androgynous unisex labels and 1 represented the extreme feminine or sexy brands, PH5 would be a brand that's leaning more toward

  Happy Monday fashion lovers, I hope that all of y'all had a great weekend, but it's time to face reality and go back to work, school, and other responsibilities that life has for us. I pray that all of you will have a great start to your week and always remember that being positive is always in fashion.  The late Spring/early Summer is upon us, and we all want to look chic while the mercury is rising. I was reading the May issue of Harper's Bazaar and I noticed that Fishnet Dresses were a huge trend on the Spring/Summer 2024 runways and were going to be a staple for our Spring/Summer wardrobes. I love wearing dresses all year round, but it something about wearing a light and airy dress in the Spring/Summer. I know what many of y'all are thinking, "Why would you wear something that might cook you on the inside". Fashion is all about trying things until you find something that works for you, and I think that we all live by that quote.  The Spring/Summer 2024 r

  Good Morning fashion lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well and had a fabulous weekend. Let's all work hard and finish everything on the to-do list to enjoy the upcoming weekend.  I remember the first time that I watched a Peter Do runway show, I instantly fell in love with his minimal, yet unique designs.  Peter Do established his brand in 2018 in New York City. Through a process of reduction, every detail is tested and refined to adapt to the complexities of people’s lives. Peter Do is dedicated to creating a new future in fashion through thoughtful design. Born in Biên Hòa, Vietnam, Do immigrated to the suburbs of Philadelphia at the age of 14.
