Hey Nubians,

"With Science Fiction There's Endless Possibilities" - Anna Torv

I know I'm a little late on this one but I'm completely head over heels in love with the Gucci Fall 2017 Campaign. Anyone who can make fashion fun and have us use our imagination a bit more while getting dressed in the morning has a fan in me. I'm not a big Star Trek fan which is what the editorial is highly inspired by, but I do like films such as Forbidden Planet and Creature from the Black Lagoon that have also influenced this shoot. I've also always been smitten with 1950s & 1960s fashion, glitter makeup and ravishing red lips and futuristic looking hairstyles with a touch of retro Hollywood glam. I also need the glasses in this shoot in my life, they'd make a great staple to my Fall wardrobe. 

Hey Nubians,

Rocking Around The Christmas Tree ...

Theres something about the 1950's and 60's that has always endlessly inspired me. The way women dressed, did their makeup, styled their hair, everything was just so perfect! They also carried themselves with so much class! No twerking with your ass out just to get on a vine comp on get likes on instagram (so sad). Anyways back to the fashion, I've even been thinking that as a 2016 New Years Resolution I'm going to grow my sassy dress and circle skirt collection. I also have a fascination for the way marketing and ads were used during those years too. I think a brand like Coca Cola or Pepsi should definitely bring this style back! It would be so refreshing. 

Over the weekend I was looking at some Christmas photos and ads from the 1950s and 1960s and they very much resonate a message of love and happiness with me. Something about them is just magic... I can't really explain it but it fills me with joy. I hope these fill you with joy or at the very least inspire your outfits, hair, makeup or some cute photo shoots. 

The hair, makeup, and clothing in these photos is also very inspiring. I love some good ol' 1960s style. The pin curls in some of these look so on point too.

Hey Nubians,

I recently bumped into this video 100 Years of Fashion Under 2 Minutes by GLAM and it's absolutely amazing. In 2 minutes, they highlight top style and trends from 1915 to today.




So if you've recreates any of these looks:  Prim and proper and Coco Chanel-ish in the 1960's, hippie chic like Farrah Fawcett in the 1970's or love some good satin and big hair like Madonna in the 1980's, this video is definitely worth a watch!


I'd like to point out that this video doesn't cover absolutely every trend from 1915 till today but I think they did a great job covering some key ones. I also enjoy the fact that they show a team doing hair and make up and dressing the model, Very Cool.

Which of the years showcased in the video is your favorite?

Hey Nubians, 

Hello my beautiful Nubian Queens and Kings,

About a week ago I was roaming through Netflix and ended up watching Romy and Michele's High School Reunion starring Mira Sorvino & Lisa Kudrow. What an awesome throwback right? Oh how I miss the girly High School chick flicks from the 90s.

Anyway, I'm not here to talk about the movie much, I'm here to talk fashion! But for those of you who are interested, The movie is about 2 girls who weren't too popular in high school and often got picked on by the popular crowd. When they receive word of a 10 year reunion, they realize that they haven't done much after the 12th grade, Being that they want to impress the "it crowd", they create a very random story for themselves about life after high school (which is totally un-true) and this leads them into a bit of trouble. It's pretty hilarious being that they rent a car pretending to own it, get cellphones somehow and start wearing business suits to look successful.

Michele Weinberger (Lisa Kudrow) makes clothing that her and Romy design together. I've gathered screen shots from the movie of some of my favorite looks to share with you all. Some of these should come back in style and be used more often!













Lastly the head scarves. I would love to see women wear these more often today. They can add so much to a look and are very elegant.


What do you think about Romy and Michele's style? What would you bring back and what are you glad is gone?
