It's that time of the year! All any of us could think of is the warmth, fashion, and beauty that will arrive with the Spring season. I can't wait for light jackets, cropped tops, long skirts, and tons of floral designs. Being able to have brunch while sitting outside sounds like a treat. Being able to lay on the grass with your shoes off while enjoying some music or a great novel sounds like a dream too. Spring also inspires creativity. Create some art and make magic happen.
I can't think of a better day for Double Denim. Today, April 25th is Denim Day. It's a great day to wear jeans with a purpose, support survivors, and educate yourself and others about sexual assault.
Too many women have been sexually assaulted one way or another and it's very, very far from ok. It is NEVER ok.
Hey Nubians, "Art Is The Ultimate Way To Express What You're Feeling And Dreaming Of." Who doesn't love art? Art can be considered a variety of different creative outlets. Many people consider fashion and their way of styling an artform. It expresses how they feel and showcases it to those around them. Others consider dance or theatre their art form. Of course, there is always drawing and painting. I LOVE to draw. I wouldn't consider myself one of the greats, but I enjoy it and it helps ease my mind. I am fascinated with murals and street art. The idea of completing a well thought out mural is probably somewhere on my bucket list. I admire artist with such vision and dedication who put their masterpieces together in the middle of the day while random strangers stroll by and just stare at them... I would assume it's not a distraction to a focused well focused and determined mind.
I love putting outfits together that look like they don't make sense. This outfit for example, a sporty Sanrio Hello Kitty light jacket, A long thrifted glitter skirt, a backwards DC Comics Wonder Woman baseball cap and a pair of H&M boot heels. Many people might not think this ensemble works but I totally dig it. It's always been a thing I do. I belong to the world of print mixers and color blockers. I take joy in the unconventional and encourage others to always think out the box and have fun. Be confident! I follow many bloggers who dress fun and spontaneously. It doesn't always have to be too crazy but I like to push traditional boundaries a bit. Fashion is suppose to be fun after all.
Gorgeous and full of attitude, I think I was channeling my inner Cry-Baby's Wanda Woodward with this fashion outfit. It isn't exactly a pinup or rockabilly outfit, but I think I gave it a bit of a modern twist and mixed the look more with every day wear like my tee for example. You also have to consider the winged eye liner and kick ass faux leather jacket I'm rocking which ties back to my Wanda Woodward reference. I love encouraging fun fashion and the use of color therapy. A little bit of sassiness on top of everything doesn't hurt either.
Hello Nubians, Tis The Season To Be Jolly And Wear Lot's Of Red Outfits! Fa, la, la, la, la!
I love wearing red during the Holiday Season! I think I always have ever since I was a young little Nubia. It makes me happy and jolly and improves my mood... you know, color therapy and all. Red holiday sweaters, dresses, denim etc.
My brother gifted me with THIS 'Holiday Burger Run' sweater from Threadless by artist Zach Forer. I'm smitten with it and it's kind of become this special article of clothing for me now because he gifted me with this tee a few years back...
