// Naomi Campbell doesn't plan on retiring anytime soon. In my eyes Naomi Campbell is one of the greatest models to ever walk a runway. I recently watched a video, where she spoke to Nick Knight about racism in the fashion industry and the reason she refuses to retire. She’s unhappy with the continuous lack of racial diversity in the fashion industry. Naomi continues to make appearances on the runway because she feels she still has to represent for women of co[...]
I'm not into fake lashes, so I use mascara to achieve the look of long thick lashes. There are tons of mascaras on the market and out of all the ones I've tried, these are my top favorites must-haves. The first time I tried Dior mascara, I fell in love! This particular one can be a bit messy, but I love the outcome. It really gives the illusion that I have full lashes. It's an intense black that really gives a dramatic look. You can grab a tube here. ♦ // Looking for length, I[...]
// // ]]> Kelly Taylor (Beverly Hills 90210) vs Kelly Kapowski (Saved By The Bell) vs Kelly Bundy (Married With Children) Growing up watching 90’s sitcoms, I never really paid attention to the clothes that the characters wore. As a kid, I attended a private school where we had to wear uniforms, so up until high school, I knew nothing about fashion. Now that I’m older, I still love watching reruns of Beverly Hills 90210, Saved By The Bell, and Married With Children among others. Just the[...]
“I was insecure. I was a dark-skinned girl and extra skinny. I never, ever imagined it. I wanted it, but I never imagined it.” People were always telling Riley that she should be a nurse, “you’ll always have a job in nursing” they would say. After earning an associate's degree in nursing, Riley knew a career in the medical field wasn’t for her, especially since she disliked blood. Soon Riley moved to Los Angeles to pursue modeling. In her first year and a half in L.A., she wor[...]

// Solange is one of my favorite fashion inspirations, so it was no surprise when she showed up during Paris Fashion Week and showed out. This chick definitely knows how to "OWN" her look. She's always so well put together and her style definitely comes effortlessly. Which is your favorite look? [...]
Darine Stern was the first African‑American model to be featured on the cover of Playboy magazine by herself in the October 1971 issue.

Jackson was the first Black Playmate of the Month, while Bell was the first African American to appear on the magazine's cover alongside another playmate. ♥[...]
Joyce Wilford was the First African American Model to Cover Seventeen Magazine. Joyce Wilford was the first black model to cover the July 1971 issue of Seventeen magazine. Though many have claimed that Whitney Houston was the first African American to cover Seventeen, she was on the November 1981 issue. Three years ago I did a post (here) stating that she was the first African American to cover the magazine, but I stand corrected after further research. // // ]]> ♥[...]
