africa rising.

kezia frederick is the new voice for african fashion.  the central saint martins grad has interned with designers like jeremy scott, suno and zandra rhodes and is already killing it.  i think that this is what i've been waiting for to bring me back to my roots.  check her out.

get it.

sian's work is tight, check it out.

p.s. i know the blog is formatted really shitty.  working on it - trust.

take a listen.

things i'm super feeling right now, and have been for a while:

• not tweezing my eyebrows
• leather 
• black black black
• lots of eyeliner
• things i could quite possibly put together myself on my sewing machine
• aviators
• jayne, ivania and columbine

you guys may have noticed that i've switched up my photo format.  i was a bit behind the times with my site aesthetic, seeing as i pretty much just use this as a digital inspiration board.  luckily, my friend's sister (who is, hands-down, the dopest 17 year old alive) gave me the heads up told me to get my shit together.  thanks, lou.

a different world.

it's been awhile since i've really felt inspired by anything, so i didn't really feel like i had anything worth posting.

denise huxtable is, without a doubt, the most stylish television character of all time. eff carrie bradshaw, denise is bomb.

paint it black.

so, the fall really hasn't worked out quite the way i had hoped. but, in some respects things seem to have changed for the better.

the holidays are fast approaching and our living room is littered with wrapping paper, bows and lists. it's crazy, but i'm looking forward to chilling out with family and getting cozy/lazy for a bit.

i'm feeling a lot of black, army green, and slim lines right now. pretty much the regular aesthetic but a bit more mature than before. and i want a new tatoo, so i'm working on some designs. we'll see what i come up with.

grey days.

it's getting cold outside. van is super foggy half the time, sunny in the most unexpected moments, and chilly always.

things are getting down to the wire, work-wise. lots of stuff happening. lots of stuff not happening. please vibe the universe for me and help me get the ball rolling. x
