Pop.Art MOTD

PoP.ArT.

This look was a "CHALLENGE" that I purposely set out to take on. I have always adored the Pop Art trends and looks but there seemed to be one thing that was lacking--women of color. 

Having that in mind and also never had attempted such a look, I was scared but I told myself something my elders had always preached: "Do it scared!"

I believe that this is a pretty good execution of the Pop Art look on brown skin & I am proud of this one. 

Cartoon!

"Uh Huh Hunni" MOTD

"Uh Huh Hunni"

This look is like my introduction to the evolution that I have embarked on, not to mention that I started using my Sony camera that is called the "magic camera", for obvious reasons. 

#TBH I begin to work on this look at 11:00 p.m. and didn't retire until 3:00 a.m. but when the creativity hits, you respond. 

"Same Ol' Mistakes"- Rihanna (ANTI)

"Same Ol' Mistakes"

Rihanna (ANTI)

The intro to this song transports me to another universe. When I first heard it my inner groupie went bananas! The beat just seems to chime to my energy and there's a transcendence into "giving & receiving".

Rihanna's lyrics spark a kindred heart & mind with me and the hypnotic beat just ravishes and keeps me in the present moment.

Purple Madness MOTD

Makeup

I had been wanting to create a makeup with a purple lip FOREVER but I had yet to find the right shade; or maybe the right shade hadn't found me.

 ;)

I came across "Purple Madness" by Black Radiance during my early Spring 2017 Beauty Haul & felt both empowered and intrigued by the hue and composition; not to mention it was the very last tube left!

*fate*

This color is not intimidating at all, it brought out and complimented my skin tone. It didn't project harsh, something I was weary of as a woman of color. It goes on smoothly and easily manageable. 

This was the perfect introduction into me experimenting with bolder colors!   

And then...

Hair

In the wake of Spring, I decided that it was time for me to refresh and polish my skills with protective styles for my natural hair. 

I have been au natural for about 3 years now & I've learned to respect and invest in the high maintenance it takes to keep it manageable and in my perfectionist perception--acceptable. 

Crocheting weave (in this case BIG Brazilian Style) into my braided hair has proven to be my trusted Go-To protective style. 

IG Post:

"My #CurrentSituation with my hair is attributed to Dominican-Style Crochet weave and my protective style braiding. I do my own hair & I've spent years trying to not just perfect my technique of braiding but patterned braiding. The struggle has been so real !!!!  BUT through perseverance I can proudly say--I kicked ass this time! "

#TBH- I am very proud of this look because not only did I overcome an insecurity and accomplishing the goal(s) I had involuntarily set out for--improving my braiding, mastering lashes & most importantly, humbly showcasing my evolution and growth.

"Avalanche"- Hana

I have always be a lover of music for many reasons. For one, I grew up around and with music. My father is a legend for his collection of music. His style was eclectic--good music was good music. 

From that I learned that music is about how it makes you FEEL & I went about life with that detail in hand. With that said, I decided to showcase my taste in music. Because for me, music is a reflection of the soul. 

And Hana sums it up perfectly with her melody "Avalanche".

Special Shout-Out to Amazon Music for having such a collection!

"Tiffani"

"Tiffani" by bmynroe featuring Lime Crime

Vetements print shirt, $580 / Topshop high waisted ripped jeans / Kendall + Kylie pink boots, $42 / Prada tote / Silver earrings / Sports jewelry / Noir Jewelry gold plated jewelry, $28 / Amanda Rose Collection choker jewelry / Khaki hat / Lime Crime lipstick, $16 / False eyelash, $24 / Travel bag / Deborah Lippmann nail polish

The creation of "Tiffani" prompted a new addition to my process of being as authentic as possible. The name of the character is just as important as the graphics and designs that I manually place throughout my sets. 

I have always had a fascination with names; what they mean; the origin and/or legend of it. Therefore, while editing and critiquing my work the question always arises: "Now, what's your name?"

Special shout-out to www.behindthename.com--the best name search engine around!

"Tiffani- Liberated, solid & poetic."
