Photoshoot at the Waterfront

Hey Luvs,

Hope you all are doing lovely and feeling great! A couple of weekends ago my beau and I headed to Williamsburg, Brooklyn to have a chill afternoon by the waterfront. The weather was so nice and the surroundings were so pretty that I saw it as a perfect opportunity to snap some outfit photos, but the beau didn't lol.  He just wanted us to enjoy our afternoon together. After a little begging finally he gave in and took the pictures.  Thank you boo :)! 

Enjoy the photos!

Classic Black & White

Hey Luvs,

Hope you all are doing lovely and feeling great!! Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the mommies out there! Hope you all had a great Mother's Day!

If you didn't know, black & white is totally in right now. I love black and white because it's so classic and timeless! I love classic/timeless pieces because I can get multiple wears out of them and get my monies worth...y'all know I'm all about saving money :).  Every time I want to purchase something, I think of three different ways I can wear the item before I buy it. With black and white pieces, I never have to do that because they go with everything.

Enjoy the photos! :)

80's Centric

Hey Luvs,

Hope you all are doing lovely and feeling great! As I was walking outside with my photographer/cousin to take these outfit pics, he said "you look very 80's Centric! I lol'ed and told him "you just gave me a post title!" Lol if ya'll didn't know, the struggle to come up with post titles is very real. Anyway, my cousin was right. I look very 80's reminiscent especially because of my hair and the big round earrings I'm wearing. I'm serving you Cleopatra Jones and Foxxy Cleopatra  realness *in my Funky Dineva voice* lol!!


Enjoy the photos!

Dark-Skinned Girls Rock!: Catrice

 Hey Luvs!

Hope you all are doing lovely and feeling great!! I know its been forever, but we're back with another Dark-skinned Girls Rock! post. Today we're featuring Catrice from Michigan!


Catrice Helen
Everyone meet Catrice. Shes a 25 year old Law Student from Michigan!

Describe yourself in 3 words: Bold Funny Optimistic
 
 Tell about your personal style.
My style is thrift store gone fabulous! I don't like to spend an exorbitant amount on clothing just to look good. So what I do is I buy many multi purpose pieces,  from jewelry to clothing, and mix and match until it looks fabulous.


Who are your style icons? Rhianna and Kerri Washington 

Have you ever struggled with self-identity issues because of your complexion? If so what are some things you did to accept yourself for who you are and love yourself?
Yes, I have struggled. I have been made to feel I wasn't cute enough because all of the guys only wanted women of lighter skin tones. I was also judged as being "ghetto" and ignorant just because I was dark skinned. I am mostly over looked by men of my complexion because they are consumed with finding a "kim kardasian" or "jessica biel". I just had to come to terms with the fact that I will not and can not be someone else therefore I should be happy in my own skin. I mean God had enough love for me to create me this way, therefore I should love myself. 

Do you have any advice for other dark-skinned women that are struggling with accepting themselves because of the color of their skin?
They should realize and understand that number 1: the history of the black race and how from the beginning society made black people feel ashamed about the darkness of our skin. In order to break our culture, they instilled in us to hate our skin color and idolize skin colors of lighter hues. I believe if people would understand their history, they would understand that in order to reverse the thousand of years of hatred instilled in us, we must love ourselves in an abundance.
Number 2. I think if women would just find what makes them feel sexy and loved, they would be less concerned with what mainstream society thought about their skin color. I think more women need to fall in love with themselves...I mean head first deep in love, that way they will only be focused on what makes them happy.

 
What do you like most about being dark-skinned? 
The smoothness and darkness of my skin. I feel so exotic and no not because I'm from a foreign country, but because I don't look like everyone else walking down the street. I literally am a personification of uniqueness.


Yes hunny you truly are a "personification on uniqueness"! I love that line...don't be mad if I steal it girl lol. Thank you soooo much Catrice for participating and your kind words of encouragement to women who are struggling with self-identity issues because of the color of their skin. Beauty has no skin color!

Turban, Lace Blazer & Geo Print Leggings

Hey Luvs,
Hope you all are doing lovely and feeling great!! I had these pics on my computer for a while and have been meaning to post them. I took these pics around the same time when I decided to start wearing my natural hair out more often. I didn't really know how to style my hair back then, so I would mainly rock it in a puff or a turban. Now I mainly rock my hair in protective styles such as the one I'm wearing in my last post. Wearing my hair in protective styles gives me one less thing to do when I'm getting dressed in the morning. I just take off my bonnet, shake, and go lol. Anywho enough about my hair. I don't know what kind of look I was going for when I came up with this outfit. I mainly just picked out things that I really wanted to wear and hoped that they looked good together lol. How do you think it came out?  I'm honestly not really a big planner when it comes to outfits. I usually just wear whatever I feel like wearing that day. Do any of y'all do that? Or do y'all plan your outfits?

Enjoy the photos!
