BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Hello Fashionistas,

With Black History month being February I wanted to start a new series post that celebrates Black culture and those who have made an impact in the Black community old and new. I don't talk a lot about my culture or how proud I am to be African American, yes I'm mixed and love every ethnicity that's deep in the roots of my DNA, but I seek to share my love, support, respect and the way I'm embracing it as well. There will be awards given to those I believe have made a significant impact on the issues that people from the Black community face such as police brutality, equal rights and government representation. I also want to talk about the movies that are signature films that are forever a staple all black families watch and have in their movie collections of black films.

BLACK FILMS ALL BACK FAMILIES OWN



                                                         FRIDAY MOVIE SERIES

 These Ice Cube classics are a must in a Black household and represent what some issues we  may face when living in the gehtto.



 
This was one of my favorite's Janet Jackson and Tupac were amazing in this film. 

 
Anything with Ice Cube in it will be an amazing film 

 
This was one of my favroites as well, I'm an 80's baby and was born in 1988 so this is my generation reminding all 80's babies what we were all about.

 
This is hands down an iconic black film and Wesley Snipes was amazing in it and so was Ice T. 

 
It's crazy to see both Nas and DMX in this film because they are such iconic rap artists.

 
Denzel Washington is also an iconic black actor that hands down makes the best films.



THE TYLER PERRY IMPACT ON BLACK FILM MAKING

Tyler Perry, has done stage plays, films and TV Shows that we all have had a havit of binge watching because they are so damn good and hard to stop watching once you turn it on.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH SPOTLIGHT DAY 7

Image
 Hello Fashionistas, I don't like that work got in my way of me finishing my daily black history month spotlight series posts so I have extended it until March 5th to give me time to catch up with everything that I had planned out. As I was researching black owned businesses in my area I came up with yet another idea to highlight some black owned brands by women I've had the pleasure of meeting some in person and others virtually, but they are equally as impactful and empowering. So with that said, let's get into today's empowering black owned business owners who I believe deserve to be spotlighted and I was given the opportunity to ask them their insight on being an entrepreneur and business woman.  BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES IN THE SPOTLIGHT LESLIE MONIQ   shoplesliemoniq.com  Be sure to follow Leslie on IG @lesliemoniq and her business @shoplesliemoniq Founded by Leslie Henry this is a luxurious lip cosmetic line and in my interview with her I got to know more about h...

DATE NIGHT OOTD: KATE SPADE EDITION

Image
 Hello Fashionistas, I know it's been awhile since I've last posted but I promise this long wait will definitely be worth it, I'm so overly excited to share this with you but I'm always for things being set in stone before publicizing things. Now I will say that I will be launching a promotional campaign within the next week or so, but that’s all the information I’m willing to share without giving it away. MY OOTD    Crop top and jeans: Sugar Rackz Louis Vuitton sweater: Street vendor  Heels: Swapmeet 3 layered necklace: Ross   Handbag: Kate Spade  April 8th was my Husband’s birthdasy and since I had to work that day we decided to go out on a date night last night and we got my parents to baby sit the kids so we could finally get to spend time alone since it’s rare we get to do that. We drove to Anaheim to eat some Sonic’s and sat in the car to eat our food and went to best buy for some electronic accessories. We also drove around for awhile just to take in...

VALENTINES DAY OOTD

Image
 Hello Fashion dolls, I'm not really a huge fan of Valentine's day as a "Holiday" it could be because before I reunited with my Husband the guys I dated before him didn't buy me gifts or flowers and rarely even spent the day with me. It's so cliché to only dedicate one day to spreading love to your loved ones and friends, because we should be expressing our love routinely. My Husband and I don't usually give gifts for Valentine's day so this year we decided to just have a small family BBQ, drink and watch movies with out family all day long. OOTD DETAILS     Two piece set: Sugar Rackz/ One piece: Boomy apparel /Sneakers: Vans in brown suede  I bought this outfit for my Valentine's date last year with my Husband and then Covid-19 ruined that date night and I never got to wear it, so I waited to pull it out when ever the pandemic ended. Although things haven't necessarily gone back to normal in the world yet, but I was excited to get the chance t...
