When it comes to my favor of models, I honestly don't have many because I'm not very aware of many. But two that I can think of right now are Jessey Stevens and Lukka Sabbat. The reason I favor those is because they are young people with some type of impact while still continuing to be themselves. They pretty much bring their own spunk to modeling. As far as designers, I favor Zara(creator(s)-Amancio Ortega & Rosalia Mera), Drop Dead Co(creator-Oli Sykes), KITH(creator-Ronnie Fieg). Those are 3 major designers that i'm into. Theres a lot to be honest though lol. 


I believe being able to experience different places and people is fun and very rewarding. For example, people will comment under some of my pictures or send me a dm telling me how much they like what they see. Just giving me positive feedback period. Its the fact that what I am doing can have a good impact on certain people. Thats the major rewarding part, being able to give back in a sense. 


I honestly can't say that I generally shop anywhere specific. I shop at many places. 


Preparation for a shoot involves having my theme or story set up at least a week in advance. Also having my clothing picked out, because it would take forever to do on the day of. Now, on the day of a shoot, the only real preparation is making sure I look nice and theme set. So that may possibly involve some type of make up or hair product.


I honestly never had any intentions on modeling in my life. It all started when a friend of mine asked me if I would like to do a Calvin Klein shoot with her and her team. I was a little shaky at first but I was thinking about it, and it was just like why not? My friend david ended up doing it with me. So I went to the place for the shoot and it was a little awkward at first because it was a topless shoot. But when the action started and the photographers began directing, it became a nice, fun experience. Her directing made it less awkward because I didn't have to try to find poses to do not knowing how I was looking. So 2 days pass and I post the pictures, and all of a sudden i'm getting all of this good feedback. People are commenting, my pictures begin to trend, and agencies are contacting me. So that small taste of success is what got me into modeling. My original passion is for music. I'm pretty much modeling for my gateway to that music career. It's a lot easier and a faster rate when it comes to gaining exposure. I've now decided to do both as a living

Fashion story

When I was a kid my mom always picked my outfits for me. Any brand you can think of I had it. Well, except Gucci and Louis Vuitton of course lol. I guess you could say I was one of those babies that women would tell their husbands they need to dress more like lol. As I got older, I started dressing myself. I don't know what it was, but something told me to look back at my baby pictures and that's what I based my style off of.

Inspirations

Unlike many people, I really don't have anyone who inspires me fashion wise. I've always kind of done my own thing. To me, I feel like following the way someone else dresses defeats the purpose of having your own style. I wear what I wear because I think it's cool you know?

Favorite stores

My favorite stores to shop at are Buffalo Exchange, Asos, thrift stores, Target, Topman, Urban Outfitters, and many more. I can't name all of them because it would probably take 10 years lol. I've never really cared for shopping at really expensive stores. Mostly because I don't want to spend my whole savings account in one day. It all depends on your values though.

Advice

When I shop, I love to save lots of money. Many times I've gone to the store with at least $500 in my pocket and came out with $425 left over. See I learned how to bargain shop from my mom. My dad buys cheap too but that's because he's just cheap lol. Besides that, it's all about your values. I won't say that I don't own expensive clothing because I certainly do. However, believe it or not, I've never spent over $200 on anything I own. After all, you can't buy style.

Spring Looks

The time of the year where you want to show off your body is coming once again! The perfect clothing to rock for this time of year is mesh. Mesh goes with everything but please be mindful on your body type for certain designs of mesh,

Picture
Here we have both men and women's mesh tops. These are just two of many designs of mesh. As you can see, both designs are worn casually. Casually is not the only way to wear mesh.

Because it is technically still winter, you will not be able to find mean in too many stores but if you have an eye for mesh, YOU CAN FIND IT !

Ladies, the meaning for sweaters has become something more than just a piece of clothing to keep you warm but has extended to a fashion piece that suits all, whether oversized or fitted. Sweaters have surfaced the fashion world with an esquisite twist this spring.

Picture
Here we have two sweaters, one as a dress and one oversized worn as a dress. These sweaters are not only comfortable but eye drawing to the public.

A lot of sweaters such as the long and over sized sweaters can be found in Forever 21 at very good prices. You can also find them in Topshop, Zara and other mainstream shops according to your budget.

We all know, winter has certainly overstayed its welcome. It is time to start thinking of our spring looks and getting rid of our winter baggage. The fun part about fashion is that we do not have to stick to one specific look, we can have many.

BLAZERS BLAZERS BLAZERS ! There nothing more professional and comforting than a blazer. The good thing about Blazers is that there are a very wide spread designs of them. Depending on the event you are going to or even to the movies or a regular brunch, you can rock a blazer. Because Blazers are nationally popular, you can find them anywhere, if not, mostly everywhere.
