W MAGAZINE: KALEIDOSCOPIC HIP POP EDITORIAL


Stylist, Lori Goldstein + W magazine = Stellarly fantabulous. {Yes, I just made that up. lol}
The crazy mix of textures and colors makes the model seem to pop right off the page. This topsy turvy editorial  is a perfect culmination of Spring fashion.
And although this spread is set to hit newsstands tomorrow, I figured I'd share my 
early scoop discovery with you!

CALL ME IRRESISTIBLE: SPRING/SUMMER BEAUTY LOOKS FOR WOMEN OF COLOR


I've been wanting to try my hand at experimenting with color combos that have been dancing around in my head all Winter, and what better time to give them a try than amidst this amazing Cali weather! I've been anticipating buying some new beauty products--lipsticks, nail polishes, and eye shadows in particular. I've never been much of a glamazon when it comes to make-up because I've always felt it should enhance your beauty rather than define it. However, I've always been a fan of the fabulousness of it all.

As a young woman of color, it's hard to find shades that appeal to my dark skin tone. Although I like mainstream beauty editorials, I do believe that at times, they can be a bit unrealistic and unable to cross cultural boundaries. If you're just as obsessed with fashion magazines as I am, this lack of universal appeal can be depressing and irritating at the same time. lol Yet oddly enough, when I spotted this editorial from Harper's Bazaar Singapore, I felt as if the make-up artist snatched some of my ideas right out of by brain when I wasn't looking! lol Although the  model, Rudi, is much more fairer skinned, her beauty looks are phenomenal and can work for women of all shades! Deep purples, bright pinks, and shimmery corals, all paired with sultry lux shades that vamp up the eyes. AAH! I can't wait to try them!!

HIDDEN ALLEYWAYS


After a long day of interning, I drove down this random alley in an effort to dodge the street traffic 
and discovered this great spot for a quick photo op!
Although there were a few sketchy prowlers that made their way by me as my camera was snapping away, 
I still managed to nab these awesome shots.
But once I caught a glimpse of the LAPD making their way toward me, I jumped in my car! lol
Not because I was afraid of them....but because I was afraid of hefty price of getting a ticket, 
since L.A. cops are known for being sticklers about giving ridiculously priced fines for photography.
