Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet #307

I recieved my early Christmas gift from one of my special friends , and boy it was a surprise opening the gift bag from Same Avenue. Inside, there was a Chanel Lipstick from their holiday collection. Someone answered my prayers. I always wanted a darker shade for the holiday , and winter/fall. I'm no make-up guru, but Chanel brings it out of me.  The lipstick is a matte base finish , and i'm in love with it all. This shade gives you the drama you need with out the full additional make up you would normally would apply. I thought it would be nice to go half of my water line with my NYX matte black eyeliner , and I'm on my way out the door with my dramatic lips.

Oh! I always remember to exfoliate , and moisturize my lips because everything seems not to go as plan without that step. Not only with my lipstick, any other brands within the market.

Enjoy you holiday! I will with mines although I have tons of work to do on my portfolio.

Documented Concept shoot.

      When seeing this photograph  shot from behind the scenes of my concept we shoot December 10th. We will be submitting to a magazine soon enough, I've taken the moment to realize this is the awakening moment for me. Though. I do have a longer journey ahead of me. I can already taste what it could be like to plan something months before time, creating mood boards so that everyone can understand what direction your head is going, and also bringing together a team of creative people that know what you want and what you asked for.

    Every time I began to plan something, I'm always learning something new. A stylist in general does it all when planning the concept except shoot the images. I had to know the lighting I wanted; Hair; Make-up; and clothing. I had to direct the model so that they can translate the mood through the picture.

   As I watch my assistant stylist: Sylvia Clark add the accessories I picked out, and Hair Stylist Elijah Greene make touch ups I start to wonder off into how things have finally come together. The dress I pulled from Long Tran's Spring/Summer 2013 collection was the perfect fit.

I'm excited to see the final edits, and can't wait until we send out our photos to a few magazine publications.

After a while there will be a video release from the shoot. As of now, I'm not sure if I can release the name of our concept but all I can say is " In due time."

Fierce is my name !

I'm here to stay, and as long as i'm alive I will do everything in my power to give you a post of life !


What has been happening in my life?

Well I've started wearing lipstick in either black or bright red, I've painted my nails black. sometimes , I would add micro-beads to give my nails a new dimension of something new and started wearing eye-liner because I'm one to break those boundaries that was set in front of me. Being fierce is not giving a care in the world  and knowing who you are as an individual. Another way of showing to the world I'm fierce is buying a Karl Alley hat that states that I am, what I already know .

Be you , Be Free !


best,

Day in a life of me: Fashion Institute of Technology, FIT

A senior in high school has to take the time to research more colleges, and the right one for me would be FIT !

I have taken time to look into the graduating students collection, I must say its major.

Tell me what do you think?

New shoes season

Every time a new season comes I rarely get a chance to buy new shoes, and or add new garments in my wardrobe. I've been eyeing these amazing Dr. Martens for some time now and happy to know I will be soon buying them because I admire them.

Become hypnotized by them as I am with them.
