Hello loves! Just wanted to share an #ootd but instead of me, this is featuring my beautiful baby girl Aubrey Michelle!
Store/Product Review: Young Black Genius Clo.
Alright guys coming at you with another store/product review, and today we will be featuring Young Black Genius Clo.. The idea behind the brand and what it stands for is "young black geniuses who made their own way for themselves to become successful". And what I really love is that this clothing line's purpose is not monetary, but to simply have a positive image that people would be proud of, and happy to wear. I purchased two items, a crew neck sweat shirt and a hoody and I love them. The material itself is not too hot, and I know what you're thinking "why buy a hoody and sweat shirt in the middle of spring", and my answer is because this is St. Louis and it can be 80 degrees today and 40 degrees tomorrow, so if I am going to wear a sweat shirt or hoody I want one that is comfy. I also love the fit with both the sweat shirt and hoody and most of all I love the message that they both portray:
I want all of my subscribers and readers to go and support this brand, and the way you can do that is
first through Instagram at http://www.instagram.com/youngblackgeniusclo and then on the website at www.younblackgenius.spreadshirt.com, go do it now!!!

Snapbacks and tattoos.....naw just snapbacks
Hey guys for the second post of March i wanted to kick off this Saturday morning talking about a huge trend that is going on, which is snapbacks. And since I recently made a post about my search of the Undrcrwn snapback I thought this was appropriate. So I just got hipped to snapbacks for the simple back that I thought they were ugly, I hadn't seen any that were unique and that's my number one rule when I shop for clothes, particularly that I think is apart of a trend, make the item unique as possible so that when the trend fade away, you can still wear what you bought because it's unique and classic. So one day, around December I started looking around for a present to myself and I came across the Undrcrwn snapback that a did my previous post on, and of course it's sold out!!!!!!!! So I have been on the search just for unique snapbacks that might suit my needs. I really like animal prints (of course) and texture snapbacks like the legos snapbacks , snapbacks with unique logos and sayings like the obey or trill snapbacks, and just fun, funky snapbacks in general. Honestly I don't like the plain sports team snapbacks, but a lot of them now have designs on the front part of the hat and I love that. Here are two online boutiques where you can get some exclusive snapbacks, both recommended by Tae Heckard (Video Vixen/Model) on her instagram. The first is Dare U Boutique (http://www.dareuboutique.com/) and the second is Sorella Boutique by Heather Sanders (I really want to say she's an actress, I've seen her star in something, http://sosorella.com/). But if you guys google unique snapbacks in google images or type in one you know of the click the web page box on the left hand corner it will bring up the boutique, most likely it's a boutique. And here are some pics of the different snapbacks I talked about including my boo boo in his sexy camo snapback that I'm stealing lol. So let me know what you guys think, yes or no? And if you know of any other online stores that sell unique and exclusive snapbacks please let me know AND IF ANYONE FINDS THAT UNDRCRWN SNAPBACK PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE SHOOT ME A MESSAGE AND TELL ME WHERE TO GET IT!!!!! And of course hit me up at:

A great Seasonal Look for $2,995!
Also here are a couple of pictures featured from the Canadian Arts Fashion Awards.
Here are a couple of Canadian Fashion Designer Brands
Pink Tartan
Designed by Kimberley Newport-Mimran in 2002, she produces an elegant, yet classy and graceful business style that includes a unique edgy appearance.
Franco Mirabelli
Franco studied fashion in the Fashion Institute of Technology and later created his collection of fine sharp classy garments several years after being trained under the guidance of head designers Donna Karan and Lous Dell'Olio as a design assistant of the Anne Klein Company.
Ziliotto, Melissa Nepton, and Veronique Miljkovitch are also a few Canadian Brands worth looking into due to their unique dress styles and upscale blouse selections. I suggest giving each brand a look, mixing and combining their styles, as it could make a powerhouse combo in fasion!
