“I am currently a senior studying Merchandising at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. From a curious kid to now an ambitious and intelligent young woman, I have enjoyed reading books, magazines or online articles about what were  “trending,” designers, artists, and the overall history of fashion.”

 “My dress behavior reflects my feminine, eclectic and timeless style. My justification for that is I am my own person and I am comfortable in the beautiful, brown skin that I am in.”
Bria-from-Dallas-Bombshell-1“I believe in following and keeping up with trends but then again I am a rebel because I like to set my own rules and standards. The talented, masterminds, Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen inspire me.” 
Bria-from-Dallas-Bombshell-3
 “In the next five to ten years, I plan to obtain two degrees and I will become an Image Consultant or a Creative Director in the editorial field. I will inspire and teach other women to “BE-YOU-TIFUL” in the skin that they’re in and with God on their side anything is POSSIBLE!”
You go girl! We certainly believe in all your aspirations to inspire other women their beautiful! I loved your studded heels, brown poncho and black/white stripped dress. Cute! You guys can check Bria out on IG: @IamBriaCharlise. So tell us, what did you think of her style?

Public School x Fitbit to Debut at New York Fashion Week

Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne of Public School are no strangers to debuting limited and coveted collaborations on their catwalks. They first showed their kicks in partnership with Jordan on the runway and this season, they will be giving us a glimpse of their joint effort with Fitbit:

Dao-Yi-Chow-Maxwell-Osborne-Public-School

The fitness brand revealed its new Alta monitoring device not long ago: coming in at $130 and featuring a slim cuff and interchangeable bands that not only display texts, but also track sleep and activity.

Fitbit-Alta

The design duo will be putting their own spin on the Alta. Fashionista reports that their iteration will have “custom hardware, fine metals, and inspirational and bold graphic phrases…true to the Public School color palette and brand mantras.” Sounds pretty cool no?

The pieces won’t be available until later this year and the prices are still being determined, so stay tuned!
