Today we’re headed up North with Muke from Windsor, Canada:

She writes, “I was born and raised in Cameroon, West Africa but I have been living in Windsor, Canada for the past 3 years.”


” I am a nursing student, hair stylist and fashion blogger of mookeh.blogspot.com.”


” Being a fashion blogger on a student budget is extremely hard and sad because you have to close your eyes every time you go to the mall or Instagram.”


” My style is very versatile because it is influenced by the weather ( coz i live in crazy Canada) , my mood and the occasion.”


” However I will say my style is mostly simple, chic , classy and sometimes edgy.”


” I do every single of my hairstyles myself, so my hair is always changing, I can’t stand having the same hairstyle for more than 3 weeks, not even braids.”


” Being African, I am also inspired by African prints and hair styles.”


” I will love to be featured on your page because reading the stories of other bombshells inspires me to be better and I will love to inspire someone else.”


” Thanks and have a lovely week.”


You too!

Vintage Visions: Naomi Sims

I’ve always admired this woman. Her unparalleled beauty is beyond extraordinary; however, it is the story behind her struggle that truly captured my heart. In addition to showcasing an exceptional modeling talent, she’s also established herself as a successful businesswoman and an author. Although many may not recognize her face, her accomplishments speak volumes. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my distinct pleasure to present today’s esteemed trailblazer – the legendary Miss Naomi Sims.

Naomi Ruth Sims was born on March 30, 1948 in Oxford, Mississippi. As the youngest of three daughters, Sims was cited as a standout early on in life. Due to her tall and slim stature, Naomi was steadily criticized and shunned by other children who failed to understand her extraordinary physique – at the tender age of thirteen, she was already a towering 5 feet 10 inches. After completing high school, the stunning beauty won a scholarship to the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and, from there, she began to work as a struggling model while facing racial prejudice head on. Little did Naomi know, her downfall would  soon be the sole factor in her unstoppable rise to fame. Naomi Sims’s popularity grew wildly from the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s ; furthermore, one of  her more defining moments was her appearance as the first African-American cover model to be featured in the Ladies’ Home Journal (November 1968).

Aside from her ground-breaking accomplishments, this model’s style was also quite bomb-worthy. Sims was drawn to a more classic aesthetic – with everything from fabulous button-downs to the ever-so-chic belted maxi dress – Sims knew what looked good and she rocked it well!As a muse for Halston, Naomi also sizzled in flowy jumpsuits, printed coordinates, ladylike hats and enviable furs. Her style was infused with functionality coupled with a conservative appeal. In my opinion, she was THE first street style star. Don’ t believe me? Check out her concrete runway looks!

Talk about endless beauty! I have to admit – this Vintage Vision was one of my favorites. I thoroughly enjoyed sifting through Miss Sims’s photos and I discovered so much more than I could have ever imagined. I was definitely blown away!

Hot! Or Hmm…: Naomi Campbell’s 18th Annual ACE Awards Proenza Schouler Fall 2014 Sleeveless Dress + Kerry Washington’s Prada Check Dress

18th Annual Accessories Council ACE Awards
0 0 Naomi Campbell's 18th Annual ACE Awards Proenza Schouler Fall 2014 Sleeveless Dress

Last night, in the midst of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund awards — which we have the details for right here — there was another awards ceremony taking place. And with honorees that included Proenza Schouler as well as Kerry Washington and Scandal stylist Lynn Paulo, the 18th Annual Accessories Council ACE Awards certainly warranted a bit of attention. Amongst the arrivals, supermodel Naomi Campbell turned up in a Fall 2014 sleeveless halter neck Proenza Schouler dress from the brand’s Fall 2014 runway presentation.

The leggy icon cut the perfect silhouette in the sleeveless dress. Done with an asymmetrical hem and open back, it was a fun frock for the occasion. And if you’re wondering about the material: oh just hand embroidered silk georgette. You know, casual.
For those of you who plan on snapping it up for yourself — it’ll set you back a cool $13,500, so no biggie ,– you’ll be happy to know that it comes with an internal corset.

See the frock on runway:

She accessorized with a handful of rings and two wristfuls of skinny, glittering bangles. A simple pointy-toed black stiletto completed the look.

In my honest opinion, Naomi Campbell knocked it out of the park with this look. She showed off her legs and arms just right and juxtaposed that with a high neck which was tasteful. The open back was just a little extra umph for the look.

But what do you think? is Naomi still one of the chicest faces out there in the game or should she have returned to the drawing board for this one?
