Happy Tuesday!
So photographer Karl Pierre, our Editor-in-Chic Claire Sulmers and of course I were on the scene this weekend at ESSENCE Festival! Hundreds of bombers and bombshells came flocking to the great city of New Orleans for a weekend of fun and fashion.
Take a look at some of the fashionistas we captured: Essence-Real-Style-2016-Bombshell-4This beauty, @aspiringtobe_me, wore an Authoriteez top (I need!) and an ankara shirt and matching blue headwrap. YASSSSSS to all of this.
