When it comes to things I am passionate about, I do my homework on them as much as possible. Normally, I'm on youtube watching S/S and F/W fashion shows which incluce my favorite models  and designers (past, present and future). For "literature" reasearch, when I have time I often am flipping through the pages of Harper Bazar, Elle, Seventeen, NYLON, W-Mag and others looking at the current fashion and trying to incorporate the fashion into my wardrobe. Whether it's from e shopping at thrift stores, dollar stores or stores going out of business, I try to duplicate (but can never orginate) the fashion from those spreads. Most of the time I like to put my own personality into what I wear. My style is simple but with a POP! "POP" usually refers to maybe a statement necklace, really cool high heeled shoes, if for some reason I'm having a spell fever of obsessising over long hair I'll put a long wig on but most of the time I wear my natural kinky curls. I like to call myself a fashionista but the key influence to my fashion is simplicity, my inner joy and my growth towards become a elegant lady.  They say there are rules to regarding fashion but we ALL know rules are meant to be broken.
