Conquering Work Wear with Julian Chang

Hi Love!

Quick tips for conquering work wear. 

Start with basic one-piece wonders, such as wrap or sheath dresses like our Beena dress. With a conservative scoop neckline and textured finish, it pairs perfectly with a tailored blazer and classic pumps.If you work setting is more casual and creative opt for a turtleneck dress and flowy and printed vest like our Ariana, which pattern is bold but not over-bearing. Pair with dainty earrings and solid leather tote for a comfortable and completely chic look. So as much as it may take you to pull yourself out of bed after a long weekend, let your looks motivate you to be the star of the office, without outshining your actual work of course!

Happy Birthday Angela Simmons!

Hi Love!

In celebration of Angela Simmons birthday lets look at her year in totality.

7 Times Angela Simmons Inspired Us This Year as an Actress, Executive Producer, Fashion Designer and Philanthropist

1. Although she has tons of success at the sweet age of 28, she lives in a one bedroom apartment on the Upper West Side in Manhattan.
2. After launching her Pastry shoe line with her sister Vanessa, Angela has now created "Foofi" a clothing line based in Manhattan.
3. She stars in a film called " Supermodel" which is will release in 2016. Although it focuses primarily on working in the fashion industry it also covers a deeper and darker side of the industry. Supermodel puts the spotlight on racism. 
4. She launched GirlTalk Takeover, a health and fitness group as part of New York City's Boys & Girls club.
5. She executive produces " Growing Up In Hip Hop" a new docu-series that reveals the lives of hip hop legends and their children who have grown up in the entertainment industry.
6. Growing her hair waist length and promoting healthier hair products and protective styling tips.
7. Exposes her Instagram audience to a beautiful and safe side of Haiti that the media refuses to portray. She remains fearless in everything she does. 

Foofi

I am excited to see how this line expands and you should be too. Her style is impeccable
