My style, much like my size, has changed alot over the years. But, one thing that remains the same is my love for GOOD vintage pieces. I started thrifting during my broke era —better known as college. It started as a quick and cheap way to find an outfit for the weekend or a party under $20, but quickly grew into one of my favorite hobbies. I've found everything from...
My introduction of the word "sexy" came from the early 2000's video vixens. They were different from the Victoria's Secret models I convinced my mother to let me watch once a year during their runway show. These women had skin in variations of brown I had only seen in the 96 crayola box, yet somehow gold seemed to peak through in all of their shades. They were curvaceous in ways...
In 2015, I sat in the middle of a Victoria Secret dressing room on the verge of tears. It was my first real Valentine's day— not any "makeshift and bullshit" Valentine's day—but a real one in a real relationship with a real man. I needed everything to be perfect. I spent the week purchasing tickets to the All Star celebrity game and planning out our weekend at the Air BNB...
Hi, my name is Jourdan and I'm obsessed with thrifting. From rocking high waisted mom jeans by Calvin Klein and an old school jersey, my aesthetic is very tomboy cozy... Think Khadijah James. But, now that I'm older and growing tired of the sweats I've been living in all winter, I'm ready to switch it up and show off a more feminine side. I've secretly always wanted to channel early...
As a girl trying to grow out of her streetwear/cozy girl aesthetic, I've been learning to appreciate high fashion more. This was my first year getting to do anything involving New York Fashion Week— and I was excited! I kicked off my fashion week attending the Birchbox x Milk Makeup NYFW event and Kendall and Kylie Samsung event with my friend Dee! While the Milk Makeup event was a surprising favorite, the Kendall and...
It's holiday season, y'all. With holiday season usually comes loads of unnecessary stress over shopping. People tend to panic for the perfect for their loved ones, bae(s), and friends. To be completely honest (and kinda corny), the best gifts aren't the most expensive or popular ones. The best gifts are the ones that show you've actually been listening to/paying attention to their likes, dislikes, and hobbies. In honor of the upcoming...
Hi, my name is Jourdan and I am a (non recovering) product junkie. I spend what little free time I have indulging myself with hours of tutorials on Youtube and (of course) buying more products. I've turned my bathroom into a mini spa with the amount of face masks, body scrubs, and oils I have! With my skin goals on Lupita Nyong'o levels, I'm trying to glow up in every way possible...
Because of my tomboyish ways and my hatred for heels, I've always been a sneaker kind of girl. Growing up, my closet was filled with bright colored Nike Dunks and a classic white pair of Air Force 1s. Now that I'm "grown", my chucks have been my go to sneakers. I love a good pair of kicks that I can wear anywhere with anything. But since it's getting colder, I've had a...
Summer is officially over. Though I'm sadly packing away my favorite high waisted shorts and maxi dresses, the change of season means one awesome thing: FALL SHOPPING. With suede, leather jackets and flared jeans on my mind, I decided this is an appropriate time to update my wardrobe. My good friend Bria, my $100 budget, and I hit the thrift stores of Bushwick, Brooklyn for some cheap alternatives of fall's hottest...
As a product junkie, I know that shopping for products (that work well with my hair) can be overwhelming. I often find myself scavenging through multiple beauty supply stores in order to find just one particular product for my hair. That can get old real quick! [caption id="attachment_583" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] This is only half of my bad habit.[/caption] Luckily, I found a new black owned beauty supply that has become my new...
