So Brooklyn!

   The years I spent living in Brooklyn are the ones that truly shaped me. So without a doubt I had to do a post in honor of my 2nd home; Brooklyn. There's something quite prideful about being a Brooklynite. Ask a Brooklynite where they're from and with oozing pride they'll respond "Brooklyn!". I enjoyed the culture Brooklyn offered me. It was rough and tough; in your face and straight to the point kind of culture. It's a tea that might burn too hot for the timid. But I loved it.

More Than A Woman; Aaliyah Tribute Outfit

    

  This year marks the 15 year passing of the earth angel who was Aaliyah. She was my icon growing up; her style, music, passion for her art and drive was an inspiration to myself and many. I remember listening to her music all the time; in fact, her "Are You That Somebody" track is what made me fall in love with music.  My 10 year old self wanted to be just like Aaliyah; just as beautiful, just as defiant and just as talented. I still do!

Fuel The Lime Green

   When I previewed this look yesterday on Instagram (@dellisaduncan), I mentioned that it was inspired by Tory Lanez' Controlla lyrics "mi need more fuel fi di lime green". And yes, being a West Indian and patois speaker, I  know he wasn't talking about the color, and that "lime green is a play on lime light" in Tory's case. But, those exact lyrics sprung into my head when I saw this skirt dangling from a sales rack. And like almost every other item of clothing I come across, I knew I had to get it! And, I did. Then I knew I wanted to rock the shit out of this pencil skirt for you guys. Now, I am.

Button-Downs And Bandannas + #GrlTlk Being Respected

     Although it rained non-stop on Saturday,I spent my evening strolling through Westmount Park with a friend. Thankfully the rain ceased once we got there. It was perfect time for deep thoughts and conversation. I started contemplating on a particular lesson my parent's taught me as child. I didn't quite understand it then, as I do now.
