Star Style: Joan Smalls

Hi guys!


Sorry for the lack of blog posts! I was battling a crazy mosquito bite on my lip (yes my lip, it wasn't pretty) and playing catch up at work.


I saw a mini preview of the Victoria's Secret fashion show and was happy to see my girl Joan Smalls walk the runway:



Joan is so different from models like Tyra Banks & Naomi Campbell: SHE ISN'T A DIVA and she isn't throwing phones at maids lol. There is something extremely cool when she walks the runway or when she is featured in ad campaign. It's refreshing!

Isabel Marant Runway
Her campaign photos have so much attitude and not doing the typical "fierce" look
Joan's style reflects her attitude (similar to mine): relaxed, easy and not contrived. She has a tomboyish spirit with a mix of femininity that is rare to see in African American/Latino Models. Here are a few of my favorite looks!

So effortless and chic: mixing denim, lingerie, a pair of combat boots, finishing with a pop of color
At CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards



Outside Lincoln Center wearing Rag & Bone's feather legging. I got my own pair this past weekend! Outfit post coming soon!


Who are your favorite models of the moment? Please share!

  3. Ohhh! I didn't know about her but I like it! She has an own style and it's very simple and fresh! One of my favorite models right now are Chanel Iman, Natalia Vodianova and Miranda Kerr,... but I use to take more inspiration from style icons like olivia palermo or blake lively! :)
