Welcome back: Dapper Dan

As a Harlem girl obsessed with fashion, it brings me so much joy that a true Harlem fashion legend, Trendsetter, Culture Icon Dapper Dan will have the ultimate resurgence in the new GUCCI x Dapper Dan Atelier. 

     This 4700 square feet of greatness to open January 2018 will have more than enough room for a                         store front, parlour and on-site production area  http://dapperdanofharlem.com/                            

 The Aetlier will use "GUCCI raw materials, fabrics, prints, embroidered patches and hardware" to make Bespoke Dapper Dan of Harlem garments, so get ready for all the kitschy (and I use that term lovingly) garments Dapper can think up in his masterful mind, roll them in sequins, glitter and fairy dust and let the amazingness begin

Throw back Dapper Dan vs GUCCI Cruise the image that ignited a social media outrage which that ended in a GUCCI x Dapper Dan collaboration, long over due and I'm happy it happened.

Monday Motivation

Its the first day, of the last week, of the first month, of a new year..... make it count.

Things to do in 2018

1. LAVENDER PICKING

Lavender is one of the most heavenly scents around and I'm super excited to visit a Lavender farm and engulf myself in what I'm sure will be an unforgettable experience. Peak blooming season is from June to August so you have time to plan :-0 iLuv the fact that most farms have Lavender honey (I love tea) Lavender Ice cream (I will have my lactaid with me) and Lavender infused wine (who wouldn't want to try that!)
Here are some picks to try

2018

Happy New Year and Congratulations! we made it to another year :-) And its a fresh start to living our best life (although you can reset and restart at any time) and with each new year there are promises and resolutions to living a better life myself included and I must say, although its a struggle to keep up with allllllll the promises and resolutions for the year, when you do or at least make an honest effort to, the payoff is so rewarding. This year Ive decided to compile a list of things that I will make an effort to do and I wanted to share it in case you needed some ideas. The list is random and in no particular order and as I do I will share, and if you choose to do anything off the list I would Luv to see by email folliclesandfashion@gmail.com or Instagram @folliclesandfashion  

Heres to #livingyourbestlife
