I recently started a new YouTube channel Curls Culture Couture with friend and blogger Tiana of Natural Allure Memoirs. We decided we needed some new promo photos, so we met up with another friend and blogger Saudia of Saudia Chila for an after work photo shoot. I haven’t worn my white skinnies since the all-white soiree I attended during the Charleston Natural Hair Expo in June. And even though it’s well after Labor Day, I’m still rocking my white. You do know that ‘no white after Labor Day’ rule is no longer in effect, right?

Style Tip: Disguise a tummy you aren’t happy with by wearing a top that fits in the arms and bust but floats away from the belly slightly. This gives the illusion that you aren’t actually hiding anything at all.

Little did we know that it would get dark as soon as it did. By 6pm, it was night time. But why stop? We kept right on shooting, and ended up with some great pics. Since we were so close, we stopped into the salon my colorist Hadney Alexander is now at, The Beauty Parlor. This super elegant space is the place that makes you want to stay awhile and get fabulous. Or do a photo shoot. Or both.
