Black BeauTees Book Review

In Fashion by AnneMarie Iverson is a great book to add to your stylish library, gives insightful information on different jobs in fashion from designer, celebrity stylist to a makeup artist; everything you need to know to break into the fashion industry. What I love about the book is that it gives a birds eye view into the lives of various artists and their testimonials on how they got into the fabulous fast-paced world of fashion.


A definite must read that can be purchased at Amazon.

Black BeauTees Designer Spotlight: Hemma


Business partners, Cindy Gaston and Edna Bissoon lauched their collection, Hemma, while studying in Ghana.  The two were inspired by the rich culture & Kente cloth.  The designers have added some kick to shrunken blazers, corsets & pencil skirts with this intricate fabric and since Kente cloth represents royalty and luxury, you're sure to look regal in each garment.

That 70's Flare



Tracy Reese' S/S 2011 collection was full of 70's flare with beautiful floppy hats, fun sundresses and what I call "Charlie Angeles" trousers. Tracy's collections are always girly, effortless and nothing short of fabulous.
