The Joys of STUMBLEupon

Happy Tuesday Lovers
Wanted to share with you a couple of pics I found while stumbling that brought me joy
p.s. I am like TOTALLY addicted to stumbleupon now.
I heard people talk about it but didn't really investigate it, then my friend Chido broke it down for me and I was convinced to check it out.
Hooootttt damn, I'm glad I did. (though I am losing hours of my life stumbling O_o)
anyways enjoy!
kisses

Hey Lovers,

Here are a few pics of what I wore yesterday and today.
Today I had to do some research in les vintage stores as I'm trying to find a look for this gorgeous lady, who is part of a local band that has an album launch coming up.

It was TO. DIE. FOR!
Hope she approves of it, only then can I show you how it looks on her on the night.

Color(ing) MYself HAPPY

Hey Lovers,

One of the things that inspires me the most is coming across people that are SO transparently true to themselves. 

I love people who express themselves through their style without an ounce of insecurity to be found. 

I came across this British Singer, Ebony Bones, who truly blew me away.  

Her fashion sense is really out there and colorful (you know how much i L.O.V.E color and mixing weird things together).

i literally D.I.E for each one of these pics!!!

without further delay I give you Ebony Bones

xoxo 

Mo

Ruts are E.V.I.L

Hey Lovers.

Please forgive me for the erratic blogging in the last month.  I've been in a MAJOR major major rut.
I've lacked motivation, creativity was no where to be found and it has just been pitiful.
Soooooo, I think I'm tired of being in that rut and it's time to pick myself up and bruce lee that rut right in the back.
I decided to look at my fav curvy girls out there and get some inspiration from them.
Check out what has given me a little push.

xoxo
Mo

p.s. you might see a few color changes on the blog. I find change helps reduce ruts..giggles

CLUTCH CULTURE turns 1 :)

Hey Lovers

I'm such a proud mama.

My baby Clutch Culture turned 1. Ahhh they grow up so fast!
I am so happy that I survived my first year.
I set out to learn about the industry and to see what I was capable of, to put myself out there and to simply step out of my comfort zone. BOY!!! this past year has been something else. I've had MANY downs but the ups have been SOO sweet. I've made many friends and did things I never would have imagined doing in my first year.  I am so glad God trusted me with some talent.  For all those that have helped and supported me along the way I am beyond grateful for you.  To the beautiful girls that have modeled for me, I am humbled by the trust you had in me.
I do have to name one of my dearest friends Paul Green for creating my amazing website and for being a great friend to me. 

Currently the website is being revamped: you know me, I need change in my surroundings.
Also, I will be starting some photo shoots soon and trying to push myself.  I'm constantly trying to better myself and think of ideas to see the extent of my creativity.  

Stay tuned for more great stuff!

Gorgeous Purses. Awe-inspiring prints & colors.

ps. mom, I made through my first year!!!!!!! :)

The DoVE that FLY(ies) high in the SKY - ASA

Hey Lovers
Haven't done a Muse(ic) Mondays entry in a while...so here goes

For the past 2 weeks I have had Asa's self-titled album on REPEAT.

I'm pretty sure that the album has started giving me the side eye each time I press play. 

I just can't help it, there is nothing like going back to an album you hadn't listened to in a while. It almost feels like I am re-discovering the sweet goodness of the music.
I have other music of hers but for some reason I can't stop playing this one.
Check out some of my fav pics of Asa and some of my fav songs from the album. 

Love, Beats & Pure Art

Mo 

1. Jailer

This is my MOST fav song on the album

2. Eye Adaba

I had no idea what this song, sung in Yoruba, meant when I first listened to it.  Regardless it took my soul to an unknown place. When I found out what it mean.. I understood why :)

click [here] to find out the meaning BUT FIRST listen to the song

3. Bibanke

Asa explains what it means :)
