Stay Taylor Made is a classic combination of urban style and vintage cool. Setting new trends with bold, uniquely styled clothing, originating from the gifted mind of up and coming young designer Taylor Alexis Young. She chose to name the line Taylor Made in representation of herself and her stance on the fashion industry.

Blood Sisters.

The styling of this editorial is one that completely touches my soul. The deep and dark depiction of the mindless story line. You can’t really tell what is going on but it leaves the mind to wonder and create your own story. That is my goal most of the time when I create my own editorials, it makes viewers more attached to the photography and the creative of the art.

New Beginnings

I would first like to apologize to TheBlaqueBook viewers for the delay in updates but I have been busy recollecting the pieces of my life after my transition from New York City working at Diane von Furstenberg. DVF was one of the most rewarding experiences. I said I never wanted to be the one that worked retail after graduation, that is why I forced myself up to NYC anyway possible to grind and hustle the best way I could to prove that I deserved my spot in the industry. Things did not go as planned and I got really depressed after commencement based off the fact that I know I worked so hard and gave 110%, however my heart to fight has not went anywhere and I believe that God would not bring me this far to leave me where I am. I hope that someone reads this and believes that even when you give your all and things dont turn out the way you want them too, there is still hope at the end of the tunnel.

However, I digress from that bridge brand. Anyway, I decided to give you guys a pictorial arrangement of what I have been up too since the transition.

TBB Showroom: Kim Kardashian | Fashion Buzz

I thought it would be only appropriate that I write up a very detailed fashion story on the beautiful Kim Kardashian, who happens to be currently preggers, fathered by Mr. West which I must say I am not mad at like a few people many of us can name. However, that is not my focus right now.

Kim gets a lot of backlash for her past, but her fashions are only top tier. Lets take a look for TheBlaqueBook showroom.

Pictured here, Kim has decided to give tux slacks, Christian Louboutin pumps, a white Gap button down and a Lanvin fur coat, which I must set everything in order.

Pictured below: Kim takes a backseat in a more casual look, sporting a Givenchy shirt, Kim K legging, Gold Rolex, and Christian Louboutin pumps.

Pictured below: Kim is on a greyish color palette here, Sally LaPointe dress, Casedei pumps, and a Celine cuff that I would not even want to know the price.

Kim Kardashian Todays Look Sally Lapoint Dress Instagram

Pictured below: Kim had the pleasure of presenting the award for Best Song at the EMAs in Germany. Carly Rae Jepsen won for ‘Call Me Maybe’. Congrats Carly. Kim wore a beautifully stunning Stephane Rolland gown and her favorite shoe designer Louboutin.

Pictured below: Kim described this look as a ‘Fun Fashion Moment’ for her. The life this woman lives I tell you. Kim is wearing wearing a skirt from Dash, Lanvin top, Balmain belt, Tom Ford boots and Rick Owens sunglasses and coat.

…this is only a small depiction of how she kills the game with her garments and accessories. Of course like any person, we have some hits and misses but like any other celebrity most of the people of who are saying the most cannot and will not ever see the designer merchandise she wears on the daily. :)
