Next Stop? The Cover of Vogue!
This morning I woke up and did what any normal person does–I felt around under the covers for my Blackberry and proceeded to check emails, Facebook notifications and of course, Twitter. Most of it was just the normal “You call this a bank account?” email from BOA and “Here’s how to spend what little $ you do have” emails from Groupon & Lifebooker.
But as I made my way to Twitter, I found one very special tweet from @Essenceonline and literally began screaming into the pillow!
The back story…
I attended a cocktail event hosted by A Belle in Brooklyn on Monday at Ink48 in Manhattan. Partly because I’m in LOVE with June Ambrose but mostly because I desperately needed to get a haircut (got one today), I decided to give the increasingly popular turban look a try. Needless to say…it was a hit! Lots of people at the event complimented me on it and the photographer for the event asked to take my photo as he made his rounds to the people on the rooftop. Me? Turn down a photo op? Never! lol.
I got an email last night from the photographer with copies of the photos, but it was super cool to wake up to see it all come to life. I mean, I scored the ever coveted main photo slot on the post and then got a tweet from the magazine’s Twitter page. Yeah, I’m kinda a big deal. haha. jk jk. (Although I’m still not sure how they got my Twitter name. o_0)
Check out the photos to see what I wore:
What do you guys think of what I wore?

What do we think???? Essence is a much better kudos. But I love the look, as always—so chic!!!!
My cousin loves June Ambrose and Audrey Hepburn—you need to persuade her that NY is where she needs to be and NOT Atlanta (even though she would leave me here).
Next stop International—definitely Coming Soon!!!

The real rhetorical question in this article is: Do the cloths make the woman? Or does the woman make the cloths.
Natural charisma, a vibrant and [confident] smile, projecting a pure and commanding attitude of innocence, peering from behind knowing eyes, sets the intrigue that is; Blake Von D, in a Turban.
Some women have a natural fashion sense. One that suits them as well as reflects the significance that fashion plays in our everyday lives.
Like most era’s of history have their musical back drops, they also have a statement of popular fashion for that time. What every one is wearing.
But there are those women who are timeless in the way they present themselves and rather than becoming associated with the time, a certain period of time becomes associated with them. they don’t fall in line they set the fashion standard, and others pay them the highest form of flattery.
And this just happens to be Ms. Blake Von D’s time to shine. A woman that knows herself and hasd a well honed fashion sense.
She knows what good fashion looks like, and she knows how to present….. The Look.
Congratulations Blake.
