Style Icon: Tracee Ellis Ross

Tracee Ellis Ross is by far, in my opinion, one of the most underrated style icons. The effortlessy flawless 41-year-old has a signature style, that is the perfect cominbatintion of "classy" meets eccentric. Her everyday style slays, just as much as when she is on the red carpet. Tracee manages to match statement vintage pieces with everyday basics to achieve such a chic look, outfit after outfit. Not to mention, her body is absolutely bangin' at her age! Most definitely my style icon and muse.

Here are a few of my favourite looks from her:

I fell in love with her even more after watching her interview on the Breakfast Club. Tracee speaks about her new show Black-ish, race, her upbringing and her infamous ass lol.

Hairspiration

Sometimes on my lunch break, I find myself scrolling through Tumblr and being swamped with incredible photos. I've been especially in love with some of the hairstyles posted on there.

Currently obsessing over:

1) Clean, simple up-dos
2) Retro styles
3) Long, thick, single braids

A Compilation of Inspiration

A week from hell calls for a little (maybe a lot) of spiritual healing, inspiration and motivation. During tough times, I try to remember that I am not going through hardships alone. We are all hustling to make something of the precious and unpredictable thing we call life. I have complied a bunch of completely random dope things, that have currently caught my eye for various reasons. From art work, music, clothing; they all have impacted my creative eye one way or another.

Nico & Vinz are actually of Ivorian and Ghanaian ethnicity, so cool !
