New Orleans Fashion Week 2018 – NOLA Couture

     Prior to going to my first Fashion Week event in New Orleans, I had a small hint of anxiety. Its almost like going to a new school on the other side of town. The surroundings are foreign, you find yourself a bit lost and unsure. But then……you see something that’s familiar….like the kid from your old school that transferred just like you did. Now the moment is erased of unease and has been replaced with a sense of propinquity.

     That’s how I felt, walking into Fashion Week alone, not knowing anyone and trying to find my footing. As I watched the runway show and took photos, that sense of ease came when I heard the hostess announcing NOLA Couture. It was a company I knew of, pulling me into the moment, not only as a lonely, wondering blogger, but as a spectator, watching a place that I am familiar with be apart of the show. Speaking of the show, here’s my video of NOLA Couture and their runway collection for New Orleans Fashion Week 2018!

NOFW 2018 – Clinton Whitney Downing

     To be a native of Louisiana and finally experience New Orleans Fashion Week was like a dream come true. Coming into Fashion Week, I was clearly intimated by the location of the venues, sharing rooms with celebrities, models, designers, socialites. Attending as a blogger and not a model put my mindset in a new level of stress to ‘perform’ if you will. Being in the right position, getting the right shot, and so many other things plagued my mind – that is until I got there.

     Despite it being the last night of New Orleans Fashion Week 2018, the venue was set and my destination was The Monastery. Although I am from Baton Rouge, knowing the location of the venue meant that it would not disappoint. One of the many designer’s collection that captivated me was Clinton Whitney Downing. Clinton is known for his raw eye for fashion as a designer and his forward-thinking as an overall artist. This world is simply being graced with his talent. Check out his collection for the show:

 

And the finale!

An update on ‘Dee’ and What’s Your Chic

First off, I want to thank my supporters and followers on WordPress. Initially, I was apprehensive about even showing my face for fear of potential customers not wanting to take interest in my boutique and other platforms because I’m a woman of color. Thank you, thank you, thank you……the encouragement has helped me pushed myself out of the shadows.

Although I’m still a work in progress and constantly working to build What’s Your Chic, I owe my journey thus far to you. Because of your motivation, I’m still here, sharing with the world and stepping into my own light.

MUCH LOVE

Dee

Photographer in the Spotlight: Robert C Williams

When a photographer can balance life, work, and not compromise on their sense of vision….that’s an artist in every sense of the word. An artist is a originator, a producer of works of art. Enter Robert C Williams, owner of RCW Photography.

Williams provides a relaxed atmosphere, diversified techniques, and a professional finished product. Check out some of his recent work he did of me:

Dee, blogger/founder of What’s Your Chic boutique

I want to personally thank this artist for simply being an artist. I have not modeled in over 10 years and because of him, I was able to step forward. Contact Robert C Williams: rcwphotography225@gmai.com and on Facebook – RCW Photography

Miley Cyrus covering ‘Jolene’

Hi Everyone!

As I surfed the web, I ran across Miley Cyrus covering Dolly Parton’s song ‘Jolene‘. First off, let me say that I absolutely LOVE Dolly Parton’s music! All my life, I have been divorced in music, with country being some of my favorite🌟 It takes takent and down, right nerve to cover a Dolly Parton song so I commend Miley for this raw performance….it truly had me in tears, just like the original. Here is Miley:

Here is the legendary Dolly Parton:
