New Photos

I've finally gotten photos back from a warehouse shoot I did with photographer Chris Carr. I did the styling and makeup and provided a few Biribelle pieces. Collaborations are a great way to build my portfolio for design school. What do you think?

Afrobeat meets Afrochic at the Black Light Special on Ust.

Hey folks, If you are in town for DC Carnival weekend, come to LunchBox Theory Production's packed Afrobeat party on Ust on June 26th. Check out the site for more details but BiriBelle will be there in full effect to help Afrobeat meet Afrochic. Dance it out to vinyl spun by DJ Underdog, get your face painted, and shop super discounted summer pieces from BiriBelle. Best of all it's only $1!

Making Lemonade

Yesterday I was invited by a friend to be a model for her makeup artistry class at the Bennett Career Institute in NE. Turns out yesterday was the one day they weren't doing faces at all, but were covering "the business of makeup" instead. It turns out that much of the information was pertinent to a fashion designer, and I learned some great personal marketing tips from instructor Tanna J. So yay to the free business class. One of the ladies in the class happens to be opening a new lounge in B-more this weekend called Ste. 18. As I love lounges and new venues, this was a welcome morsel of information as well. Finally it just makes sense as a designer to network with a room full of make-up artists duh! So even though I didn't get my makeover....I still made lemonade!
