Last week I had the incredible opportunity to take part in an amazing event hosted by none other, UK fashion giant, Topshop and Fashion insider "The Business of Fashion." Taking place at the legendary Parson’s School of Fashion Design here in New York City, the premise of the event was to provide up -and - coming bloggers, fashion designers, and e-commerce entrepreneurs insider tips on ways to succeed in an ever-changing fashion industry, particularly in the age of social media.
We love informed customers over here so with that said, let's get into this quick silver informational! First up? It's important to know that silver in its purest form can be very soft and pliable. To strengthen it and make it user friendly for jewelry and a host of other uses, another metal is typically added to silver to serve as a strengthener. Almost always, the additional metal used is copper. Case in point, the Tuareg tribe bangles above from the Q.A.C webstore. Made of silver, they also have coper added. As mentioned, this not only strengthen the bangles (preventing them from being super malleable and breaking apart), but it gives them a pretty, ever so light golden undertone.

Welcome back from a long 4th of July weekend! While soaking up some sun and much needed rest, I also had the chance to snap some great pics of my latest anthropological fashion find!

As we continue to feature items soon to be released in the Q.A.C webstore for purchase June 1st, in this week's Cultural Beauty series, I wanted to feature the Rabari Tribe of India. Not only are these strong women leaders in their communities, but for the better part of thousands of years, they have been at the forefront of what is now being called "Boho / Bohemian" fashion. Now lets pause here, because if we're being really honest here? The traditional accessories these women wear goes so far beyond the generic term "boho."
Last week week I discussed the beauty of the Gambian people, specifically the Mandingo tribe, and their close relationship with the arts and craftsmanship. Of the many pieces the Gambia people brings to life, one of their most beautiful creations is their 100% amber necklaces.
This week, our eyes turn to the country of Kenya and it's world renowned Maasai Tribe. One of the key fashion staples found in Maasai cultural designs is the presence of intricate beadwork.
Camera Whore ... Vanity Vixen ... Selfie Queen. I could honestly be called any one of these names. Truth be told, I absolutely love photography and art of capturing a moment in time that could quite possibly last forever. How completely ironic, that just a few years ago, I would have preferred to be behind the lens rather than in front of it. If you recall, one of my first posts discussed myjourney to self love. In short, it literally took me years to embrace the young girl, now woman, I see in the mirror. Today? I'm completely love with myself and celebrate every inch of me, even my flaws. Thankfully all that time quietly observing life behind the camera has taught me a thing or two about what elicits a great photo.
