Mastering Artistic Poses in 5 Steps

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.

Shop the Look! - Queen Adwoa's Favorites!

Developing ones unique style can be somewhat difficult. While much of my own style showcased throughout this space is created by wearing my own fashion designs, paired with global / cultural pieces from the Q.A.C flagship store, I also wear fabulous items I've shopped (and hoarded LOL) over the years. However, now? My own personal, back of the closet pieces can be yours too!

Vintage & Culture - Shopping Vintage (Part 2)

That said, why vintage? Why wear or discuss dated 20 ... 30 ... 60 year old articles of clothing if the purpose of this space was to highlight / celebrate global culture and it's impact on fashion? Simply put, when closely examined, we see that vintage pieces are culture. Rather, these garments offer yet another historical context to a group’s “way of life.” Vintage clothing is reflective of the human experience and can even showcase a time and place that may or may not exist any longer. It encapsulates a feeling of an era while speaking to the mood or circumstances of people from that time period. From sparse and modest clothes of the Puritan Era to glittery, extravagant, "in your face" clothing of the 1980s ... People have always had a close connection between the garments they chose the relationship to their environment or moment in history.

Hadiah Dari Laut (Gifts from the Ocean) - A Love Story from PaPua New Guinea

Not long ago I wrote about the "Fashion Find That Stunned a Shopaholic." I was convinced that 60+ year old dress I'd unwittingly uncovered was one of the unique holy grails of my fashion loving life ... and while that find was indeed amazing? ... I managed to find and connect with an artisan from the other side of the globe who presented me with a set of necklaces that literally took my breath away.
