Tribute @ the Cemetery R.I.P. MOMMY!............ view more

Life is many things but never meaningless and no matter what is thrown at you, you have to hold on to your faiths. Saturday June 16th,  marked a anniversary date in my life that just ain't so sweet I'd have to say. But hey, I'm the type of person that always believed that everything happens for a reason. So I really never questioned why my mother died at age 13.  I figure, maybe life is teaching me some things that she may never could...Thinking back on what kind of life I imagine I would've had if she were still here. Normally, I don't discuss this sort of thing with people that aren't my closest family & friends, but this year marks ten and that's something talk about! And what better way than through styling and shooting at her grave site!

This Month's INSPIRATION ~ DONYALE LUNA!!!.....view more

Timeless She is!..
The late Donyale Luna was the true definition of  a "Cover Girl". Luna, actress and model, was born in Detroit Michigan on August 31st, 1945 & died at the  age of 34 on May 17th, 1979.  During the mid 60's, she moved from Detroit to New york in order to pursue her modeling career and there she met Photographer David McCabe. Make note, that Donyale WAS and IS the first official black fashion Supermodel, gracing plenty of runways, magazine covers, and movies before the term even existed. Lol.....sorry Beverly, Naomi, & Iman but my heart has a new found fashion love and she's of great inspiration to me!!! ......... click link for more photo's

COMEBACK KID!!!!: MCM..........view more

So as I flipped page by page through the March issue of  Harper's Bazaar mag., I stumbled across a 4 page spread of new designs from the classic Michael Cromer Munich (MCM) Spring/Summer 2012 collection; from ready to wear, to jewelry, to luggage, to watches & most of all my Fav - hand bags!!.... Right at that moment, I thought about the first time I had owned anything MCM and how much I loved my classic fanny pack, but since it was vintage it would never really be "MY OWN" if you know what I mean. Only to find, that in 2005 the line was bought  by one of the richest women in asia, Sung-Joo Kim! Changing every thing that I had ever thought, about owning my very own MCM hand bag!! The new and improved MCM (Mode Creation Munich) made their official Comeback when they released the Fall/Winter 2010 collection about two years ago.

"LA Fa'Shindig" was definitely a night to remember for my self, in which I couldn't complain @ all! I just remember standing in the arch way of the doors of EA Effect Boutique, soaking in a whirl pool of emotions as I sent out each MAD Muff Model for my first fashion showcase. Not only did I individually make an eleven piece collection, I coordinated and styled the show while suffering from a major allergic reaction. I was so proud of my self  for being able to fight through the many trials and tribulations that seemed as if they could easily stand in my way. Yet, I was still able to celebrate all of the many accomplishments within this yr's basis!! Every one played a huge and vital part in LA Fa'Shindig especially EA Effect Boutique and I would  like to thank all that contributed their support!!.......To view some of the fab pictures of the night click the link above....

MEET THE NEW FACE OF MARY ANN'S DAUGHTER!!!!.........view more

So, for the last couple of month's I have been having technology issues. However, the time is now that I can share what I've been doing in the past time. With that being said meet the new face of MAD Muff Accessories-Model Mitchie Rae'!!

I had the pleasure to meet this wonderful, beautiful, and naturally talented young lady on my way to work one early morning quite some time ago. As I scouted her on her way to Walmart I instantly knew I was making the right call and it has definitely been my pleasure working with her thus far. On Sunday, Dec.4 Mitchie Rae' made her debut for Mary Ann's Daughter as she modeled up & around Art's Beats & Eats, styled in Wear House Boutique & MAD Muff Accessories. (& just & case you didn't know ABE is a Monthly charitable event displaying all forms of Art whether it be spoken word, live art, fashion, wine, even food etc.  ) At one point the Night became pretty hilarious and unforgettable. I got to sit back, laugh, & witness "MAD Mitchie" flame into a hot commodity right before my eyes, as other vendors @ the event yearned to use her as their own model for the night!!...
