Am lovin’ it: April Faves

We’ve survived the first third of the year, God is good! April started off a little weird for me. I watched a GQ video of Nipsey Hussle and Lauren London and literally the next morning read in the news he had been shot dead. Then I saw the numerous tributes pouring in and watched a couple of his interviews. I particularly enjoyed his interview with The Breakfast Club. He was such a role model who was fully invested in contributing to and improving his community. Lots of food for thought in that interview – go watch if you haven’t already!

Now whilst I have not always been a Beyonce fan, I cannot hate on her achievements and what she has done for the culture. The Homecoming Netflix special is truly a celebration of what it is to be a Black American and I am completely HERE FOR IT! Anybody who watched it and didn’t just feel in complete awe at the end is a serial killer. I said it!

This apartment may be tiny but the design and use of space is second to none. Impeccable!

I love this very thoughtful piece on why we need to support black plus size designers.  

The sleeping masks from Laneige – the water sleeping mask and the lip sleeping mask. These are the business!! I got them as miniatures but I am going to invest in the full size asap!

I so love this home! To be honest, it’s not completely my style but that does not detract from just how gorgeous it is.
