          In this photo series, I wanted to capture the style and attitude of a woman with both around the way appeal, and high fashion qualities and taste. Her style is always bold and a tad sporty. I combined retro feels with modern day pieces to create an eclectic version of street style with vibrant prints, colors, and textures. Model Kayana Howard embodied the concept naturally and perfectly. Photographer Damon Rice captured the many layers of each look impeccably. Makeup Artist Ty Hubert created gorgeous cohesive yet clean makeup looks.

"THE SARTORIAL SAVIOR": FEATURING DOMINIQUE HARRIS, CAPTURED BY SKY LA FLAME & LORD GEEZUZ, AND STYLED BY SHARRA GREENE

CREDITS: 

Photographers: Shots by Sky LaFlame & Lord Geezuz

Model: Dominique Harris with Genesis Level

Stylist & Creative Director: Sharra Greene

A few images of my fave look from my most recent editorial shoot where I was lead stylist and creative director. I love working with model Dominique because she can embody just about any character that I can dream up. Here, her look was inspired by "a style super hero" type of chick that I created in my head a few weeks back. The super hero mixes prints and textures impeccably and uses her clothing and accessory game to create interesting shapes and silhouettes on her body. She shows just the right amount of skin and she has just the right amount of edge. She's on a mission to share her gift of garb with the world, aspiring to help others reach their maximum style potential. So, I decided to call her the Sartorial Savior. Street style photographers Sky La Flame & Lord Geezuz did an amazing job capturing the look. 

Prepare for a Rescue.

On a Mission. 

Mission Complete. Dominique is wearing a motorcycle leather jacket, Swank Blue Hibachi for Lunch sheer geometric print gown, bebe bandage skirt, Pretty Little Thing oversized Diamonte square earrings in silver, Forever 21 bangle, rings, and aviator shades (similar ones here), with vintage Colin Stuart crocodile print knee boots. 

Stay tuned for a brand new interview with a style savvy guest and more styled content coming very soon to the blog! Feel free to comment your thoughts on this look below and subscribe to the right to never miss a post!

THE POWER OF BEING "LADY-LIKE" (WHATEVER THAT IS)

Written & Styled by Sharra Greene | Captured by Allen Stewart

     So while I was preparing for this shoot, my makeup artist and I were talking and she asked me what I would be wearing. Upon me mentioning that I was wearing a skirt, I told her how much I love skirts (anyone who truly knows me, knows this) because they make me feel really feminine, lady-like  and chic. She then added "and so empowered, too!" I've never related to something so much in my life. Our conversation drove me to start thinking about the different perceptions that people have of what it truly means to appear and "behave like a lady". 

     I'm usually the one who shows up and hears a comment like "why are you so dressed up?" or "It's not that deep, you didn't have to wear a skirt." I always find these comments funny because as someone who explores self expression through style so often, it comes so naturally to me so I never really think of it as "over dressing". I enjoy getting dressed up for life so much for several reasons, one of them being because when I look good, I feel good. I feel like I can take on whatever comes my way. Though there is soo much more to me than the way that I dress, expressing myself through dress actually does make me feel both feminine and empowered, all at once.

     By definition, "lady like" means "appropriate for" or typical of a well-bred, decorous woman or girl. But to me,  it's interesting how as fashion and society evolves, our standards of what it means to be "lady like" has evolved with it in so many ways. Some may feel that you have to dress modestly, have a certain set of manners, or perform certain tasks to be essentially valued as an authentic woman with a sense of class and integrity.  This idea is often pushed on women in society. However, in today's world, I am so glad that so many of us (myself included) are creating our own standards and embracing whatever truly makes us feel good as women. 

When someone suggests that one needs to increase value, strength, or power in a stuation, we often hear "Man up!"  Well I'm here to tell you that there's nothing more powerful than a lady who is authentically herself, and who feels free enough to express that in whatever positive, inspiring way that she can think of. I believe that when a woman feels free to be herself, she is then best able to live her best life and add value to the lives of others. Whether it's wearing a skirt,  speaking up for yourself, spreading love and light to others, or all of the above, do whatever makes you feel "lady like". Woman up.
