Happy Wednesday, Fashionistas!

Rumor has it that it's going to be a beautiful 70 degrees here in Denver on Thanksgiving.

I'm super excited about this because I've been loving the beautiful sunsets we've seen, & all of the Fall/Winter colors that are popping out in nature here too. :)

Scroll down for this week's look, featuring this ultra comfy dress by Gwynnie Bee.

I love how fun this dress is. You can either wear it with tights, or without, and it has plenty of room to keep you moving freely as you run around with family & friends!

Black Girls Rock! An Inspired Shoot...

---

---

Happy Wednesday, Fashionistas!

Recently, my sistahfriends and I all came together for a girls weekend in Denver. And, if you know anything about my girls, you know that they're all fabulous, dope women in their own right. :)

From l to r in the pic above, we have the fabulous Jasmine Myrie, violinist Monique Brooks-Roberts, myself Rajdulari, soul singer SUCH, and my sista the dopest spoken word artist, Kerrie Joy.

So, knowing they were all coming to visit Denver, Ryan and I came up with the idea to do a 'BlackGirlsRock'-inspired shoot.

We chose this theme because we wanted to highlight these phenomenal women, who are not only inspirational to me as artists and musicians, they're also some of my dearest friends.

When we asked the ladies if they were down to shoot with us, they immediately said yes, and were all excited to dress up in their fiercest look, and show us what the terms blackgirlsrock and blackgirlpower meant to them.

I love these ladies, and I truly admire them. Read on for more info and to see how much fun we had doing this shoot, and make sure to check out these ladies and their incredible work. I'm sure you'll love them as much as I do!

Special thanks to photographer Ryan Landell for all of the images below.

Happy Wednesday Fashionistas!

My goodness, do I have some exciting news, ladies. :) I've been sitting on a secret that I couldn't reveal to you until today! 

*DRUMROLL PLEASE*

We are sooo excited to announce RajdulariStyle's FIRST EVER editorial, in partnership with our friends over at GwynnieBee!

Gwynnie Bee challenged us by sending us one garment- a Rachel Roy Tuxedo Cape- to style any way we saw fit, for their '1 Look, 3-Ways' campaign.

Photographer Ryan Landell and I decided to give this challenge a try, and we were so pleased with the end result, we decided to share all 3 of our looks with you!

Read on for more details about each look below.

A Day at the Office...

For this look we paired the cape with my favorite pencil skirt, a flowy cream blouse, and gold & red accessories.

In love w/all things Eloquii!

Happy Wednesday, Fashionista!

I've been in love with Eloquii's fashion for a while now. They always have these wonderful pop-up sales with up to 40% off discounts on many items on their site. 

I also love how well their clothing fits my curves comfortably, AND that many of their pieces are so unique! I know that each time I visit the site, I can buy something unique that I can't find anywhere else. :)

Scroll down and read all about this look. Almost everything I have on is from Eloquii, and I think you'll love this outfit!

Style & Grace...

I'm always looking for nice outfits to wear on stage, or at events. And who can go wrong with an all-black look? Wearing all-black and lace, always makes me feel so stylish and graceful...

I also loved the comfort of this skirt, the high waistband, and the length where it falls below the knees.

---

---

When I saw this top I knew it would go perfectly with either a pencil skirt, or a favorite pair of skinny jeans and heels, and I just had to have it!

Check out the comparison below of how the size 14 fits on the model

vs how the size 16 fits my short, curvy frame.
