A modern day example of being the change you want to see is Sharmadean Reid as she opened Wah Nails in response to the void she experienced at nail salons. The then successful stylist [formerly assisting Nicola Formichetti and scoring a Nike styling campaign], Reid opened the nail salon in frustration to nail artists who begrudgingly conceded to her design requests, not some long aspiration to do so. So when one manicurist completely refused to do the Dior Double french mani she ask for, that was the last straw.
She paid the lease and didn’t even have enough to outfit the space, enlisting her boyfriend on construction duty. But the will and the way came together and the rest is history or maybe even inspiration for your tricked out nails right now!

Before Made Her Think, Noir and the likes there was Anna Sheffield. Known for her knack for finding edge in simplicity, her double bar rings and rivet studs are classics. One of my fave jewelry designers, Anna has delved into the bridal realm, just as I’ve become more interested in engagement rings [putting that energy out there!].
But what’s my point? I ran into Anna herself! Having not looked at a shot of her in forevs, it didn’t dawn on me until…well…until she handed me her card and I nearly burst into tears! You gotta love a designer who’s work and self image speaks volumes!
Name an editorial that natural, cropped hair Solange has appeared in that didn’t give you your whole entire life. Right, impossible. No such thing. Rubbish.
The singer/song writer and quirky sister to Beyonce does it again in the most recently appeared in feature by London’s Evening Standard. View all the shots here and snippets of the feature. And let’s also get into how timely the style direction is. I have to note that the ’60s has a huge impact on Spring trends this year!
She discusses the benefits of a good sex life:
So how does the new album sound? ‘There’s a lot of sexual vibes on it. I think I just finally started having good sex,’ Solange says, before smiling a touch coquettishly. ‘This woman came up to me the other day and said, “You know, I think people dress a lot better when they’re in love with themselves, with other people, or with where their life is.”?’
And the real deal on the recording deals:
Why isn’t she signed to a major label? ‘I don’t think there’s a need if you are able to fund it yourself and have a strong sense of development as an artist. It means you aren’t dependent on some A&R dude to position you with writers or producers or figure out your next direction,’ she says. ‘Major labels act as banks in terms of how they produce and release your album. No major label is really good or bad, they just 100 per cent operate as a business, which makes sense… no hard feelings.’
