What does style means to you?
style is a means of expression. you dress according to how you feel & it has no limits. it's one thing people can't point at & say "oh, you did it wrong."
Where/who do you get most of your inspiration from?
i see a lot of dopeness on the net. if i like it, i might adopt it or do my own spin on it. i'm not a big "name brand" person. i like what i like.
What inspired you to start blogging?
i was going through a really tough time in college & in my personal life. it was a way to vent. to let everything out that i kept bottled up.
What inspired the blog title?
pillow talk & confide lol. it's a line from wale's "the manipulation pt. 2". "pillow talk & confide, make your secrets all mine." he's one of, if not, my favorite rapper. first thing that popped in my head when i was thinking of a blog title.
What does Black Fashion and or black people in fashion mean to you?
black people in fashion are a statement all in itself. there's so many negative views on black culture. to see people being original and doing something they enjoy, it inspires me to continue to do what i love.
