How awesome is it that you are starting the first day of the month reading this special #FashionFridays segment !
It always brings a smile to my face when I see people close to me doing well and that’s what’s going to make this segment so special to me.
While doing my weekly magazine shopping I came across the December/January issue of XXL magazine. The first thing I notice is Chris Brown and when I look closer, he is wearing the “Holy Crew” tee from the Spring 2013 collection of my friends Quinn Aston and Ugo Mozie of Aston Mozie clothing line! I had the opportunity to meet and become great friends with both Quinn Aston and Ugo Mozie around the beginning of 2010. I attended their first Fashion Week fashion show and from there it was history.
Today, I am highlighting Ugo Mozie, Fashion Stylist extraordinaire.

This past week has been full of several events that allowed me to show off my personal style. Per last weeks #FashionFridays , we are all aware that I had the opportunity to attend the HOPE Youth Inaugural ball. In addition to the ball, yours truly hosted a fashionable happy hour event at Fever Bar & Lounge. This piece allows a closer look at the face and style behind #FashionFridays a.k.a Moi !
In chronological order, the first event up was the HOPE Youth Inaugural ball.

This week’s #FashionFridays is for the guys.
Why? Men love fashion as well.
BUT What do men love more than fashion? Sports.
Thus, I decided to combine the two for this week’s #FashionFridays.
Not only did I want to shed light on how sports can relate to fashion, but I also want to shine the light and introduce the DMV to people that are doing great things in our area !
World, I present to you the So Icey Boyz.

What Celebrity Do You Look Like?
In the words of the great Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock, “IT DOESN’T MATTER” !
When someone asks do I know who I look like, my response is always Christina (or one of my parents). After all, that is who I am.
Who are you?
Just as a disclaimer, I am not against the entertainment industry I just want to open your eyes to how we idolize normal people. We see images of celebrities and it can automatically do something to our self-esteem. We start comparing our body to theirs, our closet to theirs and our careers to theirs. I know you all are wondering how does this relate to fashion. We are dressing up the inner you today! People base their entire outward appearance and conduct themselves certain ways because of what is portrayed in the media. Over the past years, there have been issues of eating disorders, suicides and other disheartening events that occur due to peer pressure placed on us by the media.
Considering this blog is for you all, I wanted to get some feedback on your self-image. I conducted a survey asking people on the East Coast one question:
In What Ways Does The Media Affect How You View Your Self-Image / Status?
Below are my favorite 8 responses. I know 8 are a lot to read but the responses are from different genders, ages and ethnicities and they are extremely interesting. I want to personally thank everyone that responded to the question! Ok here we go !
“Hip-hop videos, ads, and several sitcoms have been engrossed in the spirit of consumerism. Everywhere I look, something implies that if you do not purchase a certain set of items at a particular price range, you're not a good enough "person" or if you haven't purchased a certain set of "lifestyle" pieces as advertised on certain talk shows, you're not "in" with society, therefore dehumanizing your status as a "person" based on materials. That's what I've seen and used to be caught up in based on the media”
“Social Media has made me feel more human. Being apart of multiple social networks has exposed me to just how similar and yet very different my peers are to each other and to me”
