Hello, New York Bridal Fashion Week! This week, we

Hello, New York Bridal Fashion Week! This week, we celebrate all aspects of love and marriage with designers reimagining the stunning confections that brides will wear to say “I do.” For plus-size brides, finding the perfect dress can be a source of anxiety, as bridal wear often overlooks larger bodies, particularly during the try-on process.

Every bride, regardless of size, DESERVES the opportunity to try on a dress and envision their big day, rather than simply holding a dress pinned against their clothes due to a lack of larger samples.

Bridal brands that cater to larger bodies have a responsibility to invest in grading their garments for extended sizes. This process requires a keen understanding of fit and proportions to preserve the style and design of the original garment across all sizes.

@watters, led by a powerhouse of multicultural women, offers three labels under the Watters Designs House that cater to sizes 0-32W and grades their plus-size gowns. They also provide six shades of nude lining for their gowns, ensuring that brides of color can look their best in lace and sheer designs.

How was your wedding dress shopping experience?

I have always identified as a maximalist and a lov

I have always identified as a maximalist and a lover of vibrant colors and bold prints. As a Ghanaian, I’ve enjoyed a long-standing love affair with the rich hues of handwoven kente cloth and the vibrant Ankara prints that adorn ornate kaba tops and stylish slits for special occasions, as well as simple house dresses crafted from the remnants of my grandma’s and mom’s custom pieces. My affection for color remains steadfast, but in the past year, black has emerged as my primary sartorial choice. Therefore, I was intrigued when I came across a piece in the New York Times submitted by a reader asking, “Why do so many people wear all black?”

Since becoming a mother a year ago, I find myself standing before my wardrobe each morning, gazing at the vast array of fabrics in every imaginable hue. Yet, despite the spectrum of options, my hand instinctively reaches for the same thing: an ensemble of black. But why?

As new mom I choose an all-black wardrobe for several practical and emotional reasons:

1. Practicality: Black is forgiving with stains and spills, allowing me to navigate my day without worrying about my appearance.

2. **Versatility**: An all-black wardrobe simplifies getting dressed, especially in those sleep-deprived early days, as every piece easily coordinates.

3. Timelessness: Black never goes out of style, helping me look chic and polished without chasing fleeting trends during this chaotic time.

4. Confidence and Empowerment: Wearing black boosts my confidence and helps me feel more put-together as I adjust to my new role.

5. Mood-Boosting: Black has a slimming effect that enhances my self-esteem, especially important during the sensitive postpartum period.

6. Simplicity: An all-black wardrobe reduces decision fatigue, letting me focus on what truly matters—caring for Olivia and myself.

An all-black look combines practicality, comfort, and confidence, making it the perfect choice during this transformative period in my life.

Olivia Grace is ONE YEAR OLD! It’s been a year of many blessings, learnings and celebrations. We also celebrated ourselves as parents and most importantly me as a mother. 365 days of motherhood has changed me for the better. Here’s to a lifetime more.

Join me in wishing @glamazonette a happy birthday.

A year ago today, I was shooting this exact reel for my last campaign for @walmartfashion before giving birth four days later. I have had this video sitting in my reels drafts for a year because at the time I didn’t think “I looked good enough” in this look to post. I was hot 🥵 and sweaty and ready to deliver @glamazonette.

In a way, I’m thankful to have this reminder of how amazing Women’s bodies are and how effortless we sometimes make it seem while bringing a whole new human being into this world.

I saw these photos pop up on my iPhone memories and I gasped because DAMN I looked amazing. This serves as a not so gentle reminder to still take those photos even when you’re not feeling 100% your best because you’ll look back on them and love and be proud. Trust me!
