I loveee the structure and fit of the ‘First Lady’ Dress. It hugs you in all the right places. Oh, it’s also sustainable fashion AND created by a Black woman. The Founder is a D.C. based businesswoman who does not have a degree or background in fashion. When she launched her inaugural collection, she hadn’t even taken a design class! You wouldn’t know any of this by her clothing. First Lady Dress, CottonCanary.com, $129.00.
4. THE LIP BAR
I love their liquid matte lipsticks. They stay put but don’t dry out your lips. My favorite color is Savage. TheLipBar.com, $13.00.
You’ve heard about red bottoms, but what about blue? These Italian shoes are created by Stella Maze. Get into the quality and craft of these shoes, created by a Black woman. Oh, and these shoes are SUPER comfortable and sexy. StellaHues.com, Levy, $1,110.00.00.

Sheila Gray has been in the fashion business for years and her eclectic accessories collection will ensure you are making a statement no matter the room you enter. I’m wearing one of her scarves here, but I also am a huge fan of her harnesses. SheilaGrayCollection.com, http://www.sheila-gray-collection.myshopify.com, Prices Vary.
7. COMPASS BY EVITA
Evita Robinson, the founder of Nomadness Tribe, created these beautiful lipsticks inspired by travel from all over the world. I love tubes with a perfect brush to allow for a smooth application.
