Deddeh Howard, a Liberia-born, L.A.-based model and blogger, was fed up with seeing fashion campaigns feature so few models of color. So, with the help of her photographer boyfriend Raffael Dickreuter, she re-created major campaigns from brands like Chanel and Gucci fronted by Gisele Bündchen, Gigi Hadid, Kate Moss, and more. She took three months to put it together, making sure photos would look as close to identical as possible from the clothes and accessories to the poses and expressions on her face.

Howard, 27, titled the project Black Mirror and launched it on her blog Tuesday with a call for more inclusivity in the fashion industry. "In a time where Black people too often are in the media for being underrepresented at important events such as the Oscars or make headlines for being targeted by the police I felt it was time to do something positive and inspiring about my race," she writes. "I'm personally fighting for more diversity."

When they said raid you boyfriend's closet, who knew you could come out of it with fashion items that actually work for you? For a long time nobody ever thought that Timberland Boots would actually be worn by women? Most guys would always say that the Boots are too heavy for the fragile little girl to wear, alas! How wrong could they be, in fact I think we ladies rock them better than them. Timberland Boots are a great way of bringing out the Tomboy in you without really loosing your femininity, or if you just want to rock the androgynous look to counter your girly outfit. To really show them off, wear with Skinny Jeans or just normal jeans and roll them up so that the Timberland Boots can really stand out. When it comes to Jeans you can wear your Timberland Boots with Boyfriend Jeans, Destroyed/Distressed Jeans, Dark or Light Jeans and even Skinny Jeans. You can also rock your Timberland Boots with Shorts, or even a skirt. There are no rules when wearing the Timberland Boots as a woman just wear however your mood feels like and elevate the look with accessories to match. Who said ladies cannot handle Timberland Boots, below are the reasons why ladies rock them better.

A very interesting Trend that first appeared in 2015 that I cannot absolutely ignore or let go is the Lampshading Trend. For those not in the know, Lampshading Trend is achieved by pairing an oversize top over either a short skirt, shorts or even tights or knee high boots to achieve a silhouette of a lampshade. This creating the look of a lampshade is where the name originated from, oversize/buggy top and slimming bottom. The top part of the outfit should be long enough that it covers the bottom part of the outfit completely or you can opt to just wear the oversize top that is long enough that your bottom is tights or thigh high boots. This style was made popular by the Kardashians like Khourtney Kardashian was seen in this trend, Kylie Jenner was also spotted wearing the Lampshading Trend. Even Rihanna was in on it. So you can see how popular the trend was and still is. The Lampshading Trend can be achieved by wearing an oversize Chunky Sweater worn over Boots or an oversize Long Shirt. The name may make the Trend seem complicated but it is a simple trend that can be worn by anyone who wants to try something new and exciting. Check out some tips and ideas on how you do the Lampshading trend effortlessly.
