Happy Friday Friends

I have been pretty quiet on here the last two weeks and I apologize. My heart has been heavy and I have been processing emotions that are hard to understand and trying to find the best way to utilize my voice. I am saddened that our beautiful world can be so full of hatred. After a lot of listening and processing feelings and emotions I know that I want to be a better ally.

I know that I can do better.

I want to share more diverse beauty

I want to live more inclusively.

I want to share more inclusively.

I want to do better.

I want to be better.

Better beyond this moment in history. Better beyond the social media posts (which are still very important)

It is so so important that this work continues on forever.

Today on the Friday Five I want to share with you 5 incredible accounts owned by beautiful black creators/designers/influencers. I know you will love these accounts as much as I do.

Wait You Need This

Janelle Marie Lloyd

 

Janelle shares her personal life, shopping finds, and all things interiors. She has backgrounds in both the interior design industry as well as the fashion industry. She shares so many incredible and achievable looks as well as attainable everyday stylish living. You will get sucked into this one!

Coco Cozy

Colette Shelton

 

Coco Cozy was one of the first blogs I started reading back when I had my first child. Colette is an executive by day, interior design guru/blogger by night. Named one of Forbes Top 30 Influencers, Colette has now created a huge fan base as well as her own furniture/textiles line. I love her simple yet classic approach to style and design. A must follow if you don’t already!

Diane Hill Design

Diane Hill

 

Diane Hill is an incredibly artist who specializes in one of my favorite areas, Chinoiserie. She was trained by Chinese artists and taught their traditional ways of painting. She works with both private and commercial clients to create both handmade wall coverings and bespoke murals. I would love to wrap my walls with her beautiful masterpieces.

Madame de la Maison

Ajiri Aki

 

This is one of the most beautiful accounts I have ever stumbled upon. It is full of inspiring photos of the French Countryside. Ajiri will have you wanting to pull out all of your good china for everyday use and move to France. She captures her everyday adventures with her beautiful children. I was immediately sucked in and found it hard to leave.

Prepford wife

Victoria Ford

 

Victoria and her husband Marcus have classic style. I love looking through her colorful account for daily inspiration. Whether she is updating her followers on her One Room Challenge or taste testing all the ginger ales, she is a fun one to follow. I also appreciate her passion for preppy style and design and love watching her DIY’s. Definitely One to follow!
