Black History Month and the appreciation of CLASSICS!!

"Life is not a dress rehearsal", I was told by an old manager as she complimented me on a beautiful a-line royal blue Kenneth Cole dress which I still have today. The timelessness of the dress means that I have had it over a decade and its a gift that keeps on giving.

Jolie Takai is that timeless piece just look at the young bride Rukiya Brown featured below in her stunning wedding dress nicely accessorized with a Rose Gold and Pearl headpiece with earrings and bracelet to match, which we like to call "the Crowning Moment" series. The picture on the right has model Stephanie Cunningham and you can see by her innocent but sensual eye contact that beauty is in the secret language of expression.

Jewelry like this exceeds trends and moments, like fashion it can resurface with a hashtag or a great contemporary store that sells history and entertains that wishlist of items you thought you might never see again. Jolie Takai is the item that is at a store near you; you need a timeless piece or heirloom like a cowrie shell stud or cufflinks (i'm thinking Sammie Davis Jr.) you can visit Granru Market.

They are located at 618 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn Ny, 11225...I mean 🤷🏾‍♀️ anything described as Urban Vintage Mix means you might hear some Mary J. Blige music shopping for that all purpose hoodie that we all need. Stop by and say hello they are "new" to the neighborhood or a resurrection of classics one could say you might even find some Karl Kani.

Also we want to give a shoutout to the instagram live that took place on Monday. Following last weeks OMHH #EmpowerSis segment it was one of those virtual lives you wish you were there for. Jolie Takai was featured to showcase those wonderful pieces everyone cannot stop talking about.

Stay tuned because there is so much happening and Jamila Corks thanks you for the continued support ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎💞
