The cooler weather is moving in and I couldn’t be
happier! That means it’s time to bring out the blazers, scarves, and hats!
Since fall is officially present, I’m here to give you a list of the must-haves
of the season!
That 70’s show
The 70’s are back in full swing! I’m loving that most of
the trends of this early fall season consist of memorable pieces of the
70’s!
Move back skinny and boyfriend jeans! Flare jeans are
making a strong come back. I love how you can dress them up with your favorite button up or keep it casual with a v-neck tee.
Need some texture to your outfit? You can do so by adding
a suede skirt or shoes. Also, try it in colors like teal green or navy blue.
Fringe as been a strong trend for the past couple
seasons, you can trust me that it’s still going to be one of the top trends
this season. Be sure to invest in a fringe skirt or boots!
Plaid is everywhere on shirts, pants, coats, and
handbags! Trying something daring season by mixing plaids!
Below is my 70’s inspired look. You can never go wrong
with denim, especially in a jumpsuit! Get
all the details below!

Culottes
These super cute and comfortable pants are a must have for
the fall! They come in different prints, colors and pleats!
Boot Session
What is fall without finding that perfect pair of boots?!
This season the longer the boot, the better! Knee and thigh high boots are set to be an important staple to your closet!
But we also can not forget about the ankle booties. These are certainly my favorite as well!!

When have Converse ever been out of style? These classics
are great with it denim, or you can make your favorite dressy outfit casual.
Vest
If you're a blazer fanatic then that means the blazer vest will be a perfect fit in your closet! I love that they come in different lengths and colors and still have a classic, profession style.
Let's not forget about fur vest! If you still have them in your closet from the past two fall seasons, you're still good!

I know many of us hated them as kids! But we’re older and
we can add some sass to them now! You can wear them fitted, as a cute crop top, or even try the style on a dress! ! Add your favorite statement necklace, some ripped jeans and
some ankle boots, and you have a instant head turning outfit!
Knee Cleavage
That's right, show those knees this season! It’s going to
get cooler and who wants all those holes and rips in their pants?! More jeans are coming like this but it's no big deal to grab some scissors and reconstruct jeans that you already have!
The Hat
I cannot forget about the old faithful accessory for the season!
Big brim and floppy hats are still a signature piece for the fall. You need at least one in your wardrobe. For
me, I have at least 6 in rotation… Don’t judge me! ;-)

A road trip to Atlanta, GA for the One MusicFest was
the perfect way to end the summer season. What a cultural experience!? To see people of different colors, body shapes, and
fashion sense to come together for music was beautiful thing!
The One MusicFest is the Southeast’s most cross genre featuring
a combination of music legends like The Roots and Lauryn Hill and today's new comers in the music industry like Sza and the group The Internet.
I’m a new fan of Sza! Just discovered her a while ago on Instagram
because of her gorgeous big hair and urban style, later to figure out she
was a singer! Unfortunately as we were approaching our field seats she was just
finishing up her performance with her version of "You Make Me Wanna"
by Usher. As from what we could hear she did a great job!
Wale performed a string of his hits like “Bad’, “Matrimony”,
“No hands” and my personal favorites “Slight Work” and “The Break Up Song”. Wale’s
energy is always a 10 on stage and works
hard to keep that momentum going the whole time!
Janelle Monae and the Wondaland shut the stage down
with their musical numbers. I promise they give me a Prince and the Revolution,
and a Earth Wind and Fire vibe! From the stage set up, to the electric and
vintage clothing, I’m here for it!
Janelle Monae sung her hits “Electric Lady” and “Yoga”.
My crew can tell you that I was up dancing the whole time!
Added to the lineup was Jidenna, who is also part of the
Wondaland band. I knew that I enjoyed watching him perform on T.V and seeing
him on the internet but seeing him live was even better! When his chart topping
hit “Classic Man” came on, I can say that no one was sitting down! From the
stands to the field, everyone was dancing and singing along.
Janelle and the band didn’t want to leave the stage without reminding us of the injustice of police brutality in todays time. With the chant “Hell You Talmbout (Say Their Names)” , the audience is in remembrance of the lives that have recently been loss.
Growing up in the 90s was electrifying. The culture of
raw hip-hop, R&B was at it's peak & self-expression/fashion was like no
other. It's not surprising the millennials have gravitated toward the 90s &
2015 is reminiscent of this era.
Young girls such as myself had role models to choose
from: Tia & Tamera, Brandy (love her), Monica, Brittany Spears & the
list goes on & on. A vessel of truth emerged in the 90s by the name of
Lauryn Hill & forever changed the music energy. Hill headlined the ONE
MusicFest mesmerized by her beloved fans with her
effortless talent.
The moment Hill
graced the stage she commanded your attention. Opening with, "I Gotta Find
Peace of Mind," I was immediately lost in the moment & captivated by
the angelic voice before my eyes. The Caribbean arrangement of Ex-Factor,
Fu-Gee-La, Nina Simone's-Feeling Good, Doo-Wop "that thing" (my
fave)--Hill did NOT disappoint. She effortlessly rapped & sung "Lost Ones" not missing a beat (take notes aspiring
female artists). Can we get a new album??? She truly left her fans longing for
more.
With only one album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn
Hill," her body of work resonates today & will continue to be a
musical blueprint that redefined a female rapper, challenged societies
standards, influenced self-worth, value & "queendom". Thank you
for sharing your ART, Ms. Lauryn Hill.
Black magic was in full effect! The fashion &
positive energy made me feel right at home--family reunion style!
"Travel, explore life, get to know yourself
& enjoy every moment!"
Peace & Blessings,
Ebony Fowler
