Before I continue with this post, I would like to wish this certified fashion killa and all around awesome gal a very, very happy birthday! Jordan is someone making huge strides in the Detroit fashion scene - I love her sense of style, her can-do attitude and the fact that she's just one of the most stylish engineers I've ever met! Get to know Jordan in the continuation of our #DetroitXNYFW blogger collab after the jump!
A remarkably feminine yet funky style? Check. A killer attitude and a brilliant smile to boot? Check and check! For the next edition of our Detroit x NYFW Blogger Feature, I am more than happy to introduce to you Melissa Hill, or Mafia Mel, as she prefers to be known in these circles. Mel is definitely something. She is probably one of the more spirited young people you'll get to meet, and she's poised and at the ready for success. There's never a dull moment with Mel, that's for sure!
Get to know Mel a little better with her quick Q& A after the jump:
#NYFW is absolutely in full swing, and we're already getting our fill of the upcoming summer trends for next year. I definitely love what I've been seeing from the shows, and a lot of my favorites didn't disappoint. I should try to showcase some of my favorites here!
As mentioned a couple of posts ago, I had the opportunity to celebrate NYFW right here at home with some of the most fabulous fashionistas in Detroit, and today (and in the next upcoming days), I have the honor to feature these amazing ladies right here on the blog. It's so fun having them here, I figure I should probably do this a little bit more often (give other bloggers a lot of love, I mean!).
To kickstart the series, I would love for y'all to get to know Detroit's premiere plus-size blogger and my dear friend and collaborator, Leah V of Beauty and the Muse. Leah is one of the first bloggers I dutifully followed when I got here in Metro Detroit, and I'm honored to be able to call her my friend. She is as real as real can get, with fantastic style to boot. She owns her body and she owns her style. Girl is always killing it!

Glad to be wrapping up this week on a higher note than usual. Just found out that "Going Home" the little indie me, the husband, and some trusted collaborators made last year (right before we left for the States) made it to the 3rd annual Young Michigan Filmmakers Festival, got selected as a finalist (among more than 70 submissions from the state of Michigan!), and won 1st PLACE under the Dramatic Narrative Category, as well as the Audience Choice Award! Beyond grateful for the city of Leland, MI for screening our film and deeming it worthy of those awards. Glad to know that our short is still making some impact in small but meaningful ways.
