How black TV shows about female friendship are necessary for style trends in 2016

 Being a millennial is very strange if you were born in the early 1990s. You have the technology and trends of the 2000s and 2010s, but you still remember some of the culture of the 1990s and feel some kind of an obligation to keeping those memories alive. Growing up, I loved watching shows from the ‘90s, particularly shows with African-Americans being at the forefront. … Continue reading How black TV shows about female friendship are necessary for style trends in 2016

    Selena Quintanilla Perez was a Mexican-American singer and the fan-proclaimed, “Queen of Tejano music”. While there’s no denying Selena’s amazing voice and fabulous dance moves, her influence on the fashion industry can’t be denied. Selena’s fashion sense was something that was ahead of the curve, from her bustiers to her Chanel brick lipstick (which I just discovered has been discontinued for awhile now *insert tears here*). She loved fashion as much as she loved music, as it was her passion for the industry that started the launch of her boutique and salon “Selena Inc.” in Corpus Christi, Texas, her hometown. Many of Selena’s looks of the 90s have inspired many looks shown from singers today from all different genres of music. So today, Here Comes The Chic thanks Selena for her influence on the world with her beauty, grace and style. Continue reading “Chicable Mentions: Selena”
