Nubia's Nonsense: beauty.

Heart, Be Still...

Mattel Barbie dolls have been breaking the mold lately and changing for the very best. They're focusing more on inspiring young girls to be not only beautiful but SMART too and independent, career chasers. Recently, Barbie has designed dolls to represent artist Frida Kahlo, NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson, Olympian Chloe Kim & more. Now they have added another woman that many of us definitely look up to, Iris Apfel! YES!!! I'm a big Iris Apfel fan. Her style, spirit, and way of life are huge inspirations to me. Iris Apfel has a very successful career in interior design for over a decade and a very interesting life in general. She's the unofficial queen of accessories. Anyone who hasn't watched the documentary 'Iris" definitely should. She's someone the youth should aspire to be like.

Hey Nubians,

Today's Monday Life & Style Muse is the great Katey Sagal as Peggy Bundy on Married With Children. See that gorgeous face right there? What a mega babe.

Sure many may know Peggy as a sarcastic woman, who was lazy and just sat on the couch all day eating Bon-Bons and watching Oprah but how can that be? Have you check that body out? There's no way! How about all the time that must have gone into hair maintenance, she was clearly busy.

She cooked... sometimes (~~ok barely never~~) and topped everything off with a nice dressing of cigarette fog.

And she knew the importance of working out. Check out the leopard leotard. She was the queen of leopard to me back in the day, she wore the print all the time.

Here she is cooking again, a nice salad. (haha)

She always knew how to accessorize nicely.

And even made working at a fast food joint look good. Always making the best out of any situation.

Peggy absolutely knew how to have a good time.

And bond with Al every-so-often.

She knew how to be sexy when it was time. (~~or when she wanted something~~)

And knew how to have some attitude when needed. I love a woman who can stand up for herself.

So many amazing characteristics live inside of Peggy Bundy. I mean, look at that face. So angelic. Plus she knew how to dress. Leggings, heels, tops with patterns or funky colors and a nice belt to cinch that waist. What a FOX.

Here's a little quick collage I made of a bit of a more modern day Peggy Bundy. The basics are still there, cheers!

Hey Nubians,

Life has been fun lately. I've been up to a lot which I hope to speak more about soon. Fashion, life, exploring, moving around, trying new things, everything has been enticing to say the least.

On another note, I love American Apparel high-waited jeans,, if you don't own a pair I recommend you try them out. This is a cute and casual little outfit I wore last week. My Not Rated oxfords are insanely comfortable.

Moving on, I was born and raised in NYC and it's been nice to be around so much green and nature lately and not around so much buildings. Something about being able to hear my own thoughts is quite nice. The air even smells different (takes a deep breath).
