MarriedToTheMob Leah Mcsweeny

Meet Girlboss and CEO of "MarriedToTheMob" Leah Mcsweeny! This street style wear is a clothing for the girls who took the road less traveled. This is a brand that's for daring, risk taking  girlboss ladies.  The idea for this organic line of streetwear for woman came in 2004.  I recently watched a panel on HerAgenda of leah talking about how she couldn't keep a job because she just hated  authority and that she would just always rather being doing her own thing. I mean that's typically how entrepreneurs think , We don't do well with other people giving us orders we would rather be our own  boss and making all the plans on what's the next move. Being in a industry that's predominately  for males, it can intimidate woman but not leah. She states yes getting the recognition she deserved was hard but that's with any anything weather your a female  or male.  In my opinion you have to make people respect you and your brand. It's not something that's just given.  The girlboss also stated that She gets thrown shade but it's not a pretty industry and it's not for softies.  Being an entrepreneur within in self will have people talking. Saying things like well how does she expect to do this when she doesn't even know how to do x,y,z. People are going to be haters and confused admirers as I like to say regardless, you just have to go out prove them wrong and just do you.    Leah is pretty level headed and strong willed, she doesn't take shit from anyone.  Especially being a woman in the industry , men think we are incapable of being in a  position where we are an authority figure and we call the shots.  We have to remind them we are highly capable of dominating in a man's world. They must of forgot who run the world Girls!

Perfectly Imperfect

Hey guys , so this post is going to be a little different . This topic is something that I have been.wanting to talk about for a while, so I finally decided to do a post on it.  I decided to title this blog post "Perfectly Imperfect" because  In our society we think woman have to be portrayed as "Perfect"   I came to realize a long time ago that , No one is perfect no one! So if they say they are they are lying. We all have flaws and things we would like to change. Now  some of goes to the extent of getting  surgery to fix those flaws and nothing is wrong with that , just as long as you're making a decision to where it's for a good reason and your happy.  Growing up we all watched T.V and looked at magazines and seemingly wanted to look like or be like that person we saw. Growing up for me I dealt with a lot of self esteem issue and so on. But as I have gotten older i've realized to love myself for me and accept my flaws no matter what. My flaws are what makes be beautiful . I've learned to love myself unconditionally and let me tell you , it's been the best thing i've ever done to really truly love myself from the inside out took a lot of work on my part.  Everyone's journey is different but our society needs to stop portraying people in the media as perfect because no one is perfect.  We need to start talking more about self love and self acceptance. That's something the media doesn't talk about, my goal is to empower women to support one another and bring in a sisterhood. To inspire girls and woman and let them know baby girl you have to love yourself a little bit more and a little bit harder.  This society is so dependent on  a woman having to need a man to tell her she's beautiful or smart or talented. If you already know those things then your partner will only have to know it as well.  we wonder why girls are so obsessed with being smaller, prettier etc because they seen things in the media that tells them they're not beautiful oh you have to look like this to be considered as beautiful.  Girls and woman let me tell you this , we are queens, we are beautiful . we are all full of magic . Learn to love the body and skin you are in. Learn to take time to love and appreciate yourself.  My self love journey as been one that has been transforming and truly eye opening. I am 21 going on 22 this year in April . I have learned so much about myself and the things I want in life, the people I want to be surrounded by and the things I want to do.  A all those things though come from self worth and loving yourself whole. So I take a stand to tell you lovely girls , You are all beautiful . You don't have the be the media perception of what they define is beautiful , be your own kind of beautiful. Look in the mirror and say girl you are flawless and full of magic . Don't be afraid to tell yourself I Love You! My fellow queens enjoy your flaws, find beauty in them . They will make you see all the things you didn't before. With love Xoxo-DameshaRae 

Remember this : You don't have to be perfect to be beautiful.

MakeUp Must Have's

Hey my loves, so today i will be sharing with you some of my makeup must have's. Us girls carry so much makeup in our makeup bags and they are our everyday essentials. I know that when I got out with my girls , then I  will just carry the essential in my little clutch , just in case of a touch up. You never know. So down below I  will share with you my favorite must have items. 

Must have #1 Face Powder-  Now personally I use mac Mineralize skin finish. It's a natural face powder that is super lightweight , so it doesn't make you feel like your caking powder on your face. I love my makeup to look natural as possible and not cake face. So girls , you must have a good face powder in your makeup bag or your clutch when you go out for touch ups . 

Must have #2  Nude Lipstick -  Every girl should have a nude lipstick is their make up bag or vanity set. Nude is the perfect go to color for any occasion. It can be sexy and classy at the same time. Most drugstores have great nude lipsticks , you don't have to go to mac or sephora to get a good nude . 

Must have #3 Contour Powder - Hello contouring is my favorite thing ever.  I use bobbi browns contour bronzing powder in the shade deep 4. I love how you can sculpt out the perfect look with bronzer. You can create a really nice tan, glowy look or a more dramatic one. But I choose to stay on the natural side. 

Must have #4 Blotting Sheets - Now if you're someone with oily to combination skin, blotting sheets are your best friend. I get only sometimes , but blotting sheets help to absorb any oils produced on your face throughout the day.  Drugstore have them , sephora and even mac has them. You can pretty much find them anywhere. 

Must have #5 Concealer - Now it's very important to have a good concealer just in  case you want to do touchups throughout the day. But you want to make sure you have a good one that will not crease. Creasing concealer girl is not cute , but that's why you also have banana powder or translucent powder to help with creasing as well. It's better to go with a creamy based textured concealer. 

Back to Basics ,Top 5 Basic Pieces

Now when it comes to street style , It's all about having basic fashion pieces and pairing them with statement pieces to make the outfit pop.  Now street style is one of the most popular fashion trends out there, especially during New York Fashion Week.  I"m going to share with some some of my top 5 basic must have pieces that every girl should have. 

#1 Must have piece is Black Jeans- black jeans are such a classic jean that goes with absolutely anything . I am just now getting a pair of black jeans in my closet like a couple of months ago and they are my favorite go to pants.  They're so comfortable and so classic that it will spice up  any outfit . Of course your black jeans have to be comfortable so make sure you find a pair the suits you. 

#2 Must have piece White T-Shirt- A white T-Shirt is so basic ,but so timeless. Literally you can take a basic white T-shirt throw a scarf around your neck or pair it with some awesome jewelry and it will change a plain white shirt to one stylish basic tee. It's just a piece that every girl should have in her wardrobe , you never know when you will just want to throw on some jeans and a white t-shirt with some sneakers to create a casual yet  cute outfit. 

#3 Must have piece Black Leather Jacket- This is an ABSOLUTE must have. Throwing on a leather jacket with some black jeans and a white tee can change your outfit so fast from basic to stylish biker chick in a matter of seconds. I love leather jackets it's a piece that can really change the whole mood of an  outfit and take it to the next level. 

#4 Must have piece Blazer- Now Blazers are perhaps one of my all time favorite pieces. You can create so many outfit choices around blazers it's crazy.  In the summertime you can wear some shorts, a tank top and throw on a  nice colorful blazer  with some flats  and BAM!! you have a bomb casual yet chic outfit.  Blazers are very professional looking as well  that's why I love them , but you can dress them down or up depending on how you style them . So girl go out and get you a blazer. 

#5 Must have piece Black Heels - Black heels is a must have !!!! you can seriously pair them with any outfit. Also if you don't have any shoes to go with a outfit ,black heels will always do the trick when you're in desperate need.  It's something about a black heel that is sexy yet sophisticated at the same time.  It's very classy but with a bit of sass. 

Hope you enjoyed this post! like and comment

Reading mckenzie blog has taught me a lot nad I'm  always looking to learn new things about blogging and gain more knowledge from my blogger sisters. Being in this industry is a lot of hard work , but worth it. My favorite section on Mckenzie blog is her inspiration section. This section you get to know a lot about the blogger and who she is.  The subjects she talks about and things she touch base on , makes you you able to relate to her  on a different level.  She talks about oppurtunities she has had and experiences that have set her back a little bit but that didn't stop her.   My Favorite posts from that section are "Be better" and "Something personal" because I can relate to both, and hearing some else's story inspires me so much to share mine, and that its okay to believe in yourself and the power of you can do anything you put your mind to. Mckenzie blog is a definite read and I think a lot of you will enjoy her content.  Make sure you follow her on instagram and check out her blog page.
