Bloggerspiration: La Pecosa Presciosa.

by Jamila Pierre


The Precious Freckled Face.

I first stumbled upon Sandra Negron's blog in February of last year when I first launched my very own blog, and I have to say I was digging her look. Like her, and all of the other "BLOGGERSPIRATIONS" I'll be doing inspired by,  they were chosen because there are pieces of either their personality or style that I can identify with. 

In the case of Sandra, it's her fearlessness when it comes to color, prints, layer, you name it. She is not a stranger to mixing it up and experimenting, and that's something I can respect. She most definitely has a style that's her own. (Images of Sandra from her blog Lapecosapreciosa.com)

Look, not everything/every outfit, has to be about clean chic lines and has to have a whole "less is more" approach. Though I do appreciate all of that and the story it tells about the woman who chose to wear it like that, I fully understand the urge to slap someone in the face with with a more robust style approach. In all honesty I''m no stranger to that because that is a big part of who I am.

So whatever Sandra is serving, whether or not you get it or not, I for one can dig it.

So I decided to create a look inspired by a few of her looks.  Take a look at her images above and see if you can tell what inspiration I've pulled.

Bloggerspiration: Girl With Curves.

by Jamila Pierre


I first saw the immaculate style of Tanesha, from "Girl With Curves", a good year before I even started my very own blog. It was a blog mentioned by God knows who, because my memory fails me right now, at a time when I myself was considering my web presence as a fashion/style blogger.

Some, if not most of you, may not know that once upon a time I had a YouTube channel that was style based (basically outfit of the days). During that time I was obsessed with this whole "Love Thy Body Movement", so I inevitably came upon a few blogs that peeked my interest, it essentially inspired me to  take my humble inter-web beginnings (video-wise) and integrate it into a photographic/ written exploration of my personal style.

I am a writer/photographer first above all and I thoroughly appreciate the photos and writings of others. When I was introduced to Tanesha's blog "Girl With Curves", I was pleasantly surprised at how calm and elegant the whole experience was.

You have to understand... I am a very erratic, moody, live wire of a person; so to engage in something so simple as a blog, that can (even for a few minutes) tame my mental state....that's amazing!

From her layout, to her color scheme, to her outfit choices, Tanesha exudes class.

I feel as though her blog should be serving me crumpets and tea while I peruse through her well thought out blog posts.

Some bloggers just have outfit posts, some write extensively with each post, hers seems to veer more towards a gallery/ lookbook, no bells and whistles, just immaculate style ideas for the simple girl (not boring girl) who likes timeless pieces, rich fabrics, and feminine silhouettes.

My style is a jumble of things that can still be discernible as a specific style, though the name of my style may not exactly have a name as of yet, it is however specific...an organized chaos if you will. I enjoy how vastly different style can be interpreted or presented from one person to the next, so I will be exploring some of these styles in future posts.

Me being me, I have to make sure my viewers can identify me within each post, with that said, even though I will be touching upon some fellow blogger inspo, you will undoubtedly see me all up and through there.

I will be doing some inspired looks from some of these modern day celebrities (Bloggers), and showing my appreciation towards their style and at times their online presence/personalities. 

I call it "Bloggerspiration"

This dress I purchased a couple of months before I had ever seen it on Tanesha, had a few ideas on how I wanted to wear it, but never found the occasion to. When I came across a post with her wearing this dress,a light went on in my head, hence the creation of "Bloggerspiration". I took inspiration from her post, added touches of Jamila to it, and here we are.

  1. White button down from JCP.com. $17
  2. Leopard dress from Target.com. $20 (with coupon codes)
  3. Belt from V.I.M. $7
  4. Heels from Ninewest.com. $29.99
  5. Bracelet from Burlington Coat Factory. $5
