Good Morning sis! Listen, not too much on my hair😩ok? I just took out my braids, lightly blow dried it and threw some curls in it for the video!🤦🏾♀️ I’ll get it together! 😂Have a wonderful week!!❤️❤️❤️
Good morning gorgeous! Everlane has a cardigan that’s similar to that $1900 cardigan. Mango has a burgundy shorter version of that BR coat for much less with a huge glam collar. Enjoy your new jewels 💎 ❤
I Truly look forward to viewing your videos on Sunday mornings💜 I enjoy your picks and recommendations. And I appreciate your research delving deeper into why we wear what we wear👏🏾
I absolutely ❤ the jazz music in the background with your calming voice. My music choices are old school hip hop, r&b and afrobeats. In this vlog the jewelry is lovely. Oh and the gold shirt, sequin and fur pieces are 🥰🥰. Happy Holidays Kura.
I always forget to add afrobeats! I've trully fallen in love with that genre recently! I'm really getting into it! Thank you for taking the time to watch! Have a great week!❤️☺️
Omg I’m 66 & I still love House music!! My favorite is old school R&B mostly slow jams .. I love salsa, reggae & old school disco 12in remix ‘ RU-vid is great!! I will check out your fashion tips today❤
Keep showing us what YOU like! We like you and your style, that's why we're here. The music question is really interesting...I listen to 80's era new wave, a little Elvis, and a bit of classic hip hop. Now that I think about it, my clothes kind of reflect that mix too!
Good morning, Sis! You and your hair look so healthy. You kill me every time speaking on your hair. You're fabulous! The jewel colored pieces, especially that purple fur, are so pretty.
Good Morning sis!! Thank you so much❤️ Social Media has me feeling like I need a 30 inch buss down.😂 My hair is always a “thing” for me smh…That purple fur!!! Omg!!😩🤦🏾♀️
Ok, that feather shirt, is a wishlist item. I love it! Love that brown cardigan, but no way on Earth will I pay almost to 2K for it😮😮 Love that brown sweater in that exact color👌 Never been a fan of those GIVENCHY boots....never resonated with them. And yes, I see your name on that aubergine jacket😂😂😂 And down to the music anf and fashion style, this was a very fantastic topic. Never thought of the two being related. My favorite genre is Country, and I love Jazz... AND I realized that I don't know if it correlates with my fashion sense. 😂😂😂😂😂 That will be my assignment for the week. Have a fabulous one, sis
Girl ,2K for that sweater is interesting! What could it possible be made out of to justify that price?! It's cute, but it shall be cute in the store for now 😂 YOU SEE MY NAME ON THE JACKET TOO RIGHT?! It's beautiful😂 My music and fashion idea may not work in your case.🤷🏾♀️ I'm trying ti figure out how country music and jazz would manifest into fashion and I'm STUMPED! 😂 Let me know what you come up with! Enjoy the rest of your week!❤️
Ok. I have to……I opened up your video on Sunday morning alone as I’m drinking my coffee. I’m very excited to watch what your going to teach me and and I gasp out loud in a room by my self …..my gosh you look thin!!! Beautiful lady❤just beautiful either size but you can tell your putting in the work. And your be rewarded!! Very inspiring for sure. 🥰
😂 Omg thank you Erin! I'm not there yet, (at least 15 more pound 🙄😩 ) but I truly have been working so hard! I had to make a change and I finally can see some results! Thank you for saying it, because I needed to read this to keep me motivated!💪🏾 Have a wonderful week!☺️
Not sure. Overall, what I like, is not a particular genre per but the traditional as opposed to the experimental. I like jazz and a favourite artist is Robert Glasper. He is a genius. His music is influenced by his jazz ancestors, while embracing other key traditional African American music forms like blues, gospel and RnB. I like reegae too but again I like roots reggae not it's many modern manifestations, for e.g. dancehall. As for country and western, I like bluegrass. In every genre, I like the traditional so I'm not sure what that looks like sartorially.
Do you tend to dress classically? Conservatively? Do you partake in trends or do tend to stick to what you know ? It sounds like you find comfort and ease in the tradtional. From traditional jazz to early reggae it all comes with a sense of uniformity yet layback ease. Blue grass , jazz , and reggae for example all have a quite layback feel to them. I would love to know the three words you used to describe your style. There is most certaintly a pattern here. This is very interesting!
Your hair? Just beautiful@ fabulous, natural and soooo, class! Women will be and feel free the day they will stop the hair and handbags drama. maya Angelou, Miriam Makeba hair. Anna Wintour handbag less life are some examples..
Ahh to feel free from my hair!! It hautns me.😩 I'm really starting to believe that less is more when it comes to my hair. I'm working my way through that idea.
I think you’re right! Over the last year or so I have been listening primarily to jazz, as well as, Christian music. Both correlate with the way I dress 😊 Had never thought of that before!
Love your videos sooooo much. You exude class, elegancy with a bit of edge. Above all I love how you also vocal about being financially responsible because the majority of influences do not preach this.
Thank you for taking the time to watch.❤️ For some reason I feel obligated to talk about price and being financially responsible. I love making videos, but part of me hates that someone may not be set up in the future because I told them the "Shoes of the season"🤦🏾♀️ It's a catch 22!😩
Loved this video! I see my style as cool, classic, ladylike with a slight edge. I never thought about it before, but my music preferences definitely reflect this. Jazz, r&b/funk and classical are my favorites
The music for sure matches each and every one of those women lol! I wonder if those are actually thier favorite genres of music? Watch me COMPLETLY OFF!!😂
Great video as always. Let me answer your questions (1) I love the Idyl pieces. Very much simple elegance which you can wear on all occasions. (2) It's funny you mentioned Banana Republic, I was on their site last week stalking the most PERFECT leather jacket (which will be a gift to myself). They have definitely gone to another level. (3) Oh yes music and fashion are symbiotic for me. I am Jill Scott basically lol -- sexy, romantic, poetry; and even when I branch out, I come back to that.
1) Simple elegance is exactly how I would describe the Idyl peices! 2) Banana Republic has been out doing themselves! 3) Jill Scout was the ONLY thing I listened to in the early 2000😂 There was somthing so sensusal about her music! I mean, her first album still lives rent free in my head! "He loves me" HIT EVERY .SINGELE.TIME !! Now I'm about to listen to it all week! 😎
Great video Shukura! The jewelry is beautiful. I already have diamond studs and those added pieces you showed are calling my name. They’d make a great update.
Thank you Michelle! I love those added peices! They truly take the studs to the next level ! Thank you for taking the time to watch! Have a great week!❤️
My favorite music is jazz as well, but my 2nd favorite is 80s R&B and pop (really anything from the 80s). I'd say my clothing style is closer to jazz. I'm not crazy about 80's style clothes and don't feel nostalgic about them. But I love the fashion of the 30s and 40s and really lean towards anything that gives those eras.
I am definitely eclectic...love most music genres...but I think that i like a classical base in everything whether dressing or music and then jazzing it up. Another enlightening episde Shukura( forgive me for any error in spelling)..
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the way you switched up your delivery of your videos. You are not just “showing clothes” never thought about correlating music with a person actually style. Honestly I have always left comments about how I love the bits of jazz music that you add and honestly, I don’t really listen to jazz but it’s so relaxing and romantic and it speaks to my soul. I also own the evil eye and the celestial modular earrings from Idyl and I love ❤❤❤❤❤❤ them. The white gold and diamonds just stand out. I am going to work towards a necklace but I do love the gold hoops/ diamonds. You can build points to apply towards future purchases as well.

Congratulations on the colab! Can’t think of a more classy and elegant representative! 😍 Idyl offers soooo many lovely pieces! Luv luv luv when you share your beauty and skincare favorites along with so many great fashion and styling options! 😊…….BTW Like you, Samara Joy “BRINGS IT!” WHEW!
OMG YES TO SAMARA JOY!!! She sings like she been here before! All that voice form a 24 year old! GIRL!.As always , thank you for your kind words❤️ You know you make my day. Have a wonderful week.☺️
I love the haus labs foundation. I haven’t tried the concealer yet but I’ve heard great things. I won’t be getting that anytime soon but the foundation?
I promise you I was just thinking a few weeks ago.. the way I saw my adult life as a kid was Michael Franks… the way I still see the life I want is still what I think and feel like when I hear Michael Franks. Good video!!
😂😂 When they are first installed, they can be a bit painful. However as time goes on, they loosen up.The weight of them can get to be a bit much sometimes.🤦🏾♀️ So I need to rest my scalp for a while. Hope that makes sense🤗
One size fits all for people who are 100% proportional 😒. I just learned about BR home items too! Whatever they’re doing at BR they are doing a great job. There is a a long satin dress I have my eyes on
Sometimes I feel like we are twins 😂. So many of the things you feature are my vibe or I already have it. Case in point, the purple/eggplant suit from Banana Republic. I have this suit (bought on 50% sale) and really 💕 it. The quality is insane!!! Can’t wait to rock it at an upcoming holiday party.
The more I pay attention the more I understand the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". As I was about to compliment how you look so naturally beautiful and that the natural makeup, gold earrings, red pj's, and your hair pulled back like that gives you a lady of the house glam. You comment and turn up nose at the state of your hair deflated my compliment and really brought that phrase home. 🙃😑🤔🙁😉 The things we say to ourselves...😑
Thank you for you kind words.❤️ While I completly understand where you're comimg from, I think being a person on the internet makes me hyper aware of everything from my hair to the pillows on my bed lol! People can be very rude , terrible and down right nasty. Me bring attention to certain things before they do is a way to disarm those people who choose to tell me my head is to big , my hair looks like a bees nest , and my favorite... my smile looks like the Joker. 🤦🏾♀️ These are all things sombody on the internet has told me.😂 However, I find that if I point something out before they do , I can circumvent thier snide remarks. No it's not the best method but the internet is brutal! I'm just trying to survive. I do however ,completly agree with what your saying and thank you for pointing it out and bringing to my attention.❤️ Have a wonderful week.☺️
@@simplykura Yes, I figured that was the cause as I caught up on 3 other videos after and you did the same thing. Sorry for the rude comments and how they made you feel and have had to apologize for being you. I hope my comment did not offend you. I've seen this happened with other creators too over the years. It's interesting and I wonder what that must do for the psyche. I just watch Devon On Deck (men's fashion CC) talk about the same thing and what he's going to do going forward. I fully understand that where you're coming from. I was a model as a teen in the 90s and I left it for that very reason when a show director suggested I downsize my boobs if I wanted to make it big on the runway and I found myself apologizing profusely as a 17 year old. That was the last time I ever felt the need to conform my personal beauty view to someone else.
@@suspendeddisbelief786 You didn’t offend me at all! In fact , you got me together!!! 😂 I needed to receive that message! It was like a stern talking to from someone who wants you to do better . I get it and I thank you! It’s commendable that you found your voice at 17! I guess I was still looking for mine! I needed this wakeup call. I’m thinking about discussing this in my next video along with what I plan to do about it. I hope you don’t mind if I talk about our interaction. (You helped me more then you realize) Thanks again. ❤
@@simplykura No, I have no problem with you mentioning our interaction. You have the influence to reach those that might need to hear it. I'm glad there was no offense. I think as it's such a personal thing for me I tend to take a stand with it. However, I know we all have our own journey so I have to 🙉🙊 most of the time. Others like Lydia I know has had her own journey with SM. You mentioned Grace and I think Salina and how fab they are, well let's not wait till we are 50 to cultivate that mindset because I want that NOW! 🥰😁 Now I think I need some Eartha Kitt, Sarah Vaughan and my battle cry playlist because this conversation has back some memories. Hope you have a great night and rest of your week.
Good day. I Love your style sessions. Classic, elegant and experimental would represent my style. I absolutely love classical music and jazz. However, I listen to all genres of music. Without doubt, my style is most represented as classic. I love Neutral colors, basics and a bit of, “I did not see that look coming”, style. Thanks for awaking my hidden style potential.
The Idyl jewelry pieces are gorgeous! They look amazing on you Shukura. I think my music does match my style. I love R & B music and some old jazz like Sarah Vaughan Her smooth vocal range is breathtaking. When actor T C Carson sang My Funny Valentine on Living Single….. He did an outstanding job. I was so impressed!
