While in DC, I had the opportunity to meet a fellow fashion consultant in the U Street/14 Street Corridor (aka where I choose to hang in DC for some edgy style and modernist gems!).
I found the lovely Brandi Welch at a fabulous neighborhood contemporary store called Muleh, which sells a blend of modern furnishing, clothing and (my personal favorite) accessories! Girlfriend really knows her designs and how to play with proportions, and reminds me of a younger, prettier version of Lil’ Kim (who, by the way, I was positively obsessed with all throughout college… I’ve even introduced hubby to the genius behind the album “Hard Core,” one of the prouder moments in our relationship).
But we digress.
What really sealed the deal for me were her intricately-painted and self-designed nail art. It’s got it all! Tribal, punk, sparkle… and even an ode to the late Keith Haring (how can you not fall in love?). I have been really into experimental nail-decor lately, particularly of the pop-art variety (think: multi-colored nail colors on each hand, as I tried recently with black & gold). Of course, our Brandi here took this concept to a whole other level, and I absolutely adore her for it!
