Sak pasé sweeties?! 🙂

I’ve got BIG news📣 to share in today’s blog post and I’m skipping the long talk to dive right into my first-ever collaborative design experience. If you’ve been visiting the blog since summer started, you may have noticed I’ve been teasing the fact that I’m working with some pretty incredible boss women as of late. And lemme tell you, this most recent collab is definitely one of my all time faves. Scroll to see my latest fashion obsession: The Paige Dress. 👇🏾

Yes, sis! You read that right. This right here is thee Paige Dress. 💃You can source this pretty pick along with countless other lewks from female-owned (and Black-owned) label, AboveandBeyondDzyns. This dress is a treasured garment for me because of the impeccable detail, glove-like fit and beautiful print that’s unmistakably and beautifully Black. The brainchild of Creative Director and boss lady👸🏾 Jennifer Anidu, the brand’s mission is to bring back the respectability of fashion along with touching the lives of those who wear her pieces. I was blessed enough to inspire a dress design, and you already know I’m wearing this jawn every chance I get!

AboveandBeyondDzyns is an atelier👗 of sorts that takes custom measurements and the perfect fit beyond seriously. Jennifer works with even the most minute details to make sure each piece is designed to make you feel your most comfortable and beautiful at the same time. If you’re struggling with what exact numbers are needed, this helpful Measurement Chart keeps things simple.✂️

With quality craftsmanship usually comes a hefty price tag. Luckily, AboveandBeyondDzyns offers tailored, custom orders at a price point that a fashionista on any budget can afford with ease. Most pieces are well under $100 and can be worn to an array of events or engagements, making them a worthy investment. In addition to top-notch customer service, every client is treated like royalty during the design process.👑 Jennifer works directly with you to ensure your garment exceeds every expectation. Although the boutique is based in McAllen, TX, fittings can be done virtually in a matter of minutes! ⏰

If you’re impatient like me and you can’t wait on a custom design order, AboveandBeyondDzyns offers a range of garments that are available for purchase on their e-store.💻 I’ve pulled a few of my favorites so you can get started on filling that cart!
