G O L D E N S E N S E.: I'm Featured on BlackFashion.tumblr.com "Fashionista of the Week"

I was approached by the lady behind BlackFashion.tumblr.com Javanell, expressing her interest in featuring me as Fashionista of the week. I was so honored and surprised because I've been a follower of BlackFashion since Ive been a member of tumblr and been one of the many who submitted photographs of my looks to the site. So, this isn't my first feature on BlackFashion but this one means the most. It hasn't really crossed my mind that I am being noticed on this site because theres just so many faces that are featured daily. Check out my interview with Javanell below and click here to check out my feature and hopefully you reblog :)

Q&A with BlackFashion

(BlackFashion) What were your goal for creating sablagoldensense?

My initial goal for my blog sablagoldensense.blogspot.com was for it to be a fashion blog because around the time I was a huge reader of many fashion bloggers such as Karen of www.wheredidugetthat.com, and Travis Gumbs & Joshua Kissi of www.StreetEtiquette.com. But over time as GoldenSense progressed as well as I, I realized Im not just about Fashion, Im about music, poetry, art, etc also. So, that’s what I wanted to showcase and that’s exactly what I began to do.

Who inspired your style most in 2011?

Menswear inspired my style in 2011 but not more than my own personal creativity and taste. I don’t want to wear something that makes someone say “this look like something such & such would wear,” I want it to be like “This look like something Sabla` would wear.”

How would you describe your personal style?

Ahh! This question has always been a tough one for me. I guess I will describe my style as eclectic, comfortable, creative, and a bit obnoxious on occasions.

Who are your favorite designers?

My favorite designers are Carly Cushnie & Michelle Ochs of Cushnie Et Ochs and of course Alexander McQueen because he was more than a designer, he was an artistic GENIUS. The stuff he came up with was beyond spectacular and breath taking.

Style Icons?

Solange Knowles, Erykah Badu, and Janelle Monae

Favorite/Least Favorite current Fashion Trend?

I Love the whole ombre & color blocking trend. I dislike the patriotic trend of sporting the American flag everywhere especially if you’re not even patriotic.

If you could what trend from the last 2 decade would you like to bring back?

Well, I hate everything that was trending in the early 2000’s but the 90’s I feel everything amazing has been brought back or have been attempted to be brought back. I’m going to get a bit crazy and say reeboks, I want to see them make a comeback again and how they will throw their brand mainstream again. Maybe they should partner up with Jeremy Scott.

Does your everyday life play a role in the way you dress?

Yes it does. It goes with how Im feeling that day or how much time I have. Plus going to a very creative school I can get away with some “obnoxious” looks without being patronized about it.

Besides blogging school and etc. Do you have any projects you are working on?

It may not be considered a project but Im an athlete, Im captain of the Softball & Track Team, and co-captain of the Volleyball Team. Im focused on winning medals and plaques this year so Im training hard. But to get back to Fashion, I am working on a collection with a very good friend of mine.

When you hear the term "BlackFashion" What comes to mind?

I think of Black culture being conveyed through Style & Fashion in an influential, powerful way. When I hear Black I think of Power, when I hear Fashion I think of Influence. Black Fashion is Powerful Influence.
