Anime LA photo dump πŸ“Έ Still recovering from con crunch + the con in general. I had work the next day & had to create a costume for work in 1 day 😩😭 So much sewing! Plus I need to finish up some etsy orders from my brand @l.royaltyclothing I had a great time & didn't take enough photos, but it's ok, next time I'll be better prepared for the con. 😌 #conventionlife #concruch #cosplay #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplayingwhileblack #cosplayphotography #animeconvention #cosplaygirls #cosplayer #beastarscosplay #beastars #postcon #confriends #photodump (at AnimΓ© Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYm3GU6Phqz/?utm_medium=tumblr

πŸŒΌπŸ‡ Do you want to join flower club? ➑️➑️➑️ I had a great time at Anime LA this year. My first con in over 2 years. It was great seeing friends I hadn't seen in a hot minute. 😌☺️ I swear forgot how to con frfr. 🀣 How was I doing several costume changes a day on top of panels & obligations? Whew! I definitely need to work my stamina back up! I only had 1 panel & 1 autograph session & 2 cosplays with my group @cho_co_co3 and still felt like it was too much. Haha πŸ˜… Anyway, I hope you enjoy my 1st cosplay for 2022! Haru from Beastars! Hopefully I can make more cosplays this year! P.S. Anime LA was really strict with their vaccination policy & mask policy so that was why I felt safe going. You could not even pick up your badge unless you had your vax card & matching ID. πŸ’‰ #animeconvention #cosplaygirls #cosplayer #cosplayingwhileblack #cosplayphotography #animela #animelosangeles #beastarscosplay #beastars #haru #bunny #cosplay #cosplayersofinstagram (at AnimΓ© Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYkZjXYvaWN/?utm_medium=tumblr

πŸ“’ It's official! My @sheinofficial x @l.royaltyclothing collab collection has launched! πŸ“’ . . . Back in summer I was working on this secret project that I couldn't tell anyone about! I recieved the opportunity to design a capsule collection for @sheinofficial! This collection was fully designed by me while Shein handled production. There was tons of back & forth, sample fittings, color & print approvals & decision making on what worked in production & what didn't, that I had to handle. Whew! It was a process but tons of fun! . . . This was an amazing experience & a great way to have a platform for my brand! If you shop Shein, then head over and shop my styles. 4 out of 8 of my looks are available now! The other looks will be coming soon! I'll put the link in my bio! . . . . . #designerlife #fashiondesigner #fashionstartup #clothingdesigner #clothingbrand #shein #sheinx #SHEINXLROYALTY https://www.instagram.com/p/CVlQHcUPXfw/?utm_medium=tumblr

I know you didn't think I was done posting these amazing photos by @blackwell.photos πŸ§šπŸΏβ€β™€οΈπŸ§šπŸΏβ€β™€οΈπŸ§šπŸΏβ€β™€οΈ . . . This was my first cosplay I've made in a long time. Whew! I just realised this. I probably won't start going to cons until 2022 though. I haven't spent my 2020 or 2021 working on cosplays, I've been working on my clothing brand @l.royaltyclothing & I love it! It feels wonderful to create art that people want to buy. Thankfully I've been receiving orders every month. I still do cosplay commissions here & there, but I'm focusing on building my brand & YouTube channel. πŸ§šπŸΏβ€β™€οΈ . . Also... we have the full moon energy tonight! What are you releasing this month? Negative thoughts? Toxic relationships? Bad coping mechanisms? βœ¨πŸŒŒπŸŒ‘ whatever it is, let it go & start fresh! . . . #blackgirlmagic #unicornvibes #BlackFaeDay https://www.instagram.com/p/CPWAFKTjOyS/?utm_medium=tumblr

✨ Make a wish πŸ¦„ . . . . . . . #blackfaeday is a day for Black folks to be whatever fantasy creature or being they want. @blackfaedayofficial created this hash tag for fantasy representation in the Black community as well as a fun dress up day for us content creators! I had sooooo much being apart of this. While my costume didn't come out completely like I wanted it (I wanted more ruffles & sparkle but ran out of time) I still had fun making this look & becoming the unicorn fairy I wanted to be. πŸ¦„βœ¨πŸŒˆ . . . . πŸ“Έ by @blackwell.photos (she also picked the location for the shoot & was great at directing me the whole time Haha) . . . πŸ’„ by my twin brother @rashon.wilson he freestyled that morning with my makeup & made sure I had my horn which he made on the fly that day. . . . #BlackFaeDay #blackgirlmagic #blackcreators #fantasyday https://www.instagram.com/p/COoxLr_jhCo/?igshid=ggg60zfwlnwj
