When you uproot what you’ve known for the last 20 years of your life and drop it in the middle of a new city you’ve never experienced before, it’s called re-inventing yourself.

Now what? As I began figuring out this new version of myself, I got inspired by all of the options I could choose from.

But what’s so interesting about deciding who this new version of yourself is, there’s reality, and then there’s the romanticized version. I’ve been able to blend the two pretty seamlessly over the last 4 years and it brought me my magazine.

Now, on the cusp of 30, I’m entering womanhood and all of those precious life moments are happening all at once. Im now navigating those life moments and understanding how to keep Nahdya true to herself, while soon to take on a new last name, and bring my very own offspring into the world.

ED TER

How does Nahdya stay the fabulous, fierce, powerful, stunning, boss babe that she is, while embracing all of these magical God-given life happenings?

The question is still being answered everyday, but, She never gives up on elevating herself, she is constantly seeing her dreams and visions come to life, and she embraces the creativity of others as they share the creative genius in their hearts.

Now the only question is, how will you?

The Re-Invention Issue is about embracing who you truly are, blending it with who you want to be and LIVING in it as many days of the week as possible.

XoXo, Nahdya

Too Much? Not Enough!

Maximalism, the only style that abides by “put one thing on” instead of “take one thing off”.

Layering textures, patterns, and colors is the key to maximalism style. Blend statement pieces with staple show me pieces.

Parisian Style

Effortless drama is what defines Parisian style to me Large dramatic silhouettes using wild textures, patterns, and colors are the bold ways to rock Parisian style To capture the essence of the style, once you ’ re done, make sure the look, from head to toe, is polished. Not one hair is out of place, and every inch of you is elegantly decorated.

TORCHI

While we have no idea what Torchi says in her videos because she speaks Spanish, and we speak English, the fashion speaks for itself She brilliantly blends Japanese Harijuku street style into her punk aesthetic

What we love most about her style she includes color Traditionally, the punk style aesthetic would mostly showcase dark muted colors Not only does she invite color, she loves mixing designer with thrifted pieces, and internet brands which is SO Chatworthy!

Sarahn Diaye

REMONIA

Is it rude to be completely jealous of the innate know-all Parisian girls inherit because it’s the capital of haute couture fashion?

Anyway, plain and simple, Sarahn=chic

You want the Parisian look? Keep it simple, classic, And add one bold element to the look. Pop of color, lace detailing, you get the gist

Sarahn is a fashionfluencer that’s a must follow if you want to live out your best Parisian fashion dreams.

When you know, you know Remonia is one of those fashion girlies that makes quiet luxury look effortless Not to mention, she has a fashion wardrobe so good, we’d give up our vintage Valentino’s circa 1990 worn by Queen Naomi herself!

Apart from the fact that she doesn’t gate keep her luxe garment choices, she also gives us a sneak peak into her quiet luxury lifestyle

Let’s just say the New York flight is booked!

Fairy Whimsical

EVE LILY

Do you remember that one time when you tried nailing a maximalist look but you ended up looking like a toddler who was dressed by dad?

Yeah, Eve is the exact OPPOSITE of that It amazes us to see her pull off some of the most incredible outfits.

She has the audacity to express her fashion sense with the world and is changing the way we understand, and view maximalist style

CHAZLYN YAVONNE @chazlyn.yvonne

She’s the goddess of the gardens, and a vision of whimsical light. Chazlyn is the essence of cottage core, and fairy core When you ’ re in her realm of social media, you’ll feel as though you entered into a new world She blends the renaissance era brilliantly with a bit of pixie dust and royalty

TBH, she’s “the fairy you dreamed of when you were a little girl

Not to mention, the girl’s got SWAG! What we love most is how she combines street style and dopamine dressing

Hands down, Millie, is THAT Bi@!ch Her style aesthetic is giving Baddie all the way! If someone asked to combine rappers that would describe her style, it would be Coi Leray, Megan Thee Stallion, and Flo Milli She uses textures often and is ALWAYS giving us body

One thing about Millie thats for sure, is she’s going to give us a complete head to toe look!

ERIKA LUISA @ erikaluisaa

Erika is one of those girls who just knows how to put a look together What we love the most is her 00's/ 90s aesthetic Never have we seen a school girl micro mini skirt AND low rise jeans rocked like she does

Erika is a favorite amongst Chatworthy Style creators

PUNK Beauty

GET THE LOOK

Fierce, glam, and takes no shit. Punk is often seen as unrefined, grungy, and thrown together. Of course, there is an effortless beauty to the classic punk look but what if you added a bit of gloss, intentionally placed liner, and a sleek edge to take punk from grungy, to fabulous?

What’s so incredible about punk beauty is it’s adopted by so many different cultures which is what makes it so beautiful. Playing with the placement and shape of staple elements in your beauty routine like eyelashes to completely change the dynamic of a punk look and make it Chatworthy.

This is where the modernized perception of punk gets exciting. Gen Z knows exactly what they’re doing when it comes to elevating the punk look. Not only do we see the traditional smudge liner, but we see shimmer on both the eyes and the lips. A dark metallic lip liner just set it over the edge, and truly takes us into a new generation of expressing punk make up.

LAYERS BLUNT CUT COLOR STYLING

Punk doesn’t exist without layered hair

While most people think it’s a “I don’t give a fuck” type of hairstyle. It actually takes so much work

To look perfectly undone, and look gorgeous.

Blunt cuts is where punk hair gets exciting. There’s no rules there’s no right or wrong way. It’s essentially sculpting art using hair. Where you really can start to have fun is by adding color in abstract placements

They say blondes have more fun. I guarantee you the girls who are coloring their hair have them beat. if you are new to color, don’t be afraid just go for it and try things out.

4 words, express yourself without fear.

Using unconventional items as hair accessories is where you can truly make magic and push boundaries and if you ’ re a real slayer, using styling gel to sculpt hair is going to be a game changer.

Cottage CoreHair

Texture, texture, texture. There’s something so beautiful about the two toned honey blonde and brown braids curled up in a rose design. Add a sweetness to your look with rose flower bobbie pins.

Placing a silk scarf with dainty detailing can make a cottage core look. Make sure the bangs in front are showing to give it that effortless effect. Bobbie pins are going to be your best friend to secure the scarf onto your head all day.

You can’t say vintage without thinking of a classic set of pearls. The cottage core way is to adorn them in your hair as a sweet accessory to an updo.

Curls,andCoils

Afro’s have an ability unlike any other texture of hair. Accessorizing it with accent florals, to contrast the color and accentuate the texture can really make a cottage core look unique only to those who are blessed with the genes to wear an afro.

Using ribbon is such a beautiful, and dainty addition

I’ve never re-invented myself quite like I have as of late. LA > Chicago, Single > soon to be engaged, and one more thing I’m keeping a secret for now. When I think back to all the years of my life, where i’ve gone through phases of significant personal change, I wished I had a magazine like this one

A guide book that can help me really figure out what would work for me And fit my personality. It’s always interesting to me how you truly don’t stay the same.

From the way you think, to the guys you date, and the rules you set and break over and over again. It makes you realize how much you really do change

Going into my next phase of adulthood, I definitely DON’T have everything figured out but I have a sense of calmness that I’ve never had before. It’s like I’ve grasped that bullshit is going to happen, there will be things that go wrong, people will have negative shit to say about you. But, none of that has power over how I think about myself, accomplishing my dreams, or can permanently stop me from being me.

I’ve also grasped that my energy is precious, how I feel is temporary and almost all experiences that made me feel inferior or incapable or made me second guess myself, are not worth holding on to Moving forward and forgiveness is the only path that’s going to bring me something back in return

What i’ve learned about myself since starting this magazine is that my passion truly revolves around giving other people opportunities to share what makes them passionate. And in one lifetime, how many opportunities do we really get where someone places you and your work on a pedestal for others to stop and stare?

The only way for me to be in this world is without regrets, self-doubt and embracing who I am As you go throughout your life re-inventing yourself over and over and over again, remember that you ’ re adding to your story and everyday is a new opportunity to do so. Don’t be scared, LIVE! Live to the fullest no matter what and consistently give yourself grace, love, and damn good outfit!
