Amour Genesis Partners with Aida Cosmetics to Give Back to Bright Pink in Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
A Day in the Life of AmourGenesis
A Day in the Life of AmourGenesis
A collection of my commercial, swimsuit and high fashion looks for the perfect summer in Chicago.
The Bohemian Goddess
The “Bohemian Goddess” is my first commercial modeling look. I wanted to try it because after looking through my past photo shoots I noticed that I didn’t have anything that was natural and life-like and I definitely wanted to show this side of my work.
A Natural Beauty
You can see in the photos that my dress is very flowing and natural and can be worn by the average woman. The earth tone colors in my dress: red, yellow, green, crème and peach naturally compliment the sunlight and gave this look a very bohemian yet free feeling.
Walking on Sunshine: My Bare Soles
As you can see I’m not wearing any shoes. And that was on purpose. Since this look is so natural and reflects an earthy bohemian concept, my stylists thought it would be great to photograph in my bare feet and become one with the environment.
I’m really glad I tried this look because it’s completely different from anything that I’ve ever done and it proves that sometimes shoes aren’t always a girl’s best friend.
In my case, this is the perfect commercial look because it’s very eye-catching and didn’t take away from my natural beauty. Although, it wasn’t easy running in the wind with wild hair and bare feet this is by far one of my favorite looks and I hope this inspires others to try it too!
Women can be Warriors too!
The first time I saw these photos the first thing I thought is that “Women can be warriors to!”
Hail to the Queen!
The exotic beading and color schemes of my bikini top with matching bottoms scream out “The Amazon Queen.”
A Warrior’s Weapons
The elaborate details in my bracelet and earrings provoke ideas of Royalty and Domination because of the unusual style, gold colors and odd shapes.
The Islander
The waterfall, stones, rocks, and trees embody a sense of island paradise and seclusion as the “Amazon Queen” stands high on her territory and poses seductively for the camera.
This swimsuit looks proves that women do really run the world.
Beauty and the Backyard
This look is perfect for a backyard bar-b-que or party with friends. Simply throwing on a pair of cute shorts with a stylish bikini top and dramatic accessories really brings a swimsuit to life and lets you wear it all day!
The Jewelry Fetish
One of the best things I love about this relaxed beach look is that it screams “I love jewelry. Look at how the accessories work together to make the shorts and bikini top really stand out without taking away from the beading and elaboration.
My World in Couture
Without a doubt, this is my best work yet. The energy from this entire look shows my high-fashion alter ego and the diva inside of every woman, especially AmourGenesis.
Meet Me in High-Fashion: A Jumpsuit Affair
This jumpsuit gives me a very full elongated look that adds height to my frame and lengthens my legs. *The perfect trick to make your body look taller.
I Walk Tall: My Strappy Heels
The silver color and detailed straps in my shoes compliments my jump suit fabulously for a summer couture look. And did I forget to mention that it adds a lot of height to my figure.
The Faceoff: Fierce vs. Dramatic
The dramatic, fierce and editorial makeup makes my face instantly pop with bright hues of blue, purple, silver, gray and black.
My wild wavy hair adds drama and fire to my intense high-fashion look.
Even though it was chilly outside during my shoot I pulled through and it turned out to be a great photo shoot!
Before I go I want to give a special thanks to all that helped make my latest photo shoot a masterpiece.
Thank you especially to Mikeya Summerville of iT Factor Agency for her fabulous fashion insight, excellent PR skills and creative direction throughout the entire shoot and beyond.
Thank you to R.L. Fox of The Glamour Groupe for his amazing creative direction, fantastic styling and expertise in perfecting my poses and facial expressions.
Thanks to Karl Ray who is an incredible photographer who I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with. Thanks to Jessica McElroy for her fabulous makeup and creativity. And last but not least I want to give a special thanks to Katherine Gamby for her talented videography work and support throughout the entire day!!
Each of these talented individuals played a major part in the success of “A Day in the life of AmourGenesis” and I cannot thank them enough for their hard work, guidance and creative talents.
Stay tuned for the AmourGenesis "Behind the scenes" video and more blog posts this week!!
Until Next Time,
Be Beautiful, Be Breathtaking, Be Born With It!

The Glamorous Life of L.A.!
J'adore L.A.!
Hey Lovebugs! First let me say that my experience in Los Angeles was like none other before. I’m so fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience the culture, lifestyle, entertainment and new-world era that L.A. has to offer. Although, I only spent three short days there I already feel like Cali is my home and I’m counting down the days of when I can finally make it official. I proudly welcome L.A. into my world and invite the endless glamour awaiting me!
Fashion
Betsey Johnson
On Saturday, August 18th, The Grove’s, Nordstrom greeted a very special someone dressed in a beautiful, gold layered dress, punk rock pig tails and very haute couture signature stilettos- Guess who? Yes it was the Fabulous Miss Betsey Johnson of course! Betsey Johnson made a personal appearance at Nordstrom’s to celebrate The Grove’s Ten Year Anniversary Shoes!
I don’t even have to tell you how crazy the crowd and press went when she came out! Betsey definitely knows how to steal the spotlight and light up a room that’s for sure. And to top things off, she even took photos with fans who made a $50 or more purchase. Pretty hot right? Check out the video clip to see this crazy footage!
Betsey Johnson Shoes!
Love these!
Amour Genesis and Karen Marley!
Quick Fact: Karen Marley is Bob Marley’s Daughter and the Owner of Buttons and Bows in L.A.
Sue Wong
J’adore. J’adore. J’adore. That’s really all I can say about Sue Wong’s collection. I mean her line is so uber chic and one-of-a-kind that many words aren’t needed to explain the talented craftsmanship and creativity in her beautifully produced designs. Just see for yourself ;)
Some of Sue Wong’s Killer Dresses featured at Bloomingdale’s!
Oooh Sassy!
FASHION.STYLE.SELF-EXPRESSION
Within minutes of touching down from my flight, I learned that L.A. is definitely one of those places that embraces funky, eclectic fashions; bold, jaw-dropping designs and super-trendy looks that represent Cali’s uniqueness and appreciation for fashion, art and style. I was amazed at how fearless people were in terms of their selection of dress, while at the same time in admiration of their confidence and “Girl I know I’m fly attitude!” LOL this was just the icing on the cake for a girl from Chicago. As a lover of fashion and bold art, I’m always fascinated by people who aren’t afraid to represent their uniqueness and still really know how to work it!
Pets dressed in sunglasses and shoes
LOL this title alone says it all. Yea, only in L.A. will you see pets dressed better than their owners! I mean really? I saw everything from shitzhu’s in red bottoms to Yorkies named, “Fancy” shopping at Arden B. It was crazy, but I loved it! And just when I thought I saw it all, there it was….a little pooch trotting down The Grove in a pair of FLY sunglasses! Gotta love it right? LOL
Me and Fancy Shopping at Arden B.!
Work it honey!
Uh Oh! Check out the cutie with the fabulous red bottoms! LOL
That’s right, dogs are still one of the hottest accessories out! Just ask L.A.
Lifestyle/Culture
Beautiful Inter-racial Couples
The dating game in L.A. is definitely quite heavy. There were so many couples, both young and older, embracing, holding hands, looking incredibly happy and in-love. But one thing that really caught my attention was the number of beautiful inter-racial couples that I saw. It was so incredible to see pairs of men and women of different ethnicities walking together and appearing so happy, while consciously living in a world without color and race. L.A. is filled with a mix of inter-racial couples that proudly love one another and accept each other for strengths and characteristics much deeper than skin tone and race. I don’t know about you guys, but this is the kind of world that I want to live in.
Hollywood
Just three words:
Yeeaaahhhh Baby Yeeaahhh! Now Hollywood was definitely one of the highlights of my trip! From getting stopped in the street by an NBA player to taking pics with a Sylvester Stallone look-alike, I just enjoyed it all. To start this story off, my publicist and I were playing the tourist game (you know taking lots of pictures, sight-seeing, and getting caught up in the crazy crowds of people thrilled by the fascination of Hollywood life.
I took lots and lots of pictures by a few of the iconic Hollywood Street Stars. These were some of my favorites!
Michael Jackson
Queen Latifah
Julie London
(Quick Fact: I used her “Why don’t you do right” song in my fashion film J )
Mr. Playboy Himself (That’s right it’s Hugh Hefner)
John Singleton
The Amazing Elton John!
Shirley Temple Signature and Hand Prints! (One of my favorite childhood stars!)
The Lovely Julie Andrews Signature and Handprints! (Love her)
Me and Sylvester Stallone (Don’t worry he’s just a look-a-like lol)
Meet Team Bad Ass!
Me and I Love Lucy!
Me and Marilyn!
Me, Michael Beasley (NBA Player) and one of his friends! (For those of you that don’t know, Beasley’s on the right)
The Grove
The Grove is definitely one of the hottest places to be in L.A. It’s so beautiful, relaxing, and friendly for everyday tourists and well-known celebs!
Me at The Grove!
Spotted these at The Grove! (Anyone that knows me knows that I love Big, Fabulous Hats!)
This adorable little guy I met at The Grove!
The Beverly Center
The Beverly Center was by far one of the best shopping centers in L.A. This premiere fashion destination has over 160 specialty boutiques reflecting the diverse styles and tastes of L.A. While there I visited their fabulous Bloomingdale’s, where they featured this beautiful, pink-inspired Benefit Cosmetics Pop-up Shop to tempt and tease beauty lovers like myself J
Not only did I have some fun with a little makeup, but I met these two Uber Handsome Gents at The Beverly Center too!
Me and These Two Handsome Gents at The Beverly Center!
Third Street Promenade
Guys I absolutely loved the Third Street Promenade! It was really fun and a great place to be if you want to relax, shop, watch the exciting entertainment, and just indulge in the endless beach life of Santa Monica, California.
During my visit there I watched these really talented dancers perform a series of awesome dance numbers and amaze the crowd with their humor and out-of-the box dance routines. Their live performance was definitely hot and perfect for a date at the Third Street Promenade. Check it out loves!
A.G. to the Triple OG and One of Cali's Hottest Dance Teams! LOL
For those of you who’ve heard of a trendy little store called Kitson, you’ll know why it was so important for me to visit. That’s right, I over-indulged in “retail therapy” by stopping this famous eclectic store and taking photos with just about everything that I thought was cool. Check out a few photos below!
Having a ball at the Kitson Store!
Love these signature Kitson bags!
Chi-town Pillow! (Everyone needs one of these ;)
Beverly Hills
The Fab Life on Rodeo Drive
I still can’t believe that I was in the same place where Julia Robert’s, “Pretty Woman” was shot. This made my day and made me feel like a little “Pretty Woman” myself for just being there ;)
The Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel
Amour Genesis at this beautiful fountain in Beverly Hills!
Entertainment
The girls were definitely all over these little guys! I mean when I say they were screaming, they were really sccreeeaaammminnnggg!!! Mikeya and I felt so old in the crowd because we couldn’t take the noise and even had to wear earplugs lol. But what can I say, this was definitely expected since Mindless Behavior put on such a great performance and really owned L.A. that night! If I was still in my teen years, I would have been jumping, screaming and extra fanatic too! And besides they’re so cute. Who couldn't help but love these adorable guys? Check out a clip from their recent concert in L.A.
Anna Madorsky
She’s beautiful. Anna Madorsky is amazing guys. Her voice and spirit syncs so beautifully together and harmonizes in a way that forces you to love her. Although it was my first time ever hearing her voice, I loved every minute of her live performance during her listening party. And did I mention that she’s quite the character too? Anna has one of the best personality’s ever and she is so funny! Just being around and listening to what she has to say is equally delightful and entertaining.
Amour Genesis and one of L.A.'s Hottest Singing Sensations, Anna Madorsky!
Well Beauties it was great sharing my amazing experience from L.A. I hope you guys enjoyed all of the exciting things that I had to share and all of the pictures highlighting my experience. I wish I could have packed you all up in my polka dot suitcase or should I say suitcases (because I do travel heavy lol) and taken you with me! Until next time, stay fabulously glamorous and look out for more signature blogs from your favorite It Girl!
