Style Influencers “The New Gold Age”
Feb 15, 2023 10:00AM ● By Aisha Al-Muid AKA MissMahoganyPhilly
As we move forward through 2023 I have become more intentional about everything that I do say and wear. My daily routine includes affirmations of gratitude and prayers for prosperity in all areas of my life. This year I embraced the theme of “Gold” for me and its presence has become symbolic and representative of my style vision, which has always been viewed as a source of wealth. Many people enjoy the look and feel of pure gold. Wearing it as a fashion statement is enough to give many gold owners a confidence boost. Some people smile just by the sight of their own gold—whether in jewelry, or style form. In fact, the effects of having gold in your life is so strong that gold has been used as a de-stressor since ancient times. It has been viewed as a means to boost emotional wellbeing.”The New Gold Age”, was the theme for my epic celebration complete with stylish metallic mates in the room. The evening style influencers were inspired by modern black and gold embellishments, bling, embroidery, and general over-the-top-ness were all shining.
