While tanning and reflecting in Mexico, I felt a re-introduction was overdue… so here we go.

I’m Erika—a proud Afro-Latina from New York City with a deep love for style, storytelling, and transformation.
As a wardrobe stylist, costume designer, and creative consultant, I bring over 15 years of experience helping people show up fully—whether that’s on camera, in a boardroom, or in everyday life!

My work blends fashion, function, and feeling. From dressing Fortune 500 hopefuls on a fishstick budget to designing utility accessories like The Artist Kit for fellow creatives with caviar taste, I’m all about creating solutions that work hard and look good 🤌🏽

This season, I’ve been pivoting—leaning more into workshops, creative direction, and empowering others through style education. I’m also building systems to make my services more accessible and automated (hello, tech era 👾)

Personally, I’m still healing after losing my mom and my dog last year ❤️‍🩹. Journaling and #hotgirlwalks have been my therapy. One day, those pages might just become a book.

Here’s MY truth: I’ve struggled with showing up online. But I’m done hiding. There’s so much I want to share—and I know there’s a community out there that needs it.

So if you’re into creativity, growth, fashion with purpose, and real conversations—stick around. I’m building something bigger than style. And I’d love to have you along for the journey

❤️

I know we live in a “too cool for school” era… but be for real, How many times do you meet @oprah in your life?! 🥹

She hugged me like she knew me for years.
And in that moment I realized I couldn’t call my mom or dad to tell them… which hit me for a second
But I know they would’ve been GEEKED!!

Also Oprah said the key to success is being yourself… SO here I am not pretending to be cool about meeting Oprah 😂

Thennnnn I got home and remembered she’s literally on the Forbes billionaire list…
so yeah, still processing and walking in Divine favor ❣️

💥 PARIS with one of my incredible clients and friends @linadarrisaw A Schiaparelli collector whose collection has been thoughtfully curated in partnership with @jerijxnoir 💞

For the show at the Louvre, I finished the look by adding a brown blouse from Saint Laurent. The color combo + the gold hair accessories+ the encrusted eye ugh! I’m really happy with how this look came together 👌🏾

Following it all with a private re-see of the collection at the Schiaparelli Salon… just WOW.

Moments like this remind me why I love what I do ✨

Four weeks without you, Dad, and a month of ‘How are you?’ and ‘I’m here.’
I didn’t expect it, but my tribe has poured into me just as you would have wanted, I am deeply grateful for them.
These days, I reach for more than comfort, more than understanding, more than quiet moments of grief. I reach for grace, for strength, for your wisdom to guide me still.
Even surrounded by so much love, I still feel the ache of missing you and Mom.
I hope you’re both free, dancing in light, laughing without end, having heavenly fun. ✨
Until we meet again. 🤍

These days, I reach for more than comfort, more than understanding, more than quiet moments of grief. I reach for grace, for strength, for your wisdom to guide me still.
Even surrounded by so much love, I still feel the ache of missing you and Mom.
I hope you’re both free, dancing in light, laughing without end, having heavenly fun. ✨
Until we meet again. 🤍

Thank you@imrich_too for the captures 📸 I’ll never forget the time spent and how careful you were through out the entire day❤️

Four weeks without you, Dad, and a month of ‘How are you?’ and ‘I’m here.’
I didn’t expect it, but my tribe has poured into me just as you would have wanted, I am deeply grateful for them.

Last Monday, I lost my dad 💔
I wish the world would pause for grief
but it doesn’t.
It keeps moving.
And somehow, I’m expected to move with it,
even while my heart aches.

My dad had a big, generous heart.
One that loved deeply.
He wasn’t perfect — but he was a great father,
and a father figure to so many.
Losing him to glioblastoma,
after already losing my mom to the same illness,
feels cruel.
Unfathomable.
Unfair.
My home base has been wiped away
My DAD— my first love,
my confidant, my constant, my walking partner
my perfect date.
Taken far too soon.
I prayed for more time.
And still, time ran out 🥺

There isn’t enough space to share my memories here. I’m grateful to have had my dad and his guidance by my side my entire life, until now.
I’ll miss all your quotable sayings, your smile,
most of all,your energy, support and encouragement
no matter what I dreamed of doing.
This hurts
I can’t even believe this is real life
Rest easy Poppi
I love you 🤍 🪽

My home base has been wiped away
My DAD— my first love,
my confidant, my constant, my walking partner
my perfect date.
Taken far too soon.
I prayed for more time.
And still, time ran out 🥺

There isn’t enough space to share my memories here. I’m grateful to have had my dad and his guidance by my side my entire life, until now.
I’ll miss all your quotable sayings, your smile,
most of all,your energy, support and encouragement
no matter what I dreamed of doing.
This hurts
I can’t even believe this is real life
Rest easy Poppi
I love you 🤍 🪽

Last Monday, I lost my dad 💔
I wish the world would pause for grief
but it doesn’t.
It keeps moving.
And somehow, I’m expected to move with it,
even while my heart aches.

My dad had a big, generous heart.
One that loved deeply.
He wasn’t perfect — but he was a great father,
and a father figure to so many.
Losing him to glioblastoma,
after already losing my mom to the same illness,
feels cruel.
Unfathomable.
Unfair.
