black-culture: elhieroglyph: Ancient Egyptian GOLD RING OF SHESHONQ 26th Dynasty, 6th Century BC This heavy gold ring of the priestly official, Sheshonq, is a stirrup shaped signet. This type of ring was developed from the rigid-bezel ring of the Middle Kingdom. The lozenge shaped bezel is incised with the name and titles of the owner, which included the office of Chief Steward. The bezel could be pressed into hot wax to seal documents and letters. Besides this functional aspect, the ring was no doubt worn as a mark of Sheshonq’s status and wealth. The name ‘Sheshonq’ is of Libyan origin, belonging to several kings of the Libyan Period, but became popular among Egyptians from that time onwards.

FREE FALLING IN FREE PEOPLE

Wearing: Dropwaist shift dress c/o Free People/Sunglasses c/o VIGOSS/Knit scarf c/o SHUI CHEN NEW YORK/Striped under shirt from H&M/COACH bag

When Free People approached me to sport one of their amazing dresses I was more than willing to accept this fashion challenge… But ironically it wasn’t a challenge at all. This season I’ve developed a big affinity to dropwaist dresses, so naturally gravitating towards the Dropwaist Shift Dress was an appropriate choice in regards to silhouette, texture and overall look. I love the bow detailing in the front that adds a feminine flair while still keeping the signature bohemian Free People aesthetic. You can count on seeing this little number, worn on numerous occasions and of course in future posts!
