Over the weekend, I was thrilled to stop by Tai Beauchamp’s Holiday Shopping Experience at Gravitas in Beverly Hills, an afternoon rooted in intentional shopping, community, and the joy of discovering thoughtfully curated Black- and women-owned brands across fashion, beauty, and lifestyle.
The pop-up brought together an inspiring mix of founders and creatives, each offering something distinct:
Born to Roam delivered effortlessly chic fashion pieces designed for women who value comfort, versatility, and elevated everyday style.
Plaay Clothes showcased playful yet polished apparel that blends bold design with wearability and a strong point of view.
Leier Fragrances introduced sophisticated, layered scents crafted to feel personal, memorable, and luxurious without being overpowering.
Cocoa Centric offered rich, indulgent lifestyle goods that celebrate warmth, self-care, and elevated gifting.
Our X Hair highlighted premium hair essentials created with intention, quality, and care for textured hair in mind.
Klen For Men presented clean, minimalist menswear skincare rooted in structure, refinement, and modern masculinity.
Azayla Brand featured stylish, thoughtfully designed fashion items that reflect confidence, creativity, and individuality.
Mack & Myyles Jewelry displayed beautifully crafted jewelry pieces that felt personal, meaningful, and perfect for everyday wear or gifting.
Get E Marie brought forward feminine, wearable designs that felt timeless yet fresh, with a strong emphasis on craftsmanship.
Rachel Katz Jewelry showcased elegant, artful jewelry that blended classic silhouettes with contemporary detail.
Ashley Nora Art rounded out the experience with expressive artwork that felt both soulful and visually striking, adding an artistic layer to the shopping experience.
Beyond the shopping, one of the best parts of the afternoon was reconnecting with friends and creatives, including Bruce Glen, Beauty Between the Lines, Ashley Dunn, and of course Tai Beauchamp herself, whose vision and leadership made the event feel warm, purposeful, and inspiring.
’Tis truly the season to shop with intention, support small businesses, and discover new brands doing meaningful work. Swipe for more moments from the event, and let me know—did you spot anything you loved?
I barely got out of bed that day..! I kept it simple in a Norma Kamali catsuit, Kwame Adusei jacket, and Cristian Rozetre boots.
I have a 4 hour layover on my way to my last holiday party of the year.
Stay tuned for more!
Love & Light,
