Aaliyah: Rare Photo

🔁 via Sharaè Nikai: “Oh, it’s da L-I-Y-A-H…” Hanging with childhood friend Desmond Herod & Aaliyah at Jayson Williams’ crib (Nets #55, pre weird home shooting) when I was far too young to be in the mix… 1/16/14 - Happy Birthday, Aaliyah."

This was posted on Aaliyah’s birthday via Facebook back in 2014! And from the looks of the outfit we can confirm this was where she took the photo with Static Major which can be found in Vibe magazine published December, 2008. You can find read the full interview via the link here, which was also posted back in 2014. For all Static Major, Playa and Aaliyah fans it's definitely a must read! Enjoy! 😊✌🏽❤

Aaliyah: Fashion Pieces

Written by somerepulsiveimp via Tumblr. (Thank you for the mention! It's nice to know that my hard work doesn't go in vain!) 

"Vibe Magazine, Aug 2001 - Special Illustration Issue, fashion spread illustrations by Alvaro and styling by Angela Arambulo.
 
Sequined butterfly top: Christian Dior RTW F/W 2001

Silk Pantsuit: Versace RTW F/W 2001

Even though these are not photos of #Aaliyah, these are beautiful illustrations pegged as a 'pending' fashion spread in the article, so I thought it would be cool to identify these runway items. Courtesy of The Aaliyah Archives, firstview.com and Style Bistro."

I pretty much stumbled upon this post by chance, since I was like hey! That's my blog! Lol! It is nice to know where the original fashion pieces come from, hence why I am sharing this post with you all. Enjoy! :o)
