Style. Sisterlocks. Skin. By Design. I'm Maria, a 5'10" landscape designer and construction project manager in Miami who spent the last 8 years figuring out how to dress with intention for a real professional life in real heat, in real rooms where I am often the only one who looks like me. On this channel: honest fashion reviews for women, the truth about sisterlocks from someone living it, and a minimal skincare routine built around allergies and dermatologist approval only. No trends. No hauls for the sake of hauls. Everything here is By Design. ↓ Shop what I wear: [www.shopltk.com/explore/themariafade] ↓ Find me: TikTok + Instagram @themariafade 💌 collaboration & partnership: [email protected]
