00:23her hair she's got a new post baby body and it just felt right to start the new year off with
00:29Alicia but to do her in a new and fresh way for us it's all about color it's about celebration of
00:35Alicia's womanhood you know her coming into the light being a mom this new album a wife you know
00:42all of these things are expressed in the color and the silhouettes the shapes are really strong
00:45they're dominant but they also they're celebratory they're feel-good colors and I think it's kind of
00:52fun and it's festive and refreshing old statement jewelry but it's also very edgy and kind of twist
00:58and bright goals stones that kind of played off or juxtaposed to the clothing there's so many ways
