I posted the following phrase on Instagram after a morning of crying my eyes out to Bae. Yes, things can seem cheery on social media, but being an entrepreneur is HARD. From finding the right team to finances to work/life balance, both the payoff and sacrifice are grand. When you determine your own path, you can both win big or lose big. An article in Inc.com reports that 96% of small business fail in 10 years. Scary! And we just…
Happy Almost Weekend! So it’s holiday party time! I always aim to go for a festive look, so slipped on a House of Holland velvet dress and Christian Louboutin pumps. I added a little extra sparkle with earrings from Laura Govan’s store, Shop in Real Life. A fur kept me warm! I love this dress because it sparkles and basically has all of my favorite things sewn on it in sequins (lobster, champagne, lipstick, chandeliers…!) I’ve worn this before, but…
I’ll be honest: I haven’t fully recovered from Cocktails with Claire, but holiday parties beckon! I actually wore this look last week, but here are the pictures! I’ve actually worn this before, to give a speech, but I didn’t take any official pix! So I repurposed, switched out to more comfortable shoes, and popped on a fur! I love mixing silver and gold.

When I first started The Fashion Bomb, I never ever ever ever ever ever thought that my site would nurture a community of…

Twas the night before Cocktails with Claire and instead of saying ‘Goodnight,’ I’m picking my pimples and attempting to write. Behold, some poetry. What do you think? I won’t quit my day job. At any rate, our musical performance, Gift3d, just landed, and I’m passing the time as I attempt to coordinate his Uber pickup. So, behold my latest look! Y’all know me: I love a good sweater dress. So when French Connection offered to send me something from their…
