So I recently returned from a quick trip to Palm Desert in California for their fashion week. I’ve been to fashion weeks all over the world; Palm Desert’s Fashion Week El Paseo was more consumer based (you could shop the runway), but I discovered lots of fab brands nonetheless. Stay tuned for my recap on Fashion Bomb Daily tomorrow.…
Yesterday, I was shocked and saddened to hear that my colleague, Daisy Lewellyn, had lost her battle with cancer. Daisy’s personality was simply electric. She was always smiling, chipper, and happy. She showed support for Fashion Bomb Daily and for me. In one of our last texts, she wrote, “Cheers to all you are doing. Your success is beautiful. I’m so happy for you. Xo, Daisy.” Daisy went for her goals with gusto, writing a book, twirling on Reality TV,…

I’ll be honest and say: I never had a mentor! Not because people suck and life is a bunch of sour grapes. My brother has been a great voice of reason all my life.

The headlining designer, Iris Barbee Bonner of These Pink Lips, was gracious enough to design one of her signature graffiti suits for me. Though Iris’s designs can be racy (take a look at the words on her jumpsuit!) I made it clear to her that I didn’t want any profanity; instead I wanted to decorate my ensemble with powerful words like Boss, Girl Power, Leader, Success,…
If you watch me on Snapchat, you’d know that my contract with Toyota was renewed!!! Yasss, that means that this is will be my 3rd year working with Toyota as a brand ambassador. I’ll be honest (they’re not paying me to say this!). I love working with Toyota. The cars are bomb and the people I work with want the work I do to be creative, and reflective of my life. I loved this video we did during NYFW. At…
