Happy May! Summer is right around the corner, which makes me think of beach get aways and tropical locales. My May is relatively calm, with only a short trip to Trinidad & Tobago for their fashion week, but June is poppin with a month in Europe, starting with a sailing excursion in Corsica, a pop by Florence, and Men’s Fashion Week in Milan and Paris! When I travel, I like to go with ‘color stories’ so that I can mix…
When Did I Wear Dries Van Noten Better? With NYDJ Jeans or a Zara Pleated Skirt
I always do Who Wore It Better? and When Did She Wear it Better? posts on Fashion Bomb Daily. Today, I’m going to do it for myself (just for fun, why not right?)! I love to shop my closet, so pulled out my Dries Van Noten blazer to speak at the Black Retail Action Group’s meeting at FIT. I was at a school, so went for a Clueless vibe in a pleated Zara skirt and sheer Robert Rodriguez top. For…
106 & Park Style Diary: An Alexander Wang Spring 2014 Parental Advisory Sweatshirt, Milly Leather Skirt, and Gianvito Rossi Leather and Perspex Pumps

Khloe Kardashian has inspired me to purchase quite a…
My April 2014 Lust List: A Givenchy Tribal Clutch, Tom Ford White Padlock Pumps, and By Kilian Perfume
Yes, it’s almost the end of the April. But I still have items on my lust list! This month is all about pumps and perfume! I fell in love with Kilian scents when I attended Net-a-Beauty’s event (they sent over some sample sizes and I haven’t been able to stop spritzing!). My shoe closet also needs an update with a few great investment pumps. I’m on the waiting list for Christian Louboutin’s Impera Pumps, and might just splurge on a…
Easter Style Diary: A Blue Aqua Suit, Equipment Shirt, Carbon Showroom Clutch, and Jimmy Choo Lace Up Sandals Photographed by Derek Blanks
I think there’s a time in everyone’s career when things just start clicking. It’s like you keep knock, knock, knocking on the door…and then it finally starts to creak on open. I was asked by CNN’s Headline news to be featured on a segment called Road Warriors. And as part of the whole shebang, they asked to follow me around for a day. They’re based in Atlanta, and luckily I’m from Atlanta…and I was speaking on a panel down in…
