Hey! So this past Sunday, I spoke on yet another panel;) This one was to discuss brand building, and I was blessed to share the stage with makeup maestros Ashunta Sheriff, Brandy Gomez-Duplessis, and Merrell Hollis. As I said here, public speaking is not my forté, but I’m becoming more at ease sharing my story! I also love doing panels because I get to hear about the journey’s of my fellow industry colleagues. One resounding theme I hear from most…
Shopping Event Style Diary: An Acne Mohair Blend Striped Sweater, Rag & Bone Jeans, and Stuart Weitzman Nudist Sandals
Yesterday, I popped by one of my favorite stores, Intermix, for a shopping event hosted by Power 105.1’s Angela Yee. It was a pretty low key event, so I went casual in a Mohair Blend Sweater by Acne, white skinny jeans by Rag & Bone, and Stuart Weitzman Nudist sandals. Let me tell you something: shopping and drinking shouldn’t mix. Well, at least for me! You start to feel the spirits, the music’s pumping, and before you know it, you…
Love In the City Style Diary: A Markus Lupfer Mirror Embellished Oh Boy Sweatshirt, Robert Rodriguez Feathered Skirt, and Stuart Weitzman Nudist Sandals
Oh Boy! Last night was a first for me: I hosted an intimate screening for OWN’s new docu-series called Love In The City. My duties were to give a welcome speech and then moderate a Q&A afterwards. I am not a public speaker. On my junior high report cards, my teachers would always call me a “quiet leader,” a euphemism for someone who says absolutely nothing in class, asks zero questions, provides zero answers, but somehow manages to Ace the…
Panel Style Diary: A Red Valentino Floral Printed Drop Waist Dress, Kate Spade Paris and the Single Girl Book Clutch, and Zara Double Breasted Faux Leather Jacket
April is my month for panels and events, and I kicked the circuit off yesterday with a talk sponsored by In Her Shoes Blog and Essence. I joined Renae Bluitt of In Her Shoes, Demetria Lucas of Bravo’s Blood, Sweat, and Heels and A Belle in Brooklyn, Latham Thomas of Mama Glow, and Anthony Dickey of Hairrules as we talked about our work mantras and how we ultimately pursued our dreams! I’m a girly girl. So shoot me! So I…
New York Style Diary: A Deer Dana Kanye T-Shirt, Rag & Bone Tuxedo Blazer, and By Johnny Black and White Slit Skirt
So, in my efforts to jazz up my video content, I interviewed Tameka “Tiny” Harris for Fashion Bomb TV. I love classic pieces (and black and white is always chic), so I mixed and matched a few items I already had in my wardrobe, including a Rag & Bone tuxedo blazer (last seen here), and my By Johnny skirt (last seen here). I added a fun element with a Kanye tee by Deer Dana. Though it’s tempting to always shop…
LA Style Diary: A Kenzo Tiger Embroidered Sweatshirt Dress, Melody Ehsani x Reebok Sneakers, and Stuart Weitzman Nudist Sandals
So I spent the weekend in LA! I’m really trying to ramp up my video and exclusive content (as I mentioned in this video with In Her Shoes Blog), so took a quick trip to the left coast to soak up the sun and interview a few fabulous bombshells. Every single day was chock full of events, except for Saturday, when I popped by a juice bar, shopped it up a bit, and ate a bunch of delicious vegan food!…
