I wore this Preen Line Ivy Paneled Stretch Cotton Drill Dress with Miu Miu Gingham slingbacks to a dinner with Janelle Monae, sponsored by Essence Magazine: Janelle’s style is all about conservative modesty, so I decided on a look inspired by her (down to my hair). Photos by Marta McAdams…
The Bomb Life Rewind: A Helmut Lang Fur Jacket, Givenchy Tank, Rag & Bone Jeans, and a Givenchy Tote
On any given day in the winter, you’ll find me in all black, intensified by textures: think, fur, fringe, or even velvet (yes velvet!). I shot the following pix by Palais de Tokyo with my favorite French photographer, Guillaume Landry. I’ll admit, most times when I post pictures on my blog, I am all gussied up, headed to an event. I took these pix to display my casual style–something I’d wear any day of the week. Trust me, I’m still…
The Bomb Life Rewind: Rag & Bone’s Leather and Wool Biker Tail Coat, Acne Satya Dress, and DSquared2 Raso Booties
Though I’m the consummate girly girl, I do sometimes like to go for darker looks.

I scored this Dries van Noten dress on sale as well. It was actually a bit small, but I went to the tailor to get the lining taken out. I can’t stress enough the…
The Bomb Life Rewind: An Etro Printed Button Down Blouse, Diane von Furstenberg Skirt, DVF Clutch, and Valentino Nude Rockstud Pumps
Ready for another Bomb Life Rewind? This one is courtesy of an Etro blouse and a Diane von Furstenberg pleated skirt. Mixing prints is not for the conservative (ahem, me), though black and white can be a bit easier to tackle as long as the tones coordinate. Just make sure that at least a handful of your accents are neutral. For me, it was my favorite nude Valentino Rockstud pumps. In these past few years, I’ve learned to make due…
