There is a book by Keith Ferrazzi called Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time. The premise is simple: relationships and meetings matter, so take time to grab coffee, lunch, or dinner to trade ideas and see how each party can help the other grow. I first bought the book when I was way younger, working in a more corporate environment. Though I tried to always plan lunch with someone, most of my lunches…
Airport Style Diary: A Robert Rodriguez Striped Blazer, Topshop Black Leather Shorts, and Stefano Maroni Striped Zebra Flats
So I’m in Atlanta, living it up for Memorial Day! I’ve tried wearing heels, thigh high boots, and all sorts of nonsense to the airport, and let me tell you. Not worth it! If your gate is far away, you’re screwed. Lace ups and thigh highs are hard to take off and put back on after going through security. AND your feet generally swell a little while in the air, so you’re just signing up for pain. I love sneakers…
Milano Nights: Dolce & Gabbana’s Martini Bar in a Robert Rodriguez Feathered Skirt and Aminah Abdul Jillil Crystal Pumps
In what was supposed to be my last night in Milan, my friends and I went to Dolce & Gabbana’s Martini bar for an indulgent dinner. I went for flirty in a Robert Rodriguez feathered skirt, a white button down, and a black blazer, uplifted by Aminah Abdul Jillil Crystal Embellished Pumps. Can we take a moment for these pumps, please? I’ve been a fan of Aminah Abdul Jillil since I discovered her bow pumps. Her crystal stompers are fabulously…
Bravo’s Fashion Queens Style Diary: A Robert Rodriguez Striped Blazer, Meow & Barks Boutique Black and White Striped Top, and Zara Pleather Pencil Skirt
I’m (still) sitting on the plane, feeling inspired by the limitless possibilities in life. There’s so much I want to accomplish in the next 12 months, and I’m endlessly motivated to go for the gold! Sorry for the tangent, but speaking of which…: I continued to shoot Fashion Bomb TV this past Thursday with Bevy Smith, Miss Lawrence, and Derek J of Bravo’s Fashion Queens. New York weather has been playing games lately, feeling more like Spring when it’s firmly…
New York Style Diary: An MSGM Yellow and White Cotton-blend Jacquard Biker Jacket and a Robert Rodriguez Hi Lo Skirt
So this past weekend, I attended a fun brunch, so decided to keep my look summery with an MSGM Cotton-blend Jacquard Biker Jacket jacket, Zara tank, and Robert Rodriguez skirt (last worn here). I absolutely love MOVEMENT in clothes, so had so much fun shooting this skirt. It’s one of my faves. My Saint Laurent pumps, and I was done! I definitely need to replace my white pumps! But for now, they do the job. At any rate, what do…
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…
LA Style Diary: A Robert Rodriguez Black and White Striped Blazer, 5th and Mercer Two Tone Pants, and Forever 21 Tupac Tee
Hey! So I’m in LA for the day! And decided to shoot my ensemble with the ever so talented Mark Martin. I paid homage to the West Coast with a Tupac tee from Forever 21, and stuck to a black and white color palette with a Robert Rodriguez striped blazer and two toned pants from Lala’s 5th and Mercer line. It was all about the bling this go round! I’ve fallen in love with these crystal chandelier earrings from Topshop.…
