I'm literally sitting here yawning as I prepare to host a fashion show in New York. Y'all pray for me, mmmmk? At any rate, I wanted to drop in quickly to let you know that the richest man in the world is Bernard Arnault, the CEO of LVMH, the home to brands like Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, and Christian Dior. Instead of opine on the importance of us supporting emerging brands vs. continue to line the pockets of a billionaire who is richer than...
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is a hidden gem, perfect for admiring beautiful blooms, cozying up to flowering trees, and if you're an influencer, taking pix (hello!). It's almost as if the flowers, particularly resplendent in the Spring, are quietly beseeching you to strike a pose in front of their gorgeous petals. Taking professional photos inside the expansive garden is possible, but you'll need to know a few things before you go: You have to...
The Leather Spa is a New York City institution. Scores of well heeled fashionistas go there to resole their Christian Louboutin stilettos, rescue stained bags, and resuscitate their shoes. I was one of those Leather Spa Lovers until today. I was blessed by the good Lord with a pair of calves that cut a cute form in summer dresses! But when it comes to winter boots, they don't fit in--literally. I have been using The Leather Spa for years to put...
So I was in Atlanta last week to celebrate my mom's birthday, and while there, had to stop by the beautiful Buckhead atelier of Dedrick Thomas, the owner of Hideoki Bespoke, a lifestyle and luxury brand that specializes in custom suits and tuxes for men (and women) who mean business. Though some of you may not be familiar with the name Hideoki Bespoke, you've assuredly seen the brand's expert craftsmanship and bespoke pieces on...
Happy Saturday! A few days ago, I had the pleasure of co-hosting a shopping party at Alice & Olivia's Soho store, alongside powerful boss ladies Angela Yee, Caryn Prime, Tiffany Reid, and Mashonda Tifrere. Guests gathered at 98 Greene Street to shop it up for Spring, with a portion of proceeds going towards Camba. Attendees nibbled on hors d'oeuvres from Negril New York, sipped on juices from Drink Fresh Juice, and received makeup touch ups from...
It's been a while since I've done my lust lists! I stopped because I noticed some readers (hey y'all!) would buy an outfit right from under my nose before I was ready to splurge! And the list seemed indulgent and slightly narcissistic (but what isn't slightly narcissistic these days?). At any rate, this month I decided to create one anew because I realized that whatever I write down or visualize eventually becomes mine. So without further ado, a...
Any fashionista worth her salt knows the importance of tailoring. Clothes look the best when they fit, and alterations can uplift any look! So I decided to share one of my New York gems with you: New Express Tailor on 92 Rivington. This place is no muss, no fuss. Nothing fancy, at all, but they are professional, capable, and best of all, able to make alterations same day. I actually wrote this before they took my garments at 9:30 am (30 minutes...
