The Bomb Life: I’m Verified! + Try on Nice Things & Open Your Mind to Having More in a Kaoz by Brandon McDaniel Kimono

This morning I woke up to a nice little surprise. A blue check by my name! Being verified just means that you’re legit and on the right track (I guess!). Next up, Fashion Bomb Daily! At any rate, yesterday I was graciously invited to the Saks Fur Salon to try on a few furs. I’ve been into furs for quite some time (I mean there’s no better way to stay warm in frigid NYC temps)! In the past, I’ve worn…

The Bomb Life: Pyer Moss’ Marshall “Major” Taylor Inspired Collection for Hennessy in a Balmain Denim Blazer and Tom Ford

Pyer Moss is a designer who disrupts. Since he stepped on the scene, he has used his clothing as a platform to increase awareness of black history and current events (He created a Juneteenth shirt, which Usher wore to perform at Essence Music Festival, and famously made a tee decorated with names of black men killed by police brutality). He is a true activist–I can’t wait to interview him for Fashion Bomb TV! Until then, I’m always down to support…

The Bomb Life: Diamond Auto Sport Customized Luxury Cars

I don’t know a lot about cars. But as I ready myself to move to LA where everything is at least 20 minutes away, I know I’ll need a whip to match my fly. Enter Diamond Auto Sport: The company specializes in automobile customization, wraps, audio enhancements, and tints, so you can create the car of your dreams. Sometimes I want to go understated, but then I think: you only live once. If you must drive, why not get something…

Pivot + Plant Seeds: Running Around Town in An Intermix Winter White Coat, Fuzzy Skirt, and Tom Ford Padlock Pumps

Yesterday was crazy. Monday was a holiday and I’m flying out to New Orleans today to speak at the National Black MBA Conference (details here), so I packed my day full yesterday with meetings pon meetings. The day started with a fun breakfast at Cafe Cluny, followed by a stop by the Blood & Honey showroom (they have AHMAZING furs!!). I had too much fun. While I was having fun with fur, my manager hit me up and informed me…

Style Diary: Wearing a Balmain Blazer, Rayar Jeans, and Tom Ford Python Padlock Heels to Speak at BET/Centric’s The Round

So earlier this week, I was tapped by the producers of Centric TV’s the Round to tell my story on how I Broke into the Fashion industry. Breaking in wasn’t easy! I got my first fashion magazine internship at Paris Vogue, and as I said in my talk, I was tres tres poor. I was on the street style beat for Vogue, which meant meandering through the streets, taking pictures of stylish passersby. Because it required a good amount of…

The Downside of Being Busy, Booked, and Blessed

This morning, I raced to pack my bags and rush off to Newark for a flight to Baltimore for the National Urban League Conference. Pierre and I were invited to attend and cover street style; I’m also speaking on a panel! At any rate, I was running behind, and I was only a few minutes away from the airport (though it was looking doubtful, I was probably going to miss it!). As I approached departures, I got a call from…

The Bomb Life 101: The Importance of Hitting the Refresh Button

So I know I had promised a Cuba travel guide, but life got in the way…! Most of you will go to La Havana, and I provided a pretty detailed run down here. Otherwise, definitely visit CienFuegos, Trinidad, and Vinales (the beach) should you find yourself in Cuba. The cities are small enough to explore in a day or two, and you will LIVE! I’ve been in NYC for a week, and am already back into the swing of things,…
