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)!

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…

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.

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…
