The Faby's Awards 2020 will be a virtual show, broadcast on Fashion Bomb Daily in the upcoming weeks! Because we got a bit pushed back, our award recipients accepted their trophies over Zoom. To film the interview, I wore a dress by Nigerian brand Tubo RTW and Cult of Coquette pumps from Fashion Bomb Daily Shop! It's no stranger that I am a fan of African designers, and there is so much talent brimming over in Lagos. Shipping has gotten better...
So on January 12th, I celebrated my 40th Birthday!!! Celebrating a milestone birthday during Quarantine is not ideal, but I felt allll the love through my phone!! I had a wonderful day full of flowers and gifts, topped off by a birthday dinner (outside) with some of my oldest friends. I am headed somewhere warm tomorrow to continue the celebration! As I reflect on my FORTY YEARS ON THIS EARTH (OMG), I have 5 lessons I've learned that I'd love...
This past weekend, I drove 3 hours outside of New York city to the snow dusted Catskills to Discover Scribner's Lodge, a woodsy retreat perfect for city slickers looking for a taste of the mountain life. As soon as we entered the King Loft, we were greeted by a wood burning fireplace, s'mores, and a bi-level room, perfect for rest and relaxation. What to do at Scribner's? Ice skate on the Glice Rink (this is fake ice)... Play Board or Yard...
Today, I proudly voted early in the 2020 Presidential Election! With Covid social distancing measures and the election fast approaching, I didn't want to risk a seriously long wait time on November 3rd, so went today. My local polling station opened at 7am. I was thinking no-one would show up on a Monday at 7am, so I got there at 8am. Big Mistake! The line wrapped around the building twice and down the street. While I checked the weather, Mr....
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...
Fall is here! And I'm all about fall fashion and repping brands that I love! Yesterday, I stepped out in one of my favorite Fall combos: a sweater dress by Giyea by Nina and Gianvito Rossi boots. I topped it off with a Fur Luxx jacket, and an Angie Fedora in white available at FashionBombDailyShop.com. What you get with an ambassadorships with yours truly: Professional photos, styling, makeup, and 5+ photos for you to use for you to use for...
We have been rocking with Hanifa from the very start, and are juiced to see so many celebs discover the bomb brand! One of the new bold faces in Hanifa? Sarah Jessica Parker, who stepped out in the same $209 Miya Purple Wrap Cardigan Dress previously worn by yours truly. Can we get a moment? Me vs. the QUEEN of Sex N the City. Gagging!! While SJP offset the purple tones in pink pumps, I showed her stems in a pair of Balenciaga tiger print...
Happy Thursday! So I just got back from a short but blissful trip to the Republic of the Maldives! The Maldives, which are a string of small islands located off the southern coast of India, has been on my bucket list of places to visit for quite some time, and though the times don't seem ideal for international travel, I figured: we have nothing else to do. Let's go! The only negatives of traveling during Covid (aside from the risk of...
