Last week, I was saddened to discover that one of my blogging buddies, Necole Bitchie, had decided to call it quits. I’d looked up to Necole for years; she put me ‘on’ back in the day when I’d written fashion for her site. She was always open to offering advice and counsel, which was and still is a rarity in this industry. While I was disheartened that she’d no longer be in the game, I 100% understood where she was…
The Bomb Life: Speaking at the Westminster Schools of Atlanta + Interviewing Tameka Raymond in 3.1 Phillip Lim and Manolo Blahnik Hangisi Pumps
Today was such a full day! I’m actually flying off to the Bahamas in a few hours, but wanted to recount the events of the past 24 hours. So I’m in Atlanta! I try to come down every year for my mom’s birthday (which is the 28th), and then I typically stick around and kick it. A few teachers at my high school, The Westminster Schools of Atlanta, wanted me to come speak to students, so I decided to do…
BVI Style Diary: A 3.1 Phillip Lim I love Nueva York Tee, Zara Jeans, and Christian Louboutin Gold Impera Pumps
So as I may have already mentioned, I co-hosted the Fashion Show down in BVI. I was nervous, so was more than excited to go do a run through with my co-host, Kenny Burns. For the work day, I slipped on my I Love Nueva York Tank with ripped Zara jeans, and added a bit of spunk with my Christian Louboutin Impera Pumps: Bam. And because Karl Pierre and I like to risk it all to get the shot, I…
4th of July Style Diary: A 3.1 Phillip Lim Embellished Tank, J Brand Distressed White Jeans, and a Chanel Boy Bag
So I’m a Covergirl! The beauty brand tapped yours truly along with two other digital media mavens to be the faces of their ‘New Americans’ collection! I’ll be in charge of Instagramming how to use iconic Covergirl makeup to create new looks. On the 4th of July, I was still acting crazy in blazers and pumps, but kept my look patriotic in a 3.1 Phillip Lim Embellished Tank and J Brand Distressed Jeans. White jeans are a summer staple. Get…
New York Style Diary Remix: A Topshop Check Coat, 3.1 Phillip Lim Sono Mama Embellished Tee, Zara Jeans, and Saint Laurent Bone Heels
So I’m like First Lady Michelle Obama: I repeat! And when I really like something, I wear it flagrantly and frequently. Such is the case with my ‘birthday’ top: a 3.1 Phillip Lim Sono Mama Embellished Tee. But while I dressed it up with a Topshop metallic skirt for my bday, I toned it down for an afternoon of shopping and brunching in the city with a pair of light washed jeans from Zara and my Topshop check coat. Though…
New York Style Diary: 3.1 Phillip Lim’s I Love Nueva York Tank, White Hudson Jeans, and a Hotel Particulier x Intermix Raccoon Jacket
Hey! So in the New Year, I’m going to be sharing more of my day to day looks with you…most times when I post outfits, it’s because I’m getting glam for an event. Yesterday, I had a bunch of meetings in the city, so slipped on a 3.1 Phillip Lim I Love Nueva York tank with white Hudson Jeans (I’m really loving the idea of white in the winter). It’s cold! So I decided to slip on my Hotel Particulier…
Miami Birthday Style Diary: A 3.1 Phillip Lim Sono Mama Embellished Top, Topshop Silver Metallic Skirt, and Saint Laurent Bone Heels
Shirt: 3.1 Phillip Lim// Skirt: Topshop// Shoes: Saint Laurent // Jewelry: Topshop I celebrated my birthday in Miami on January 12th:) This would count as one of my best birthdays ever…! I was able to enjoy my special day in the warmth and sun (instead of in the freezing cold, which is the norm for January birthdays!). I was surrounded by some of my best friends, and spent the day sunning at the beach, watching TV while eating junk food,…
Style Diary: A Diane von Furstenberg Lysia Printed Silk Blouse, 3.1 Phillip Lim Houndstooth Knit Pants, Rebecca Minkoff Gold Tuxedo Blazer, and Karl Lagerfeld Wool Blend Felt Baseball Cap
Happy Monday! So last week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Angela Simmons, and decided to pay homage to her glam/tomboy aesthetic with a somewhat experimental look: a Diane von Furstenberg Lysia Blouse, 3.1 Phillip Lim Houndstooth Shorts, and a Karl Lagerfeld Felt Baseball Cap. Yes, I’m wearing a baseball cap. So out of my comfort zone (I personally prefer berets), but turns out I can rock a fitted…as long as Karl Lagerfeld is on it;) I toned everything down…
