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.

And because Karl Pierre and I like to risk it all to get the shot, I…

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…
