I took a little blogcation and wow! What a difference a week made! Before last week, I was feeling stressed out and stagnant. Today I’m still stressed out… but feeling great! Why? Because my application to cover events at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York was APPROVED, and I’m totally going to the tents for the first time!
I didn’t expect this, and I am beyond excited. And proud. I’ll be covering all the hottest fashion, beauty and hello – hair trends for you bellas. But today my first issue is OMG, what am I gonna wear??
I’m about to hit downtown Chicago with a vengeance, so expect a full report on the ins and outs of full figured fashion here in the Windy City. And this week will be all fashion on Afrobella. Expect posts on the hottest fall trends, tips for workin it as a plus size bella in the season of layers, and chic accessories to pull it all together!
If you’re a PR working on NYFW events, please e mail me at bella@afrobella.com – I won’t be in town for long, but would love to meet up and have some fashionable fun!

I’m so excited to get your perspective on fashion week. You’ll be great! Please share what you buy on your spree. I can’t wait to see what you find in the Windy City.
P.S. Your blog is my favorite, but I can’t wait to buy a copy of your book.

Congratulations! I’m super jealous and look forward to reading all about your adventures here.
What to wear when reporting on fashion? I see you in lots of long flowy summer dresses with several fun jackets on for warmth- motorcycle, military. (Like in your post on going to summer music fests..) Also, I can see you in those dark motorcyle/military jackets with dark tops- cowl neck? plus dark, knee-level skirts with heels and boots. A couple long trousers worn with tops and a fabulous wrap. For some reason I’m thinking hot pink, kelly green, and mustard/lime yellow for the tops and dresses.
