I love adorning my natural hair with clips and elaborate headbands, but of late I’ve had a hard time finding truly unique, swoonworthy hair accessories that seemed made with natural hair in mind. I fell for the pointy fan-like hair clips and ornate barettes that adorned models in the NYFW Spring 2011 Rodarte show, but…

Sizzling Summertime Plus Size Swimsuits!
Today it is cold and rainy and bleak in Chicago. Still, I fantasize about warmer weather and honey the latest swimsuit collection by Monif C makes me yearn for summer heat and sand between my toes.

Oscar Fashion Highlights!
Can I be honest? Bellas, I felt lucky to make it all the way through last night’s Academy Award ceremony. I’ve been making it a point to watch the Oscars all the way through ever since I was little, and last night’s ceremony was naptastic. Snoozeworthy. Boring to the extreme. At the end I found…

I Dream of Spring
Last week the weather was unseasonably warm. The mere taste of 60 degree temperatures was enough to bring Chicago out into the streets. Around the downtown loop, it felt like Spring despite the bare trees and dwindling snowpiles. Just enough time for me to dream of Spring and the clothes and shoes I’m dying to…
Red Carpet Ready!
In this random DIY-career thing I’ve got going on, I’ve been lucky enough to experience some shall we say, red carpet moments. I’ve done a few step-and-repeats, and I’ve also been lucky enough to cover the red carpet and watch celebrities do their thing. In the photo above, I’m posing with Aly Walansky and Amber…
On My Way to NYC!
I really didn’t plan on being in New York for Fashion Week in February. Last September’s NYFW left me spent, stressed, and a little poorer for the experience (literally). I said to myself, self, you won’t be going back to New York and entering the NYFW vortex until September 2011. But then an e mail…

Bellas, I’m about to go on a special trip! Today I leave for New York, for the beginning of New York Fashion Week and for some truly special events that I still can’t quite believe I’m going to. I knew I had to hit the streets of New York looking fly from head to toe….
