Fashion’s Night Out started out absolutely awesome. I began the evening at Macy’s Herald Square location, interviewing the incredible Rachel Roy! (I promise to share, but the video I took can probably best be described as extreme close up. Like imagine just a shot of Rachel’s lips moving, LOL). There were moments of extreme awesomeness,…

My Aveda NYFW Hair Transformation
I got to New York City yesterday afternoon and already got swept up into fashion week fabulousness! Last night’s first stop – a hair, makeup and pampering session at the Aveda Advanced Academy. First – the BEFORE picture. So many of my favorite beauty bloggers were in the house – it was like a fabulous…
Gorgeous Naturals, Howard University, and the Ford Fiesta
Back in February, I had the opportunity to be part of something really special. I went to Howard University to cover a unique casting call for Ford Focus – their Inspired By Color event was SO Afrobella-tastic. I was absolutely astounded by the beauty of the aspiring models – all students at Howard with SO….
Want Of The Week: Low Heeled Shoes from Scarpasa.com
Lately I’ve come to some sad realizations about myself as a fashionista. I can do some pretty great makeup, I’ve got a decent accessory collection, and I know how to pull an outfit together more or less. But my shoe game is weaker than weak. And it’s all because of my flat, flat feet. As…
Last Days Of Summer Shoes
My very first summer in Chicago has been nothing short of glorious. Clear blue skies, bright sunshine, and a city ripe for the exploring. Who could ask for more? Well for someone like myself with super flat feet and the sometimes-painful issues that go with that, I’d have to admit that a pair of comfortable…
Old Navy Steps Up Their Plus Size Game
Ugh, I hate when I’m caught sleeping on a clothing brand I’ve been following for a while! I wasn’t particularly impressed with some of Old Navy’s women’s plus stuff earlier this season. I looked away for a little too long. Just yesterday I was amazed and astounded to see some wearable, fly designs on Old…

Want of the Week: Rachel Stewart Jewelry
I’ve come to realize that my jewelry personality is quite a bit different from my regular personality. If you meet me in person, I can be low key and sometimes even a little quiet (but always warm and friendly, or at least I try to be!). I’m not a loud person, by any means. But…
Behold, Bon Bon Vie!
I love seeing the passage of time, and what effects it has on our lives. Flashback to 2007. At the time I lived in Miami and needed a logo for my relatively-new-but-gaining-popularity blog. And Shari Neal was an up and coming graphic designer in Chicago. Shari submitted the winning entry to the Afrobella logo contest,…
Erykah’s Earwings
If you saw photos and video of Erykah Badu at Lollapalooza, you probably have two questions. 1: What was Erykah going for with that fabulous out-there hair? And 2: Where can I get a pair of those AMAZING earrings??? Thanks to the article and video interview on Billboard.com -we know that soon enough those enormous…
