This post is sponsored by COVERGIRL! Last night BET aired the annual Black Girls Rock! awards and I was SO thoroughly entertained and inspired. I’m so taken with Beverly Bond’s creation. Her organization goes so much further beyond glitz and glamour. It’s about reaching back and lifting up our sisters, it’s about recognizing our accomplishments…

I ADORE This Fashion Illustration By Veronica-Marché Miller!
Of all the vast number of things in this world that I wish I had the talent to do, drawing would be number two. Singing would be number one. I was an art minor in college but despite the fun I had in oil painting and ceramics classes, the clear and undeniable takeaway is that…
New York Fashion Week Frames Of Mind
There were a number of reasons why I wound up missing this past season of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York. Life intervened and I found myself in Chicago instead of strutting through the stylish crowds at Lincoln Center. Because I wasn’t there, I honestly didn’t plan any fashion week coverage. But then a friend…
Natural Hair Wash Day – What I Did And What I Used
By now you probably know that I’m pretty much a wash n’ go girl. Like I’ve said before, I don’t have much of a hair routine. I wash, condition, detangle, style minimally, dunzo. It isn’t because I‘m a low maintenance kind of girl. It’s primarily because I don’t have the skill set. I wish I…
What I Wore To BlogHer 13 Day 1
Bellas, I’m still basking in the afterglow and the glory that was my very first BlogHer conference. I was so honored and proud and excited to participate, and the experience didn’t disappoint at all.

An Elegy For Eloquii – The Frustrating State Of Plus Size Fashion
In case you haven’t been paying attention to the fashion news, The Limited’s plus size fashion line Eloquii, will be no more by the end of summer. Right now, the discounts are ridiculously steep. We’re talking 70% and 80% off the original prices, for those willing to dig through the remnants of dresses, tops and…
Gorgeous New Jewelry For You To Get Into
My husband has learned over the many years of our marriage – I’m not one for generic jewelry. I’m not one who wants him to go to Jared and I don’t believe every kiss begins with Kay. I don’t generally go gaga for the pieces you see on display at the department stores. What…
Natural Hair Confession – I Don’t Really Have A Hair Regimen
When I first went natural, it was all I thought about. I spent so much time in my first three or four years of natural hair, figuring it out. Creating a natural hair regimen can seem daunting at first. The products your hair responded to when it was relaxed, won’t have the same effects…
