looking fly on a dime holiday gift guide
As I went shopping this weekend, I noticed a common theme: stores are already playing holiday music! It really made me snap back to reality and get a move on with my shopping. I never, ever know what to buy anyone for the holiday.
And that's where InStyle.com's Pop-Up Holiday Boutique really comes in handy. With fashion and beauty goods on hand, you'll have no problem finding something for everyone in your life. Though I love giving stylish gifts, determining sizing is always tricky. But with items like scarves, gloves, tech accessories and purses, they're one size fits all.

affordable outerwear, fall jackets under $100

There's no denying it. Fall is here. It's officially been here for a few weeks, but now the chilly temps are consistently in the 60s and below and nights are getting colder. Transitioning to fall fashion can be tricky, but it's easier than you think. In light of the new season, I wanted to share a few fall fashion pieces I've written for other sites.I write the weekly Cheap and Chic column for Ebony.com and this week it was all about fall's best lightweight jackets for the guys. Fall outerwear has to meet so many requirements: solid enough to keep the chill away, light enough so you're not burning up by the end of the day and roomy enough to allow for layering. And of course, all of the picks are affordable. Though the jackets are specifically for the men, a few of them, including the galaxy print above, can work for the ladies.Also, I was recently interviewed by BlackEnterprise.com and I shared my best tips for fall shopping. From when to shop to what pieces to save on or invest in, I dished on it all...

Kohl's rock & republic jeans, rock & republic for kohl's

I've never been a fan of boyfriend jeans. If I must do denim, I'm a proud member of team skinny jeans {I own more than a dozen pairs}. Though I never full on hated boyfriend jeans, the relaxed, semi-sloppy fit just isn't my thing, especially since I'm only 5'2.  But I always encourage you guys to step out of your style box, I decided to take my own advice.I'm a huge fan of Kohl's and when they contacted me about a jean campaign for their Rock & Republic line, I jumped at the opportunity. I did something out of the ordinary and selected a pair of boyfriend jeans to style.
