My name is Patrice and I'm a hardcore high heel lover, but I'm absolutely obsessed with a pair of sneakers. Whew, that was tough for me to say! But no seriously, I bought a pair of sneakers from Target a few weeks ago and they've become my go-to sneakers, particularly for traveling.That's not a big deal, right? Cute, comfy sneakers can be a dime a dozen. But what surprised me is that they're from the boys section. Yup, my latest dime find is from the little boys department at Target! And they make navigating the airport like a pro an absolute breeze.Target Cat & Jack tan high top sneakers

A few days ago I made another appearance on Essence Now, Essence magazine's weekly digital show. Last year I showed affordable style options to decode your holiday party dress code. But this time around it was still holiday related, but all about gift baskets.
While you can buy a ready made gift basket, there's nothing better than creating a custom DIY gift basket. One that's really tailored to the person and the things they want or even need.

Shoes and accessories are the easiest way to update any look. And when those shoes are super affordable, that's even better! I made a visit to Payless last week and I found tons of trendy gear that's perfect for fall.
Literally as soon as I walked in I was stunned by a few pieces I needed to have for the new season.

Two weeks ago I made my way to Atlanta for their annual Fabulous event, where the store's vendors talk about the products they have in store. From hair to makeup to fashion, there more close to two dozen brands on hand and they all had amazing products that are sold at Family Dollar.
Below are a few of my favorite moments from the event, as well as products I think you might love.
