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 &...

I have a confession: I love cheap jewelry. Well, I don’t specifically seek out cheap-y pieces, but when I stumble upon a hole in the wall store or random shop in SoHo, I love walking away with a ton of accessories for next to nothing. And more importantly, I love finding ways to incorporate them in my wardrobe in a fun way. Whether it’s a funky hat or bold necklace, accessories can transform any and every look. A few weeks ago I found a cute floral romper from...

I know some people who wear vintage from head to toe. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I love mixing a touch of vintage with contemporary threads. And that’s exactly what I did last weekend.

From the jeans to the tops and especially the dresses, the pieces are flirty, sweet and super feminine. So...

   Last week was my Best Dressed Madame event that I hosted during Essence Music Festival and we had an amazing time. Along with my co-hosts Carmen from Lipstick Fashion Mascara and Tiffini of Atlanta Tastemaker Magazine, the night was full of drinks, light bites and fashionable fun. I’ll have a full recap for you next week, but for now, let’s just focus on what I wore. Our event was held at May Baily’s Place at the Dauphine Orleans Hotel. The bar used to be a brothel {cheeky!},...

There’s something so beautiful about dresses from the 40s, 50s and 60s. The silhouettes flatter a woman’s figure all while being classic and refined. So I was amazed when I came across a gorgeous dress at Housing Works Buy the Bag. The print. Halter neck. Full skirt…but it wasn’t vintage. It was a modern Anne Klein frock. Either way, I loved it and scooped it up {psst: Housing Works Buy the Bag offers clothes for $25 per bag, so this cost less than a buck!}. I’m not a...
