Confirmed! Balmain x H&M

May 18, 2015

It’s been confirmed, the next brand collaboration with H&M is none other than Balmain! How exiciting is this? I literally had to pick my jaw up from the floor while reading a glimpse of this news on Instagram. Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing subtly announced this new collab last night at the

Dope Find: Originals by Rita Ora

May 12, 2015

Summer is quickly approaching and I still can’t seem to get away from wearing black. Thank you Rita Ora for contributing to my dark hue woes with your new Spring/Summer ’15 collection with Adidas. I kid, I love it. Originals by musician, actress, and style icon Rita Ora is a series of fly sportswear apparel for women by Adidas. The four various design concepts are

H&M To Launch Beauty Line This Fall

May 12, 2015

It was only a matter of time before Swedish retailer H&M decided to join in on all the beauty fun. Quite frankly, I’m not surprised at all by the makeup dabbling they’ve stamped as, “fashion for the face.”

Letter From The Editor: Feed Your Soul

May 11, 2015

When was the last time you took a day or weekend to yourself? We all need to take time to reflect, relax, and reinvest in our personal health and well being, reconnecting with our minds, body, and soul. This past weekend I took time off to myself. I wasn’t necessarily focused on checking off tasks on my to-do list or catching up on business or emails. I sat around and did nothing, I thought and

I will be updating the closet weekly, so be sure to stay on the lookout for the goodies coming your way! Shop my closet…

Letter From the Editor: Challenge Yourself

Apr 16, 2015

I just joined a gym. Let me tell you, this is quite a big step for me, because I’ve never been the one to commit to a gym membership. A couple of summers ago I did a little stint over at a local gym near my apartment for $20 a month. But that’s exactly what I got, a $20 a month workout, and I cant quite say I took advantage of it anyway. This time around,

NastyGal on Melrose

I tell you, special moments just pass by before you know it. My birthday done came and went (March 30th) and I didn’t even get a chance to share with y’all! I just got back from my trip to Los Angeles to hang out with family and friends for my birthday. I love that city! This was probably my third time visiting, and each time I go back I learn something…

The Slick Back

Apr 7, 2015

Short hair can be a little limiting when it comes to switching up your style. Especially when you’re on the last leg, wash day is nearing, but you’re trying to squeeze a couple more days out of that straight style. You get what I’m saying. Let me put you on to this look, called “The Slick Back”.

Details

Apr 7, 2015

Ciara is such a babe. Sometimes, it really is all about the small details that can make you look so bomb. In this case, aside from her dope fit, did you peep that midi fishtail braid? So simple and effortless, which completely describes Ciara’s whole style right now.

I Tried It: Bantu Knot Out

Mar 9, 2015

I’d like to say my signature style would consist of a classic two strand twist out. It works every time, and I pretty much have the technique down to a science. But, occasionally I do get bored with this style and want to achieve a different type of curl. Enter stage left, the Bantu Knot Out, a style I’ve been eager to try for quite some time.
