Cranes in the Sky (and On My Kimono)
I can’t believe it’s been a year since Solange‘s “A Seat at the Table” came out. This album, and particularly the song, “Cranes in the Sky,” was and has been my personal anthem for a lot of things over the past year, including the election & American politics, my career & personal life, and just […] Read More »
Summer Shirtdress Styling Tips
My summer wardrobe consists of mostly dresses – a mix of long, short and midi styles. I’m good for buying a discounted piece and styling it up with more expensive accessories.

Style in a Cinch
Be careful what you wish for…. It’s one of those phrases everyone is quick to say, but it’s so true, and my life is living proof of it. When I think back on where I was and what I was doing a year ago, and where I am and what I’m doing now, I’m so […] Read More »

Lipsticks are the one beauty product I can’t ever have enough of! If you saw my makeup collection, you would know – I own a lot.

Designer collaborations kinda jumped the shark a few years ago, especially since some of them cost almost the same price as the regular designer line!
