There's an unwritten rule that says “There's no crying in fashion”, understandable right? Having thick skin when it comes to fashion is a must unless one of the hottest brands decides to collaborate with one of your favorite stores and you miss out completely. Then you can cry, scream, yell and kick all while silently cursing out those oh so lucky people who were able to snag a few goodies. Then you have those people, whose sole purpose was to buy items and sell them on eBay for double t[...]
// // ]]> Clueless is one of my all-time favorite 90’s movies. When it was in theaters, I went to see it a couple of times. Who doesn’t love Cher Horowitz and her BFF Dionne Davenport? By now, I swear I’ve seen this movie over a million times, I own it on VHS and DVD. No matter how much time passes, Clueless will always be a classic, must-see movie. “Cher: Been shopping with Dr. Seuss? Dionne: Well at least I wouldn’t skin a collie to make my back pack.” Both were into layer[...]
October is finally here which can only mean one thing, Halloween! Every year I try to plan my costume ahead of time but, I usually end up waiting until the last minute to decide who I want to be. Which then leads me to search through empty shelves in the costume aisle, forced to throw together a last-minute look. Last year I had an idea of who I wanted to be, but since I was so indecisive and waited until the night before I ended up being a sexy kitty. The year before that, I threw together a 7[...]
// // ]]> Besides the caramel apples, my favorite part of fall is shopping for a new coat. This year I'm overly obsessed with fur collars and cape coats. What's your current fall obsession? ♥[...]
// Naomi Campbell doesn't plan on retiring anytime soon. In my eyes Naomi Campbell is one of the greatest models to ever walk a runway. I recently watched a video, where she spoke to Nick Knight about racism in the fashion industry and the reason she refuses to retire. She’s unhappy with the continuous lack of racial diversity in the fashion industry. Naomi continues to make appearances on the runway because she feels she still has to represent for women of co[...]
// // ]]> Kelly Taylor (Beverly Hills 90210) vs Kelly Kapowski (Saved By The Bell) vs Kelly Bundy (Married With Children) Growing up watching 90’s sitcoms, I never really paid attention to the clothes that the characters wore. As a kid, I attended a private school where we had to wear uniforms, so up until high school, I knew nothing about fashion. Now that I’m older, I still love watching reruns of Beverly Hills 90210, Saved By The Bell, and Married With Children among others. Just the[...]
“I was insecure. I was a dark-skinned girl and extra skinny. I never, ever imagined it. I wanted it, but I never imagined it.” People were always telling Riley that she should be a nurse, “you’ll always have a job in nursing” they would say. After earning an associate's degree in nursing, Riley knew a career in the medical field wasn’t for her, especially since she disliked blood. Soon Riley moved to Los Angeles to pursue modeling. In her first year and a half in L.A., she wor[...]

// Solange is one of my favorite fashion inspirations, so it was no surprise when she showed up during Paris Fashion Week and showed out. This chick definitely knows how to "OWN" her look. She's always so well put together and her style definitely comes effortlessly. Which is your favorite look? [...]
Joyce Wilford was the First African American Model to Cover Seventeen Magazine. Joyce Wilford was the first black model to cover the July 1971 issue of Seventeen magazine. Though many have claimed that Whitney Houston was the first African American to cover Seventeen, she was on the November 1981 issue. Three years ago I did a post (here) stating that she was the first African American to cover the magazine, but I stand corrected after further research. // // ]]> ♥[...]
